They used to move me in a sheet, one holding one end, and another the other.” P. 31: “I began to crawl on my hands and feet.” P. 263: “I felt myself on fire: this inward fire and despair.…” P. 17: “The fainting fits began to be more frequent; and my heart was so seriously affected, that those who saw it were alarmed.” P. 27: “It seemed to me as if my heart had been seized by sharp teeth.” P. 235: “I saw, in the Angel’s hand, a long spear of gold, and at the iron’s point there seemed to be a little fire.
