ight be able to direct them
to a remedy.

13 So when they showed the young
woman to her, and the signs
of the leprosy, which appeared
between her eyes;

14 She said, I also whom ye
see in this place, was afflicted
with the same distemper, and going
on some business to Bethlehem, I
went into a certain cave, and saw
a woman named Mary, who had a
son called Jesus.

15 She seeing me to be leprous,
was concerned for me, and gave
me some water with which she
had washed her son's body, with
that I sprinkled my body, and
became clean.

16 Then said these women, Will
you Mistress, go along with us,
and show the Lady St. Mary to
us?

17 To which she consenting,
they arose and went to the Lady
St. Mary, taking with them very
noble presents.

18 And when they came in and
offered their presents to her,
they showed the leprous young woman
whom they brought with them to
her.

19 Then said St. Mary, The
mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ
rest upon you;

20 And giving them a little of
that water, with which she had
washed the body of Jesus Christ,
she bade them wash the diseased
person with it, which when they
had done, she was presently
cured;

21 So they, and all who were
present, praised God; and being
filled with joy, they went back to
their own city, and gave praises to
God on that account.

22 Then the prince hearing that
his wife was cured, took her home
and made a second marriage, giving
thanks unto God for the recovery
of his wife's health.

CHAPTER XIII.

1 A girl, whose blood Satan sucked receives one
of Christ's swaddling clothes from the Virgin,
14 Satan comes like a dragon, and she shews it to him;
flames and burning coals proceed from it and fall upon him;
19 he is miraculously discomfited, and leaves the girl.

THERE was also a girl, who
was afflicted by Satan,

2 For that cursed spirit did
frequently appear to her in the shape
of a dragon, and was inclined to
swallow her up, and had so sucked
out all her blood, that she looked
like a dead carcass.

3 As often as she came to herself,
with her hands wringed about
her head she would cry out, and
say, Wo, Wo is me, that there is
no one to be found, who can deliver
me from that impious dragon!

4 Her father and mother, and
all who were about her and saw
her, mourned and wept over her;

5 And all who were present
would especially be under sorrow
and in tears, when they heard her
be
