which was caused by the great tribulations of his mind

on account of his wickedness,

And this great sin, and his many other sins, did harrow up his mind

until it did become exceedingly sore,

having no deliverance;

therefore he began to be scorched with a burning heat.

and when he saw them he stretched forth his hand,

and besought them that they would heal him.
