Cuius ut virtus iuxta apostolum in infirmitate perficeretur, tacta est repente gravissimo corporis morbo, et per annos novem pia Redemptoris nostri provisione multum fatigata: videlicet ut quicquid in ea vitii sordidantis inter virtutes per ignorantiam vel incuriam resedisset, totum hoc caminus diutinae tribulationis excoqueret.
The virtue of which woman, that it might, as the apostle saith, be made perfect in weakness, she was suddenly taken with a very grievous sickness of body, and was therewith sore tormented by the space of nine years through the merciful provision of our Redeemer: surely to the end that whatsoever spot of defiling sin had through ignorance or negligence remained among her virtues, it might all be melted out by the furnace of long tribulation.
