Spanish term or phrase: lo favoreció de morir
More from the legend (pls. see my previous question if you need more context). I'm not sure who is doing what here, but the patient didn't die.

Al labar las heridas del pasiente, una hermana en su corazon aclamó al Sr. de los Rayos por su salud, del cual por su piedad infinita lo favoreció de morir. El referido Francisco lleno de fe y agradesimiento le presenta este Retablo en donde se vé postrado en compañía de su mamá y hermana, dándole infinitas gracias por tan sing… favor

agree  Natalia Pedrosa (X): I honestly do not agree with Robert, as "spare one's life" means you keep from killing someone, and this is clearly not the case. It means it prevented his death.
