The earl urged his entreaties with tears, earnestly praying that he would go in and <u>pray </u>for him, because his life was of great consequence to him; and he believed that if the bishop would lay his hand upon him and give him his <u>blessing</u>, he would soon mend.

To consecrate means to declare something sacred, and to desecrate means to violate. If you pray for somebody, you want something good to happen to them, if you bless them, you ask God's protection for them. Blessing is a good thing, curse is a bad thing. To recover means to get well, and to deteriorate means to become even sicker.
