<blockquote>Trying to settle on Yuletide requests (!!!) AND convince other people to sign up, and somehow that led to me squinting at the jpeg of Elizabeth Parker's Sampler at the V&A Museum and transcribing the whole thing because it's so difficult to read and the only text version I could find online had a ton of mistakes. (It's probably somewhere really obvious but NEVER MIND it's done now!)
Probably don't read this unless you're in the mood to be horribly depressed (also: gigantic wall of unpunctuated text). TW: abuse, attempted suicide, religious guilt.</blockquote>
