befoTe. HebiedattheNofevery plentifully, and therefore we thought it 
proper to take 2 or 3 fmall Porringers of blood from him. 
Saturday morning, the lad day before Chrifimas^ he defired ag ain to go 
to confefs, and fo to difpofc himfelf for the Communion. Then one Mr. 
Bonnet examined him in hearing him confefs, and after he had found him to 
have all the reafon neceffary to receive the Sacrament, he prefently gave 
him the Communion. That fame d iy his Urine clear'd up, and after that 
time it refumed by little and little its natural colour. 
His Wife mean time, that had fought him from town to town, came to 
Parl^\ and having found him out, when he fnw her, he foon expreffed much 
joy to fee her, and related to her vi^ith great prefenceof mind the feveral 
Accidents that had befallen him, running up and down ftreets; how the 
Watch had feized on him one night, and how Calfs-blood had been transfu- 
fed into his veins. 
This Woman confirmed yet more to us the good efFeds of theTransfu- 
fion, by afluring us, that at the feafon we were now in, her Husband 
fhould be outragious, and very mad againft her felf, and that infteadof the 
kindnefs he (hewed to her at this Ftill of the Moon, he ufed to do nothing 
but fwear, and beat her. 
' lis true, that comparing his calm condition, wherein he now was, with 
that, wherein every body had feen him before the Trmsfujlon^ no man 
fcrupled to fay that he was perfe31y recovered. Yet to fpeak the plain truth, 
I was not fo well fatisfied as others feem'd to be, and I could not perfwadt 
my felf that he was in fo good a temper as to ftop there, but I was inclin'd 
tobeheveby fome things ! faw, that a third Transfufion might be requifite 
to accomplifh what the two former had begun. 
Yet in delaying the execution of thefe thoughts from day to day, we ob- 
ferved fo g eat an amendment in his carriage, and his mind fo clear'd up 
by little and little, that his wife and all his friends having affur'd us that he 
was redored to the fame (late he ufed to be in before his Phrenzy, we en- 
tirely quitted that refolution. I have fcen him almofl: every day fince • he 
hath expreffed to me all manner of acknowledgment, ?nd been alfo with 
M,de Montmor, thinking him very civily for his goodne^j in recovering 
him out of that miferable condition he was in by a remedy which he 
ftould remember as long as he lived, s 
He is at prefentof a very calm fpirit, performs all hisfundions very well, 
and fleeps all night long without interruption, though he faith he hath now 
and then troublefome dreams- He hath carried himfelf fo difcteetly in 
fome vifits he made this week, that divers Phyfitians, and other per-
