I. Ƨ.
She came the second time to London halfe a yeare before the great
plague in 1665.
She was sick of a feaver A.D. 1665; she sayd, not in London.
She was like to dye of St. Anthonie's fire about Michaelmas 1675. Mris
Smyth fell sick dangerously of a pleurisie about the first weeke of
October 1675. About the latter end of March 1675/6 she had a terrible
chronicall disease[974], under which she laboured a 12 month or +. The
first weeke in August 1683, in extreme danger of death by a suppression
of urine, the ureters being stopped.
[975]Now I conclude with an earnest request that you would please to
enquire for a colledge lease, as you did for Edward Shirbourne[976]
(whom nobody can find[977]). It is for that obliging body, Mris Smith,
that lives with Mr. Wyld. They cohabite, as Mary, countess of Pembroke,
with Sir Martin Lister. I owe most of Mr. Wyld's civility from her
goodness. And herein you will doe me the greatest kindness that you
could imagine, for I am more obliged to her than to anybody. I beseech
you, for God's sake, to mind this humble request of mine.
