,

they

saw

there

many

and

grievous

diseases

infesting

the

eyes

of

the

children

,

who

were

dying

in

consequence

.

And

a

woman

was

there

with

a

sick

son

,

whom

,

now

very

near

death

,

she

brought

to

the

Lady

Mary

,

who

saw

him

as

she

was

washing

Jesus

Christ

.

Then

said

the

woman

to

her

:

O

my

Lady

Mary

,

look

upon

this

son

of

mine

,

who

is

labouring

under

a

grievous

disease

.

And

the

Lady

Mary

listened

to

her

,

and

said

:

Take

a

little

of

that

water

in

which

I

have

washed

my

son

,

and

sprinkle

him

with

it

.

She

therefore

took

a

little

of

the

water

,

as

the

Lady

Mary

had

told

her

,

and

sprinkled

it

over

her

son

.

And

when

this

was

done

his

illness

abated

;

and

after

sleeping

a

little

,

he

rose

up

from

sleep

safe

and

sound

.

His

mother

rejoicing

at

this

,

again

took

him

to

the

Lady

Mary

.

And

she

said

to

her

:

Give

thanks

to

God

,

because

He

hath

healed

this

thy

son

.
