_God's Marks._--In Roper's _Life of More_ there is an account of Margaret

Roper's recovery from an attack of the sweating sickness. The belief of the

writer was, that the recovery was miraculous; and to enforce that opinion

he asserts, that the patient did not begin to recover until after "God's

marks (an evident undoubted token of death) plainly appeared upon her."

(Roper's _More_, p. 29., Singer's edition.) Pray what is meant by "God's

marks?"
