From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)

This day Sir W. Batten, who hath been sick four or five days, is now
very bad, so as that people begin to fear his death---and I at a
loss whether it will be better for me to have him die, because he is
a bad man, or live, for fear a worse should come.

		-- Pepys' Diary, 7 Feb. 1665
