Ge. Why then, believe that you may recover. Some have been cur'd by making Vows to a Saint.
Li. But I have no Dealings with Saints.
Ge. Then pray to Christ that you may have Faith, and that he would be pleased to bestow the Blessing of Health upon you.
Li. I can't tell whether it would be a Blessing or no.
Ge. Why, is it not a Blessing to be freed from a Distemper?
Li. Sometimes it is better to dye. I ask nothing of him, but only that he'd give me what would be best for me.
Ge. Take something to purge you.
Li. I am laxative enough already.
Ge. Take something to make you go to Stool. You must take a Purge.
Li. I ought to take something that is binding rather, for I am too laxative.
