    • 1676, Paolo Sarpi, The History of the Council of Trent Containing Eight Books:
      Upon Monday morning being risen out of his Bed, and having put on his Cloaths, he was surprised with a total defailance both in his hands and his legs, on which he was not able to stand without support, nor move the other without trembling, which was followed with so great an abhorment of his food, that if it had not been born out by the strength of his resolution, he could not have received a cordial.
