At the elapsion of the fifth week / the heavenly queen appeared to her again / and proferred to her a heavenly drink / that she accepted with appropriate reverence and enjoyed / all the more as she recuperated to such an extent / that her strength and health were much higher than before / and she could not easily be overcome byfour men.
