New Year's Day, about 9 of the clock after noon. Michael, going childishly with a sharp stick of eight inches long and a little wax candle light on the top of it, did fall upon the plain boards in Mary's chamber, and the sharp point of the stick entered through the lid of his left eye toward the corner, next the nose, and so pierced through: in so much that great abundance of blood came out under the lid, in the very corner of the said eye. The hole on the outside is not bigger than a pin's head. It was anointed with St John's oil. The boy slept well: God speed the rest of the cure. J) separ. ifJ 0-€ radicalis, qui erat 2t. et Q-€ ipsum iam in ifJ fere sui loci radicalis in domo 7. It would have caused a great deal of harm, if 2t. had not ascended to the very cusp. The next day after, it appeared that that first touch of the stick's point was at the very middle of the apple of the eye, and so (by God's mercy and favour) glanced to the place where it entered, with the weight of his head and the force of his fall, that I may make some show of it. I? To the praise of God for his mercies and protection.
