This laid the foundation of a 
severe cold, which brought on violent
Erysipelas. <gap></gap>We set out however, again,
I <sic>travelled</sic>  <corr>traveled</corr> 5 days & 6 nights without
intermission, to <placename>Wesel</placename>. <gap></gap>Here I felt 
a considerable degree of fever from
the effects of the cold. 
<gap></gap>Our next Stage was <placename>Arnheim</placename>, where
we experienced a gracious preservation
from our Lord. <gap></gap>The fore axle of our 
carriage having broken, we were 
dragged several yards close to the
sloping bank of the city moat, but
were extricated from our perilous
situation by the soldiers on duty.
We rendered heartfelt thanks to our
Lord for this merciful Preservation.
From here I arrived at <placename>Leist</placename> in a high
fever, & my right eye quite closed up.
