26. After her father had prayed for her, he asked her whether he should send for the Physician; she answered, by no means, for I am now beyond the help of Doctors. But said he, my Child, we are to use the ordinary means appointed by the Lord for our help as long as we live, and let the Lord do as seemeth good in his eyes. But said she, give me the heavenly Physician he is the only helper, doth not he say, Come unto me ye that are weary and heavy laden, and I will give ye rest, and doth not he bid us call upon him in the day of distress, and he will deliver us, and we shall glorify him: ⟨p. 37⟩Therefore, dear father, call upon him yet again for me.
