My forces are not enfeebled, I find no decay in my strength my provisions are not cut off, I find no abhorring in mine appetite my counsels are not corrupted nor infatuated, I find no false apprehensions to work upon mine understanding and yet they see that invisibly, and I feel that insensibly, the disease prevails.
