First is お迎え入れること適わず more or less the same as 迎え入れて適わない?

Second does `なにぶんひ弱な身の上にて陽の下はご容赦頂きたく`means something along the lines :somehow
my body\身の上 can not bear benign "under the light"\陽の下 therefor i ask for you
pardon ?

question
grammar syntax sentence
A question regarding お迎え入れること適わず and 身の上にて陽の下
(～する)ことかなわず is a stiff set phrase that roughly means the same thing as
(～する)ことはできず. This かなう means "(for a wish) to come true". は is omitted in this
set phrase probably because it's an old expression.

> 貧相な住まいにございましては到底お迎え入れること適わず、  
>  My house is poor, so I can never welcome you into my house, ...

なにぶん used with a reason is a kind of intensifier (perhaps "at any rate" or
"after all" is the closest?).
[身の上](https://jisho.org/word/%E8%BA%AB%E3%81%AE%E4%B8%8A) by itself refers to
one's personal history/circumstances, not one's body. This ～にて is an archaic
way of saying ～であって/～でして ("is ～, and/so ..."). Xは容赦してください (or Xは許してください,
Xは勘弁してください) literally means "Please be forgiving concerning X". It's used when
X is the last thing one wants to do, so it's like "Please, no X!" or "Please,
I can do anything but X".
