Most of the above passage includes descriptions of the tasks that the caretakers did for the sick, but if you look where Bradford first mentions those caretakers, you can see just how he feels about them. This phrase, "there was but six or seven sound persons, who, to their great commendations be in spoken, spared no pains, night nor day, but with abundance of toil and hazard of their own health" holds the key. If you look closely at this phrase, Bradford describes how many people acted as caretakers (six or seven) and includes a single word, "commendations," that means praise. To suggests they deserve "great commendations" tells the reader that Bradford feels like these caretakers deserve the highest praise for what they do. My answer, then, would be the word "commendations."

Sherlock Holmes kept his tobacco in the toe of his Persian slipper.
Explanation:
The famous character of Sherlock Holmes is a creation of Arthur Conan Doyle, a British writer. His fictional character of Sherlock Holmes is famous worldwide, with it being made into movies with numerous titles.
One of the most significant characterization of the image of "Sherlock Holes" is his tobacco pipe, or the Calabash which has become one with his character. This pipe or tobacco is seen alongside him always, becoming part of his own persona. In "The Adventures of The Musgrave Ritual", we see his partner Dr. Watson mentioning that Holmes used to keep "his tobacco in the toe end of a Persian slipper". This particular item or accessory of Holmes is also his distinguishing feature in the story, for it gives him a unique entity of his own.
