Reading edition
The 26 of Janurie it was faire cleere weather, but in the horrison there hung a white or darke cloude,431 whereby we could not see the sun; whereupon the rest of our companions thought that we had mistaken our selues upon the 24 day, and that the sunne appeared not vnto vs, and mocked vs; but we were resolute in our former affirmation that we had seene the sunne, but not in the full roundnesse. That euening the sicke man that was amongst vs was very weake, and felt himselfe to be extreame sick, for he had laine long time,432 and we comforted him as well as we might, and gaue him the best admonition yt we could,433 but he died not long after midnight.
