The animated pain of the body.

Among all her other illnesses, the first was a great and continuous headache: because of this it often seemed to her that the back of her head boiled like a pot placed on the fire: and because of her great anguish, it looked to her as though her eyes, full of fire, were about to pop out of her head; and that she could not retain even one of her senses, were it not for the grace of God helping her supernaturally.

Because of those terrible pains, she was weakened.l
