Which word best describes how bradford feels about the caretakers of the ill

The word that best describes how Bradford feels about the caretakers of the sick is "Admiration". 
William Bradford wrote the book "Of Plymouth Plantation". It was written in what is know as the Puritan Plain style. This book is regarded as the most authoritative account of the Pilgrims and their early years in Plymouth.  Of Plymouth Plantation is a mixture of fact and Bradford's interpretations of the facts. The Pilgrims believed that showing their Christian-like love for one another was to care for them even when they were sick. 

Ithink that story needs some revising. hmm some academic language perhaps? and sylvia is but i do think that rainbow is spectacular
