Ubi cum venissemus, inquit, et magno universorum gaudio suscepti essemus, indicavit nobis abbatissa, quod quaedam de numero virginum quae erat filia ipsius carnalis gravissimo languore teneretur: quia phlebotomata est nuper in brachio, et cum esset in studio, tacta est infirmitate repentini doloris, quo mox increscente magis gravatum est brachium illud vulneratum, ac versum in tumorem, adeo ut vix duabus manibus circumplecti posset, ipsaque iacens in lecto prae nimietate doloris iam moritura videretur.
And when we were come there, said he, and had been entertained with great joyfulness of all, the abbess told us that one of the number of the virgins, which was her own daughter in the flesh, lay pining of a grievous malady; because she was let blood of late in her arm, and while it was being looked to, she was stricken with a sudden affliction of pain, which growing upon her more and more, the arm that was wounded waxed very sore, and passed to be so swollen that a man could scarce clip it with both his hands, and she lying in bed for the great intolerable pain seemed to be at the point to die.
