The humble Petition of Mary the Wife of Christopher Love;
SHOWETH,
SHEWETH,
That your poor Petitioner hath great cause to say, Blessed be God, and blessed be You, for your merciful Vote of the 15th of July (a Day never to be forgotten) in adding a month to the Life of her dear Husband, which hath opened a door of Hope to her in the midst of the Valley of Achor, and made her glad, though she be a woman of a sorrowful Spirit; yet your distressed Handmaid is overwhelmed with grief and anguish of Soul, and cannot be comforted when she remembers that doleful Day the 15th of August, so near approaching, her heart doth almost die within her, and she is as one giving up the ghost, before she is delivered of the fruit of her womb.
