And of these in the time of most distress, three
was but six or seven sound persons,
no pains, night or day,
but with abundance of toil and hazard
of their own health, fetched them
wood, made them fires, dressed them
; in a word, did all the homely
and necessary offices for ; and
all this willingly and cheerfully,
without any grudging in the least,
showing herein their true love unto
their friends and i
doubt that not but that their
recompense (reward] is with the lord.
