{"content": "In this abbey, Wisdom shall be the Abbess and Mekenes the sub-prioress. These are in the convent. Poverty, Cleanness, Temperance, Sobriety, Penance, Buxomness, Confession, Righteousness, Predication, Strength, Patience, Simplicity, Mercy, Largesse, Reason, Pity, and Meditation are its virtues. Orson Deucon is its founder, visitor, and founder. The Father of heaven is its founder, the Son its governor, and the Holy Ghost its inspirer. But even if an abbey has never had such a good founder, governor, and visitor, it must still have good charters by which it may hold its land, rent, and freedom. Perhaps it will be ill-served or suffer much disease from enemies. Therefore, I will recite the charters in which I will say when, where, and from whom this abbey was first founded or grounded. Then I will say how it was first made and, in a short time, destroyed, and in what manner, and for how long time it was made again as it was before.\nAnd how almighty God has placed His four daughters in this holy abbey against the four daughters of the devil, whom the Holy Ghost chased away because they were so foul.\n\nKnow that those present and those to come, I, almighty God in Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, have given and granted, and confirmed with My word to Adam, the forefather of man, and to Eve his wife, and to their heirs, a little precious place that is called Conscience, which lies between a place called Synderesis that stirs a man towards goodness and grates against evil in the other half. Whose end lies fast by the grace of God, through which every man may do well if he will. And that other end lies in Joy if the soul is clean out of sin.\n\nThis holy place almighty God gave to Adam and to Eve and to their heirs, cleanly and without any fear. In which God made a noble house of religion called the abbey of the Holy Ghost.\nIn this abbey, he admitted many ladies, that is, good virtues. There he appointed charity as abbess, wisdom as prioress, and meekness as sub-prioress. He fortified this abbey around with strength, so that no wicked thought could enter it, if Adam and his wife had not entered themselves. He granted them lordship over all the world to maintain this holy house, so that all the fish in the sea and all the birds of the air and beasts of the earth would have been obedient to him and his wife and their heirs after them, if Adam and his wife had kept themselves from sin until their ending days. He granted and conceded this aforementioned place to the aforementioned Adam and to Eve and to their heirs freely and in peace, without let from any man ever. And with this, joy and bliss shall never end, for the service and custom that pertains to the chief Lord of the fee. It was no more than to withstand the temptation of the flesh and of his wife.\nAnd that lasted not a mile way space. And almighty God should have warranted to Adam and Eve and their heirs that noble place to have dwelt forever in more joy than any tongue can tell. Also, that they and their heirs should never have suffered woe or died, but when almighty God would have taken him up in body and soul to the bliss of heaven, there to have lived without end, if Adam and his wife had kept them from sin, as I said one day. Witnesses are angel and man, heaven and earth, sun and moon and all creatures. Given at paradise the first day that man was made. In the year of the reigning of almighty God, king of kings, whose kingdom never began nor shall have ended.\n\nMany men there be who would be in religion, but they may not, for various causes.\nTherefore, those who are not in bodily reliance, but in ghostly reliance if they will, is founded in a place called Conscience. But first, the place must be cleansed with the grace of the Holy Ghost. Two maids called Love and Righteousness shall cast away from Conscience all manner of filth. Then shall Meekness and Poverty make the foundation thereof, and put away all worldly thought, though men have worldly goods set not their love thereon. And then they may be called men poor in spirit, to whom Christ gives his blessing.\n\nThis abbey must also be set upon a river, it is the river of tears, on which river Maudelyne was founded in sorrowing for her sins. Therefore, the grace of God and heavenly riches came all to her will.\n\nThen shall Buxomness and mercy repair the walls and make them strong with almsdeeds, giving gladly to poor men according to your state. \"If you have much given to you, give much. If you have little, give what you can.\" (Thobias)\n\"This is to mean: If you are rich, give generously of your worldly goods. If you are poor, be of good will to give gladly of what you have. For St. Paul says, \"God loves a cheerful giver.\" We will build our house in heaven with the love of God and of our Christian brethren. Then peace and strength will raise up all the pillars and set them with bondages, so that no wind of words of anger, nor tempest of persecution, nor temptation may cast them down. We must make our cloister in this manner: it shall keep us ghostly out of all worldly thoughts and senses - keep our eyes from all evil sights, our ears from evil hearing, our mouths from evil speaking, swearing, and lying, and our hearts from all evil thoughts. And if we keep these four corners, we will build well our cloister. A maiden confession shall make our chapel house.\"\nPredication on the fratour and Orison the oratory. Contemplation on the dormitor. And if these are to be raised up to the worship of God, they must stand out from worldly noise, worldly vanity, and anger.\n\nContemplation is not otherwise but a devout heart with a burning love for God, taking some part of the blessedness that is ordained for His chosen in heaven.\n\nPity shall be our firm Deacon, and holy Meditation shall be garnished. When all these officers are made, the holy ghost is ward, with God the Father, Father, with God the Son, Wisdom of the Father. The worthy lady Charity shall be abbess of this house, for all these other officers shall obey to Charity.\n\nUndoubtedly we will be in charity faith.\nAll thing that you do/say or think, be they in the love of God. Alas, if I durst say, many are in reliance but few are reliable, those who obey Paul's bidding, therefore let them save much time and also their mede. Now shall the worthy lady Wisdom be our prioress. Namely, before her is sapience. The good lady Mekenesse, who always loves herself, shall be our sub-prioress. This abbey is blessed by God that has these governors, for all are blessed who hold them in their school. For they who keep Charity, Wisdom, and Mekenesse, the three persons in trinity, shall give them heaven as reward. That soul is great and high in heaven that has these three within herself. Charity, Wisdom, and Mekenesse. Discrection shall be treasurer, and Orison shall be chamberlain. No one shall sacrifice to the devil, torment the solace of the tormentor.\nThe fiend said to Bertilmew, our lord's apostle: \"Your orisons burn me. Saint Bernarde says that what we pray in good life: our good angel dares and makes thereof a present to the father in heaven, and then our Lord commands him to write them in the book of life.\n\nSaint Austin tells you Iubylacon, your orison's fellow, is a joy conceived in tears with a ghostly love that may not be shown in all, nor hidden in all. As it does by them who heartily love it, they give alms and continue in their prayers, where they are, their hearts sing morning songs of love, when they long inwardly with arms of love to clasp with ghostly mouth to kiss, their love sometimes so heartily that they lack words, so their love rouses the hearts that they know not sometimes what they do.\"\n\nDeusacyon is Celere, he keeps all the ways both white and red. These are all the worthy thanks which we all owe to God, for the endless goodness He has done, does, and will do to us, if we will ourselves.\nThis goodness he showed when we all should have been lost through Adam's sin and been in hell without end / had he not, in great goodness and pity, become man for our sake / living here many winters in great penance and passion / and at last nailed on a cross and with a spear tongue to the heart and died / all for love of us to bring us out of pain.\n\nThe goodness he does to us now is while we are here in body and soul / giving us all that we need, both bodily and spiritually. Bodily, as food, drink, and clothing / spiritually, as good thoughts, good words, and good deeds. And to them that are good, he grants a shield of his grace and mind of his passion to keep them from the devil. And to them that are wicked and entangled in sin, he gives space and time to turn from it and amend if they will. For this he says of himself:\n\nNolo mori poenitentis sed magis ut converterem et vivam. This is to say, I will not the death of the penitent man but that he turn and live.\nAnd there he grants mercy and forgiveness if they ask. The goodness he will do to us if we dwell and abide still in his service, that is in good virtues, will be in hearing, seeing, speaking, going, handling, and in all other deeds working. In the time of death when body and soul shall part away from each other and the devil appears in his own likeness before us to make us afraid, and if he may bring us into misery, God would send his own angel and all our good deeds that we ever worked written to show us and comfort us, and drive away the devil, and lead our souls to bliss. The bliss our Lord grants and gives to all his chosen and true servants when he says, \"Blessed are the meek, the inheritors of the earth.\"\nPenauce shall be Keruer you right well can make many good meetings, suffering many bitter sorrows for sin to make the soul merry and glad with God, who before was the measure over all, none having too much or too little, neither of eating, drinking, nor sleeping.\n\nSobriety must necessarily read at the board the life of holy fathers, what life they lived here on earth, to take of them an example to do as they did, and thereby to win the reward that they have.\n\nPity must be the pater, who does that good, that she may.\nMercy must be more generous than she gives to all, and nothing can hold to herself. The lady Drede Porter, who keeps the cloister of the heart that chases away all wicked vices and calls in good virtues, and closes the gates of the cloister so that none evil comes into the heart, into the eyes, the mouth, or into other places by the five wits.\n\nHonesty is mistress to teach manners, how they shall have them in their deeds, both to God and to man.\n\nCourtesy is Hostler to call in noble gifts, and Simplicity shall be her fellow, so that she is not too liberal.\n\nReason shall be Pursuer that there be no default.\n\nBounty shall be Firmer, you seek men to serve. Her fellow shall be Largesse to give to every one that he needs.\n\nMeditation is Garnetor for gathering corn together that men have their sustenance.\n\nMeditation is thought in God, of his works, of his words, and of his creatures, and of his pains that he loved us with. For often a good thought is better than many indecipherable prayers.\nThe holy bishop Denys speaks of this and says: When the heart is seized by the love of God, one cannot say the word one thinks in one's heart. The gardener is above the cellar. Meditate over deacon Meditaton, gardener and cellarer, and pity shall be pardoned.\nThe prophet David speaks of this and says: \"From the fruitful vine and the multiplied oil, God grants these things to his chosen ones. Serve me, he says, and I will give you an abundance of wheat, of wine, and of oil. An abundance of wheat is to be thought of inwardly and of Christ Ihu who died on the cross, that is, meditation. An abundance of wine is a well of tears, for good weeping is a sign of a good deacon. An abundance of oil gives savory to food and light also to the feet. Just as when men heartily beseech God for mercy, he sends them a ghostly joy.\nThe oil of comfort and mercy is in meditation, where to think on the cross of Christ Ihu. In deep contemplation, he gives wine, which is the well of tears of eternity, and after it, wine of tears of sweetness. Our Lord Jesus Christ sends them the oil of comfort and mercy, which gives the light of and shows his heavenly preciousness, which he hides from men who are full of fleshly lusts. They give all to worldly wisdom in various degrees, which is truly great folly. For the apostle Paul says, \"Let us put on the wisdom which is from above, and let us not be foolish in the things which are from the world, but be renewed in the spirit of our mind.\" (Ephesians 4:23) That is, much to say, the wisdom of this world is folly before God.\nThere are those who strive and labor to be held wise in this world, not for the worship of God, but for great respect for themselves and for their lustful living, partaking of it as necessary. Such individuals are rightly called foolish and wretched, as the apostle teaches. And to his true servants, he gives the light of love, that they may taste and feel how sweet and good he is. But he does not give it all fully, I believe, for no man may fully feel it. It is for loving and joy that his heart should burst. Augustine, the doctor, gives an example of a holy priest and says, \"When he heard any mention of God, it pleased him so much that he should be roused to such joy that he would fall and lie still as if he were dead. And though any man in that time cast fire on his flesh, he felt it no more than if he had been dead.\" Job speaks of this and says, \"Abscondit lumen in manibus.\" (Hide the light in my hands.)\nThat is to say, God holds light in his hands, as he has a candle between his two hands, he may show it or hide it as he will. So does our Lord Jesus Christ to his chosen men. His hands he opens when he wills and delights them with heavenly light. And whomever he wills, he closes his hands and draws his comfort, for he wills not that they feel it fully, but gives them leave to taste, and in part to feel how good he is, how sweet he is, as David says in Psalm 45:2: \"Taste and see that the Lord is sweet.\" And if God spoke to us in this way, through this likeness that you have in this short time of me, you may taste how sweet I am to my chosen in my bliss when they pass beyond. And thus he draws us from the lust of fleshly and worldly love to fan our hearts with love longing to have that joy in body and soul with him without end.\nA wise lady, eager both night and day to fulfill our lord's will, shall keep our horology to wake these ladies and cause them to rise swiftly to say our lord's service. This horology of contemplation is to God's love longing, which strikes sooner than any other in the heart of Christ's lovers who nourish their soul with good prayers and wash it with sweet tears and wipe it with ghostly comfort, as Solomon tells and teaches us.\n\nEgo dormio et cor meum vigilat. I sleep, he says, my flesh may slumber, but my heart is waking all in love and longing for God.\n\nWhen this abbey was well established and God was served there, a tyrant came and with great power put in his four daughters, who were all of shrewed manners. The first daughter was pride, the second was envy, the third was false deceit, the fourth was fleshly lust.\nThese four women, by the devil's counsel, came to disturb this abbey night and day in soul, causing them worse rest. When Charite saw this mischief and other ladies of the house, they rang their chapel bell and took counsel of this matter. And then Discrection said, \"let us pray the Holy Ghost to come and help us with his grace.\" And then they knelt down and sang.\n\nCome, Creator Spirit,\n\nThen, as it is said before, our Lord Jesus Christ came into his house and restored it better than it had ever been before. To his glory and worship it lies without end.\n\nMemory: on the third day, placement and so forth.\n\nWe may understand that there was a false priest, named Satan, who was once a priest of the order of angels in the bliss of heaven. He fell from his blessed order into the sorrowful hour of the pain of hell for pride.\nHe had so great envy for this abbey of the Holy Ghost, as it was well with God and had great lordship. He devised how he might destroy this noble house, and how he might make the noble community of virtues depart from their order, as he had departed from his. He came in the likeness of an adder to the abbey gate to enter, and the porter, who was called Drede, was not there. For without doubt, if Drede had been there, the fiend would not have entered. And Eve saw him, and as a great fool she let him come in. Then the fiend said to her, \"Why did God forbid you not to eat of the fruit that grows on the tree that stands in the midst of paradise?\" Then Eve said, \"If we eat of it, we shall die.\" \"Nay,\" he said.\nGod knows if you eat there, you shall be as known to God, good and evil, but He would not want you to be so wise, and therefore He forbade you to eat of it, the fruit. Eve heard she should be so wise, was both covetous and lustful, and saw the fruits delightful to the mouth, went to the tree and took and ate of it, and gave Adam another piece and he ate of it. And in the meantime, Adam and his wife ate of the fruit. The false traitor, which were his three knights - Pride, Covetousness, and Vanity - went into this abbey of the Holy Ghost and carried away all the good that was there and carried away the charter that God gave them to hold in place, and therefore Adam and his wife, nor their heirs from that day forth unto this day, had neither the right to challenge lordship of the bliss of heaven, but only by God's mercy.\nAnd not only did these false thieves break the abbey, but they also carried away the gods - that is, they drew away disputably out of the abbey all the noble company of virtues. It was 405 years and 34 after they might come together again as perfectly as they were before.\n\nWhen Adam and his wife had eaten of the fruit, they beheld each other and then perceived for the first time that they were both robbed and naked and were ashamed of themselves. They then went and took leaves from fig trees to cover their privates, for they had no other clothes. Then they went to one who was the thief besides, named Witte, and asked him where that holy convent was. Witte said that their abbey was destroyed and all the convent was scattered because of your folly and because of your wife's. For while you and your wife ate of the fruit, the abbey was destroyed by four false thieves.\nThen all you convened broke their order and ran away, saying as they went that they would no more come together again as they were first, three and a half M. years and more. Then Adam and his wife said, \"Alas, what shall we do? We have no clothes to cover ourselves nor a house to dwell in, and to this the convent of holy virtues, our best friends, has forsaken us and gone away. You have heard this while we have eaten the fruit.\" Soon after they heard how God spoke to them as He went in the midst of paradise, and they were ashamed of themselves, for they were naked. God came by them and saw them, and said, \"Adam, where are you?\" God said, \"Adam, I heard your voices in paradise, and I was ashamed, for I was naked. Therefore I hid myself.\" Adam said, \"Our Lord, who told you that you were naked? Other than that, you have eaten of the fruit against my forbidding.\"\nAdam said the Lord, who had destroyed the abbey of the Holy Ghost, and carried away all the good that was there. Where is the abbess and her convent? The Lord said to Adam that the woman you gave to me as my wife brought in a false seductress at the abbey gate. She ate of that fruit and gave me the other one. I would not displease her, but I ate it too. In the meantime, that false chief, with many of his followers, went into the abbey and broke it down, carrying away all the good that was in it and leading away the entire noble convent. I don't know where. Then God said to Eve, \"Why do you let this false thief in, and why did you eat of the fruit?\" Eve replied, \"Lord, he came to me in the form of a serpent and deceived me with false words, and I let him in and did as he commanded.\" Then God said to her:\nFor thou let him in and did as he desired, and you shall bear your child with great pain, and all women who come after you will take one. And if you had not done so, woman would not have had pain in childbirth. And to you it shall be everlasting servitude. God then said to Adam. For you ate of that fruit at your wife's bidding against my forbidding, and for you allowed the abbey of the holy ghost to be so foul destroyed, and let the abbess and her convent to run away from their order, and you do not know whether this shall be your punishment. Thou shalt be driven out of paradise into the earth cursed for thy sin. Therein thou shalt dwell with much sorrow and woe all the days of thy life, and the earth shall bring forth thorns and thistles. And thou shalt eat grass that groweth on the earth. In the presence and sweetness of thy face thou shalt eat thy bread till thou turn again unto the earth that thou camest from.\nFor of the earth you were made, and to the earth you shall return again.\n\nAfter our Lord commanded an angel to drive Adam and his wife out of the bliss of Paradise into the wretched world. He had him go and seek the abbess of the abbey of the Holy Ghost. And he said that neither he nor his wife nor any of their descendants should come again into the bliss of Paradise or heaven until they had made amends for the offense of the Holy Ghost as well as it was before. Also until they had brought back the abbess with them and all the nuns in as good a state as they were or they went away.\n\nThen God made a coat of leather for Adam, and another for Eve, and put them out of Paradise. And thus they went forth into this wretched world with much sorrow and care. They lived then in this world with much weeping and sorrow for nine hundred years and thirty. And they sought the abbess and her nuns who had been taken away.\nAdam longed to rebuild the abbey of the Holy Ghost, but he could not find the means to do so during that long period of time. In the meantime, he fell sick with sorrow over this and both he and his wife died. Their souls, along with all those who had come under their care during the past 4.5 million years, went to hell. Adam and his wife remained in hell for many years in sorrow and care until Almighty God had pity on their souls and sent down His only son. He instructed him to go and seek the abbess of the abbey of the Holy Ghost and her convent. God knew where they were better than Adam did. The son came down into this world and searched for them earnestly for 29 years. At last, he found them beginning their journey on the rood.\nAnd take them down and led them with him to hell and spoke to Adam and his wife. When Adam saw them come, he was full glad, and no wonder was. Then Christ's son of heaven made the abbey of the Holy Ghost better than it ever was and took Adam and his wife out of hell and led them again home into paradise. And there was much joy made at their coming home. But how and in what manner Christ found the abbess and her convent, we may learn.\n\nAfter the time that Adam and his wife were departed from this transitory life and put in the prison of hell, many wise and famous men came into the world \u2013 patriarchs and prophets, and other good men \u2013 many who had much sorrow for the abbey of the Holy Ghost and for all the convent because they were gone away. They went about and sought for them in many distant countries as long as they lived. But under them all, they found them not. Then among other men came four good men: David, Solomon, and Isaiah.\nI and Jeremiah were about to make this abbey anew and to seek out the convent. And since they could not have their way, they made much sorrow. And David said, \"I have traveled and cried after them so much that my cheeks ache and my hours have grown weary. Lord, incline Thy heavens and come down. Therefore, Lord, he said, bow down Thy heads and come down and help me seek the abbess and her convent, for I may not find them. Then Solomon said, \"I shall go about the city by ways and by streets and seek the abbess and her convent whom my heart loves. I sought them but I found them not. I cried but none of them answered with a word. Then I said, \"Morning, sweet one, turn again to us and let us look upon thee. Thou hast moved my heart, my fair sister, my fair spouse, thou hast moved my heart with the twinkling of thine eyes.\"\nI have sought by night the one whom my soul loves. I have sought with all my might and cannot find them. Then he said to the other maidens who dwelt there, \"Speak specifically, maidens of Jerusalem, if you find anything where the abbess is of the Abbey of the Holy Ghost and her convent, tell them that I am sick with longing for them. Thus King Solomon made much moon and then he said, \"Lord God send down from Your holy heavens Your dear son, that he may be with me and travel with me, and help me to rebuild the Abbey of the Holy Ghost to as good a point as it should be. But even though he could cry, God's son came not yet then.\n\nThen went Isaiah the prophet and sought the abbess of her convent many days and long, but he found them not. Then he said, \"Break open the heavens and come down and help us to rebuild the Abbey of the Holy Ghost, and find up the convent that has gone away.\nThen Jeremiah the prophet went and sought them, but he could not find them. Therefore, he made a lamentation and said, \"Woe is me, wretched am I! It has increased my sorrow, that God has added more sorrow to my sorrow. I have labored without rest, in signing and sorrowing, and I may not find it that I seek. He has driven away the maidens into the earth, and defiled their kingdom. The maidens have been carried away into wretchedness. They heard me well how I sighed and made much lamentation, but none of them would comfort me with a word. Therefore, I have wept for sorrow so much that my eyes are in danger of falling.\" Who will give me water for my head, and who will give me a well of tears for my eyes?\nAnd who shall weep for the maidens that are thus gone away both day and night? Thou noble abbess he says, to whom may I liken thee? To whom may I assemble thee? Daughter of Ihrlm the wise prioress, he says. How may I comfort thee? I can only say, says Jeremiah, but the fairest flower of our land is fallen away. Alas, alas, and wellaway, it ever were since, we did sin, when God Almighty heard these prophets and many other good men weep with heavy cheer for the destruction of the abbey of the Holy Ghost. He had great pity for them, and therefore, man's soul was in prison and in pain of hell, and should have been there without end. He ordained a course of the holy Trinity in the bliss of heaven, of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, and said,\nWe made the monk's soul our likeness and took him to recognize in his own conscience the abbey of the Holy Ghost. But through his own foolishness, he allowed all the good that was there to be taken away, and the abbess and her nuns fled from their order. Therefore, he was taken and put into the prison of hell, and he has been there for over 1,000 years and more. It is a great pity. Therefore, it would be a good deed to persuade the abbess and her nuns to return to their order and rebuild the abbey of the Holy Ghost as it once was, and to deliver the monk's soul from the sorrowful prison. He has been there for a long time; have pity on him. He is like one of us. All the Holy Trinity granted it should be so, but it was asked who should perform the deed. It was necessary that he be such a one who was holy to do it, and also that he might do it. But no one was bound to deliver the monk's soul except man. No thing could deliver him except only God.\nTherefore he who should do that deed must be both God and man, and so nothing could be but one of the three persons of the Trinity. Therefore they ordained that the second person, who is almighty God's son, should come into this world and become man, and regain the abbey of the Holy Ghost, and die for love of man on the rood tree, and so deliver man's soul from the pain of hell. Then there were four daughters of almighty God, who are Mercy, Truth, Righteousness, and Peace, which heard it told that man's soul should be delivered from hell's pain, and they all came together before God Almighty. Then Truth said to her Father, Almighty God: \"Lord, I say, you have loved me well, who am your daughter Truth. I pray, do not forsake me. You said that when man eats of your fruit, he should die and go to hell. Therefore, if you deliver man from thence, you destroy me, and that would be no reason. For God's truth lasts without end.\" Then Mercy said: \"O Father, have mercy.\"\nFather of mercy and God of all comfort, you comfort all things in anger and in sorrow, have mercy on the soul of the man who lies in hell and bring him into bliss. For you said you would keep mercy for him without end. Therefore you are true, you will have mercy on the soul of the man. Then Righteousness spoke. Nay, nay, it may not be so. \"Quia justus et iustitiam dilexit.\" The Lord spoke, \"You are righteous and love righteousness; therefore you will not save the soul righteously. For it is right and just that he should have it, for he has forsaken God who brought him forth and has forgotten his Lord who made him from nothing. Therefore it is just that you have neither pity nor mercy for him, for your righteousness will endure to the end of the world. Then Mercy spoke to Righteousness. Sister, be still and do not say so, for it would not be right, you know well that God should forsake me.\nFor the mercy of God is above all His works, and the mercy of God was without beginning and shall be without ending. Therefore, if God forsook me, He should forsake both my sister and the third, for it was not right nor true. Therefore she said to save us all three, God shall have of man's soul both mercy and pity.\n\nThen said Peace to her third sister. Peace surpasses all understanding. The peace of God passes all understanding, though it be so she said it is truth. Why should not man's soul be saved, and righteousness also another? Nevertheless, I think it is mercy that says best, for otherwise God would forsake you all three, righteousness, mercy, and truth. And I think that would be great ruth.\nAnd not only should he forsake you three, but also me. For as long as a soul is in hell, there will be discord among you three. Righteousness and Truth will want to have him there still, and Mercy will want to have him out, so that peace among you will be forsaken. If man were still in hell, there should be discord between God and man, between angel and man, and between man and man. Therefore, Peas said, do you after my counsel, and pray God in heaven that he will make peace and accord between you three, between God and man, between angel and man, and between man and man, and order such a way that he may keep us all four sisters. All thought she spoke best, and all prayed God that he would do so.\nAnd then he said, \"I think of peace and not of wickedness, and I shall keep you all in style. I shall find the abundance of the abbey of the Holy Ghost and restore it, along with the convent, better than it was before. When these sisters heard this, they were glad and joyful. Mercy and truth met them righteousness and peace kissed and became one. Then Almighty God the Father sent down His own Son into this world to seek the abundance of the abbey of the Holy Ghost and its holy convent, that is to say, charity and other noble virtues. And on the first day that He came, He found a lady of that holy abbey, called Clarence.\"\nFor he was conceived without the knowledge of any man through the virtue and operation of the Holy Ghost, and born of a pure, clean maiden and virgin who had never been defiled with sin.\n\nThus, he found cleansiness when he was in his mother's womb, being incarnate as a man by that pure virgin. And that noble lady he kept with him there for thirty-nine weeks. Then, he was born of his mother in an old, broken house at Bethlehem's end, and laid on a manger on a low height. And there, he found another lady in attendance, and it was Power. For his blessed mother had no other sheets to wind him in but took a swaddling cloth of her head, and cut an old rag, and made clothes out of it, and wound our blessed Lord in them for cold. And laid him on a manger before an ox and an ass. These two ladies, Power and Cleanness, he led forth with him until he was twelve years old.\n\nThen, he went forth with Joseph and his mother to Jerusalem to offer there on an Easter day.\nAnd they had offered and were going home again, our Lord Jesus stayed at Jerusalem for three days, and went into the temple among the masters of the law. There he found two ladies of the holy abbey, Wisdom and Righteousness.\n\nWhen Mary and Joseph came home and did not know where Jesus was, they made much sorrow for the sweet child and went again to Jerusalem to seek him. Then they found him in the temple sitting among doctors disputing of the law. Then his mother said to him, \"Son, what have you done? Your father and I have sought you for much sorrow.\" Then Jesus said, \"How is it that you sought me? Did you not know that I must be about my Father's business? He sent me into this country to seek the abbess and the convent of the Holy Ghost. And therefore I went among you masters in the temple, and there I found two ladies of the convent\"\nRighteousness and Wisdom, and so Joseph and his mother went into Nazareth, and there he found another woman named Buxus. For he, who is the highest lord, was lowest in her esteem, and he was very amorous towards his mother. Then he went forth for eighteen and a half years, and every day at his table he found two women from that holy abbey, and their names were Temporance and Sobriety. He led them with him to deserts to seek more of her sisters. And there he found two women, one named Penance and her companion Strength. He found penance enough for he fasted forty days and forty nights for the love of man's soul without food and drink, and then he began to hunger.\n\nThen the devil came to him, as he came to Eve in paradise into the abbey of the Holy Ghost, and he wanted to overcome him with gluttony, as he did her, and led him to a heap of stones, and told him if he were God's son he should make the stones love, and eat of them enough.\nThen he found strength there, through which he withstood mightily the temptation of the devil and said, \"A man lives not only by bread but by every word of God's mouth. Then the devil took him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, intending to overcome him with pride and vanity. He said, \"If thou art God's son, command that the stones be turned to bread and harm none. And all men will praise thee and say that thou hast done a great deed.\" Then he withstood his temptation with the virtue of the lady Strength and said, \"Thou shalt not test the Lord thy God, as one who says it is no need that I command the stones to be turned to bread. I may go down another way.\" Then he led him to a high hill and showed him all the riches of the world, intending to overcome him with covetousness and said, \"I will give it all to thee if thou wilt kneel down and worship me.\" And there he withstood mightily with the lady Strength and said, \"Go thy way, Satan, and depart to hell.\"\nMen shall worship all-mighty God and serve him only, and nothing else. Then the fiend was ashamed of himself that he was so overcome by the lady Strength.\n\nThus went Ihus into the land of Galilee, and there he found two other ladies of that holy abbey, one named Synthe and the other Predicant. For Christ first preached there and said to the people of the country, \"Repent and confess, and believe in the gospel.\"\n\nThen he went forth to the seashore, and there he found Peter and Andrew his brother casting their nets into the sea to catch fish. And Christ said to them, \"Come and follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.\" And they left their boat still in the sea and went forth with Christ.\n\nSo they went a little farther and found John and James his brother in another boat drawing their nets with Zebedee their father, for they were fishermen also.\nAnd they followed Christ, and left their father and all that they had in the boat and went with Him. One day as they journeyed by the way, Peter said to Christ, \"What shall we have, we who have forsaken all that we had and followed you in poverty?\" Then Christ found another lady of the holy abbey called Laurence. Christ said to her, \"You have forsaken all that you had and followed me; therefore, you shall have a hundredfold, and life everlasting.\" One day he came forth from the mount of Olivet into the temple of Jeremiah to preach there. While he was preaching, the Saracens brought a woman taken in adultery to Him and said, \"Master, this woman is now taken in adultery; what shall we do with her? Moses commands in our law that we should stone such to death.\"\nCryst knew they falsely stopped him and wrote on the ground with his finger all their sins, so that each of them might see how sinful the other was. Then he said to them, \"Since it is your law that this woman shall be stoned to death, then he among you who is without sin, cast the first stone at her.\" Then all of them were ashamed of themselves and went out one by one through the door, leaving Christ alone with the woman. Then two ladies came to him from the abbey of the Holy Ghost, named Mercy and Pity. Then Christ said to the woman, \"Woman, where are your enemies? Has any man condemned you to death? Woman replied, \"No man,\" and I will not say it, our Lord will not condemn you.\" Farewell, he said, and be in sin no more. There was great mercy and pity, for the greatest transgression she had committed was against herself.\n\nAfterward, on a day, the Saracens sent their disciples to Christ to seize him with words.\nThey asked him if they might give tribute to the tempters by God's law. Christ knew their malice well and said, \"You hypocrites, what need is it to tempt me? Let me see a penny of your money, and they showed him one. Then Christ said, \"Whose coin is this?\" They said, \"The tempters'.\" Then he found a lady of the convent called Reason and said, \"Give to the tempters what belongs to them, and what belongs to God, and that is reason.\"\n\nOne day as Christ went by the way alone, he remembered his soul and the abbey of the Holy Ghost. Then he found another lady of the same house, who was called Jealousy.\n\nHe took his disciples quietly and went towards Jericho and said to them, \"I have been about thirty-two years and more helping my soul and keeping the abbess and the convent of the Holy Ghost, and I have found among them sixteen.\"\nAnd now I will go to Jericho and be buried, betted, hanged, and drawn, and I shall die for love of man's soul, to find up the other part of the holy court. This was a great joy and a great love. Then they went forth to Jericho to gather, and on a time as they were at their supper together, Christ found two ladies of the abbey, called Courtesy and Honesty. Christ fed there at supper his disciples with his own flesh and blood. When he had done this, he kissed their feet and wiped them. At this office were four ladies: Courtesy and Buxomness, Honesty and Mercy.\nAfterward he went with his disciples into a little town that was called Gethsemane, and there he took three of his men: Peter, James, and John, and bade all the others stay there still till they came again. As they went, our Lord began to quake and tremble, and then he said to them, \"Here I have found another lady of the holy court, who is called Fear. I have said much more fear should be shown to her. I shall die.\"\nSit down he said and wake you, and bid your prayers till I come again to you. Then he went forth from them as far as it were a stone's cast, and there he found other two ladies. Meditation and Orison. He pondered on a man's soul that it should be lost without end, but if he died therefore, and how he should die, and so be hard nailed to the rood tree, and he was in a great agony, as no wonder was. And for fear of death he sweated drops of blood that fell down in the ground as drops fall from an house eaves after rain. Then he prayed to his father and said, Father, if it may be, let me not die thus dispirited; yet he said, Thy will be done, not mine. Then he came again to his disciples and found them sleeping, and then he said to Peter, Can you not one hour watch with me? Wake you, he said, and pray that you fall not into temptation. Then he went again and found Orison and her sister Devocion, and said, My father, since it seems it may none other be but that I must necessarily suffer death, be it as you will.\nThen he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping, as he had before. He went again at the third hour and prayed, as he had done first, and found other ladies of the holy abbey Contemplation Dalyance and Iubylancon. Then an angel came from heaven to comfort him and told him how a soul would be delivered from hell by the third day and how by that time he would find the entire convent of the abbey of the Holy Ghost and all their place made up again better than ever it was. Then he was merry and glad in his soul though he was somewhat afraid of his death by his humanity.\n\nThen he returned to his disciples and bade them rise and go with him. And as they walked a little way, they saw more people coming with lanterns and drawn swords and statues to take the Lord. Judas Iscariot went before them all and came to Christ and kissed him. And Christ said to him, \"Friend, you will betray God with a kiss.\"\n\nThen the Jews took Christ and treated him harshly.\nThere he found another lady named Pacyence. Peter saw that and drew his sword, striking down a boy who was one of the bishops men. Then Christ said to Peter, \"Put up thy sword again. Dost thou not think that I could pray to my father if I wished, and he would send me more than twelve legions of angels? All this I will endure for love of man's soul.\"\n\nThen the false Jewes led forth Jesus Christ to Caiaphas the bishop. His disciples saw that and ran away, each one leaving him alone.\n\nThen many wicked men came and brought accusations to Caiaphas against our Lord. Then Caiaphas said to our Lord, \"What answer wilt thou give to these accusations and transgressions that these men bring against thee?\"\n\nChrist found there another lady named Simpleness. For he answered not a word to him.\n\nThen Caiaphas asked him where he had preached and what he had taught. Then said Jesus, \"What questionest thou me?\"\nInquire of them who heard me speak to them. The Jews took our Lord Ihu and stripped him, binding him to a pillar of stone. They made scourges with knots of lead and sharp pricks in their ends, and with them scourged his precious body until it ran with blood. Then they put a long and sharp thorn crown on his head and pressed it hard against his scalp, fearing to touch it with their fingers. They took a reed in his hand and knelt down, mockingly saying, \"Hail, king of the Jews.\" When they had done this, they stripped off his silk robe, and since it clung tightly to his body, they pulled away much of the skin and flesh along with it. When they saw that the soldiers were pleased and mocked him and spat on him, they found another woman of the temple named Veronica.\nThough the false Ives made Christ carry his own cross on his back towards the mount of Calvary, until he was on the verge of collapsing from weakness. When they saw that, they would not let him die until he had been hanged for great malice and hatred towards him. They made another man carry the cross until they reached the place where Christ should be nailed. And truly, his mother, Veronica, went with him. Do you not think that his mother had more sorrow when she saw her son go towards his death? It was a pitiful sight, who would have seen it.\n\nWhen they came to Calvary, they laid down the cross and placed our Lord alone on it. They marked and made holes where his hands and feet were to be nailed. Then they took a rough, bloody nail and drove it through his hand to the cross.\nAnd for any reason all his body was drawn towards/ they would not nail his other hand to the cross/ and it was too short for the hole they had made by half a foot and more/ and yet they would not make new holes/ but took ropes and tied to his hand/ and drew it until it was even with the hole. And in the drawing all the joints of his arms broke apart. When they would have nailed his feet to the cross, all his body was so shrunk up together due to pain that it was too short for the hole they had made by a large foot. Then they took ropes and tied to his feet/ and drew him down hard and low until they were even. They broke in the drawing all the joints of his legs and feet also. Then they took some other rough, jagged nail and drove it through both his feet with a hammer/ and while he was thus nailed on the cross/ came many ladies of the holy abbey of Portucense, Buxtunes, Penance, Symplices, and Mekenes/ to see how he died.\nThen he said to them, \"If you had your absence, then you would have each one. When the Jews had nailed him on the cross, as men do cloth a tenant, they lifted up the cross from the ground to set it firmly in the mortuary. And in their great envious malice, the cursed Jews lifted it up as high as they could with human strength and let it fall suddenly into the mortuary. In the falling, all the sinews of his body, all the veins, and all the joints broke every one. I suppose there was enough pain.\n\nThe Lady Poverty was there, ready; for he had hung all naked as he was born of his mother on the cross for man's soul. And while he held her there with his bloody wounds all torn and rent, he found the abbess of the abbey of the Holy Ghost, called Charity, who said, \"Greater love than this no one has, than to lay down one's life for one's friends.\"\nMore love and charity no man has than to give his life for his friends, as Christ did for the soul of man. When Christ had found the holy abbess Charity and all her convent, he was full glad in his heart, all though he felt much woe of bodily pain outside. Then he asked for a drink to make merry with all these ladies. And welcomed them and said, \"I thirst.\" Then the false Jews made to him a drink of gall and wormwood tempered together with myrrh, and put it to his mouth on a sponge. When our Lord had smelled the taste of it, he would no more of it but he said, \"It is finished. That is to say, I have done all my Father's commandments that he gave me on earth. For I have found the abbess and all the convent of the abbey of the Holy Ghost, and made it again better than it ever was. Now I will go to Adam and to my friends and deliver them out of hell, and lead them again to the bliss of paradise, that shall never cease.\"\nWhen he had said this, he gave up the ghost and died on the cross, hanging there trembling and rent, scarcely retaining any life between two thieves for great love he had to save his soul. Ghostly in his godhead, he went down to hell and took out Adam and Eve, Abel and Seth, and others. Abraham, Jacob and Isaac, Joseph, Moses, and King David. Patriarchs and prophets, and all his friends he took with him and led them with the abbess and the company of the Holy Ghost to the bliss of heaven. And there Almighty God commanded that his four daughters, Mercy and Truth, Righteousness and Peace, should dwell in the abbey of the Holy Ghost. And then he commanded himself that Mercy and Truth should be the charities' chaplains and go about with her whyther she went. He also commanded that Righteousness should be with Wisdom, for she was the prioress, and Peace with Mekenesse, who was the treasurer. He ordained that these three ladies should have their chaplains, for they were most worthy.\nThen he said he would keep fair and well these holy virtues in this world through holy meditation, good conversation, and noble temple-building. Much joy and mirth he would find in body and soul. And afterward, when he is dead, he shall have to his reward the kingdom of heaven, which is greater joy and bliss than any eye can see or ever hear or tell or think. Almighty God, for His great mercy, give us grace and succor to keep fair and well this abbey, which is our conscience, and all the whole convent, that we may come to the bliss that God bought for us. Amen.\n\nNow, friends and brethren in Christ, who live Christianly, keep well your abbess Charyte in heart, and all these other noble virtues mentioned before. And if it should happen that any limb of the devil, bodily or spiritually, is about taking from you this lady Charyte, ring your chaplain's bell.\nAnd call you to your counsel Reason and Discretion. Patience and Peace. Go forth to Orison, and cry in soul to the holy ghost, And in wardly pray him that he come and defend charity. That he through his gracious help keep you from evil chance And he that made us all with blessing us endow.

{"content": "This book is called the book of hymns. It is a hymn to God with a song. Note that there were four main authors who composed hymns. Namely, Gregory, Prudentius, Ambrose, and Sedulius. But a wise man named Hilarius, seeing them compose so many hymns, deemed it fitting. He collected some of them and composed a brief and useful treatise in which all the hymns are contained. The author's initial intention was to describe those who are sung on the first day and so on in order. The greatest benefit of this book is that by reading and understanding it, we can gain knowledge of unity, trinity, and the all-powerful God. It is assumed theoretically, that is, in divine contemplation. But since he mentioned the term \"feria,\" let us find out what it is. For \"feria\" are solar days. Blessed is the one who interprets Sabbath rest, and we rest throughout the entire hebdomada.\nIn the entire span of our life (which runs through the space of seven days), we should labor with utmost effort and diligence, so that we may receive the self-same light and ask God in them, as the sun illuminates its body with its clarity and splendor. So may the Holy Spirit enlighten us with its grace in our minds. Amen.\n\nIn the coming of the Lord, O eternal light of the stars, / O Christ, redeemer of all, hear the supplications of the faithful.\n\nThe material of this hymn is about the coming of Christ and his incarnation, descending from heaven, emptying himself, taking on the form of a servant, and humbling himself. And he freed us from the arrow of the devil.\n\nHave mercy, O eternal creator, O star of stars, O eternal light, O perpetual salvation, believe in us, O Christians, O Christ, you who became man. Hear the supplications of the humble.\n\nWho, condoling with the death of mortality, saved the weak and languid, granting us a remedy.\n\nWho, condoling, saved the weak and languid, granting a remedy.\nqui est nobis dolens.

From the sword, that is, from the suggestion of the wicked enemy, the devil (who shoots the arrow).\n\nPraise, honor, virtue, glory be to God the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, in eternal worlds. Amen.\n\nAnd because God is the creator before the end of things, we ask you, as is your custom, presbyter, to keep watch\n\nThe material of this hymn is to pray to God at the beginning of the night. As we pray to God at the beginning of the day,\n\nLet sleep and nightly phantasms withdraw far from us, and let illusions of demons, or deceitful desires of the flesh, or nightly apparitions, withdraw.\n\nNight is divided into two parts,\n\nThe heavenly one rising from the Father, who once came forth from the world, who came to the aid of the world in its course of time.\nIste hymnus containit memoriam huius, quod Christus egressus est de utero virginali, sicut sponsus de thalamo suo.

And let us not avoid, nor restrain ourselves, but rather approach the malevolent, i.e., sins, for the quality of the crime, i.e., for the magnitude of sins.

Where it is said that Christ came once from the Father and now is. Behold, a clear voice. I. John the Baptist. He intones terribly, scolds the obscure. I. the voices of the vices or sins. And therefore, the voices. I. the empty promises. They drive away, they are removed. Far away. For Christ now beckons, I. shines.

It lies wounded, injured by vices. And it is well said that the mind rises. For the star, I. Christ, shines anew. In hope, it shines anew.\n\nHe sends forth the Lamb, loosed to forgive debts freely / we give voice with tears.\n\nThe Lamb, I. the Son of God, is sent forth. Loosed to forgive debts freely.\n\"destinatur. i.e. this list relaxes i.e. pardon, not for guilt punished, but piously protect us then. Give father and so on.\n\nBless.

And how he went forth from the Father and returned to the Father. And how he is equal to the Father. And he speaks of the Son as of the future.\"\n\n\"O Christ who are the redeemer of all people, come i.e. enlighten, in our minds i.e. appear.\"\npande nobis partum Virginis.

Christ proceeds, coming from his chamber, from the womb of the mother. And Mary herself was his bed of chastity. From the royal court of purity, and the supple one existing, Jupiter. With two natures, one of divinity and humanity. Therefore, Christ is God and man. And Jupiter, because he irreversibly and irrevocably appears to us in this world. Unleashed. The Psalmist exults, and so on. Like a swift and agile one, he runs the way. This one passes from this world to the Father.\n\nHe went forth from the Father, came back to the Father, and returned from his course to the underworld, to the seat of God.\n\nConstruct.

In this hymn, it is sung about the incarnation of God and his nativity. For the Virgin bore him, who created all things from nothing, and she did not shrink from lying in the manger. This hymn continues with the superior one. I have said that the heavens, earth, and all that is in them sing praise to God, from the rising of the sun to its setting. The whole world praises God. Alternatively, I have said that his manger now shines with new light, and that is why we sing of the nativity of the Lord from the Virgin Mary. And this is what it says:\n\nWe, Christians, sing,\nfrom the rising of the sun,\nO Reformer of senses.\nFrom the beginning of the world, or from the hinge of the sun's rising, i.e., from the east, to the limit of the earth, i.e., to the west, Christ, the prince, the king, was born, a child, generated by a god.\n\nBlessed the author puts on a servile body, to free flesh from flesh, lest he lose those he had created.\n\nBlessed the author, I say, that we should praise God. Blessed the author, the maker of the world, put on a servile body.\n\nHeavenly grace enters the womb of the chaste mother, the belly of the maiden bore secrets she did not know.\n\nThe chaste mother's womb. And truly, it puts on a servile body. For heavenly grace, that is, Christ, enters the womb, the side, of the chaste mother, Mary, and thus, the belly, the side, of the maiden, Mary, bore, carried, secrets, that is, the secrets, she did not know before conception.\n\nThe house of the pure breast becomes suddenly the temple of God, in the untouched, not knowing a man, by the word she conceived a son.\n\nAnd truly, she bore and carried the secrets she did not know. Therefore, construct thus: The house, that is, the breast, of the pure one, that is, of Mary, becomes the temple of God.\nThe text appears to be in Latin, and it seems to be a passage from the Bible or a religious text. I will translate it into modern English and remove unnecessary symbols and formatting.\n\nThe text reads:\n\n\"Suddenly, in the temple of the god, that is, the hospice, an intact [or undamaged] house, a woman, not knowing the carnal union, conceived a child by Christ through the word, which she had said to Gabriel: \"Behold, I am the servant of the Lord. Let it be done to me according to your word.\"\n\nA child was born, whom Gabriel had foretold, whom John, while his mother was in labor, had felt shut in.\n\n[Line missing] I carry [or bear] a bundle of hay in the manger, not abhorring it.

And there was land there suitable for the shepherds of that region, to keep watch over their flocks at night. Ostensibly, Herod impiously feared that Christ would come / he does not steal mortal things / he gives celestial kingdoms.\n\nMatter of this hymn. It is a cry we make against Herod, who, upon hearing of Christ's Nativity, feared to lose his rule. Therefore, he killed many boys. Thinking even to kill Christ himself.\n\nAuthor's intention is to treat of the three great miracles that were done on the day of Epiphany. Firstly, of the three magi appearing to the superior one, as I have said, Christ was born and laid in a manger. Herod, in his madness, killed many boys. He feared losing his rule. But foolishly, he who is king and Lord of lords did not come to take away his rule but to save the whole world from such great sins, and he himself will not steal mortal things. Kingdoms.\nIbant magi, quae videre stellarum sequentes, requirerunt lumen, deum fatentur munere: I, the magi, were kings who went to inquire about and adore the new-seen star, its preceding one, and required its light, the Christ child, with the star and confessed God a gift, gold, frankincense, and myrrh.\n\nCelestis agnus attigit baptismis puris gurgitis: The celestial lamb touched the pure waters of the Jordan and took away from us, cleansing us with baptism, our sins and crimes, which it did not bear, but itself was innocent of all sin, both actual and original.\n\nNouum genus potuit aque resuscitare hydriae, vinumque iussa fundere mutavit unda originem: A new kind was able to revive the jars of water, and the wine, as commanded, changed the water's origin.\nvinum unita est natura suam, quia aqua facta est vinum. A filio unigenito, qui ad nos venit per Virginem, baptisma cruce consecrans generavit omnes fidelia genera. Unigenitus, id est Christus, venit, descendit a Patre, in divinis est, ad nos homines per Virginem, Mariam, venerunt. Christus celsus prodiit, accepit formam hominis, redimens per mortem, gaudia vitae largiens.\n\nChristus, celsus, prodiit.\nO redeemer, nobis propitius et clarum lumen da fidelibus.\n\nO redeemer, nos propitius et clarum lumen da. Obscuram noctem remoue. Omne delictum ablue. Piam medicamina tribue.\n\nO Deus, Christe, mane nobiscum. Obscuram noctem remoue. Omne delictum ablue.\ni. Every fault, i.e., every sin or transgression, make amends and offer penance or remedy against sins. We knew that you, renowned one, had come among us before and we believe that you will come again. Defend your renowned scepter with your shield. Gloria.\n\nWho is the Lord whom we know, whom we have recognized, who has come and will come again? Defend us, Lord, on that day of judgment. Your renowned scepter, your glorious kingdom of the faithful Christians. Defend us with your shield, your cross.\n\nCreator and ruler of all things in heaven and earth, clothe the day with decorum, adorn it with bright sunlight, and clothe the night with the grace of sleep.\n\nThe material of this hymn is a petition to God. That we may be helped and defended by him both day and night. The first three verses are harmonious and thus the exordium is moved by the qualities of day and night.\n\nConstruct. O God, creator of all things, ruler of heaven and earth. Clothing and adorning the day with artifice, the day with bright sunlight, and the night with the grace of sleep.\n\"And thus this sentence is completed, and so the grateful showing is made in this manner. O God, creator of all and more, we sing this hymn of praise. We have solved it. i.e., grant us rest and relief from toil and weary limbs, and ease the troubled minds and fatigued animas, and remove anxieties and sorrows, as in the night God clothes us in sleep for the sake of rest. i.e., animals, wearied by labors intrinsic and extrinsic, are refreshed and revived. i.e., all anxieties and sorrows that occur in the day are laid aside and forgotten during this same rest.\"\n\n\"Graces have been performed already by day and night's dawn, we pray and sing this hymn.\"\n\n\"Here ends the preceding verse, and thus the grateful display is made in this way. O God, creator of all and more, we sing this hymn of praise.\"\nReddimus tibi. Gratias totis votis. Dies peractus ad finem productus. Iam nunc hoc feliciter transsumus. Precibus votis supplices omnibus. In exortu noctis advena, aide nos reos criminosos homines. Et breviter, ut ita custodias nos nocte futura, sicut fecisti, de quo gratias dicimus, dies praeterita.\n\nTe ima concinnant, te vox canora concrepet, te diligat castus amor, te mens adoret sobria.\n\nEt ergo ima intima cordis coinnant et laudent te, Deus.\n\nUt profundo clauserit diem caligo noctua, fides tenebras nesciat, et nox fidei lucet.\n\nUt quis profunda caligo densa obscuritas noctua clauserit et finierit dies nostros extremos, fides nesciat tenebras hereses seu pacta quibus obscuret, et nox lucet fidei ita, ut noctis usus fidei in nobis eluceat.\n\nNoli dormire mentem, nec dormire culpa noverit, castos fides refrigeret.\nEt ob hoc: O God. thou dost not allow the mind, that is, the heart, to sleep or give way to sleep. Lest your servant may fail and neglect. But the fault, the inclination or proneness to sin, may know how to sleep or rest. Faith may refresh and make us chaste. So that it may extinguish in us the harmful passions' heated desires and temper or mitigate the sweet delight of sleep and sloth, lest we be disposed unfavorably. To you we praise, O God, in tranquility.\n\nExcluded are the senses, lofty thoughts of our heart, that in their sleep do not stir up envy, deceit, fear, or fragility of the human body, to disturb the quiet and peaceful in us.\n\nThis verse makes clear the preceding one thus: The lofty thoughts of our heart are denuded and freed from the sticky sense and the immoderate concept, and they have you as their subject matter for dreaming. Lest fear, envy, the hostile enemy, or the devil, who envies peace and tranquility of the soul, disturb us.\n\"And we are urged by his suggestions. We ask Christ and the Father, and the Spirit of Christ, one God, almighty, through all things, praying the Trinity. This is a prayer to the holy Trinity. We ask Christ, the Son of God, and the Father in heaven, and the Holy Spirit, one God, existing as one, all-powerful in heaven and on earth. And we are nourished by his nourishment, and receive us as we pray. Amen.\n\nOn every day and night,\nwhether you are humbly lying down or rising up,\nmay you be freed from death and given life.\n\nThe material of this hymn is a commendation of the Lord of the day, and through it, blessed Gregory intends to remind us to honor the Lord of the day. Get up from your bed at dawn.\n\nThe Lord is a day deserving of honor and with great discretion on every day. He is first in respect to all creatures. He is also third in respect to the resurrected Lord.\"\nquia Christus resurrexit tercia die. Octavus etiam dicebat respectu octavi diei. Quia omnes debemus resurreere in octava vita eterna. Et ideo quaeramus in dominico die quo Christus resurrexit vel in die judicii qui sacratus est. Tuus bona bonis et mala malis reddent.\n\nDescendendo ergo ad literas dico dominicum diem maius esse omnibus aliis diebus. Tuus mudus fuit conditus. Et Christus resurrexit eodem die. Ergo primatum habet super omnes alios dies. Ergo maior est aliis diebus. (Per) locum a patribus aut meritis vel a positione antecedentis.\n\nConstrue. O fratres, oses surgemus in primo die diurni omnium, id est, in dominico die, ocius, id est, citius quam alis temporibus. Quos dominico die mudus extat conditus, id est, factus. Quo die conditor omnium creaturarum resurrexit a morte nos liberavit ab inferno vel a potestate diaboli.\n\nPulsis procul torporibus surgemus omnes ocius et nocte queramus pie, sicut prophetam novimus.\n\nConstrue: Surgamus dico, a nostris torporibus.\n\"Let us not only heal wounds, but let us also seek observation of commands. Two or three times in this night, as we know the prophet David desired. He himself says, \"Rise and come to my name, and all the night I will wash my bed with tears.\" In the Omelia of blessed Gregory, it is read about a man who, after having given himself over to sleep for a long time, arose before the middle of the night and prayed. He did this for a long time. Until a voice came from heaven from the Lord saying, \"Your sin is forgiven to you. Arise and do not sin again. Our prayers, that they may hear your prayers and extend their right hand to us, expiating our stains and restoring us to the seats of the blessed, let us who are at the most sacred hours of this day sing psalms with the gifts of the saints.\"\"\nIam nos postulamus te, o paterna claritas, abundanter. Libido et luxuria et mala concupiscentia, corpus nostrum infestans, et omnes noxious actus, longe absit. Anima cum corpore sordetur, cat.\n\nIn English:\n\nNow we implore you, o radiant father, abundantly. May libido, luxury, and evil desires be far removed from our bodies and actions. Let our souls remain unsullied.\n\n(Translation of the Latin text)\nNefeda sit non sordida vel lubrica corporis, per quod aterni corporis ignibus ipsi cremur acrius.\n\nIdeo te postulamus ne feda sit - i.e., sordid or languid, ad luxuriae - i.e., to the flesh, compago corporis - i.e., entangled, nostris corporibus. vel depiceamur ut caro subeat menti per quaestas copagine male vsam. creamur aia & corpore - i.e., we are burned more severely and cruelly by the fires, i.e., torments and pains, aterni - i.e., of the infernal region.

By the fact of being exiles from the flesh, we, made celibates, hasten to sing the praises of glory.\nHow exiles are we. We are pilgrims from the celestial fatherland. In the act of the flesh, that is, in operation. A stranger himself is an exile and a pilgrim, far from the fatherland. And we too should be far from the works of the flesh for this reason, so that we may see, that is, may receive oil, may expect mercy, may be made celibates, that is, heavenly, and may cease from sins. And so on.\nGrant, most merciful father and co-eternal son, by the Holy Spirit, reigning through all eternity.\nHow: O most merciful (who have taught us for a long time from the divinity), father, all-powerful (in heaven and on earth), you are Christ, reigning (with your) Holy Spirit, the consoler, through all ages, grant or give.\nWe have said this to us: Be steadfast in abstaining from vices. Let us persevere in virtues. Amen. Let the Creator of things make the day and night, who rules over time, and grant us a respite from tedium.\n\nThe material of this hymn is a commendation of the eternal Lord, who is without beginning and end. It distinguishes what is eternal from the temporal. The eternal is that which has no beginning or end, like God. The perpetual has a beginning in time but will have an end, like the world. The sempiternal has a beginning under time but will not have an end. The temporal is that which begins in time and also has an end, like our body.\n\nConstitute the eternal Creator, the one who rules, disposes, and governs the night, the sinner or the devil. And the one who rules the day, God or the just. And grants the diversities. The spaces of this life's time, grant us a respite from tedium. The wisdom of the eternal God was sufficient to lift man's aversion to the temporal, with miraculous delight, the varying delight of the variator.\nNam si semper nox esset, homo deficeret et periret. Et si semper dies esset, homo nimio laboris studio affectus periret et deficeret. Et ideo Deus misericordias nostri est, ponendo terminum noctis et dies convenientes. Et tempore tempora dedit convenientia. Et quodque annus constituit ex quattuor temporibus, scilicet ex vere, estate, autumno et hyeme, ita homo constat ex quattuor elementis: sic ex aqua, terra, aere et igne.\n\nPrayer to the day: Iam sonat, noctis profunde peruigil, noc turna lux, viantibus a nocte noctem segregans.\n\nPrayer to the day: Iohannes Baptista, vel Christus, iam sonat, nunciat diem Christo. Prayer to the night: Peruigil noctis profunde, inferni profundi, nocturna lux, Iohannes qui ante lucem surrexit, ut lucet hominibus qui erant in tenebris huius mundi. Viantibus volentibus ire ad Christum, segregans noctem a nocte, peccatum a peccatore. Quia quos vult assumit et quos vult in suo sinet errare. Prayer to the day: Ia.\nOur lord rewards his beloved ones. The day, that is, of the father, sounds out and manifests the evangelical preaching through his preachers. He himself is vigilant and knowing, recognizing deeply the guilt of the night. The nocturnal light shines for those traveling, that is, the present church that shines in the darkness of this world. And God wills that all men be saved, not separating any.\n\nExcited, Lucifer unveiled the sky, this entire error, the chorus of deceit, abandoned the way of harm and offense.\n\nExcited, that is, Lucifer, when the lord preached or John, Lucifer, the true preacher, bearing the light of divine grace to others. I say, he unveiled, that is, absolved, the sky from the darkness, and the entire chorus of errors, the army of evil, abandoned the way of harm and offense.\n\nThe sinner, stirred by Jesus, runs to the port, that is, to our lord God. Either his army or his, that is, the error's, conventicle.\ndeserit viam (He desires the way)\nHoc nauta vires colligit, ponthique mitescunt freta, hoc ipsa petra ecclesie canente culpam diluit. (This sailor gathers his strength, the seas calm down, and this very stone of the church, singing, washes away the blame.)\n\nSicut nauta, fatigatus ante magnam dolorem ex maris tempestate, tendit ad portum.

(Like a sailor, weary from great sorrow before much pain from the sea's tempest, he turns to the harbor. So that there, after gathering some strength, he may rest. Likewise, the weary Aia, tired from much labor of vices and sins, turns to the harbor. I.e., to Christ through confession, so that there she may rest, and gather her good strengths.)\n\nConstrue.

And we shall sing and applaud, that is, with both voice and heart, to your honor and glory.\n\nWe shall all arise and watch in the night, always in psalms, and with all our strength we shall sing sweet hymns to the Lord.\n\nIn this hymn, St. Gregory admonishes us, reminding us that as long as we labor in this mode, the vigil of our night, if it is devoted to God alone, will surely reach the ears of the omnipotent God.\n\"Materia huius hymni est laudatio nominis dei et decantare laudes intepto.

Ecce umbra, i.e., ignorance or obscurity, of the night of darkness, is now being drawn back, i.e., annihilated. Aurora lucis, i.e., the Son of God, rises and shines forth, splendidly illuminating.

In this hymn, it is known that God did this on the sixth day. He created man in His image, and commanded the waters above the waters. He said, \"Let us make man in our image, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.\" He placed man in the paradise of delights to work and keep it. He commanded him to ask God that he might be like God, who created man in His image above all other creatures, and that we might not become inferior to other beasts because of our sins. Why then did He create men who were to be wicked? Because the good were to be made. Or who knows the meaning of the Lord? Or who was He who alone arranged and disposed all things?

Thus, in the cross of Christ, grace for the redemption of the human race - salvation - is extended. His hands are outstretched to the cross, and his blood follows. This shows that his blood flowed throughout his entire body. I speak of his innumerable internal organs. He was fixed to the cross, with nails in his hands and feet.

And from these, we are reborn in the font and in the sacred baptism.\n\nThe wound inflicted by the spear tip on the cross: it washes away sin with blood.\n\nBehold, the mystery of the cross shines throughout in its entirety. Through the cross of Christ, we have an altar. Through his body as the host, through his blood as the wine, and through his sweat as the water, we make a singular sacrifice. Or from the immolation of the cross, it becomes an altar for him.\n\"And yet we have an altar whereby we sacrifice, on which, that is, on the patibulum (the cross was affixed). Above it, that is, above the crossbeam, the cruel point of the spear, the sharp tip of the lance, and the cruel spike, washed us clean from sin. And this, as the cross was, the Savior did.

Quiet hearts, that is, peaceful minds, are subjected to a thousand meanders, that is, various ways of deception. Meander is a metaphor for the windings of the year. Here it stands metaphorically for the oblique and indirect circuits of the devil in deceiving many. It is curved and twisted, like a serpent coiling around itself. Here, however, it metaphorically signifies the one who\n\nDepart, Christ is here. / This is Christ. / He melts here. / Show that you know this / He condemns your heart.\n\u00b6Depart, tortuous serpent, depart, flee. Recede. For Christ is here. And melts, that is, disappears (a metaphor), just as wax is said to melt in the heat of the sun), or Christ is here.

We ought to cry out. O faithful cross, you are the only noble tree. There is none among forests that bears such a tree with such protection, decoration, root, or Christ (called the flower by the prophets). Just as the flower proceeds without withering or any decay, so XP was born from the virgin's womb without any sin. The sweet wood was that which sustained the sweet nails of Christ.

The chorus says and so forth.\nNote that Hierusalem was first called Iebus, second, Iebusalem, third, Salem, fourth, Hierusalem. Through which it is signified to be of various status.\nIebus interprets \"conculcare.\" This means that Jerusalem interprets peace as the act of treading upon it. And this is what some people dwell in and delight in. Salem interprets peace. And this is what some person is returned from his ways. Jerusalem also interprets \"visquam\" as being made from various notations. Unum draco sings a new song to the Lord. Melena is forbidden in the law. No one should put honey with incense. Melena is made from various kinds of things. A man should not be diverse but uniform in good. Unum. Umu and sycera are not wine in themselves.

Because in those in good condition, life consists of labor and sorrow for eighty years or more.

Introire paradisum, that is, to enter the kingdom of heaven.\nVos chorus vatum venerandus olim spiritus canere replevit in dei factu genitrice carmine:\nIn this hymn, the Author speaks of the nativity of Christ. As a certain prophet had said, Maria concepit et peperit filium.\"\nSymeon received Esegred from the root Yesse. And Abachuc spoke similarly. In the midst of them, many other prophets announced and prophesied about the Christ. This completes the whole thing in Maria. For this was fulfilled in Mary. Conceived as a child, he was born. Baptized. Crucified. Presented in the temple. And he was taken by the just man Simeon and Anna the widow. Among these people, the Lord was present. This feast day on which this hymn is sung (hypapantos to the Lord) is called an obuation to the Lord.\n\nIt is established that this was fulfilled. In Mary, a venerated choir, an honorable congregation of prophets, was filled. Fulfilled and completed. In Mary, a venerated choir, an honorable congregation of prophets, sang and prophesied. Long ago, they did this.\n\nHeaven and earth conceived and gave birth to the Virgin, and after giving birth, she merited to remain undefiled.\n\nAnd it is truly established that the prophets sang and said, \"Blessed is the Virgin who carried the Lord, the God of heaven and earth. And Mary gave birth to the one who did this, and she carried him and merited to remain undefiled.\"\nQuem iustus et senex Symeon, annosus sacerdos, in brachijis suis et in templo Domini et in conspectu Symeon est letatus videre Christum prius luminibus suis.

Sit decus et potestas Deo nostro perpetua laus et perpetua gloria, et permanens honor Deo nostro, qui Deus in summa arce poli altitudine celi trinus in personis residet.\nAnd in substance, one in the earth, the three-ruling machine of Maria's chamber bore witness. The author in this hymn wishes to show this, that the prophets spoke of Christ in the Virgin Mary. The chamber of Maria swelled with XPM. Note that God made man from the earth's mold. And He placed him in the paradise of pleasure. And He forbade him from eating the tree (which was in the midst of paradise). But Eve, enticed by the devil, went and ate. Both of them, pleasing the devil mortally, sinned. And after committing such a great transgression, they were found naked and driven out of the earthly paradise by the Lord. Seeing that He could not redeem the human race otherwise than through a woman, God in turn descended into the womb of the Virgin, assuming human flesh. And thus we have been redeemed and freed from sin through a woman. It is also said that Maria is the star of the sea and the mother of God. And what the heaven and earth could not contain, she held in her embrace.\n\nConstruct. Chamber. It is the womb.\nmarie, the Virgin, bears him who rules and governs, the Trinity, in three forms, on earth and sea or in the souls of men.

And truly, because the girl's virgin womb is filled and carried by the Trinity, whom Christ is, the moon, the lunar variation, the sun, and all creatures have abandoned and serve temporally.\n\nBlessed is the mother whose offspring is the supreme artist: contained in the soft womb, hidden under the arch of her belly.\n\nAnd because Mary bore Christ, we can say that she is the blessed mother.\ndono filij. under whose shield the virgin's archa, that is, the womb, contains. supreme artisan, supreme creator. you contain the mud. the universal. piglet. under your power.\nBeata celi nuntio / fecunda sancto spiritu / desideratus gentibus / cuius per aluis fusus est.\nAnd because the supreme artisan is enclosed under the arch of the Virgin Mary. we can indeed say\nangelic salutation from the Trinity sent. and it was conceived. by whose womb, that is, of Mary, the second. was poured. and he, who was desired, was born. that is, from all peoples and nations.\nGloria domina exaltata super sidera / quae creasti providentia / lactasti sacro vbere.\nMateria huius hymni est, ut beata Virgo Maria peperit salvatorem nostrum.

It describes how Mary, as the \"supreme artisan\" and \"supreme creator,\" contains the \"mud\" (presumably referring to the material of creation) and is impregnated by the Holy Spirit. The hymn also praises Mary as the one who gave birth to the savior of all peoples and nations, and extols her as a glorious lady exalted above the stars. The author of the hymn addresses Mary directly in the final line.\nyou are the bride of the Lord, exalted and lifted up above the stars and all the heavens. You nursed me at your sacred breast. That which the sorrowful Eve took away from you, you restore, O generous giver, to your only son. Restore what the sorrowful Eve took away from us in paradise and was made the window of heaven, the gate of Christ.\nYou are the gate, you are the door of the high one, of Christ, and you were made a brilliant and splendid door, the gate of light, of Christ, who is the true light (illuminating every man coming into this world). O redeemed peoples, rejoice and be glad. Life given to be through the Virgin.\n\nAnd truly, you are the gate, the door, of the high one, of Christ, and you were made a brilliant and splendid door, the gate of light, of Christ.

Life given to be through the Virgin.\n\"Maria,\nUe maris stella, Dei mater alma, atque semper virgo, felix celi porta.\nMaterial of this hymn is from the salutation of the blessed Mary, the Virgin. Made by an angel speaking thus: Ave, gratia plena, tuus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, verbum tuum sanctificatum in te obumbratum est. Et solo verbo conceptus est filius qui est Dominus noster.\nIntending also to invoke the blessed Virgin Mary herself, the author, that she might mute the name Eue (through which death entered) and loosen the bonds of our sins, and bestow upon us eternal life. May she make us absolved from sins, mild and chaste.\nTaking that up, \"Ave\" you, taking up that salutation of the angelic kind, which is reported from the mouth of that angel, confirm us in peace, in eternal beatitude.

And the garlands containing these, who lived in the charity of God and neighbor, and who had the six works of mercy and chastity or charity, namely, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, giving drink to the thirsty, visiting the sick, and so forth, these garlands, that is, thirtyfold and sixtyfold, are multiplied and increased by the augmentation of denarii.\ns.

A hundredth part of a fruit gives a crown in the hundredth part. John, who is a virgin, receives the hundredth fruit and crowns one virgin. And in order to be brief, from the thirty fruit, whether in the order of the married or the continent, from the hundredth come the virgins after the dissolution of body and soul and are crowned in eternal beatitude. And note that the number thirty rises from three tens and one denier. The married have faith in the holy Trinity, and the number sixty, which comes from ten and one denier, rises in the commandments of the continent. The continent ones have six works of mercy and charity. SS. Feeding the fasting. And the virgins are placed in the last order and signify perfection.

It consists of four verses. Each verse has four feet. The first is spondeus. The second is she, of the royal line of David. The comedy god Dio or she herself, came from merits, or perished at the hands of Christ, our savior. This hymn is sung in her transition or death. How she transitioned from this mode to the kingdom of heaven, leaving behind sorrow, is uncertain. Or was she assumed, body and soul? Although it is doubtful, it is better to believe she was assumed body and soul by the Father. O royal offspring of the line of David, O Maria, you are a branch of that very tree. He himself was the oak from which branches sprang forth, and you are the branch and offspring. You will be placed at the side of him, but do not let signs mislead. You are the offspring that has a beginning elsewhere. The line is that from which a branch, like a son, proceeds. O how.\nGlorify light. I am the glorious and choir of angels, I call you, O Mary.

From this one, God became man, Christ in the body.\n\nO Mary, you exist as the supple, ever-virgin mother, remaining a virgin, you prepared the temple of your heart as an abode for the angels. And therefore, from these sacred viscera, Jesus, the God, was born, deigning to be born in a body, taking humanity from you, the virgin Mary.\n\nAll the world venerates him whom we all venerated.

Amen.\nAbove, the author makes this petition to the blessed Mary, the virgin. But here, he makes this petition to the father of light, that he may deign to grant us what was promised. O father of lights, you are the origin and creator of all brightness. Grant us these joys of light. And grant, he implores, this through your own nature, the love of your son, and the holy flame, the love of the sanctified one.

And first, about the most venerable sacrament of the Eucharist, the body of Christ.\nJoin together joyfully with solemn rejoicing / and may the prayers of the gods bring about their pleas / may old things recede and may new things be / hearts, voices, and works\n\u00b6This hymn is sung on the feast of the Body of Christ. The author exhorts us to spiritual exultation and due reverence and careful contemplation of this most venerable sacrament of the Eucharist. As it is written,\n\u00b6The figure of this sacrament preceded, for God rained manna upon the fathers in the desert who were daily fed by the bread of heaven. It is said (Exodus 16:15), \"Man ate the bread of the angels.\" But those who ate the manna died. This bread, which our legislator Christ gave and gives to us faithful ones, is alive (who came down from heaven) and ministers to us the substance of eternal life.\nIn the last supper, as Hymnographus relates, Christ instituted this charity's immense depth to imprint it on the hearts of his disciples during the Passover feast. As he was about to depart from this form of sacrament, he established the perpetual memorial of his passion. The figures of the old testament were fulfilled. The miracles and maximum wonders performed by him himself, and his absence brought great consolation to the sorrowful. In this way, the devotion of Christians is recalled and the divine power that operates such miracles in this sacrament is praised. Furthermore, the fitting actions of gratitude towards God are referred to in connection with the most wholesome and sweet sacrament's institution.\n\nRegarding the fact that (the sacrament is a sacred sign, as the four sentences state), and that it is received corporally and sacramentally, this declaration is omitted. But the construction of hymns for the unlearned scholars is committed to the discretion of the hymnographers. And they are to expound the literal meaning (saving the mystical allegory) to those who are able to process it.\n\nConstruct.\n\nJoy.\nsubaudi nostra (are our rejoicings and feasts). sint iuxta (are annexed). sacris solemnis (to sacred solemnities). in festum corporis christi (during the feast of the body of Christ). et precina (and prayers). laudes hymnorum (praises of hymns). sonent (sound). scroz venerabilisacmeeto (to the venerable acme). exprecordus (are expressed). iuxta intimas nostras cordialibus (according to our deepest feelings). vetera holocausta (old holocausts). vel saltem fermenta aut peccata (or even old offerings or sins). recedant a nobis (let them recede from us). et oia sint nova (and may new ones be). scroz a christo instituta (instituted by Christ).\n\nNoctis recolitur cena novissima (The last supper, the night before his passion, is recalled).\n\nHic Legifer noster facit cenam in ultima nocte aneius passionis (This is the Legifier who makes the last supper on the night before his passion).\n\nNouissima (the last supper). iuxta (in). qua (which). xps creditur (is believed to have been given). agnum et azimam (the lamb and the unleavened bread). sincera (sincere). fratribus (to the brethren).\ndiscipulis suis (since we are in bondage) according to the permitted legal custom of the Jews.

The word made flesh. Scrz, fact.\ni. This is the son of God, who makes the bread into his body and the wine into his blood. With this word, he consecrates this as his body and blood. And this sense perceives it not, but faith alone is firm and sufficient for this belief. To confirm this belief in a man, this is what must be confirmed by faith.\n\nWe should venerate and behold this sacrament with great reverence, and let the old document yield to this new rite.\n\n[Constue:] The body of Christ is truly bread, and his blood is truly wine. Therefore, we should behold it with humility and reverence, adoring this most sacred sacrament with our whole mind. Even the invisible form (as the four senses teach) and the ancient document should yield to the new rite, which is firmer and more correct according to the law of Christ our legislator. [If you do not know this matter, faith in Christ is firm. It provides a supplement and makes up for the lack in senses and intellect.]\nGenitori (and to the born), praise and rejoicing / health, honor, virtue, and blessing / to the one who proceeds from both, let there be laudation.\nHymnographus reports the actions of the holy Trinity, saying, \"Praise and rejoicing.

Its matter is the same as that of the preceding ones. Demonstrating how the legislator Christ, going forth from the Father (from the highest heaven), came to us in the evening of life.\nAnd he emptied himself, taking on the form of a servant, making himself our companion in human flesh. To redeem the lost, he did this through his passion. Giving us that [memorial] of his, he instituted it as his last will and testament. To reveal /\n\nConstruct. Word proceeding from above, that is, the Son of the most high God.\nIn coming and appearing to us, he did not leave, that is, he did not abandon his session and seat of his omnipotent Father. And going to his work, that is, to suffer the passion for us sinners, he came to the evening. This was the time and the last hour of this life, that is, to the nightly supper. And before being handed over to his disciples, he gave himself to them in the dish of the supper.\n\nConstrue (supple \"Christ coming to the evening supper\"): Before being handed over to his disciples, Judas, his envious Jews, handed himself over to them in a corporal way. He gave himself to them, that is, for them to eat, in the dish, that is, in the food of the supper.\n\nTo these twelve disciples, Christ gave his flesh in the bread and his blood in the wine, as a double substance, so that the whole man might be nourished.\n\nThese twelve disciples received from Christ his flesh in the bread and his blood in the wine. And they were already ordained priests to eat the whole man, that is, the double substance of humanity and divinity.\nSe nasci dedit socium, conuescens in edulium: se moriens in precio, se regnans dat in premio.\n\nSe nasci (I am born).

Amen.\n\nEternal glory be to one God in the divinity, who, in person, is the giver of life without end in the celestial homeland. Amen.\nThis text appears to be written in Old Latin, and it is a hymn about the transfiguration of our Lord Jesus Christ. The following is a cleaned version of the text:\n\nElestis formam gloriae: quam spes quaerit ecclesiae.\nThis hymn is sung about the transfiguration of our Lord Jesus Christ. Nota (that) Christ, as the evangelical scriptures show, took Peter, James, and John his brother, leading them to the lofty mountain and transfiguring himself. What privileges they had before others disciples is well-known among our sacred page teachers, for many are called, but few are chosen.\n\nHowever, Christ was transfigured in this way before them, as he will be at the time of the final judgment. He did not lose the original form of his face or the truth of his human body. But, as the evangelist says (who is John, who testifies to the truth always), his face shone like the sun.\n\nYet, the literal sense of this transfiguration of the Lord is that Moses and Elijah appeared to them, and Peter, seeing them in great brightness, said, \"Lord, it is good for us to be here.\"\nHere is the cleaned text:\n\nMake here three tabernacles. For you, one. Moses and one for him. It was also heard, the voice of the father (this is my beloved son and so on).\n\u00b6Construct. Christ indicates, that is, demonstrates (to the three disciples), the form or disposition and vision of the celestial glory, that is, the joy of paradise (because the vision and face of Christ is the consolation and kingdom of heaven), which. sczh the celestial glory shines, the hope of the church, the faith of the entire congregation of Christians. He seeks it. This is what he asks for.

Modern scholars write it differently (choose accordingly)\n\nHe did not recognize the figural image: the mind's spiritual garden growing with the seed, but he especially designated it by name.\n\n\u00b6Translate: (supply Maria Magdalena) He did not recognize. latente, that is, hidden, from Christ. figurali imagine, figura hominis ortulani, excolentem, id est, exarantem, agri mentis, cor suae memoriam, spirituali semine, id est, gratia ubi seu fidei.

On folio xxxii.\n\nBring us the joys of the year, Eata, as the orbit of the spirit of Paraclete was illuminated in the disciples.\n\nIn this hymn, the author declares, \"They appeared to the apostles, dispersed in various tongues as if they were fiery languages.\" (Appeared to the apostles in dispersed tongues like tongues of fire.)\nWithin, hearts were set aflame (believing them to rumble with the intoxication of musty wine).\nThis hymn is sung beneath the octaves of Pentecost. He, the Heptad, declaring the nature of the creatures, came suddenly among the disciples with a sound. And He changed their carnal minds into love for Him.\nOrbita, that is, the circle of the year. He brought the flame, vibrant with shining light, into being: they were two, flowing like ardent with charity.\nWith vibrant, shining grace, the Fire (which He had poured out upon the disciples) brought forth the figure, that is, the disposition. Tongue, natural, so that the disciples might flow in words, distant from one another, and be fervent and burning and warm in charity.\nHe speaks with every tongue / the multitude of gentiles fear the musty wine, those whom the spirit had filled.\nHe speaks with tongues, indeed, to the peoples, the diverse nations, the gentiles. They fear, indeed.\npauorees (qui non haberunt audivit) ide deputant, id est credunt illos fecere musto, id est humifacti novo vino. Quos sunt discipuli.

I will translate it into modern English while maintaining the original content as much as possible.\n\nThe subject of praise is set before us today. There is no ambiguity about it. It was given to the twelve tribes, that is, the twelve apostles. In the sacred feast may there be a resounding and decorative laudation of the mind. Amen.\n\nFor truly, a solemn day is being observed on which the first fruits of this institution are collected. In this feast, the new king's new Passover, the old law is terminated, the old age is driven away, and truth illuminates the night. Christ expressed this in His memory.\n\nIndeed, a solemn day is being observed, on which this first institution is collected. In this day, the new Passover of the new law terminates the old age, drives away the old, and in the feast of the new king, the newness drives out the oldness. Truth drives away the shadow, and light illuminates the night. Christ showed this to be done in His memory.\n\nWhat He did.\nWe make the offering in the meal. Learned in sacred rites, we bless the bread and wine as the body and blood of the sacrifice for salvation. The doctrine given to Christians is that the bread does not become flesh and the wine does not become blood, but faith, animated and firm, confirms it beyond the order of things.\n\nWe, learned priests, bless the bread and wine as the body and blood of the salvation offering. The doctrine is that the bread becomes flesh and the wine becomes blood. Animated faith confirms that, contrary to the order of things, which you do not comprehend and which you do not see.\n\nUnder various signs and appearances, things that are most excellent and not base remain. Flesh is food, blood is drink. Yet Christ remains whole under each and every species. Unconsciously partaking, you do not recognize or perceive that you receive the undivided whole.\n\nExcellent things remain hidden under various signs and appearances. And excellent things remain hidden in things themselves and not manifest in them. Flesh becomes food, blood becomes drink. Yet Christ remains whole under each and every species.\nA single man receives Christ, who is taken whole and undivided. That is, he receives Him integrally from the giver. One man receives a thousand parts of Christ, another man receives only one. He who receives much does not consume Christ, but is consumed by Him. The good men receive Christ in unequal measure, as do the wicked. Christ is the death of the wicked, and He is the life of the good. Consider and see how unequal the outcome of their reception of Christ is. I say this concerning the broken sacrament. In the end, do not waver or hesitate.\nRemember that the Sacrament is under the appearance of fragments. The Paragraph notes that every kind is called the Par, which is neutral, I say, regarding the caligas (shoes). \u00b6Disparate, that is, not Par, or equal.\nNothing is made to be cut, a sign is made to be broken, neither the status nor the stature of the signed is diminished / Behold, the bread of angels is made into food for the wayfarers, truly the bread of the angels, the bread of the Christians. Do not send this bread to the dogs. / In figures, Isaac is represented as the lamb, indeed, the lamb is designated as the Paschal Lamb, given to the fathers. \u00b6No cutting of the real body of Christ, for the body is the thing consecrated. But the breaking, that is, the breaking of the sign, is made, and the breaking of the sign does not diminish the status or stature of the thing itself, which is signed, but the consecrated body of Christ is diminished. Behold, the bread of angels is made into food for the wayfarers, the bread of the angels, that is, the Eucharistic bread. The lamb is sacrificed, that is, Ysaac is sacrificed.\n\"You, the lamb, have been sent as a paschal offering. I, the manna, the angelic food, give you, the ancient fathers. (This manna is the bread that came down from heaven for the children of Israel, having in it all sweetness.\nGood shepherd, true Jesus, have mercy on us. You feed us, protect us, defend us. Make us see good things on earth and live among the living. You who know all things and are powerful, who feed us here as mortals, make us there your companions, heirs, and friends of the saints. Amen.\n[Constue.] O true shepherd, good Jesus, have mercy on us. You feed us, protect us, defend us. Make us see good things on earth and live among the living in heaven. O Jesus, you who know all things and are powerful, who can do all things, and who feed us here as mortals, make us there your companions, heirs, and friends of the saints. Amen. [Comensalis is he who stays with another at the daily table.] [Sodalis,] friend of Jerusalem and Zion, the whole choir of the faithful, will sing songs of joy and alleluia on the branches of joy.\"\nChrispus today binds ourselves to our mother, the norm of justice, from whom the Church drew misery.\nAll peoples, that is, the congregation of the faith, sing, the daughters of Jerusalem, the triumphant Church, the Church militant. Sweet songs, the continuous joy of the bridesmaids. Alleluia. Christus today espouses our Church as his bride, the norm, the rule of justice, from whom Christ drew the Church out of the lake of misery (which he redeemed with his blood).\nIn the clemency of the Holy Spirit, the bride rejoices in the grace, the love of the bridegroom, Christ, in the clemency of the Spirit. The bride is called blessed by the kings with the glory of praise.\nThe gift given increases joy, which the gift quantitatively touches heaven, earth, and the deep; I speak wonders, but believe it, God in his covenant produced such a vast gift from his own side.\nThe Church was formed in such a way, as it figured in equal glory with the bridegroom, the host, Eve.\nLeticia grows. That is, it increases after the dose is given (in the arrangements of the marriage doses, which is what kind and how many there are. A triple dose has the power to touch heaven, earth, and the underworld. I speak of justice, miraculous and firm. But I speak sane and credible things. God brought forth the church from His side, ratified in faith and joined to Himself with a great gift. The woman Eve was formed from his rib, and she figured and signed that the church should form itself in this way in equal glory.\n\nEve was the stepdame to the posterity / this church is the mother of the elect sex. This church is the port of life. This church is the refuge and protection of the miserable.\n\nPulchra, the beautiful one, gave birth to a miraculous partus (birth).

Which dose is what kind and how many, I speak of justice, miraculous and firm. But I speak sane and credible things. God brought forth the church from His side, ratified in faith and joined to Himself with a great gift. The woman Eve was formed from his rib, and she figured and signed that the church should form itself in this way in equal glory.\n\nEve was the stepmother to us. This church is the mother of the elect. This church is the port of life. This church is the refuge and protection of the miserable.\n\nPulchra, the beautiful one, gave birth to a miraculous birth.

As a man joins God in spirit, subdued by grace, and the fragile human body is joined to the bride, the noble son of God. In this marriage, Christ, the supreme son of God, ceased to dwell and gave the humble place to the church. And the supreme son sought the depths, desiring the spoils of the church. Which thing he wished to purify from blackness.\nHe did what he had decreed / because he could do as he pleased: A servant be ready to be made free: Be a cunning wife, a ruling spouse.

Thus, Moses, while bathing in a basket, is discovered by the girl in the bulrush.

That is, about that woman Lyppa (Rachel), you are ignorant of these matters. And about that richly adorned and supported woman, she marries her sister and gives birth to twins from Judah in the tent. In the bulrush basket, in the bulrushes, Moses is discovered by the girl while bathing. Here, the male goat is sacrificed so that the goat may satisfy Israel; and this one is anointed with its blood.\n\nThrough Lyppam (Synagogue), the blind synagogue is heard whispering.\nHere lies the red-robed Egyptian, sinking deep in the ravenous whirlpool: Here is the urn full of manna / here are the commands of the law / but in the arch of the treaty: Here are the ornaments of the altar / here are Aaron's vestments / which surpasses power / here are the widows / Bersabee, exalted, sits on the royal throne as consort: This queen wears the royal variegated clothing / as do the daughters of kings.\n\nTranslated from the Latin:\n\nHere lies the red-robed Egyptian, sinking deep in the ravenous whirlpool: Here is an urn full of manna / here are the commands of the law / but they are in the arch of the treaty: Here are the ornaments of the altar / here are Aaron's vestments / which surpass all power / here are the widows / Bersabee, exalted, sits on the royal throne as consort: This queen wears the royal variegated clothing / as do the daughters of kings.\nThe queen of the south came here, anointed by the divine wisdom of Solomon.

The Church, worthy of all praise, categorizes and chastises the sacred praises of this day, extolling the impeccable merits of Saint Andrew the Apostle. Saint Andrew, the Januensis, is called upon by the universal Church.

He had great and noble piety in him. He himself prevented many from suffering and lifted up the infamy of virgins with gold. The poverty of the poor fathers was a burden to the virgins. He was lifted up, released, and lifted off:\n\nSome sailors, sailing against the harsh currents of adversity and struggling with the cruelty of the sea, were on a nearly dissolved and almost broken ship. Despairing of life, they were calling out in one voice: \"O blessed Nicholas, pull us to the harbor of the sea from the narrowness of death.\" Pull us to the harbor of the sea, you who have provided so many aids through your merits.\n\"And Nicholas, you who are an aid to so many men, by the grace of pity, draw us to the harbor of the sea through your merits. While they cried out in vain and a certain man was saying, \"Come to our aid, O Nicholas, come to our aid,\" immediately a gracious wind was given and the tempest was calmed. The seas and waters became still. A plentiful supply of grace flows from his tomb. He heals the sick through his intercession.\n\n\"While the sailors cried out and prayed in vain, and no one in vain.

They who give light from a blaze, according to their custom, illuminate the hemispheres of the world with their teachings. Two XPs chose such ones and subdued heresies and so on.\nThey, the evangelists, are two in number, i.e., four sources in the paradise of the world. Illuminating the multitude with divided wisdom and irrigation, they are of divided forms but equal in gesture and adorned with wings. Lifted above the earth with wheels, they have a serene face. I speak of these divine visions, which were divided in form but equal in gesture and adorned with wings. In their presence can be seen quadrangular rings, in which the archaic doctrine is carried. The doctrine is sound, circumscribed by the Samaritan, as a woman from the south approached Salome.\nIn this or quadrigas, there is a driver who died for us: In these two, Christ is both head and end, completing all. Among these documents, among these instruments, the church flourishes. Through the prayers of their deaths, Christ's grace releases us from the debt of their reproach. So that the doctrine and divine virtue may long lead us to the celestial realms.\n\nFour rings or circles. In these rings, the arch is borne, and in them the Gospels, sound in doctrine, are carried around by the evangelists (as it were) circumambulating Samaritan lands. Christ, the woman coming from the south, approached Salome in this way, completing all in these two, the four Gospels. As the lamb, Christ, who died for us, is the driver in this quadriga. The church flourishes in documents and among these, the Gospels. Christ's grace releases us from the debt or sin of their reproach through their prayers.\nWe pray to the evangelists. Divine virtue guides us to the heavens. And this is the teaching of the evangelists. \u00b6This is a ring, a circular one. \u00b6This is a chariot with four wheels. \u00b6The driver of the chariot. \u00b6A plow, a four-wheeled carriage.\nLet us sing organic hymns with the nuces. N. let us return sun-day hymns to the universal day with voices. He who in his saints is wondrously adorned with a manifold flower, adorns and venerates them wonderfully and miraculously among his saints. \u00b6We sing. We praise the sun-day hymns. N. with organic hymns, delightful songs. We say, let all voices (with all manner of voices) return sun-day hymns, that is, laudable offerings to the Lord, who is among the saints, exceedingly wondrous among his saints, adorns and venerates them wonderfully and miraculously, and adorns the same saints miraculously with a manifold flower.\nIn these very instruments, faith stirs up the sounds of faith, pervading each one with a mellifluous melody.\nNamely, because faith excites the sounding strings of virtues, with its own finger, in the sacred instruments, as it were, in certain musical instruments, I say, faith passing through them.\nThat mother of virtues, she who is placed among others, returns a sweet symphony to them.\nWithout that symphony, they become discordant.\nShe who makes consonant the unconsolidated, makes useful things consonant.\nThe just, steadfastly dwelling among us, praise the stars from the lofty sky,\nThe alacrous, the new, the sacred, the third part,\nLet us celebrate their festivities, since they make us worthy of a celebration in the celestial homeland.\nThat melody, that faith, the mother of virtues, generates. She, placed among others, ornaments other virtues and returns a sweet symphony to them.\nWithout that symphony, they become discordant.\ndiscordantia et quae fuissent incongracia. nec veritas friuola cuusque fidei.

O presbyter, we rejoice in this festive day, recalling the great deeds of the Lord, which are greatest among the saints. Against the commands of kings, the virginal struggle prevails.\nFuror rampant rabies, the madness revealed, tristens malice, the cruelty within, emerges in tender flesh, tormenting it. Malice, the ruler, was overcome, and sadness ensued. Cruel malice grew, existing, in tender virgin flesh, and malice, the ruler, sought greater torments. Virgin flesh, steadfast and secure, became more so, as new torments multiplied.\n\nFor eternity, one expects God to afflict the mortal body with suffering. Because they are transient. And the joys, so swiftly changing, fade away like wilting flowers.\n\nSupple virgins, their mortal bodies afflicted, sought eternal glory. That eternal glory, they expected from God. But the joys were transient and fleeting, prone to sudden change, like wilting flowers, or the fleeting nature of that which quickly fades or vanishes.\n\nFrom this virgin's fate, clarity emerged.\nN. We celebrate today the solemnities/feasts of this maiden, shining among others like Lucifer among the lesser stars, the Virgin bearing her child with fortitude, unwilling to die for her glory. May we exult in the ethereal court in perpetual peace, we praise the glorious Virgin, the holy Mother of the supreme King, Mary.\n\nN. From this maiden's number, we celebrate her feasts today. N. Shining among other virgins, like Lucifer, the star of the coming day, the Virgin bears her child with fortitude, unwilling to die for her glory, eternal. Pray to God for us, that we may rejoice in the ethereal court, in the celestial palace, in perpetual peace. Hail, glorious Virgin, exalted to God, that we may praise the Lord for the glory of the saints.\n\nWe celebrate the feasts of the venerable Virgin among the wise, daughters of the supreme Queen, Mary.\n Quam sibi in sororem dei adoptauit filius: Hec corpus suum domuit freno ieiunii: Et luxuriam secuit ense agonie\n\u00b6Construe.

It is a place enclosed or small, or a house that is closed to many. The most secret house to which many keys are reached.

Here's the cleaned version:\n\nThe word, which is the Son of God, became flesh and dwells consequently according to the pact. Yet the Virgin's womb remains ever virgin and ignorant, both she, the Virgin Mary, and the man do not deflower her, he will not torment nor labor when giving birth to a son. Hear the sign of novelty. Believe only this and it is enough, for it is not within your power to loose or untie the knot or the tongue.\n\nGrand and notable is the sign in the red and in the fire, no one approaches it unworthily, he who touches it is scorched. The dry rod bore fruit without new dew in a new ritual, so too the virgin gave birth.\n\nGrand and notable is the sign in the red and in the fire.\nThis text appears to be in a mix of Latin and Old English, with some errors and irregularities. I will attempt to clean and translate it to modern English as faithfully as possible.\n\nne quis ipse. i.e. no one unjustly approaches. i.e. approaches. & a dry stick. i.e. produced. a fruit without flower, fine with new rite, new manner, & similarly a virgin gave birth (to children)\n\nBlessed is this fruit / this fruit of joy, no sorrow, no temptation was present / if our Savior Jesus had tasted of this, our Savior, good, pious, bearer of a mother's tender burden / whose throne is in heaven, is born in a manger\nHe is such for us, born among us / to delete our sins, for our dwelling is in danger /\n\n\u00b6This fruit is called blessed. i.e. is blessed. fruit of joy, no sorrow, i.e. tears. Adam was not, i.e. had not been, seduced, i.e. deceived. Our dwelling is in danger.\nI. It is not an angel to a virgin that the lover of man sends, but his archangel, strengthening him. Let him bring good news for us, making a way, lest judgment overtake the virgin in childbirth. Let the born king of glory rule and reign, and let winter's frost be removed from the midst.\n\nII. Christ, the lover of man, does not send any angel to the virgin, but sends the archangel Gabriel. With his strength, Christ, the lover of man, brings good news. He is a strong messenger for us. Let Christ make a way for me, a hindrance or judgment being the virgin's conceiving and giving birth to a child.\n\nIII. Superbly surpassing heights, the collars crush beneath his feet, powerful in the contest. Let him cast out the worldly prince and make his spouse a partner in his kingdom.\n\nII. Christ, surpassing the heights with his own power, crushes and tramples them. The lover crushes the heights, that is, the altitudes.\nSupple Gabriel brings forth Mu\u1e0danu\u0304 the prince, that is, Diabolo. Let him go and say these gifts: Reuela, the old letter of the prophecy, reveals its virtue through the messenger. Approach, messenger, and say, \"Come, full of grace,\" \"The Lord is with you,\" and \"Do not fear.\" The virgin will receive God's deposit; in it, she will fulfill her chaste purpose and keep her vow.\n\nThe construction is plain. You who will deliver these messages, go. Reuela. That is, openly manifest the ancient prophecy's veil.\n\nThe maiden hears and receives the message, believes and conceives, and gives birth to an admirable son. Counselor of the human race and of God the strong, and an everlasting father to posterity in peace.\n\nConstruct. The maiden hears and receives the message, believes and conceives, and gives birth to an admirable son, a consoler of the human race. That is, a god of strength. And she gives birth to a father to posterity. I say, may the father be stable in peace.\n\"We are that salutation, the most private chamber of Christ, the word good and sweet by which the Virgin Mother and Daughter of God became the enclosure of Christ.

We, sinners, are redeemed by you, one and three.\n\nO sancta Trinitas, unicus deus, tuum populum cunctum protege et defendes. Creati sumus a te, Deus, ex nihilo, et per te formati sumus. Et plenitudo amoris tui, nostra redemptio, est spes nostra. Peccatores sumus, tuo uni et trini redempti sumus.\n\nPopulus tuus cunctus, protege et salva nos. Te adoramus, omnipotens Deus, et canimus tibi: Tibi laus et gloria, in saecula saeculorum.\n\nO sancta Trinitas, unicus deus, tuum populum cunctum protege et defendes. Creati sumus a te, Deus, ex nihilo, et per te formati sumus. Et plenitudo amoris tui, nostra redemptio, est spes nostra. Peccatores sumus, tuo uni et trini redempti sumus.\nDulcis Iesus Nazarenus, amen Iudearum: pius, misercordiae plenus, pulcher, flos: pro salute sue gentis subit mortem cum tormentis.\n\nThis sequence will be sung in honor of the most sweet name of Jesus.\n\nThe construction is plain. Therefore, I will add some unnecessary letters after the literal text. I have collected examples from the old and new testaments concerning a man in his entirety and power, the most excellent, mighty, and worthy name of Jesus.\n\nConstruct as follows: Dulcis Iesus Nazarenus, amen Iudearum. Supple existing, pius, misericordiae plena. Pulcher, flos: dat odorem flores. Subit, subiit mortem cum tormentis, scaurus cruci pro salute, redemptione sue gentis. Iesus dico factus pallidus, id est subniger.\n\nNote: Iesus is called Savior in Hebrew, Sooter in Greek, and Salvator in Latin.\n\nAlso, the name Nazarenus is interpreted as:\n\nIt is to be noted that this name Jesus confers manifold grace upon a man.\nPrimo, whatever we as humans desire eternal life. For there is no other name under heaven where we are saved. In the name of our Lord we will be magnified. Therefore, out of reverence for this name of Jesus, every knee should bend, in heaven, on earth, and in the netherworld. So, any Christian who hears this name of Jesus in the Mass, should devoutly bend their knees and say, \"O Lord, save me, a sinner, through your mercy.\"\n\nNote: This name of Jesus heals fevers.\n\nIt is read of a certain brother of the Order of Minors, who heard many miracles about our Lord Jesus. When a fever attacked him, he wrote down this name of Jesus and\n\nThis name of Jesus confers many virtues\n\nA devout and innocent young man prayed to God to be carried on in His love. To this, an angel of the Lord replied, \"Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.\" After this, he was immediately tested and found to be in the state as promised.\nThis name is Jesus, transcending all names. It soothes the guilty, heals and protects them, comforts them against insults.\nConstruct this sweet name, Jesus. Surname: Nazarene. Prenomen: King of the Jews. It is transcendent, surpassing all others. This name Jesus soothes, mitigates and heals the guilty, nurtures and protects them against insults, invasions.\nYour enemy, insult, impetuous aggression\nUnder this king's standard, you dwell in peace; your enemies flee. His name, premeditated for war, drives away the preparations of enemies, the defeated enemies grumble.\nIf you dwell, live humbly in peace and tranquility, this enemy will flee, the defeated enemy.\nThis name is to be remembered, for it is always terrible to malicious spirits. This is the saving and unique name, which comes to the aid of the sorrowful.\nThis name is Jesus, to be remembered and revered.\nThis text appears to be written in Old Latin. Here is the cleaned version:\n\n\"Quod nomen iesus est tremendum. Iesus est nomen salutare et consolamentis. Quod nomen succurrit tristibus et mestis.\n\nHoc nos decet honorare in corde nostro. Hoc nomen iesus decet honorare et inserere, plantare, cogitare, et amare in corde nostro. Sed amore heroico, amat heroicus ab herus ri deus terre, Sanctus Ignatius docuit hoc. Quis fuit passus, tribulatus, insignuit, invocavit illud nomen iesus, et quod cor eius erat scissum, mortuus est. Patuit hoc inscriptum: Iesu celico.\n\nQuid maiora cupimus quam quod Iesus sit intimescere, qui et praematurimus et querit nos amare. Amat ferventissime, constantissime, filidelissime, et voluit nos suos.\n\nConstructio est plana. Quid ad quid cupimus desideramus ma.\"\n\nTranslation:\n\n\"The name of Jesus is terrible. The name of Jesus is saving and consoling. The name of Jesus comes to the aid of the sad and mourning.\n\nWe should honor this name in our heart. We should honor and plant, think about, and love this name in our heart. But with heroic love, the god heroicus from herus ri, Saint Ignatius taught this. He who was scourged, tormented, proclaimed, invoked the name of Jesus, and whose heart was pierced, died. It was inscribed: Iesu celico.\n\nWhat greater things do we desire than for Jesus to be intimately close to us, who desires us more than ourselves and asks us to love Him. He loves us fervently, constantly, most faithfully, and wants us to be His own.\n\nThe construction is plain. What is it that we desire and long for.\"\nIesus made his name known to be loving and dear, capital and principal, to all Christians, and I say his name, the beloved one, from the depths, the primordial depths of the heart. The laws of nature, the natural law, teach this, that we remember and love the one who loves us. Iesus, his every name is good, sweet-sounding, deserving of the throne of the kingdom, delightful to the ear and the mouth. In this, the splendor of the Father shines, the decorum of the Father is manifest, the honor of the Father is radiant, and this exalts the brothers.\n\nThat name of Jesus holds all good within itself, makes a sweet, honeyed sound, and is deserving of the throne of the celestial kingdom, and delights the ear. The splendor, the virtue of the Father, the Almighty, shines and clarifies in this, that we know Jesus. The decorum, the honor of the Mother Mary is manifest.\n manifestatur in hoc sc\u0290 noi\u0304e iesu. honor .i. laus fratris. fulget .i. fulgendo patet in hoc nomine iesu. et hoc sc\u0290 nomen iesus magnificat .i. letificat fratres. sc\u0290 nos christianos.

In knowing he is supreme, in desiring he grasps all, in loving he captures and detains those who are drawn to him.\nAnother reason why Jesus is rightly desired:\nBecause he himself is supreme in power and strength, supreme in honor and loftiness, supreme in grace and kindness, he obtains and holds all praise. For Jesus knows and understands supremely in knowing and recognizing, and he grasps all in desiring and loving, he captures human hearts in loving and holding them in devotion, and observes and keeps those who are offered in devotion.\n\nEya nomen nobis gratum / iesus dulcis appellatu\u0304 / sit in corde sic firmatum vt non possit erui.

{"content": "Problems of old likenesses and figures\nWhich have been fruitful in sentence\nAnd authorities grounded on scriptures\nBy resemblance of notable appearance\nWith moralities concluding on prudence\nLike the Bible recounts by writing\nHow trees sometimes choose a king\nFirst in their choice they named Holofernes\nTo reign among them (Judges) expresses\nBut he himself began to be\nHe might not forsake his fatteness\nNor the fig tree its amorous sweetness\nNor the vine its wholesome carriage\nWhich gives comfort to all manner of age\nAnd similarly poets laureate\nBy dark parables fully convenient\nFine that birds and beasts of estate\nAs royal eagles and lions by assent\nSent out writs to hold a parliament\nAnd made decrees briefly for to say\nSome to have lordship & some to obey\nEagles in their highest to make the flight\nPower of lions on the ground is seen\nCedar among trees highest is of sight\nAnd the laurel of nature is always green\nOf flowers all, Flora is always goddess and queen.\nOnce upon a time in a small village, as my author relates,\nA man, a jongleur with great courage and desire,\nDetermined to create a richly entertaining garden,\nOf ample length and breadth, like square and long,\nFenced and dug to ensure its strength and security,\nAll the alleys were made level with sand,\nThe benches covered with new green turf,\nSweet herbs planted at the edges.\n\nA man in a small village, as the author tells,\nHad a strong desire and great courage within him,\nHe endeavored to create a beautiful garden,\nLarge in length and breadth, shaped like a square and long,\nFenced and dug to make it secure and strong,\nHe leveled all the alleys with sand,\nCovered the benches with new green turf,\nPlanted sweet herbs at the edges.\nThat which turns against the sun,\nLike silver streams, as crystal clear,\nThe turbulent waves in their boiling,\nRound as pearls they show their beams,\nMidst in the garden stood a fresh laurel,\nThere a bird singing day and night,\nWith shining feathers brighter than gold wire,\nWhich with her song made heavy hearts light,\nA sight to behold was heavenly,\nTowards evening and at the dawning,\nShe did her pain most amorously to sing,\nEsperus enforced her courage,\nTowards evening when Phoebus began to wane,\nAmong the branches to her advantage,\nTo sing in compliance and then to rest,\nAnd at the rising of Queen Alcyone,\nTo sing again as it was her due,\nEarly in the morning the day star sells,\nEvening and morn to hear the birds song,\nAnd the sweet fragrant harmony,\nOf uncouth worms and twines draws a long,\nThat all the garden was filled with the noise,\nUntil one morning when Typhon shone clear,\nThis bird was trapped and caught with a panther.\nThe jester was glad when he had this bird taken\n\u00b6From him the merry cheer of look and face\n\u00b6And in all haste he proposed to make\n\u00b6Within his house a pretty little cage\n\u00b6And with her song to rejoice his courage\n\u00b6Until at last the silly bird departed\n\u00b6And soberly thus to the jester she said\n\u00b6I am now taken and stand under danger\n\u00b6Hold fast that I may not flee\n\u00b6Give me your song and all my notes clear\n\u00b6Now that I have lost my liberty\n\u00b6Now I am thrall where once he was free\n\u00b6And trust well while I am in distress\n\u00b6I cannot sing nor make any joy\n\u00b6And though my cage is forged of gold\n\u00b6And the pinions of bells and crystal\n\u00b6I remember a proverb said of old\n\u00b6He who loses his freedom, forsooth, he loses all\n\u00b6For I had rather be on a small branch\n\u00b6Merely to sing among the green woods\n\u00b6Than in a cage of silver bright and shining\n\u00b6Song in prison has no accord\n\u00b6Do you truly think I will sing in prison\n\u00b6Song proceeds from joy and pleasure\n\u00b6And prison causes death and destruction\nRinging of feet is no merry sound,\nOr how should he be glad or Io,\nAgainst his will that lies in chains confined,\nWhat avails it a lion to be a king,\nOf beasts all shut in a tower of stone,\nOr an eagle under strict keeping,\nCalled also king of birds, every one,\nFie on lordship when liberty is gone,\nAnswer here late, let it not be later,\nWho sings merrily that sings not at heart,\nAnd if thou wilt rejoice in my singing,\nLet me go free from all danger,\nAnd every day in the morning,\nI shall repair unto thy laurel,\nAnd freshenly sing with clear, lusty notes,\nEvery season when thou list to call,\nTo be shut up and pinned under fear,\nNothing agrees with my nature,\nThough I were fed with milk and wastel bread,\nAnd with crudges brought to my pasture,\nYet had I rather do my best cure,\nEarly in the morning to scrape in the vale,\nTo find my dinner among the worms small,\nThe laborer is gladder at the plough,\nEarly in the morning to feed him on bacon,\nThan some man is that has good enough.\nAnd all detainees plentiful and content,\nAnd have no freedom with their possession,\nTo go at large but as a bird on a stake,\nTo pass boundaries but if they leave take,\nTake this answer for a full conclusion,\nTo sing in prison you shall not compel me,\nUntil I have freedom in woods up and down,\nTo flee at large on boughs rowan and plain,\nAnd therefore you should not disdain,\nOf my desire but laugh and have game,\nBut who is a fool, would each man be the same?\nWell said the fool since it will not be,\nThat I desire as by your talking,\nMuch rather your will you shall choose from three,\nWithin a cage merrily to sing,\nOr to the kitchen I shall bring your body,\nPull your feathers that are bright and clear,\nAnd after roast or bake the to my soup,\nThen said the bird to reason, say I not nay,\nTouching my song, a full answer you have.\nAnd when my feathers plucked be away,\nAnd my body roasted or baked in paste,\nYou shall of me have a small repast.\nBut if you will work by my counsel.\nThou may have a great reward from me, if thou wilt consent to my reason and allow me freely to leave without reason or any other rent. I shall repay a notable reward in return, three great wisdoms according to reason. Take heed what I offer is of greater value than all the gold that sets in thy coffer. Trust me well, I shall not deceive thee. Well said, the jester told anon, late see. Nay, said the bird, thou must before conceive, who shall teach of reason must go free. It seems a master to have his liberty and at large to teach his lesson. Have me not suspect, I mean no treason. Well said, the jester, I hold myself content. I trust thy promise that thou hast made to me. The bird flew forth, the jester was of assent, and took her flight upon the laurel tree. Then thought she, now I stand free. With snares and panters I purpose not my life, nor with any more lime twines to strive. He is a fool that escaped is from danger, has broken his fetters and fled from prison.\nAgain, I turn to the topic of fearing fire, child.\nEach man beware, through wisdom and reason.\nSugar strained that hides false poison.\nThere is no venom so perilous in sharpness,\nAs when it has the likeness of tarry.\nWho fears no peril in peril shall fall.\nSmooth waters can be deceptively deep.\nThe quail pipe can most falsely call.\nUntil the quail is under the net does it creep.\nA bleary-eyed fool, trust not though he weeps.\nEschew his thumb from weeping, take no heed.\nSmall birds can ensnare by the head.\nAnd now that I have escaped such danger,\nI will beware and prepare beforehand.\nFrom their limp twigs, I will flee far aside.\nWhere peril is, peril is to abide.\nCome near, thou churl, and hearken to my speech,\nOf the three wisdoms that I shall teach.\nGive not of wisdom to hasty credence.\nTo every tale and every tidings,\nBut conceive of reason and of prudence.\nAmong many tales in many a lying,\nHasty credence has caused great hindrance.\nReport of tales and tidings, new and untrue,\nMakes many a man to look askance, for one part, take this as my reason,\nLearn the second grounded on scripture,\nDesire not thou anything conditionally,\nA thing which is impossible to recover,\nWorldly desires stand all in jeopardy,\nAnd he who desired to climb high a loft,\nSuddenly turns to fall unexpectedly,\nThe third is this: beware both day and night,\nForget not but learn this from me,\nFor treasure lost make never great sorrow,\nWhich in no way may be recovered,\nHe who sorrows for loss to such a degree,\nConsiders first his loss and then his pain,\nFrom one sorrow he makes sorrows two,\nAfter this lesson, the bird began a song,\nOf her escape, greatly rejoicing,\nAnd remembered also the wrong,\nDone by the jester first at her taking,\nOf her affray and of her imprisonment,\nGlad that she was at large and out of fear,\nSaid to him hovering above his head,\nThou art called a true natural fool,\nTo suffer me to depart from thy possessions.\nThou oughtest in right to complain and mourn,\nAnd in thy heart to have great sorrow,\nThat thou hast lost such passing great riches,\nWhich might suffice in value to pay the ransom of a mighty king.\nThere is a stone which is called the Iagestone,\nOf old origin within my entrails,\nWhich is set with fine gold for a price,\nCitrine in color like garnets in entrails,\nWhich makes men victorious in battle.\nWhoever bears this stone on him is fully assured against his mortal foe.\nHe who has this stone in his possession\nShall suffer no poverty nor indigence,\nBut of all treasure shall have plenty and abundance.\nAnd every man shall do him reverence,\nAnd enemy shall do him none offense.\nBut from thy hands now that I am gone,\nPlayne if thou wilt, for thy part is none.\nIt causes love, it makes men gracious and favorable,\nIn every man's sight it makes accord between the envious,\nComforts the sorrowful, makes heavy hearts light,\nLike topaz in color, brightness of sunshine.\nI am a fool to tell all alone\nOr teach a jester the price of precious stones\nMen should not put a precious marble\nAs rubies, sapphires, and other stones indigo\nEmeralds and other pearls white\nAfore a rude swine that loves to root of kind\nFor a sow delights as I find\nMore in rooting her pigges for to glade\nThan in all the pearl it comes out of oyster\nEach thing draws to its likeness\nFishes in the sea beasts on the shore\nThe air for birds by nature is commendable\nAnd to the plowman for to till the land\nAnd to a jester a dongle in his hand\nI lose my time anymore to tarry\nFor to tell a jester of the lapidary\nThat thou haddest thou gettest no more again\nThy limbs twitch and pantiers I defy\nTo let me go thou were foul overseen\nTo lose thy riches only for folly\nI am now free to sing and to fly\nWhere that I list and he is a fool at all\nThat is at large and makes himself thrall\nTo hear of wisdom thine ears are half deaf\nLike an ass that listens on an harp\nThou mayst pine in a yew leaf\nIt is better to me to sing on thorns sharp\nThan in a cage with a choir to carp\nFor it was said of people years ago\nA choir's choir is often woe begotten\nThe choir felt his heart part on twain\nFor true sorrow and a sudden rue\nAlas said he, I may well weep and pine\nAs a wretch never like to thrive\nBut for endurance in poverty all my life\nFor folly and wilfulness\nI have now lost all holy my riches\nI was a lord, I cry out on fortune\nI had great treasure late in my keeping\nWhich might have made me long continue\nWith that stone, to have lived like a king\nIf I had set it in a ring\nBorn it upon me. I had good enough\nI should then no more have gone to the plough\nWhen the bird saw the choir thus morn\nAnd how that he was heavy of his cheer\nShe took her flight & went again return\nTowards him and said as you shall hear\nO dull choir, wisdoms for to teach\nThat I the taught all is left behind\nRaced away and clean out of thy mind\nI. I was not taught this wisdom in speech\nII. To every tale brought to thee new,\nIII. Do not give it credence hastily,\nIV. Until thou knowest it to be true,\nV. Not all that glitters is gold,\nVI. Nor are all stones naturally the same,\nVII. Do not judge sapphires by their color alone,\nVIII. In this doctrine I lost my labor,\nIX. Now canst thou see thy blind error,\nX. For all my body weighs in balance,\nXI. Weighs not an ounce rude is thy remembrance,\nXII. I should have more purpose hidden within me,\nXIII. Than all my body set for the counterweight,\nXIV. All my body weighs not an ounce,\nXV. How mighty a stone have I in me,\nXVI. That weighs more than an ounce,\nXVII. Thy brain is dull, thy wit is all but gone,\nXVIII. Of the three wisdoms thou hast forgotten one,\nXIX. Thou shouldst not, after my sentence,\nXX. To every tale give credence hastily,\nXXI. I also warned thee to beware,\nXXII. Both even and morn,\nXXIII. For a thing lost through sudden adventure,\nXXIV. Thou shouldst not make too much sorrow,\nXXV.

Cadmus, however, did not stay there for long, as the story relates. He was exiled from the town shortly thereafter and never returned. Amphyon, a knight, performed richly for the people of Thebes, which was renowned for its mighty square stones, as I previously told you. And so, Cadmus learned to relinquish his scepter and crown, and his royal power. I have now told you the origin of all this. You, as clerks, can clearly explain the prophecy and significance of this matter. It would be in vain for me to linger longer on this topic. My tale, which you will hear on our journey, will last a long time. The distance, I suppose, is about a mile. First, let me tell you how Amphyon founded and ruled over Thebes, as I have read in the records.\nOf him no more. I will proceed. Here I will not tell, as I first began, how the line ran from king to king. Conveying down, by the stroke of Amphion, carefully by line, all the discord, but leave this aside. plainly for intent, to tell forth, in books as I read, how Laius, by procession, came to bear the crown, in this mighty land, holding the scepter of Thebes in his hand.\n\nKing Laius,\nManly and wise,\nDuring all his life,\nAnd Jocasta, called was his wife,\nFull womanly, the story says,\nFor a time, though she was barren,\nUntil Laius, in full humble wise,\nTo have a child, did sacrifice,\nFirst to Apollo, in his chariot so bright,\nAnd Jupiter, who has such great might,\nBeseeching them, with devout reverence,\nTo grant only, through their influence,\nThat his request may be executed,\nAnd especially to goddesses three,\nHe besought, Pallas and Juno,\nAnd Diana, for to help also,\nThat he not be defrauded, of his boon,\nAnd his prayer accepted, was full soon.\nThat finally, through his rites old alike,\nAs his heart willed, Queen Jocasta has conceived,\nWhich when the king, fully perceived,\nHe made in haste, he listed not to abide\nThroughout his kingdom, messengers ride\nFrom coast to coast, the story can devise\nFor diviners and philosophers wise,\nFor such as were, famous physicians\nAnd well experienced, astronomers\nTo come in haste to his presence\nTo find out, in short sentence,\nBy craft alone, of calculation,\nHow the astronomers and philosophers of Thebes called out the fate\nOf Oedipus,\nThe children's fate and dispositions,\nAnd thereupon, to give a judgment\nThe route I take, at the ascendent,\nTruly sought out, by minute and degree,\nThe self-hour, of his nativity,\nNot yet for the heavenly mansions,\nClearly searched, by small fractions,\nFirst by seconds, tears, and also quartes,\nOn angry stones and on white carts,\nI proved out, by diligent labor,\nIn tables corrected, devoid of all error,\nJustly sought and found out of both.\nThe years collected and examined, every hour and constellation, and each aspect, looking at which were good and which were perverse, towards or in debate, happy or unfortunate. In conclusion, they found Saturn in Scorpio. He was heavy, melancholic, and loathsome. Mars was furious and wrathful, holding his scepter in Capricorn. The same hour, when this child was born, Venus directed and contrary, and depressed in Mars' house, that the judgment and domain of these clerks, by fatal fate, could not be withdrawn. That with his sword, his father would be a slave. There is no man who can help it or excuse this. On this account, the king was deeply troubled, and he considered casting himself on the other side, against their judgment for himself. Shape away, and find remedy beforehand.\nByddyng the queen. When the child was born,\nwithout mercy or moderate pity,\nThat he be dead. It may not be,\nAnd in all haste, like as he had sent,\nShe obeyed, his commandment,\nWith a woeful heart and pitiful look,\nAnd a pale face, her young son she took,\nTender and green, both of flesh and bones,\nTo certain men ordered for the nones,\nFrom point to point, in all manner a thing,\nTo execute, the bidding of the king,\nThey durst not delay it nor abide,\nBut to a forest that stood far beside,\nThey took their way and quickly sped,\nThe king's will, to perform in deed,\nHaving thereof, passing heaviness,\nBut when they beheld the fairness,\nAnd excellent beauty,\nIn her heart, they had great pity,\nAnd plainly cast, among them was no strife,\nThat the child, should have his life,\nAnd immediately, full high upon a tree,\nIn a place, that no man might see,\nThey hanged him up. The story can rehearse,\nBut first his feet, through them they began to pierce,\nAnd on bows tender, towgh and small.\nThey brought him up this new tale, to preserve him from beasts and rage. After taking her voyage towards Thebes, in all the haste they could, they found her that same day, with her hounds, searching here and there. The hunters of King Polybon went through the forest, seeking game before and after. They searched and sought sore among the hills and thickets. And as they followed the trail, they found the child in the forest and presented him to the king. They heard a noise and a pitiful cry of this child, hanging on this tree, and left not until they had found him. They took him down and untied his feet and bore him home to Polybon, in Lryngus of Arcadia. When he first saw the child, he had great pity, to behold his tender feet bleeding. He called him Edypus, as I read, plainly this new phase.\nThe king first, in his royal hall, called his men to nurse and keep this young child, whom they should not let weep, and charged his leches to attend him until he was well. After his day, he intended to make him his heir. For this reason, whoever took charge would have none to succeed in line. I find no wife mentioned for him, so let it be. But through the passage of days and years, this Edyppus, among his playing companions, was at the gate, full of pride, that none could endure to remain with him in peace. I heard he was so inwardly surly, melancholic, and contrary, full of spite and high disdain, that no one dared to speak to him shortly, until one day he began, with great hatred, to provoke him who could not sustain his pride. He truly attacked him.\nAnd unto him thus he spoke:\nWhere thou art so proud of thy port, Lontrarye, ever in our company,\nFroward and fell, lasting ever more than mones,\nAs thou were lord over us each one,\nAnd presumptuous, fully in working,\nLike as thou were son unto the king,\nAnd descended of his royal blood,\nBut where so'er thou art wroth or mad,\nThou art nothing, and thou shouldst take heed,\nAppointing thyself to his kindred,\nBut in a forest, found and unknown,\nWhen thou were young, the forebear the low,\nAnd utterly remember if thou wilt,\nThy birth and blood, are both two unknown,\nThis is the fine, shortly of my tale,\nWherewith Edyppus began to grow pale,\nAnd change also, countenance and cheer,\nAnd began a point, in his remembrance,\nWord by word, and feigned right nothing,\nAnd seemed to ponder, in his own thought,\nAnd cast he would, without more delay,\nThe truth enquire of Polybon the king,\nAnd when he saw opportune space,\nAnd the king in sure place,\nHe humbly besought him, on his knee.\nTo his request, Benignly he sees\nAnd that he would declare the truth plainly and not spare,\nOf his birth, the true truth declare,\nAnd make him sure of this thing at once,\nWhether he were his true son or none,\nAnd Polybon, only out of gentleness,\nWhen he beheld the great heaviness\nOf Edyppus, and the woeful pain,\nHe began to doubt and in a manner feign,\nAs if he had been truly his heir,\nBut more and more he falls into despair,\nAnd down on his knees, again he falls,\nHim conjuring by the goods all,\nTo tell the truth and no thing to hide,\nMoreover, he would not abide\nLonger with him, but ride and inquire,\nTill time he may the true truth here\nIn any part, of happiness or of fortune,\nAnd for that he was so importune\nIn his desire, the king without delay,\nLeriously told how it stood,\nIn a forest first, how he was found,\nUpon a tree, by the feet I bound,\nAnd how he cast, in conclusion,\nTo make him king, of that region,\nAfter his day, shortly to tell,\nBut Edyppus will no longer dwell.\nBut to leave. And in haste ride\nTo a temple fast beside\nOf Apollo. In story as it is told\nWhose statue stood in a chariot of gold\nOn wheels four. Burned bright and shining\nAnd within, a spirit full unclean\nBy fraud only. And false collusion\nAnd answered every question\nBringing the people in full great error\nSuch as to him did deny true honor\nBy rights used in the old laws\nAccording to the custom of pagan laws\nAnd Edyppus, with full humble cheer\nTo Apollo made his prayer\nBeseeching him on his knees bow\nBy some sign. That he might know\nThrough evidence, shortly comprehend\nOf what kindred. He was descended\n\nAnd when Edyppus, by great devotion\nHad finished his orison\nHe found at once. Women Invisible\nWith a voice. Dreadful and horrible\nBade him in haste. Take his journey\nTowards Thebes. Where he shall hear\nOf his lineage. And be certified\nAnd on his way, anon he was hurried\nBy hasty journey. & so his horse constrained\nDay by day. Until he had attained\nI. At a castle, I called for a rich and strong one, well fortified, adjacent to Thebes the city, lying near, where Lyng Layus was present, holding a tournament with his knights, young and curious, and other people who were eager to prove themselves, to see who by force or might excelled, or gained a name through high prowess. Each of them made haste, both on horseback and on foot. Some, however, found themselves unfit for war rather than peace. Edypus put himself in the fray, ready to engage in debate, forcing his way in at the gate, disregarding all who opposed him.\n\nHow Edypus slew Layus:\nLyng Layus, in turn, cruelly killed Edypus.\n\nThe story does not record the manner of how this happened, nor can anyone truly discern by any sign\nWhich hand it was that seized the king?\nFor Edypus, in haste, drew him away.\nAnd kept him cloistered. Of enticement\nGreat was the noise. And the pitiful sound\nIn the castle. For the slaughter of the king\nDoleful and complaint. Sorrow and weeping\nBut for their eyes, heuynesse and thought\nAgainst death. vainly little or nothing\nThey ordered. With rites royal\nFor the feast. called funeral\nAnd like the custom. Of the days old\nThe corpse they burned. In ashes cold\nAnd in a vessel. Round made as a ball\nThey closed them. In gold and in metal\nAnd after that did she\nAt Thebes. To make a sepulcher\nAnd richly. They wished no longer to delay\nThe ashen did they. Enclose and shut\nOf this matter. There is no more to say\nBut to Edyppus. I will turn again\nWhich him enchains day to day\nTowering Thebes. In all that ever he may\nBurning in heart. Hot as any fire\nThe fine to know. Of his fatal desire\nBut for that he failed. Of a guide\nOut of his way. He went far astray\nThrough a wyle (or wynde), and a waste country,\nHydrapus (or Edypius) went by the hill\nWhere the monster, of many diverse kinds,\nConversed, as I find. Among which, indeed,\nThere was one so cruelly infernal,\nThat no man dared to go near, for fear of death,\nBy that passage. This monster was so enraged,\nThe dreadful, monstrous creature\nWhich had also, by description,\nA body and feet like a ferocious lion,\nAnd a head and face like a maiden,\nFell from its look, and cruel to manace,\nAnd odious, in disposition and appearance,\nAnd, as I read, Spynx this monster was called,\nWorse than Tyger, Dragon, or Serpent,\nAnd I suppose, by enchantment,\nHe was ordered, on the hill, to abide,\nTo slay all those who passed by,\nAnd especially, all who failed,\nTo expose, his mystic divine display,\nHis problem also, in plain and bare words,\nWithout a miss, openly declare,\nOr with his life, he might not escape.\nThis is a plain and simple truth. No jest.\nAnd if he had made a clear exposure by declaration,\nHe should in haste have found no other means\nTo slay this monster, for all his cruelty, there might be no mercy granted.\nBut for this, Edyppus ignorant,\nThis dreadful hill, standing on a rock,\nOr he had been aware, it was nearly approaching,\nMore perilous than he supposed.\nAnd suddenly the monster began to descend,\nTo stop its way and hinder its passage,\nThus breaking through, with a fierce courage,\nI am glad in my heart, for fortune has brought it to my door,\nTo make a priest, if you can endure,\nThe fatal end of this adventure,\nSet yourself at the ready, truly by days old,\nAnd by and by, it told him all the causes,\nCharging him to be well aware and wise,\nGet the palm and bear away the prize,\nThinking this thing, it set us two,\nWith life or death, which we shall dare.\nAnd this monster, with a despising face,\nIts problem began thus, as you shall hear.\nThere is a beast. marvelous to see,\nThe problem that Sphinx put to Oedipus,\nWhich in truth, at his nativity,\nIs of his might, so tender and so green,\nThat he cannot sustain himself,\nUnless he is of his mother born,\nAnd afterward, by the process of age,\nHe makes his passage on four feet,\nFirst one, then three, if I shall not feign,\nAnd lastly, he goes upright on two.\nDiverse of ports and wonderful of forms,\nUntil by length, of many various years,\nNaturally, he goes again on three,\nAnd since on four, it may none other be,\nAnd finally, this is the plain truth,\nHe returns, kindly again,\nTo the matter, which that he came from,\nLo here is all my problem, do ponder,\nMuse here upon, without war or strife,\nDeclare it, or else lose thy life,\nAnd when Oedipus, this thing discovered,\nWas well assured in his manly heart,\nBegan in his wit, to search and probe,\nAnd of prudence, cast in his reason,\nBy great advice, what this thing may be.\nSeenge so that he may not flee, and how there was no counsel nor rede but to tell the truth or else be dead. And by full good deliberation, thus he answered in conclusion. Thou Spinx, thou art false and fraudulent. Thou foul monster, thou dragon, thou serpent, that in this hill lies, like as I conceive, lying in a white, peoples to deceive. But trust well, for all thy sly wit, Thy false fraud shall soon be quited. I do not wish to whisper nor frown, but thy problem, I shall soon expose. So openly, thou shalt not go there. Lo, thus it is, take good heed there to. Thylke best, thou spoke of her before. How did Edyppus expose the problem that the Spinx put to him? Is every man in this world born, which may not go his limbs be so soft But as his mother bears him a love In her arms, when he does cry or weep, And after that, he begins to creep On four feet, in his tender youth By experience, as it is often the case, A form I reckoned, his hands both two.\nAnd by process, you may consider also with his two feet. He has a staff to sustain himself, and then he goes shortly upon three, and lastly, as it must needs be, voyaging his staff, he walks upon twain, till it be through age he attains that lust of youth, wasted and spent. Then in his hand, he takes a potent, and on three feet, thus he goes again, and I dare affirm, you may not withstand, and soon after, through his unwieldy might, by influence of nature's right, by experience, as every man may know, like a child, on four, he may here no while sojourn to earth again. Whoever comes from him, he may it not renew. For in this world, no man may eschew this very truth, shortly and no doubt, when the wheel of kind comes about, and naturally, has its course run, by circuity, as does the shining son, that man and child, of high and low estate, it gains not to make more debate.\nHis time set. He must fine\nwhen Antropos, of malice dooth unwine\nHis life. Look here thy problem. fully is expounded\nAt our meeting. As I took on hand\nTo the law. That thou must needs stand\nAnd in all haste. Of my hands die\nBut of reason. Thou can it aught with say\nAnd so this sphinx, a wary and amate\nStood dismayed. And disconsolate\nWith cheer done cast. much pale and dead\nAnd Edyppus. Anon smote off the head\nOf this fiend. stinking and unsightly\nAnd the country. Set holy in quiet\nWhereby he hath such a prize I won\nThat his fame. Is every cost rewon\nThrough all the land. It he the monster hath slain\nAnd live rightly. To Thebes he began to draw\nWell received. For his worthiness\nFor his manhood. And his righteous prowess\nAnd for they see. He was a seemly knight\nWell favored. In every man's sight\nAnd saw also. Thebes the mighty town\nNot only they. But all the region\nwere destitute. Of a governor\nAvens her foot. Having no support\nThem to defend. But the queen alone\nAmong themselves, making great money, for there were no books that specify the septre or crown for occupation. The lords, all by one consent, within the town, set a parliament. Concluding it prudently if it might be, to treat with the queen. Namely, those who held themselves most wise, proposed marriage as a means. She, to be joined to this manly knight, passing prudent and famous in might and appearance. Most likely man, as they could discern. The worthy city, to keep and govern, and through counsel of the lords all, to her desire, openly she had fallen and was bound, without further delay. That of Thebes, Edyppus was to be king, by full assent, there was none who said no. A time was set, again against a certain day. Among themselves, and finally, the wedding was solemnized in Thebes, most royally, with needs most unwilling. Only the mother took the wine. And Ignorant, shortly how it stood, that he before had his father's slave, for which this wedding was against the law. And to.\nNor acceptable. Blood touching blood, caused great confusion in many lands and regions. Grounded and rooted in unhap and mischance, the fine concluding always in vengeance. As men have seen, clear experience and holy write record in sentence. Herod, falsely in his life, took his brother's wife. For she was fair and pleasant to his sight, and kept her still by force through his might. To her title, he had none. And for her sake, the holy man St. John, for his truth, lost his head. Therefore, I recommend every man beware, prince, lord, or king, that he eschew such weddings or risk losing happiness and grace. Taking example in all manner of things, of Edyppus, in Thebes crowned king. All this he wrought of ignorance. Full dark and blind, of his unfortunate chance. And if unwitting, he of Innocence, as you have heard, filled with such offense. For which he was punished and brought low.\nWhat are they worthy that she errs to know\nAnd from the knot. They did not abstain\nOf such sponsorship. To God and man unclean\nI cannot see. No more of this deceit\nDo you yourself. Be prudent and wise\nAnd Edyppus. Have among in my mind\nOf whom the wedding. Like as you may find\nUnhappy was. And passing odious\nInfortuned. And ungracious\nI am weary. And thereof more to write\nThe hateful process. Also to endite\nI pass over. In full intent\nFor Imynens. Was not there present\nNor Lucyna. Desired not to shine\nNe were there any. Of the Muses nine\nOf our accord. To make melody\nFor they sang not. By heavenly Harmony\nNeither Clyo. Nor Calyope\nOne of the sisters. In name three threes\nAnd they did. When Phyllis\nAscended up high. Above the sky\nTo be wedded. This lady virtuous\nTo her lord. The god Mercury\nAs Marcyan I named. De Capelle\nIn his book of weddings. Can you tell\nThere concluding. In this marriage\nThe Poet. That long ago was so sage\nThat this lady. Called Sapience\nI was wedded to Eloquence, it suited us well by heavenly pursuit, bound by a knot of alliance. But both, truly, of intent at the wedding in Thebes were present, which caused afterwards great adversity. For the final end of that solemnity was sorrow and woe and destruction. Utter ruin of this royal town. There is no man who can help it or soothe it. For a time in joy, they may flourish, but at the wedding, plainly to tell, the unfortunate followers were at the wedding of Edipus. Here was Cerberus, chief porter of Hades, and his father Hatred, present with his whole kindred. His wife also, with her brows black, and her daughter to cause sorrow, Hydra, and the Fury Tisiphone, Megera, and Allecto with labor and envy, Fear and Fraud, Treachery, Power, Indigence, and Need, and cruel Death in his rented clothes.\nwretchedness. complaine and rage\nFearful pale. darkened age\nCruel Mars. as only a tiger would\nBurning ire. of unkind blood\nFraternal hate. deeply set the root\nSafe only death. that there was no other boon\nAssured others. at the fine unwitting\nAll these unfortunates were at the wedding of Edyppus and Jocasta\nAll these people. were at this wedding new\nTo make the town. desolate and bare\nBut ever in Thebes. with its strong walls\nEdyppus reigns. many days and long\nAnd as my author writes. in plain words\nBy Jocasta. he had two sons\nEthyocles. and also Polymyte\nAnd in books. as various clerks write\nDaughters two. full beautifully to see\nOf which one was named Antygone\nAnd that other. was called was I mine\nOf her beauty. inly sovereign\nEdyppus always divided. of war and strife\nwith Jocasta. led a merry life\nUntil fortune. or his iniquity\nHad envy. of his prosperity\nFor when he shone. most rich in his renown\nFrom her wheel. she plunged him down\nOut of his joy, on a Sunday, she behaved contrary as was her wont, especially towards those who placed her advancement on earthly trust. One night, as this king, passing in great might, sat with the queen, his people were suddenly gone from his chamber, and he was unaware. Jocasta then beheld the old wounds on his feet, deeply printed, and turning her face, she burst out to weep. He might not see this secretly, and she at once fell into a fantasy. She pondered this thing more and more, and in her bed she sighed sore. When the king discovered her distress, he inquired of her the cause and occasion. He wanted to know in conclusion what was troubling her and why she appeared so distraught.\n\nMy lord, she said without further words,\nA small cause of this sudden rage,\nIs because in my tender age,\nI had a lord, whom I named Layus,\nA man right virtuous of this town,\nBy whom I had a son, so fair.\nLikely to have been his successor and heir, but because his dying words at his birth told that he should, if he had lived, slew his father. It might not have been anyone else. For which the king, his face to avoid, in haste commanded me to slew the child and have no remorse. I immediately commanded, without delay, certain men, upon pain of judgment, to execute the king's commandment as I gave them charge. And they went to a large forest adjacent to this country. There they found him, hanging from a tree, not carrying out the execution. They had such compassion that they left him there and returned home again, being in doubt and in no certainty. At her return, they told all this about the child, what had befallen him afterwards. Safe they said, hunters had found him, who led him away and unbound his feet. But to what cost they could not declare, which part is of mine evil fate. Ground and cause of my heavy heart.\nConsidered are the wounds that appear upon your feet, and I did not know what they meant. And one thing is certain, at my heart green, My lord, alas, but of new date. Lynceus, Laringas, was slain but late At a castle near this city. Upon your coming, in this city All this I weighed and reckoned into one Making my heart heavy as any stone So that I can counsel, none can read And with it, the king lifted up his head And uncovered, with sharp sighs, pain And all this thing, by order, began to appear Clearly and evidently Conceived well, and sore began to repent It was himself, Jocasta meant And when the queen, in manner, saw him plain By her gods, she began to constrain Him to show the cause of his affray And it was revealed, and make no delay Crop and rot, shortly why that he Entered first, into that country From when he came, and from what reign But he deceived her, as he had done before.\nTyll at last. He broke out suddenly to the queen and began a process: first, how he was wounded in the forest; then, for every detail, of his search; how Polybus the king took the cause of his abandonment and in what way; he took the road towards Thebes, as Apollo commanded, and of Fortune, how he was led there; where the Sphinx kept the mountain; and how slowly he also proceeded; certain lines: Layus at the castle gate; towards night, when it was very late; and to Thebes, he then began to make haste; to find out, the stock of his kindred, which approached him; for by process of his green youth, he found out well, by reckoning of his life, that she was both his mother and his wife. Therefore, all night and mourning on the morrow, between them two, a new sorrow arose, which to me was tedious to tell. For if I should dwell on it, it would occupy a long time. But you may read, in a Tragedy, Seneca's Edipus, the king of Thebes, and his full ending.\nHis doll. his mischeief and his complaining\nHow with sorrow and unworthy age,\nThis Edypus. filled with dotage,\nLost his wit. and his worldly delight,\nAnd how his sons had him in dispute,\nAnd of disdain, took no care of him,\nAnd books say, his eyes he wept out,\nAnd as my author likes to devise,\nAs his sons rebuked him and despised,\nOn a day, in a certain place,\nOut of his head, his eyes he began to race,\nAnd cast at them, he made none other response,\nAnd of malice, they traded them under foot,\nFully devoid. both of love and fear,\nAnd when Edypus, for misdeed was thus dead,\nWithin a pit. made in the earth low,\nOf cruelty, his sons have him thrown,\nWarrier than serpent or any tiger wood,\nOf cursed stock, comes unkind blood,\nAs in the story, you may read here before,\nAll by the rose, grow out of a thorn,\nThus of Edypus, when he was blind and old,\nThe wretched end. I have plainly told,\nFor which shortly, to man and child I rede.\nTo be warned and heed: Every man ought to do reverence to father and mother, or else face the consequences of their will. Of kindly right and conscience, Do honor and due reverence To father and mother, of whatever estate they be, Or certainly else, they should never thee. For whoever is not debonair To them in speech and demeanor, For to treat them fairly, Him to obey in honesty and fear, And to cherish them of what they had need I dare affirm, excepting none estate That he shall first be unfortunate In all his work, both at sea and land, And of what thing he takes on hand, Fortune froward and contrary, Wastes his good plainly and appears, Find plenty of contention, war and strife, Unhappy end and shortness of life, And gracelessness in what he has to do, Hated of God and of man also. Therefore, no man be reckless But make your mirror of Ethyocles And his brother, called Polymyte, Who in such things have greatly to atone, As you shall hear, of them how it unfolds.\nAnd when we descended down this hill\nAnd I passed here, the low valley\nI shall begin. the remainder of my tale\n\u00b6 Explicit prima pars istius Codicilli.\nPass by the thorp of Boughton on the blee\nBy my children, I began to see\nThrough the sun, it fully shone clear\nOf the clock, that it drew to nine\nAnd saw also, the silver drops shine\nOf the dew, like pearls on the green\nVaporized up into the air a loft\nWhen Zepherus, with his blowing soft\nThe weather made lusty, smooth and fair\nAnd rightly tempered, was the wholesome air\nThe same hour, all the pilgrims, riding round about\nIn my tale, when I began to proceed\nRehearsing forth, as it was in deed\nWhen Edyppus, was buried and grave\nHow his sons, the kingdom for to have\nAmongst themselves, by full of mortal hate\nFor the crown, to debate\nWhich of them, justly shall succeed\nAnd the septre, of the town possess\nAdversely not, neither to right nor wrong\nBut each of them, to make her party strong\nAnd his quarrel, proudly to sustain\nFrom those hearts was deduced clean\nOf brotherhood. the faithful Alyance\nFalse covetise, so made them at distance\nFully working, into destruction\nAnd ruin of this noble town\nSo hot burned, the hatred envy\nOf both two, through pompous surrendering\nThat neither would, plainly in a point\nOther forborne, they stood in such desire\nHow had they, of birth been beforehand\nTill of the town, the noble Citizens\nLordly barons, with many worthy lord\nSailed away to make them accord\nAnd to set them, in quiet and in peace\nBut for his part, this Ethyocles\nAsserted began, that he was first born\nFor which reason, he ought to go forth\nIn the city, to be crowned king\nThe contradiction of the two brothers\nSince by law, there was no hindrance\nFor unto him, longeth the heritage\nBy descent, and by title of age\nBut Polymite, of full high disdain\nOpenly replied against\nAnd for his part, said in particular\nReason was none, that he should have all\nRegalely and dominion,\nAnd the lordship. hole of the town,\nHe rightly possessed not an inch outside the City,\nLived in exile. and in poverty,\nConcluding fully, without fear or dread,\nRather than suffer it, he would be dead,\nAnd thus, alas, through her envious strife,\nAt great misfortune, as you shall hear,\nBut that time, the lords all I fear,\nDid busily act. their diligence,\nBy great advice. of full high prudence,\nTo set them in quiet and in rest,\nCourteously treating them. plainly for the best,\nTo leave her strife. of wisdom and reason,\nA concede. to some conclusion,\nWhich to both might most avail,\nThat finally through her governance,\nThe lords all, being thus present,\nHave brought them to be of one assent,\nOf one heart. as brother unto brother,\nEach of them. to rule after other.\nThe covenant of the two brothers,\nYear by year as it comes about,\nSo that the town. shall absent him out,\nFully that year. and himself give,\nBy his manhood. and his chivalry.\nHaunte himself in deeds merciful,\nwhile his brother in his royal seat,\nHolds his scepter, the city to govern;\nAnd when the year, his course has run a year,\nAnd is come out, he shall have repeat,\nTo reign in Thebes, like lord and heir,\nThereto receive fully his dignity,\nWhile that the other, voids the city,\nPatiently taking, his adventure,\nTill he again, his honor may recover;\nThus exchange, every year they shall,\nHe who ascends, he who has a fall;\nThey must obey, from heart and take it well,\nLike as the turn, resorts of the wheel.\nFor this was, whole the composition,\nThe words of the composition,\nBy twain the brethren, and agreement,\nFully knit up, by great authority;\nTherefore the goddesses, by oath of sacrifice,\nNever after to grutch, nor to vary,\nBut accomplish, shortly and not tarry,\nLike as you ordain, enrolled in the town,\nFrom point to point, made memorable.\nBut older first, by reason of his age,\nEthyocles had the advantage,\nTo reign beforehand, to wear a crown.\nPolymytes hastening him out of town that year, it cannot be anyone else while his brother sat in his royal seat, richly. Upon Fortune's wheel and rode forth, armed brightly, this Polymytes. Truly, as I read, he himself alone, on a royal steed, without a guide, all day long, keeping the high way in his heart, having suspicion of his brother, of malice and treason, lest he pursued through his false unkind blood, to have him dead for covetousness of good, that he alone might have possession during his life, fully of the town. For which, in haste, having no companion, Polymytes began to draw him by a forest, joining to the sea, lining right nothing, the sight of the country full of hills and high mountains, craggy rocks, and but few plains, wondrous dreadful and loathsome of passage, and therewith all, full of beasts' rage. Holding his way, his heart held nothing light, weary and worn, till it drew to night, and all day long, beholding everyone.\nHe neither saw castle tower nor town\nThis thing grieved him full sore\nAnd suddenly, the sea began to roar\nWind and tempest hastily arose\nThe rain poured down in full grimy way\nThat man and beast were afraid\nAnd neared madness, as it seemed\nBy the woeful sounds\nAnd Tygers, Bears, and Lions\nWhich for refuge, saved themselves\nEach in haste, drew unto his cause\nBut Polymyte, in this huge tempest\nAlas, the while he finds no refuge\nNor shelter, saw no where any succor\nUntil it was almost midnight hour\nThe cloud void, in heaven did appear\nA large space, that the stars clear\nSo that this knight, out of a large forest\nApproaching, came to the land of Arge\nKing Adrastus, it was called, of great building\nA manly man, rich and wonder sage\nAnd Ronne, somewhat in age\nBorn of the isle, that is called Clyson\nAnd once son, of the king Chalon.\nAnd he was chosen, in story, as was fitting for his wit. In his tender youth, of all Argos, to be crowned king, chief of all Greece, by record of writing, not by dispute or succession, but only by free election. Behold Argos, the scepter in his hand, most worthy of all Greece's land. Loved and feared for wisdom and justice, and as the story clearly shows, this worthy king had two daughters. The eldest was named Argive, Deiphyle and Adrastus. I named the second, and Adrastus, just as it is found. This worthy king had no son to succeed him after him. For this reason, he was troubled in heart and deep in thought throughout his life. But his trust and hope remained, by alliance, brought about by the means of his two daughters. They would release him from his pain through the comfort of a high marriage. And truly, yet, he was still high in spirit.\nHe was troubled by occasion. In a dream, Adrastus saw a wild boar and a fierce lion. These beasts, in their rage, were to possess his two daughters, bound by marriage. Within a short time, within a certain day, they would bring his heart into full great affray. But something in the south, that destiny had shaped, was a marvel. A man could escape his fate. And Polytes, whom I spoke of late, with the tempest, was beaten and all destroyed. By grace alone, the city had been saved. At that time, Adrastus, of noble degree, held his royal seat. The troubling night, dark and full obscure, had brought this knight only by adventure. Through the city, enclosed with a wall, he came to the palaces, chief and principal. There the king, in his chamber aloft, lay in his bed, sleeping so softly.\nAll his people had chambers like fortune. Perhaps some had shape\nThe very same time. Because it was so late\nAnd casually. No porter at the gate\nAs it should have been. For the nones\nAnd in a porch. By the altar of square stones\nFully enclosed, envious\nWhere the domes and the pleas of the town\nWere executed. And laws of the king\nAnd there this knight, without further delay\nWearing and mounting, from his steed a light\nHanging the rein. In all the haste he might\nOn his arm. To ensure himself\nAnd laid him down. And began to sleep\nAs it seemed. That time for the best\nAnd while he lay. Suddenly, a knight riding\nThe worthiest in the world living\nCourteous, lowly, and righteous\nAs my author says. Called Tydius\nEureus in arms. And manly in working\nOf his birth. Son to the king\nOf Calydon, a land of great renown\nAnd he, alas, out of that kingdom\nAs Scace of Thebes writes the manner\nOf all that he to him bore no malice.\nFor on a day, as they were hunting in a forest for heart and hind,\nSo he stood under a green yew,\nAnd carelessly let his arrow slip,\nHe struck his brother, called Meleagant,\nThrough mortal sort, his hand was deceived,\nFor which he was banished and exiled\nAccording to the law, narrowly setting his charge\nAnd for this reason, he first came to Argos,\nInto the porch where Polymytus slept,\nEither he took no heed or he kept none,\nThe same night, hideously beset,\nWith the tempest, of thunder wind and rain,\nAnd filled also, annoyance and great damage,\nThrough the forest, holding his passage,\nAs Polymytus had done before,\nIn peril often, likely to be lost,\nWith beasts' rage, set on every side,\nUntil by grace, without any guide,\nHe rode through Argos, the great mighty town,\nStrait to the palaces and the chief dwelling,\nLike as I told, where Polymytus lay,\nAnd at his coming, made a great fear,\nFor he was blind, through darkness of the night,\nAnd him to guide, he found no light,\nWhen he came in, neither by torch nor by candle.\nTyll he unwarily entered the porch and would have taken his herbage but Polymyte suddenly started up in a rage, awakening as I heard with the nearness of his proud steed. And first of all, when he beheld a knight armed on his breast a shield and turned his manner towards his array, his face expressing very real anger. Upon his horse he started and cruelly began to inquire where he came from or what he did there, and bade him hastily give an answer and swear it by the gods. And Tydeus, in full humble wise, answered again, speaking in truth. He said in earnest that due to high distress from the tempest and the dark night, he had driven there like a valiant knight, in need only and by necessity and under great constraint from his adversary. Take lodging where you can, he said, and in this court therefore he had stopped, thinking of no outrage or harm to anyone, nor meaning any damage. But Polymyte, out of malice and high pride, told him shortly that he should not stay any longer there, even if he had sworn it.\nFor I said he took it up beforehand and would keep it throughout this night. I say plainly. Despite all your might.\nTydeus: That is no courtesy. But rather villainy.\nIf you heed. You seem a gentle knight. And I suppose. You have no title to this lodging. By way of inheritance. More than I have. For all your fierce rage. And yet it shall not be a disease. Until tomorrow. That does me ease.\nOf gentleness. Only by your leave.\nTo suffer me. It shall little grieve.\nBut ever the more. Tydeus spoke fairly.\nPolymyte was froward and contrary. And shortly said. It gains nothing to strive.\nThat of force. He must divide blue.\nOr utterly between them both. This thing to try. He must have a do.\nTydeus seeing no better men.\nFull like a knight. In steel armed clean.\nWithout abode. Fasts games him speed.\nWound lightly. For to take his stead.\nAnd thus. These knights pompous and elate.\nFallen at debate.\nAnd as they rode together on horseback, Tydeus and Polymyte struck each other for her lodging. Each one broke his spear first, and then, full of pride, they rode together. These mighty champions, in their fury, rode like tigers or lions. The palaces shook as they hurtled. King Adrastus woke up out of sleep, and he called his chamberlains and through the court, he commanded all his knights to descend and see and report what this wonder was in the court by night, and who they saw, two strange knights fighting in bright armor and in thick melee, without a judge, they were greatly astonished and dismayed by this uncouth thing. They told it to the king, and Adrastus, because of the darkness, left his chamber with many torches and descended into the court. All his men were standing around, wondering and marveling at these knights. And Adrastus put them first before the others.\nHem commanding, like a gentle king,\nTo leave their straight and cease from fighting,\nAnd entered in with a knightly look,\nFirst from them, both his swords he took,\nAffirming also, as to his fancy,\nIt was a rage and a great folly,\nSo willfully, their lives to part,\nWithout judge, their quarrel to depart,\nAnd specifically, in the dark night,\nWhen neither of other could have a sight,\nCharging them, on pain of their life,\nTo desire and still of their strife,\nAnd Tydeus, in all the haste he might,\nFull humbly, from his steed a light,\nAnd right meekly, with cheer and content,\nPut him in the governance of Adrastus, in all manner of thing,\nAnd Polymytes also, made no delaying,\nTo a light also, and would not withsee\nThe kings bidding, lowly to obey,\nSo as he ought, with due reverence,\nAnd as they stood, both in his presence,\nHe began to inquire, first of her estate,\nThe cause also, why they were at debate,\nOf her countries truly, and her age,\nHe asked also, touching her lineage,\nBy what descent, what stock they were born.\nAnd Tydeus answered plainly, made no lessening. He was the son and rightful heir to the king of Calydon, and of Thebes, the great queen Jocasta, his mother was, without any doubt. But of his father, once king and lord, he spoke not a word, only because he did not want to shame him, if I should not please. His father and brother were both two, whom he was very loath to mention. The king also would not compel him, out of gentleness, but begged him without blame, to speak of his birth. For all the causes and matters concerning his kin, he knew full well, he was forcing him to do, as clear report stated. Enforcing him to do comfort with all his might and his best pain, this manly king said to these two knights, before him as they stood.\nHe knew that they were of noble blood,\nRegarding her kindred,\nAnd he hastily summoned his officers,\nTo lead the strange knights through his palaces,\nTo chambers of estate,\nEach by himself, to take his ease,\nAnd every thing, in truth, that might please them,\nWas offered them, like their estates,\nAnd when they had been divided her plates,\nThey were given green leaves and her Sabbaths,\nHer armor emptied and her haberdashery,\nTwo mantles were brought to them,\nFringed with pearls and rich stones sewn,\nOf cloth of gold and velvet crimson,\nRichly furred with ermine,\nTo wrap them in, against the cold morning,\nAfter the rage of her night's sorrow,\nTo take their rest till the sun rises,\nAnd then the king, in wise prudence,\nFirst of all, showed no recklessness,\nThe knights' hearts,\nEach one to another, as true as any steel,\nDuring her life, both in work and deed,\nBound by a knot, in brotherhood,\nAnd Adrastus, the worthy and famous king.\nA feast was made, rich and plentiful for these knights, and for himself, and after the meal, this noble king sent, as a sign of gentleness, his daughters to make the knights cheerful. They came from so far and, in truth, like Lucifer the star, gladdened the morning at his rising. So the ladies, at their coming, brought with them the clear streams of their eyes, goodly appearance and womanly manners, containment, and excellent beauty. They brought joy to the court for the freshness of their heavenly charms. So agreeable were they to the strangers at their entrance that they thought it a thing celestial, urging them in full knightly fashion to rise against them. And as they met, with humble manners, they observed her carefully, conveying them to her seating place. But truly, I have less to recount and remember. I will not recount here the manner of her daily behavior. I well know that the god Cupid, by the influence of his mighty hand, was at work.\nAnd the fervor of his fiery brown hair\nFirst met Fortune, who so well\nThat his arrow of gold and not steel\nI have pierced the knights' hearts twain\nThrough the breast with such a lusty pain\nSharp as spear or lance it remained\nDeeply fixed, the point of remembrance\nWhich may not lightly be raised again\nAnd thus in joy, they drove forth the way\nIn play and revelry, for the knight's sake\nAnd toward night, they took their chambers\nAt due time, as their father bade\nAnd on their way, the knights had them led\nRespectfully, they went anon to repair\nTo their lodging in a full stately tower\nAssigned to them by the herberge\nAnd after spices, plainly and the wine\nIn cups great, wrought of fine gold\nWithout tarrying, they went straight to bed\nTouching their rest, where they slept or none\nDo lovers know, by experience, such a thing?\nFor it is not declared in my book\nBut as I find, the king all night woke\nThe story is full of thought in her heart. It speaks of the sorrow and fantasies of a knight. First, the great worthiness and comeliness of these knights, their lusty youth, strength, and manhood, and how they came from royal blood. All this he pondered deeply, having doubt in his heart between two, whether he should make an alliance between his daughters and the two knights, for one thing, as his heart was constrained by the remembrance of his vision. I mentioned earlier the lion and the wild boar. It is not necessary to repeat it further. Constantly in his fantasy, he considered what it might clearly signify in this dark dream. But on the morrow, Adrastus arose and took the right way to the temple, and began to pray devoutly from his book to the gods to reveal the meaning of his dream. And they bade him return home and observe in the knights' shields the fell beasts painted from the fields.\nWhiche shall to him clearly make declaration of his dream. In the night, Adrastus urged him rightly. Hanging upon hooks, the beasts raged with mortal hooks, and Polymyte was tightly embraced in the hide of a fierce lion. Tydeus, above his haberyon, had a shield wrought from the bristles of a wild boar. According to the story, these beasts were wrought and fought upon her banners, which were displayed broadly when they should fight. When the king had a sight of this at his reprieve, in his heart he was full glad, with a face both demure and sad, with his lords about him. To the temple, he led these knights. And when they had, with all the old rites, performed her observances, they returned to the court. In a hall richly and well adorned, this worthy king, of a generous heart, made a solemn and royal feast, which in delights certainly excelled.\nBut it was vain. Every court to tell\nHer strange sews and her subtleties.\nI let it pass over. And after the meal,\nAdrastus took aside the knights two,\nAnd like a prudent man, he began,\n\"Sir's,\" he said, \"I thought it not new,\nThat first, by good order, and afterwards,\nThrough fate's pursuit, and by fortune's work,\nHow it was turned, first brought into this land,\nBoth two, but now this last night,\nOf woes coming, I am glad and light,\nFirst in myself, shortly to express,\nWhen I consider and see the likeness,\nOf your persons, with the circumstances,\nAnd hold the manner, of your governance,\nSeeing full well, where I should feign,\nYou likely will be, hereafter to attain,\nThe great estate, of habitation of good,\nThrough your birth, and your royal blood,\nYou may not fail, but you have erred.\nFor you are both manly and rightly strong\nAnd to set your hearts at more rest\nMy purpose is, I hope for the best\nSo that in you be no variance\nTo make a knot and by alliance\nA twix you and my daughters two\nif your hearts accord will thereto\nAnd for, I am fully in despair\nTo succeed, for to have an heir\nTherefore you shall have, possession\nDuring my life of half this region\nForthwith in hand, and whole after my day\nThere is no man that shall say nay\nAnd truly after, when I am grave\nEach of you shall have his part\nOf this kingdom, as I have provided\nThis to be seen, it shall be divided\nBetween you two, every man's sight equally\nSo that each of you rejoice in his right\nAnd by your wit, you shall the land amend\nAnd of manhood, knightly it defend\nAgainst our enemies and our mortal foe\nAnd for the days passed and gone\nOf my desires and my lusty youth\nI am fully set, to make account.\nThat you should have, like mine opinion,\nThe governance of this region, to this end I seem to suggest,\nFor the best, you govern, and I live in rest,\nFully to fulfill the lust of my pleasures, hunt and hawk,\nIn woods and rivers, whenever there is pleasure,\nAnd for this, I shall have pleasure,\nAnd for having none other attendance,\nTo nothing but to my ease,\nFor which, if it agrees and pleases,\nThat I have said, to you who are wise,\nAnd agreeing, to your eyes,\nDelay not, but in plain words,\nGive answer again,\nAnd when Adrastus had finished his tale,\nPolymites, a polite and timely man to King Adrastus,\nWith head full lowly inclined,\nAs one who was a very gentle knight,\nWith all his power and full might,\nHe humbly thanked the king,\nTouching his forehead, of so high a thing,\nAnd for his part, said he would assent,\nFully of heart, never to repent,\nTo all that ever the king has said,\nAnd Polymites was also well pleased,\nIn the story, as it is comprehended.\nAnd they both consented\nThe kings will, to fulfill in deed\nFrom point to point, and thereupon proceed\nWherever they win or lose\nTydeus chose\nOf gentleness and courtesy, which was most\nTo his fancy,\nOf the sisters, to have to wife\nAnd he, in truth, had chosen Argive\nThat eldest was, full womanly to see\nAnd T.\nOf her beauty, most sovereign excellent\nAnd Adrastus throughout his land has sent\nFor his lords and his barons\nTo be present at the marriage\nOf the knights, and make no delaying\nAnd they each one came at his bidding\nIn goodly wise, meek and full benign\nAgainst the day that he had assigned\nAnd there came, full many lusty knights\nFull well seen, and many bright ladies\nFrom every cost and many fresh squires\nThe story says, and many commoners\nTo behold the great Royalty\nAnd the manner, of this solemnity\nThe prince's sign.

I cannot see\nBut well I know. the new fame ran\nThis meanwhile. with full swift passage\nTo Thebes. of this marriage\nAnd by report true. and not I feigned\nThe issue thereof. the eyes have attained\nMy author writes. of Ethyocles\nConcerning the honor. and the great increases\nOf Polymytes. highly magnified\nAnd how that he. newly was allied\nWith Adrastus. in the land of Argos\nThe which thing. greatly he began to fear\nDreading inwardly. that this marriage\nShall after turn. to his damage\nSore musing. and casting up and down\nThe great power. and the high renown\nOf Adrastus. who held all the power. subjected to his hand\nLest that he for Polymytes sake\nWould upon him. a new war make.\nBut if he, like the agreement at the set time, delivered the town to his brother by bond, sworn by the same convenants, and assured beforehand that which he was not in purpose for holding, but from his heart cast off, and thereupon desired no longer to tarry, but in accordance with his desire, shaped remedies. First, he sent for his next allies, in whom he had most affiance, for his lords who governed his kingdom, to come to him immediately. And when they were present, each one he said plainly, hoping for the best, that his heart would never lie in rest but in sorrow and fear until his brother was utterly dead, so that he alone in Thebes in his royal seat might reign in quiet. He meant himself, unperturbed, and of Polytes his brother, and at this counsel, he found written, three people were present, some of whom were faithful and true, and some also who could change anew.\nAnd other things between us two could cleverly conceal under a colorful guise. The first spoke above all things, The coming of truth should endure long to a king, Of his word. not variable, But plain and whole, as a constant table, For truth first, without any doubt, Is chief pillar, that many a king sustains, In joy and honor, to lead his life. Nota How truth is preferred, above all other books, before kings, I take record, of prudent Nehemiah, That worthy king, for all her great pride, With all her power and dominion, Having reward, in comparison, The truths might, truth's worthiness, For as Esdras plainly does express, Who takes heed, in the same place, The influence truly, and the grace, Of truth alone, this old Nehemiah, Grants him license to rebuild, The new walls of Jerusalem. Salomon, Truth and mercy pass under a king from all adversity. Chaucer doubleness should not be in a king.\nThis is the truth. A king is the chief treasure of every realm. For Solomon writes that things, truth and mercy, are linked in a chain. Preserve a king, like his degree, from all scheming and adversity. Alas, therefore, that any doubleness, variance, or insincerity, change of word or mutability, fraud or deceit, other instability should have dominion over a king, to cause his destruction. From a king's redacted story, see how many have been overthrown through her falsity from fortune's wheel. For unto God it pleases never a delay A king to be double-minded, for it may happen that the world is often blended Full oft through the sleight of her working. But this is the truth. God sees every thing right as it is. For there may be no cloud to veil His sight, truth to hide or darkness by dissent, By false engineering lying in wait As a serpent, to undermine. But at last, it will clearly shine Whoever denies, she is his bright beams.\nFor it is true in kingdoms and realms,\nBear up and conservatory,\nFrom all mischief and prudent therapy,\nTo God above, who so desires to see,\nTo keep a king in prosperity,\nOn every side, as I affirm,\nFor which kings and lords beware,\nYour behests, justly to hold,\nAnd think how Thebes, with its old wall,\nWas destroyed so plainly, this now less,\nFor the duplicity of Ethylces,\nWho, after much debate,\nDid not consult those who were both true and wise,\nBut delighted not in working according to their advice,\nBut left truth and set his fancy,\nTo be governed by false flattery,\nThat made him think he was a knight,\nAnd to shield in force more than in right,\nDuring his life, lordship of the town,\nAnd not to lose, his possession,\nFor no bond nor heir made before,\nBut late his brother, blown in a horn,\nWhere he pleased, or piped in a red coat,\nThis was the counsel, plain and the advice,\nOf such as did not wish to speak the truth.\nBut falsely flattered. With her smooth words,\nEthyocles was inclined,\nWhoever there at law or wept,\nLike her counsel, possession to keep,\nWhoever said nay or grumbled thereagain,\nHim to the contrary, he thought was in vain.\nBut in this while, the shining sun\nHad brought the year out from whence it began,\nEthyocles reigned in Thebes\nThe twelve signs round about were shown,\nSince Ethyocles, by Juste's reckoning,\nIn Thebes was crowned lord and king,\nHolding the scepter and the diadem,\nWhich time was full complete and the space\nOf covenant. He should vacate his place,\nAnd Polymytes also, his journey make\nTowards Thebes, possession to take\nOf due title. But if he had erred,\nWhich thought in truth the year was long,\nOf his exile, or it came about,\nAnd because in his heart, a manner of doubt\nLest in his brother, there were falsehood found,\nTo acquit himself, like one bound\nTo Adrastus, he began to declare his heart.\nBeaching him. This matter to address\nAnd thereupon, to give his counsel soon\nRegarding his right. What was best to do\nWhere it was. Best to go or to stay\nOr like a knight. Manfully to ride\nHimself alone. And make no message\nFor the challenge. Of his rightful heritage\nWithin Thebes. Either by peace or strife\nAnd thereupon. To jeopardize his life\nThus was he set. For all his fearsome brother\nBut Adrastus truly, thought another\nBetter was to send. Than himself to go\nLest he be trapped. Among his mortal foes\nHaving his brother. Suspected in the case\nThat by fraud. Or by some false\nHe would work. To his destruction\nIf he were bold. To enter the town\nFor which he bade him. Prudently take heed\nFull concluding.

Like as he made his oath\nAnd when he knew. How his purpose goes\nThen to work and proceed.\nAdrastus wisely began to speak and while they were discussing this matter, Tydeus took it upon himself to deliver the message of his brother Polymytus. Tydeus with a manly countenance said utterly, for his brother's sake, that he would undertake this message with the whole temperament of the embassy, whether it was willful or unfortunate. He would not spare anything that befell him, but Adrastus and Polymytus were contrary to this opinion. They honestly said, as they thought was right, since he was so well approved knight and descended from such worthy blood, that they would not, for any earthly good, put Thebes and the kingdom in such jeopardy. But all this thing availed him nothing, for he wanted to know how dear it was to be bought. Taking leave first of all the states, he armed himself in mail and sure plates and set himself forth on his journey. Who made sorrow but Deyphile? The sorrow of Deyphile, who went to Thebes with bitter tears, often swooning in the place.\nTryst and mourning. When she saw that he mounted his steed,\nInwardly her grief increased. Seeing her lord ride forth alone,\nThis worthy Tydeus, in all haste, the story tells us,\nHe sped him on, making no delays,\nIn a few days, the high towers of Thebes he saw,\nAnd entered into the city,\nWisely inquiring where the palaces stood,\nAnd like a knight, there he rode straight,\nMarked full well, in many men's sight,\nLike Mars himself, in steel-armed brightness,\nUntil he reached the chief dungeon,\nWhere the king held his mansion,\nAnd through the palaces with a knightly look,\nInto the hall. The right way he took,\nFrom his steed, when he lighted down,\nNot afraid, but bold as a lion,\nWhere the king, with lords, sat in a great rout,\nHe entered, most manfully of courage,\nTo execute the fine of this message,\nAnd, as he thought, convenient and due,\nHe greeted the king with royal excellence.\nIn good wise, give him audience And not disdain, neither in port nor cheer, Since he was come as a messenger From Polytes, his own brother dear, Beginning his tale thus: \"How wisely and knightly did us time [dote], My purpose is briefly to express The effect only, as in sentence, Of the message. Why that I am sent, It would be in vain, long process to make But of my matter, the very ground to take In eschewing, of prolixity, And void away all superfluidity, Since yourself best ought to understand The cause fully, and conceive thence The intent of my meaning, Of righteousness, longing to a king, First consider, if you heed When Edypus, the old king was dead, How yourself and your brother blue For the crown contagiously began to strive As mortal foemen, by full great hatred, Which of you two first should succeed, Till that you were by means recalled To reign, and he to be exiled.\nOut of this town, for a year's space, and then again, return to your place to reign as king, and you, vacate it, so that your turn, by process, comes about. Each of you, endure patiently the changing of his adventure, who were put out or stood in his estate. Therefore, make no debate, like the convenant and the convention enrolled up by lords of this town, which, for reason, may not be denied. And since you have, for a year, occupied me, Polymite requests that you acquit yourselves, as a true knight, in avoiding mortal war and strife, since you have had a prorogative. As eldest brother, you are sworn to reign, and it seems to me how that you are sworn to keep and make no delay. Hold adversity like a prudent king. For truth is more in comparison, than all the treasure of your region. More acceptable, both to God and man, than all riches that you reckon can.\nIn a hurry. Let there be no sloth. Go forth yourself. Justly to your brother. Avoid this city And let him reign in his royalty The crown of Thebes. for a year To praise and magnify your high renown And may none other but you be said To have you. Justly to your brother This is the entire effect. Of all that I will say Answering, what do you desire to send again?\n\nWhen Tydeus had told his tale\nEthyocles. Trust and wonder pale\nHis countenance first. in manner had restrained\nDissembling. under color feigned\nShowing a cheer. in manner debonair\nTo his intent. wonderfully contrary\nInwardly in his heart. wood and furyous\nTurning his face. towards Tydeus\nBut he began to rage. and at last broke out\nAnd even thus. to him he spoke\n\nI have great marvel, said Ethocles, I have great marvel, quoth he in my thought\nOf the message. which thou hast brought\nThat my brother. as thou hast revealed\nDesires so in Thebes. to be crowned.\nHaving received reward, the great abundance and sufficiency that he now has, from the king of Argos, it seems to me that he should scarcely ask for lordship or dominion in the bonds of this small town, since he reigns so freshly in his prime, surpassing all his predecessors by new increase through fortune. Whereof in heart, I am right glad and light, fully trusting, if I had need, I would find him, as a brother, faithfully true and kind, supposing, plainly evermore, of this realm he set but little store, nor cast him out for such a short while as for a year, his brother to exile, to live in poverty and great distress, he will not allow it from his great noblesse. It were no token of brotherhood but a sign rather of hatred, to interrupt, of my possession, of this little poor realm. All that he spoke, whoever could advise, was filled with contempt, rooted in his heart. As it seems, the story can teach you this.\nBy the surplus of his speech, he could not longer refrain, but plainly said, \"I mean this, Polymite and I. There is no bond, nor fate I made that may avail him as he claims to have the governance of this city. Nor year nor day, I will truly let him have it, if I may, that he shall not, by title of no bond, rejoice in Thebes, half a foot of land. Let him keep, all that he has won. For I purpose, as I have begun, to reign in Thebes, henceforth all my life. Despite all of them who strive against me, I will rule in contempt, Or the counsel that he may call. Let him be sure and know this right well, his maneuvering. I dread neither a deal. And truly, as to my assessment, it shows well that you were not wise. But supplying, with a manner of rage, you took on this surquoisal message and presumed to do such high offense, So boldly to speak in my presence. But all I fear, avail shall right nought. For the tidings, that you have brought.\nShall he then be but discontent? He would be better to have peace Rather than folly and presumption Against me, to seek occasion While I live, and there to hold my hand As I said first, he wins no land For finally, I do understand That while the wall of this town may stand, They shall first be beaten down full low And all the towers to the earth I throw Or he in Thebes have anything to do Here is all, return and say so to him When Tydeus saw the king's furious ire, With anger he set a fire Full of displeasure and malice, And conceiving also the great felony In his apartment, like one possessed\nThis worthy knight, a little while stood, Sad and demure, or he would have spoken But at last, thus he spoke again\nLertes said he, I conceive anew The knightly answer of Tydeus again to the king About thy counsel is untrue I dare to say, and vow at least Nor thou art faithful of thy promise That thou hast made beforehand.\nAnd yet, assuredly, you shall be left or loathe this. I say briefly, hold it for no fare. All shall turn to your damage. Trust it well, and in full cruel wise, all of Greece's land shall rise to avenge and manly to the redress, the great untruth and high falsehood, which you have wrought against your brother. It shall fully dearly be paid after this is bought. And truly in deed, as you shall learn, Lyng Adrastus will meddle in this matter, and all the lords about him in envy, those bound to his subjection, princes, dukes, and many a noble knight, in sustaining your brother's right, shall on a day with spear and shield, against the gathered, in a field, unrightfully prove that you are false and double-dealing, of your promise, attempted and also outrayed. And leave me well, it shall not be delayed. But in all the haste, execute in deed, like your desert, you shall have your reward. For God above, of his righteousness.\nI shall quickly rectify the errors and reverse all such conclusions and extortions. For this reason, falsity shall not prevail against truth to maintain battle. Wrong is crooked, both halt and lame, and here before you, in my brother's name, I, who am his next ally in his quarrel, will shortly defeat it. Fully armed, with all my whole intent, and the lords who are present here, I request of your worthiness to speak the truth and bear witness when the time comes. Justly record how your king falsely discords from his steed due to false variance. Consider how you, of faith and lying, are bound each one, you may not go therefor to obey and serve both. This coming year, now following, as to your lord and your true king, Polyte, though he be now absent, by just accord made in parliament, at your discretion, which sits here assembled, engrossed up as it is right well known, and enrolled only for witness, in your registers, to void all falseness.\nThat none of you vary may not be new, but if he is untrue, for which I advise, you yourself acquit. Let no one, but atone without further delay, and fetch home your king, and manfully bring him in, and let no sloth be found. To put him justly in possession, this is my counsel in conclusion. As Tydeus had his message said, like a charge laid upon him, he who desires, no longer there to tarry, from the king he turned his face. Not astonished, nor fear in his heart, but proudly, he laid his hand on his sword, and in contempt, who was left or loath, a stern passage, through the hall he went, through the court, and manfully took his seat, and out of Thebes, he hastened himself. Encouraging him, till he was at large, and sped him forth, toward the land of Arges. Thus I leave him, ride forth a while, while I return again my style, to the king, who in the hall stood, and among his lords, furious and mad.\nIn his heart, filled with wrath and ill-paid,\nRemembering specifically the proud, disputatious difference,\nWhile he sat upon his royal seat,\nDetermined to avenge himself cruelly,\nWhatever might befall,\nAnd in his anger, he called out,\nChief constable of his chivalry,\nSummoning him urgently to come,\nWith all the worthy chosen of his household,\nWho, as he knew, were most manful and bold,\nIn all haste, Tydeus set out,\nTo confront Tymdareus or leave his land,\nThreatening him with pain of life and lessening of head,\nWithout mercy, to be dead at once,\nAnd there were fifty knights in number,\nMy author says, unexpectedly they came upon him,\nEach armed, in mail and thick steel,\nAnd with all, they mounted their horses,\nWell-armed, they rode forth,\nBut treacherously Ethiocles had laid a bush in the valley,\nIntending to slay Tydeus,\nBy another path, lying in wait,\nSecretly, so that no man might see them,\nOnly for treason and felony they hurried forth all day.\nOf cruel malice. to halt his way,\nThrough a forest. all in agreement,\nFull cowardly, to lay a bushment,\nUnder a hill. at a narrow passage,\nTo fall on him. at an advantage,\nThe same way. that Tydeus drew,\nAt that mountain. where Spyx was a slave,\nHe nothing saw in his open vision,\nOf this compassed. conspiracy,\nBut Innocent. and like a gentle knight,\nRode on forth. till it drew to night,\nSole by himself, without company,\nHaving no man to advise or guide,\nBut at last. lifting up his head,\nTowards even and began to take heed,\nIn mind of his way. right as any line,\nThought he saw again the moon shine,\nShields fresh. and plates glowed bright,\nThe which surrounded. cast a great light,\nImagining. in his fantasy,\nThere was treason. and conspiracy,\nWrought by the king. his journey to hinder,\nAnd of all that. he nothing considered,\n\nBut well assured. in his manly heart,\nHow Tydeus outraged fifty knights, it lay in wait for him to slay,\nHe listened not once. aside to die.\nBut he kept going. His shield on his chest,\nAnd cast his spear. Manfully he stood,\nThe first one he met, through the body, proudly he struck,\nHe fell dead. Chief master of them all,\nThen they attacked him from every side,\nBut Tydeus, through his high renown,\nHis bloody sword let about him glide,\nSlew and killed, on every side,\nIn his anger and in his mortal hand,\nThat marvel was, he might so sustain\nAgainst them all, in every half surrounded,\nBut his sword was so sharp, I sharpened,\nHis foot found it unswettened,\nBut alas, he was light on feet,\nBy force grounded, in full great distress,\nBut of knighthood and of great prowess,\nUp he rose, despite his feet,\nAnd as they came, he slew them one by one,\nLike a lion rampant in his rage,\nAnd on this hill, he found a narrow passage,\nWhich he took, of full high prudence,\nAnd like a boar, standing at his defense,\nAs his foes proudly assailed,\nOn the plain, he made their blood to rage.\nAll enemy that the soil was red\nNow here and there. as they filled did\nThat lay here one. & there lay two or three\nSo merciless. in his ferocity\nThat day he was. upon them found\nAnd atones. his enemies to confound\nWhereas he stood. this mighty camp was found\nBeside him saw. with water turned down\nAn huge stone. large long and square\nAnd suddenly. or that they were aware\nAs it had lain there for the nones\nUpon his foot. he rolled it suddenly\nThat ten of them. went to wreak\nAnd the remainder. amazed drew a bake\nFor one by one. they went to misfortune\nAnd finally he brought to outrance\nEach one of them. Tydeus as blue\nThat none but one. was left of them alive\nHimself I hurt. and I wounded keen\nThrough his armor. bleeding on the green\nThe slain knights. in compass rode about\nIn the vale. slain all the route\nWhich pitifully. again the moon gaped\nFor none of them. shortly might escape\nBut dead each one. as they had deserved\nSafe one except. the one was reserved\nBy Tydeus, reporting to the king concerning the knights and their journey: how each one met his end and was sworn to tell the truth to Tydeus. Against truth, falsehood holds no power. Trouble with petty quarrels not grounded in right leads to no victory. Therefore, remember that great power, not abundance of good or much multitude, but skill, ingenuity, force, or folly, upholds truth. Whoever wishes, take heed: falsehood cannot prevail in the end. I record this, of worthy Tydeus, who with his hand, through the excellence of his courage, slew fifty knights in his defense, except for one, as I previously mentioned. Sworn and assured, and his hand held the king informed of their actions.\nAnd Tydeus, wounded and faint,\nMeat and weary, in great distress,\nOverlaid with true weakness,\nBut as he could, he took his horse,\nStanding on the green, he raised himself up,\nAnd forth he began to ride,\nWith wide wounds, at an easy pace,\nAnd shortly, in his open sight,\nHe was always afraid of treason,\nBut anxious and full of great pain,\nHe rode himself till he arrived,\nIn the lands of Lygurgus.\n\nHow did Tydeus, wounded, come into Lygurgus' lands?\nA worthy king and manly in his hand,\nAnd he, pale only for lack of blood,\nTydeus saw where a castle stood,\nStrong and mighty, built on a rock,\nToward which he quickly approached,\nConveyed thither by the castle's clarity,\nThat by night, against the moon's shine,\nOn the towers, with crests marred,\nAnd joining, all most to the wall,\nWas a gardener, little out of the way,\nInto whom Tydeus rode,\nBy chance, through a small gate,\nAnd there he found, to settle all,\nA lusty Hercules.\nSwete and fresh, like a paradise,\nVery heavenly, of inspection,\nFirst of all, he lighted down\nThe goodly place, when he beheld,\nAnd from his neck, averted his shield,\nDrew his bridle, from his horse's head,\nLet him go, and took no heed\nThrough the garden, that enclosed was,\nHim to pasture, on the green grass,\nAnd Tydeus, more heavy than led,\nUpon the herbs, green white and red,\nAs he thought, that time for the best,\nHe laid him down, for to take his rest,\nOf weariness, desirous to sleep,\nAnd none awakened, his body to keep,\nAnd with dreams, he grappled ever among,\nThere he lay, till the lark sang\nWith notes new, high upon in the hair,\nThe glad morning, rosy and right fair,\nPhebus also, casting up his beams,\nThe high hills, gilded with his streams,\nThe silver dew, upon the herbs round,\nThere Tydeus lay, upon the ground,\nAt the uprising, of the shining sun,\nAnd stunned him, his green wounds ran.\nRound about, that the soul deepen,\nOf the green, with red mean.\nAnd every morning, for the healthiness of the heir, Lygurgs daughter found us sleeping in the orchard, all withdrawn. Lygurgs daughter made her repair, of custom, among the new flowers in the garden, of many diverse hue. Such joy she had, to take heed on her stalks, to see them spread in the alleys, walking to and fro. And when she had a little while gone, she herself alone, casting up her sight, she beheld where an armed knight lay, resting himself on the cold herbs. And beside him, she also beheld his mighty steed, walking here and there. And she, at once, fell in a manner of fear. Specifically, when she saw the blood spread all around there, she stood still. But at last, she gathered courage and womanly, began to approach this knight, having a manner of dread, and began great doubt, lest it were dead. And truly it was chiefly, that she thought, to make a proof, how that it stood, of this man full oft, and forth she goes, and touched him softly.\nThere, with her small hands and a face deathly pale and bleak,\nLikely as a man awakening from a swoon,\nHe stirred up and drew his sword not fully out, but put it back again.\nStraightway as she had spoken, begging only for his grace,\nTo have pity on him for his transgression,\nAnd show mercy, as a woman should,\nFor fear he would be assailed anew\nBy the Thebans, proven untrue,\nHe was so reckless in his fear.\nFull humbly yielding himself to peace,\nHe had passed his bounds.\nWhen she saw his mortal wounds,\nShe felt genuine compassion,\nFor his illness and distress,\nAnd bade him be undismayed.\nHow womanly it is of this lady to comfort us in his illness,\nNor in heart sorrowful, nor afraid,\nDiscomfort him in no way,\nFor I said she, I am the daughter of the king,\nCalled Lycurgus, who greatly delights in this garden,\nEvery morning, this pastime to behold,\nIt is to me, so passing delightful.\n\"wherefore she said: For no one here will hinder you or do you harm. If you wish, I will in truth do my best and give my full attention to alleviate your grievous sorrow. I hope that from your great offense, you will find help and, as far as it lies in me, trust well that you will not find fault. When he saw that he was a king, so womanly, goodly, and benevolent in all his demeanor, by many diverse signs, he ordered himself not to spare his adventures in declaring them to her. First, concerning his message and the rage of the wood and his wounds and hurts, it would be in vain to recount it further. He then told her every detail, which in truth she never liked but had pity and compassion for his misfortune brought about by false treason. In haste, he begged her to sue for womanly reasons as seemed fitting to her.\"\nTo a chamber she led him up aloft. The time was refreshed in the lady's castle, full well. There, in a bed richly appointed, she lay, surrounded by cloth of gold. Both in length and breadth, the bed was adorned with the same. First, this lady, of her womanhood, commanded her women. As lovely as she was, they were to attend to this wounded man. And when he was disarmed, down to his shirt, she first washed his wounds, searching them carefully with various instruments. She applied diverse ointments and unguents, and summoned leeches, the best she could find. Skillfully, she stopped and bound them, providing every means to ease his pain or soothe his woe. All these things were sought in the court and in the castle, and by her command, were brought to the chamber. For his sake, she had sent for such delicacies as were convenient. Most nourishing, according to physicians' lore, for those who were sick or wounded, to restore them. Making her women also take care and keep watch over him, a night when he slept.\nAnd be wary that nothing starts\nThat was or might be pleasing to his heart\nAnd with this, she prayed him to stay\nUntil he was strong and mighty to ride\nIn the castle, to play and amuse himself\nAnd at leisure, return home again\nWhen he might, enjoy himself at his ease\nBut all for naught, he wills home to Arg\u00e9\nTook his leave on the next day\nWithout delay, to hasten himself on his way\nLowly thanks to her goodness and her generous bounty\nSo womanly, that her wish takes heed\nHim to refresh, in his great need\nCaring for him, with all his full might\nHe would be her servant, and her knight\nWhile he lives, of whatever they might charge\n\nAnd Tydus repairs home to Arg\u00e9 all for longed-for and sorely hurt\nAnd forth he rode until he came to Arg\u00e9\nIn full great haste, and would nowhere dwell\nBut what should I recount other than this\nOf his return, the costs or the pains\nThe craggy rocks, or the high mountains\nOr all the manner of his homecoming\nOf the meeting, or the welcoming, nor the joy that Adrastus made, nor how his wife embraced him in her arms, nor the gathering around him or the prayer, nor the sorrow that Polymytes felt seeing him so sorely wounded, his grievous hurts and sorrows unsounded, his dreadful look and pale face - it would be idle to begin a new tale about all this. Nor how he himself expressed order, first born in Thebes, nor how the king was falsely sworn against, nor the ambush or treason that he set when fifty knights met him on the way, as he had heard, without which my tale is long. But Adrastus commanded men to search in every cost for many diverse leches to come in haste and make no delay, on pain, by the king's bidding, to do their craft that he might be recovered, and assured of his strength in every part. And they each showed such skill that in a few days.\nHe was all hole made of his sickness. There was joy, though, through the court and through all the town, for every man has such an opinion of Tydeus, for his gentleness, for his manhood, and his lowliness, that he was held the most famous knight and best beloved in every man's sight throughout Greece, in every region. But now I must make a digression. To tell briefly, as in summary, of that knight whom Tydeus sent into Thebes, only to declare the great misfortune and evil fate that had befallen the king. The open truth of his knights, how Tydeus had slain each one, none escaped him. The king, to tell plainly how it stood, and when he had rehearsed every point, Ethyocles stood in such disdainful rage that he was on the verge of madness. How Ethyocles was affected when he heard the death of his knights, and in his tenor and in his fell mood, he spoke to the knight.\nAnd truly said, it was only due to cowardice in men that they were slain in such a mortal way, and he, the one responsible, was hanged high by the neck. If you complain about your death or your slaughter, another one or all of you,\nOf the mischief that befell us, I do no force, but scorn upon your false cowardly heart. One knight, through his high renown,\nBrought you all into confusion.\nFull of graceleess and unhappy,\nNay, said this knight, it is not so,\nIt is your unhappiness, plainly and not ours,\nThat so many worthy warriors,\nWho all their lives had never known shame,\nExcept for this quarrel, taken in your name,\nThat caused and rotted in falseness.\nThis was the cause, in true sincerity,\nOf our unhappiness. I know well and none other,\nAnd the untruth, done to your brother,\nAnd that you were so openly forsworn,\nA particular cause why we were lost,\nWas the false breaking of your assured oath.\nAnd though the king, most angry for wrath,\nIn purpose was, to kill this knight.\nOnly for he said to him right,\nThe which miles, alas. both at eve and morrow,\nWere supplied. With a deadly sorrow,\nRenewed always in his remembrance,\nWith the pitiful and unhappy chance,\nOf the mischief. And misadventure,\nTouching the death. And the discomfiture,\nOf his fears. And of himself also,\nThat the shamefast. Importable woe,\nSo fratricidal on him. With such a mortal strife,\nThat he was weary. Of his own life,\nHence a sword. And a side stroke,\nAnd ripped himself. Even to the heart,\nThe king himself, being though present,\nThat the rumor. And the noise is gone,\nThroughout all Thebes. And the wood rages,\nBy such as were, Joined by lineage,\nTo the knights. Slain at the hill,\nThat all atones. Of one heart and will,\nThey would have risen. Throughout all the city,\nVpon the king. Avenged for to be,\nWhich of her death. Was chief occasion,\nBut the barons. And the lords of the town,\nWere busy. This rumor to cease,\nOf high prudence. To quiet and appease,\nIn quiet. Every thing to set.\nAnd after that, they feasted the bodies of the knights. Like a formidable foe slain, they were brought to the town. In accordance with the ancient rites, they were first burned into cold ashes. Each one was buried according to his degree.\n\nLamentable calendes of adversity, sorrow upon sorrow, and destruction.\nFirst, the king and the region, for lack of anything else, were affected by this, just as I told you. Those commands, truly, were not upheld.\n\nFirst, the ground and roots of this ruin, as the story will clearly reveal. My tale will teach you further, if you wish to hear the remainder.\n\nO Cruel Mars, full of malice and woe,\nAnd of thy kind, hot and dry,\nAs the spears show from so far off,\nBy the streams of the red star,\nIn thy spear, as it goes about,\nWhat was the cause that thou wert so wroth\nWith the Thebans, through whose fierce ire\nThe city burned and was set on fire,\nAs old books relate, with cruel hate,\nRotting and beginning, the story tells,\nOf nothing but blood, corrupt and unkind,\nOriginating from infection, called original,\nCausing strife, dreadful and mortal,\nThis mischief spread throughout all Greece,\nAnd King Adrastus was the first to act,\nDetermined to make a conquest, for Polymytes sake,\nIn knightly fashion, to prove his might,\nAnd first of all, he convened a parliament,\nSending letters and messengers throughout Greece,\nTo hasten them and make no delaying,\nAnd around about, as it is mentioned,\nHe also sent to many regions,\nFor princes, dukes, lords, and barons,\nTo take up in cities and towns,\nAnd choose the most likely ones,\nAnd such as were proven for the best,\nAnd in their hands, receive their pay immediately.\nWith Adrastus to Thebes to ride,\nThe great pursuit of King Adrastus towards Thebes' city,\nAnd the lords who with him remained,\nIn household still had leave to ride,\nTo return to their countries, as their degree,\nTo provision themselves and take up main,\nAnd make them strong with knights and squires,\nWith spears, bows, and crossbows,\nIn all the haste possible, so they may,\nAnd to return, in their best array,\nAt term set, manfully to be said,\nTo face Argos, make a show,\nAnd, as I read, worthy of degree,\nThe kings and princes who came with Adrastus,\nFirst came Prothonoas,\nSon to the king by recording of Archias,\nAnd prudent, skilled in war and peace,\nAlso came King Cylmymnes,\nAnd, as I find, renowned,\nAlso came King Epymedes,\nAnd surpassing all in knighthood and name,\nAnd excelling, in worthiness of fame,\nThe noble king, named Capaneus,\nAlso came to Argos, the story tells us.\nProved right well and had ridden far,\nKing Mellear and Genor, who held his royal seat,\nMy author says, in the land of Crete,\nLying Larus and the king Pyrrhus,\nAnd also the king, called Tortalanus,\nRenowned in many regions,\nThere came the king, named Polemon,\nA manly knight, whom I found,\nWho with him brought, in steel armed bright,\nFull many worthy, out of his country,\nAnd Tydeus, most knightly to see,\nThat manly man, that noble warrior,\nAs he who was, of worthiness' flower,\nMaster and mirror, by prowess of his hand,\nHas sent also, into the mighty land\nOf Calydony, where he was heir,\nThat kingdom, both rich and fair,\nCharging his counsel and his officers,\nIn all haste, that it may be done,\nTo seek out the best warriors,\nOf famous knights, and proved them,\nThrough all the land, & laid on them this charge,\nWithout delay, for to come to Arg\u00e9,\nAnd they shall obey, his bidding,\nEnhancing them, and made no letting.\nBut they quickly moved on. From Thebes, the mighty strong city,\nCame down knight King Mauger, to help as they could\nFirst, I mean, his deceit and treason,\nPolymytes, as sworn to him before,\nTo restore his crown justly,\nAnd when they were free from the town,\nThey descended into Argos,\nLike her others, and their assurance,\nBound only by oaths to him,\nThey came to him, in full humble manner,\nReady to do as he desired,\nAnd when he had fully grasped their truth,\nHe graciously received them,\nAssigning them their place to the east,\nAssembled there were many diverse costs,\nFinally, in this company,\nI gathered was the flower of chivalry,\nChosen out of all Greece,\nThe most knightly and manly of her land,\nI believe, since the world began,\nThere was not seen so many manly men,\nSo well-mounted, with spear and shield,\nTogether assembled, truly in a field.\nThere men might see many strange sights of armying new and uncouth devices. Every man after his fantasy, If I should in order specify each peasant longing to armure and thereupon do my best cure, it would be almost a day's work, and the terms are also too dark to recount clearly and to rhyme. I pass over, only for lack of time. And I would tell, besides her lodging, how Adrastus, the noble worthy king, receives every lord according to his degree within his city, and there they had, according to her pleasure, of what they needed, plenteous habandaunce for man and horse, and commanding that nothing fail. That all these noble warriors, both high and low, and poor savers, I served were, of that they had need. For Adrastus, prudently taking heed, knows what way a king should pay his people truly their soude. Full like a king, touching her term day, That they to fore were served of her pay, He was so free; it pleased him not to restrain, And no man had cause to complain.\nHunger, thirst, or indigence,\nAnd in a prince, it is full great offense,\nAs clerks say, and a great reproof,\nTo suffer his people to live at misery,\nIt is full heavy and grievous in her thought,\nIf he has nothing and they have right naught,\nHe may not both possess good and heart,\nHe to be rich and see his people's smart,\nHe may the body of the poor well constrain,\nBut her heart has a full long reign,\nMauger his might to love at large,\nThere may no king, on hearts set a charge,\nNor them coerce from their liberty,\nMen often see how that thought is free,\nFor which each prince, lord and governor,\nAnd especially every conqueroor,\nLet him beware, for all his noblesse,\nThat bounty, freedom, plenteousness and largesse,\nBy one accord, let them his bribes lead,\nLest of his people, when he has most need,\nHe be defrauded, when he is but alone,\nThan is too late, for to make his moneys.\nHow love withdraws more a king than gold or great riches,\nBut in his court, let him first devise.\nTo exclude scars and covetousness,\nHe is likely, with freedom, if he begins\nLove of his people, evermore to win\nTo reign long, in honor and continuance\nAlways to increase, by favor of fortune\nAnd his enemies, manly to oppress\nFor love is more, than gold or great riches\nGold fails often, love will abide\nFor pleasure or death, by a lord's side\nAnd the treasure, shortly of a king\nStands in love, above all things\nFarewell, lordship, both morrow and eve\nSpecifically, when love takes its leave\nAnd he who likes, a mirror for to make\nOf kindly freedom, let him take example\nOf Adrastus, the manly, famous king\nSo liberal, so bountiful\nUnto his people, at all times found\nWho made him strong, his foes to confound\nAnd love only, his enemies to wage war\nAll Greece, made his bidding to obey\nOf one accord, knightly by his side\nAll atones, to Thebes to ride\nFor revenge, since they were so strong\nThe great injury, and the unbearable wrong\nDone to his son, and to his next ally.\nAs you have heard me specify, but while the Greeks pause for a while, I will resort to Ethyocles. Nota, in Inner Thebes. He warily observed by his friends that the Greeks had arrested their order, purpose, and pursuit. Filled with fear, he first consulted the counsel and advice of the lords and barons of the town, and the wisest of his region, on how he might make resistance, manfully to stand and defend, and be strong, leaving no doubt. Ethyocles made himself strong against the coming of the Greeks, and in the adjacent countries and also in foreign regions, he held back all champions. And thereupon, he sent out his spies and friends and next allies, and all the worthy inhabitants, young and lusty, he gathered into town. He masked his walls and high towers and stuffed them with many sad-faced men. Around about, he set many guns, great and small, and some large as tonnes.\nAnd in his haste, he spent his treasure and gave great yields to knights and worthy men of name, to increase his fame. He gave to lords, manyfold jewels, velvet clothes, damask and gold, to win their hearts, to help him now in this great need. And prudently he pursued some of flesh and fish, and wine and corn. He set his captains, early and late, with full strength, at every gate. He made also, by true workmen, barbicans and new bulwarks, bars, chains, and deep ditches. Making his vow, he swore to keep the city while he lived, despite of all his foes, and by his gods, of metal and stone. Full often he swore, both in heart and thought, that it shall first be bought dearly, and many a man with pollax and sword and knife, to storm this town, first shall lose his life, and there shall also many sides bleed, or his brother, possibly, shall peacefully possess the town in his stead.\nBut at the end, the truth will be seen. Let him beware, and well prepare for Adrastus, on the other side, who was negligent But on a day, he held a parliament All his lords sitting around, To reach a clear conclusion And uphold the fine of their intent Some thought, full expedient, Of their proceedings, to work by the advice Of one who was prudent and wise And circumspect in his works all A worthy bishop, advanced in age And was truly named Amphiaraus was set to come to the Greeks Amphyaraus, of whom great fame Spread through the land, both east and south Among Greeks, exceedingly renowned A man truly, of ancient antiquity And most respected, in authority Firstly, because of his high estate And also, because he was so fortunate In his works, and was also secret With the gods, knowing their privacy By grant, from whom as books specify He had a spirit of true prophecy And could avert, openly, divine wrath\nThings began. How they should find\nAnd also by craft. of calculation\nGive a judgment. of every question\nAnd had in Magic. great experience\nAnd found could. by heavenly Influence\nAnd by the meaning. of high stars\nA final judgment. of contention and of wars\nAnd knew well. as his gods told\nAnd knew well you true prophecy of Bishop Amphyrox\nThat if Greeks. on their journey hold\nIt will turn. plainly this new phase\nTo great misfortune. and to great damage\nOf them all. and in especial\nThe most part. of the royal blood\nThrough all Greece. it may not be withdrawn\nIn this voyage. shortly shall be enslaved\nAnd if himself. with the Greeks went\nWhoever wept. him or by thought\nThis was the finding. and may not be saved\nFrom the earth. he should be devoured\nQuickly as he was. he knew none other in certainty\nAnd for he saw. there was none other gain\nTo save his life. nor new better defense\nThan utterly. to withdraw his presence\nPraying his wife. for him to provide\nIf he were sought. that she would hide him.\nAnd she kept him close, and truly counseled his purpose, for all his trust was set in her cunning. I hope to God that he need not fear any deceit in her womanhood. She was so true, as women are every one, and also close-mouthed and mute as a stone. She would not, as the matter stood, disclose him for any worldly good. But finally, the Greeks, out of mischief, had sent for the bishop. Though it was long, or they might have found him, for his wife was so kind to him that she had surely locked up his body. But for she had a manner of remorse, grieving her conscience. How it came about, with the ample rack of conscience, that she other disclosed her husband\n\nDreading to fall into full great offense, lest her soul be in peril, when she was compelled by others to swear,\n\nThere requiring, if she could tell, where her lord, the bishop, should dwell, whom to disclose her heart was loath.\n\nUntil she gave them time to remember on their oath.\nAnd could not a truth of custom deny\nAnd had great conscience to lie heavy. with a sorrowful face\nMaugre her lust, they led him to the place\nWhere he was shut up in a tower\nAll alone, having no support\nThey fell upon him, or he was aware\nAnd set him up in a rich chariot\nA great fool he was, to jeopardize his life\nTo disclose his counsel to his wife\nAnd yet she was full sorry for his sake\nSpecifically when she saw him take\nBut I hope that her heaviness\nBegan to abate, soon by process\nIn short time, when he was gone\nThere is no tempest that may cease ever in one\nBut this bishop, by true force and might\nWas conveyed to the Greeks, rightly\nThis hoary gray-haired one sat in his chariot\nAnd they were very glad, his coming\nHaving trust and full openness\nAnd through cause and occasion\nOf his wisdom and his sapience\nAnd by virtue of his high presence\nThey should escape all adversity\nPossible to fall, as in her journey\nAnd as the story fully has devised\nFull circumspectly and right well advised,\nHe has pronounced in the parliament\nTo form the lords and the president\nHis clear conception in true sincerity\nNot enticed with any doubtfulness\nHer dismal days and her fatal hours\nHer adventures and her sharp showers\nThe froward sort and the unhappy stouds\nThe complaints of her deadly woes\nThe woeful wrath and the contrary\nOf fell Mars and his cruelty\nAnd how by means of his gerious mode\nThere shall be shed all the worthy blood\nOf the Greeks. it may not be avoided\nIf her purpose be executed and sewn\nThere is no more. this shall be the fine\nThe high noblesse shall draw to decline\nOf Greek blood, in misery, sorrow and woe\nAnd with all this, I myself also\nAs my fate has to form, disposed\nDeep in the ground, I shall be enclosed\nAnd locked up in the dark vale\nOf cruel death. lo, this was the tale\nThat the bishop to Adrastus told\nHim counseling his purposes to withhold\nIn avoiding more mischief and sorrow.\nFor all his goods, he took upon borrowing from the Thebans and Greeks, if they met, the fine for it shall be unwelcome, that all Greece, after that, should it reverberate. Warn him if they knew the mischief, that no man may let a siege against Thebes and abandon its purpose. With whose words, the lords began to grieve, and in hand they held, but full small delight, and every one, in high contempt, they abrayed, and said he was untrue. A contriver of new prophecies, and also, for his long beard and old, dotard, a coward and a fearful one, and of rancor, began to defy both his calling and his astronomy. And they said briefly, they took no heed of it, nor will they govern themselves after his rule. This was the clamor and noise in every cost, high and low, throughout the whole host, and especially from the soldiers and lords, reigning in flowers, and of the states, effectively I mean, those of age, who had not had, by Mars' influence, experience of the war.\nHere you may consider and see\nOf concepts. Full great diversity\nHow youth, no longer peril cast a form\nTill mischief suddenly be born\nWhereas age produces every thing\nOr he begins to cast the ending\nYouth is governed by a large reign\nHow age and youth have diverse opinions\nTo run forth, and cannot him refrain\nBut of head, set on all at once\nAs he that hurts himself against the hard stones\nBrothers himself, unwarily and parts\nBut age experienced, now nothing undertakes\nBut to form, of good discretion\nMake a due examination\nHow it will turn, other to bad or good\nBut youth, as fast as stirred is the blood\nTake enterprises, of hasty willfulness\nJoy at beginning, the end is wretchedness\nThe old, prudent, in all his governance\nFull long a form, makes pursuit\nBut youth alas, by counsel will not work\nFor which full often he stumbles in the dark\nThus seldom is seen, the truth to terminate\nThat age and youth draw by one line\nAnd where folly has denomination\nwysdom is put into subjection like this bishop, with all his high prudence, for he might have none audience. All his wysdom and prophecy, however, was held but folly, according to the Greeks. For though Plato and wise Socrates, Moral Seneca, and Diogenes, Albumazar, and prudent Tholome, and Tully, who once had sovereignty in Rome as of eloquence, were all, in a short sentence, most knowing and expert. And no man listened to her counsel or took heed of her sayings, for what might avail, and it came to need. For where prudence can find no support, and providence has no favor, farewell wysdom, farewell discernment, for lack only of support, unsupported, Amphyorax signified that he was becoming full sore, with head inclined, and many evil thoughts, when he saw her counsel stand for naught. For utterly, the Greeks, as I told you, have fully cast their journey for its holding.\nThey made ready and went towards Thebes, to the city to wage war. With them they carried Amphyaraus. In Greece, they would no longer tarry. He sat in his chariot with a heavy heart, knowing he could not alter his fate, his dispositions, and his hosting, in the region of Lycurgus. The Greeks approached, a distant land, with many a craggy rock. But all the way, truly, there was neither water for horse nor man. The vales and plains were so dry, and for the entire year they had had no rain. The great misfortune the Greeks suffered due to the lack of water, and all around them they searched in vain. They neither found water that was clear nor any relief. Alas, they could not escape or find a way out. The sun's intense heat was so unbearable, so hot on them in the fields where they lay, that for their misfortune, both man and horse began to die. Gaping dryly, they turned upward towards the south. Some put their swords in their mouths and their spearheads in their hands, as the story is told.\nTasware her thirst with the iron cold\nAnd of his life, full many one dispirited\nIn this mischief, and home again repaired\nUntil on a day, worthy Tydeus\nAnd with him also, King Campanius\nRode through the country\nIf they might, any water see\nFrom coast to coast, both far and near\nUntil Fortune led them\nTo an herb garden\nWith trees shaded, for the sun's shine\nFull of herbs and of flowers green\nWonder holy, both in sight and hair\nTherein a lady, passing fair\nSitting as though under a laurel tree\nAnd in her arms, a little child she held\nGracious in look and in visage\nAnd also, wonder tender of age\nSoon of the king, born to succeed\nCalled Lycurgus, in story as I read\nWhose heartly joy and worldly also dispense\nAll his mirth, pleasure, and comfort\nWas in this child, of excellent fairness\nAnd this lady, mirror of semblance\nSuddenly, as she cast up her sight\nAnd on his steed, saw an armed knight\nGreatly abashed, began at once to retreat\nBut Tydeus began to speak, saying, \"Sister, be not dismayed, distressed, or afraid in yourself. We have come only to this place. To beseech you, of mercy and grace, to succor us in our great need. Declaring to you how it stands in truth, we are here, the worthiest among all Greeks, princes lodging in the field, and many others with pollaxes and shields, who, in disorder and great fear, are likely to be dead due to the lack of water. For these past three days, none of our company, high or low degree, have drunk, except none. Our voyage is so unfortunate. Praying you, of womanly pity, be benign and gracious, and see how all the chivalry of Greece, of their lives, stand in jeopardy. If you know, tell us, the location of a spring or well. Specifically now, in all our care, of gentleness, declare it to us.\" Here is all, if you wish to hear.\nThat you may see, my own sister dear,\nAnd when this lady, Inly virtuous,\nTaught Tydus how to show true pity,\nThe complaint he heard. Of genuine sorrow,\nChanged his countenance, and in her heart,\nShe saw his distress and pitied him,\nSaying to him, in all his heaviness,\n\"Certes, I say, if I were at large,\nConcerning this child, of whom I have charge,\nI would in haste help to relieve\nOnly out of pity and compassion,\nAnd leave all other occupation,\nConvey you, and be your true guide,\nTo a river, but little here beside,\nBut I dare not, so much assure\nThis little child, to put in adventure,\nI am so fearful, to depart from it,\nBut for your sake, that I in part\nMy life, my death, of true affection,\nTo provide, for your salvation,\nTook the child, and laid it in her lap,\nAnd richly in clothes, began to wrap,\nAnd couched it among the sweet-smelling herbs,\nAnd laid about many wholesome roots,\nAnd flowers also, both blue and red.\nAnd supplied with a manner of dread,\nWith Tydeus she went forth at once,\nIntending no treason, in truth,\nWould dwell there till she brought him\nTo a right fair well, and to a river habonde,\nBut who was glad, and who was Joconde,\nBut Tydeus, seeing the river,\nWhich in all the haste had sent his messenger\nTo Adrastus, and bade him not abide,\nBut down descend, to the river side,\nWith all his host, recover for to have,\nAt this river, their lives to save,\nAnd this haste making none abode,\nAll at once to the river rode,\nTo drink, they had such great lust,\nOf appetite, to quench her thrust,\nAnd some drank and found it did them good,\nAnd some were so fierce and so wood,\nUpon the water, that in their frenzy,\nThrough undiscreet and hasty greed,\nOut of measure, the water they drank,\nSo filled they died, even upon the brink,\nAnd some naked, into the river ran,\nOnly for heat, of the summer sun,\nTo bathe them, the water was so cold.\nAnd some also, as I have told you,\nwere prudent and wise. They drank the water in measurable ways,\nenduring thirst beforehand. They were refreshed fully and recovered.\n\nGreeks, both high and low degree,\ncompelled the river to crystallize in sight,\nof one accord, there they pitched their tents\nto rest there in relief from their pain,\nonly the space of a day or two.\n\nWhile Greeks, upon the river, lay,\nThis Tydeus, on the same day,\nacted knightly and did his duty,\nThis young lady, with great reverence,\npresented herself to Adrastus,\nAt whose coming, the king himself went,\nAgainst her, she fell down on her knees,\nAll the states, present and degrees\nOf Greek land, were absent none,\nAnd in his arms, he took her up at once,\nThanking her, and of her busyness,\nOf her labor, and her kindness,\nBehaving towards her as he was bound.\nIf anything plainly that she would,\nHe would do it, she should find it ready.\nAnd the Greeks all. The story relates how the states were,\nBeing present here, she thanked her with all her intent,\nFor the refreshing given to many a Greek,\nAnd for her part, they begged her also,\nWith their bodies and goods both, to command,\nWhat she pleased, and make them ready promptly,\nAnd not fail. My author relates,\nThis lady, so fair to behold,\nWhose name was Isyphyle,\nTo Adrastus was told, as you may read,\nLineally the stock of her kindred,\nOnce upon a time, she was a king's daughter,\nRecounting him all the causes,\nFirstly, why she left her country,\nShortly, for she would not consent,\nTo execute a conspiracy,\nMade by the women of that region,\nA thing contrary, and against all right,\nThat each of them, upon a certain night,\nBy one accord, should carefully keep,\nFather, brother, and husbands in their sleep,\nWith sharp knives and keen razors,\nLiterally her throats, in that mortal tension,\nUntil this fine, as Bochas can tell,\nIn all that land, be not found a man.\nBut all were slain. To this conclusion,\nWomen might have dominion\nIn that kingdom. to reign at liberty,\nAnd on no part, interrupted, but for this lady,\nPassing debonair, to this murder, was forward and contrary,\nShe reproached her father, that he was not a slave\nBut from death, preserved and withdrawn,\nFor which, alas, she fled the country,\nAnd from a pirate, taken in the sea,\nBrought before King Lycurgus, in great fear,\nAnd for her truth and womanhood,\nTo her he took his young child to keep,\nWhich in the hermitage, alone left to sleep,\nWhen Tydeus, she brought to the well,\nAnd by Jason, some books tell,\nThis lady had two sons,\nWhen he and Hercules also came,\nToward Colchis, by her country,\nFor Tamosyphyle, the conquest of the Ram,\nBut whoever wished, by and by, to see\nThe story whole, of this Isyphyle,\nHer father's name, of which also I went,\nThough some say, it was named Toante,\nAnd some books, Vermes also called him,\nBut to know the adventures all\nOf this lady, Isyphyle the fair.\nSo faithful and only debonair, look on the book. That John Bochas made once upon a time of women, with Rothoryke's glad direction, By full sovereign style, To fair Jane, the queen of Secyle, Read there the rubysshe of Isyphyle, Of her truth and of her high bounty, Carefully compiled for her sake, And when she, Has her leave taken, Of Adrastus, Homeward in her way, Tydeus began her to convey, To the garden, till she is repaired, But now alas, my mother is displeased, Of all joy and of all welfare, And destitute, of mirth and all gladness, For now of woo, begins the sharp showers, For this lady found among the flowers, Her little child, turned up the face, How the child was slain with a serpent, Slain by a serpent, in the self same place, Her tail curled, with scales silver sheen, The venom, was so persistent and so keen, So perilous, also the mortal violence, Caused alas, through her long absence, She was too slow, homeward to hasten, But now can she, but weep, wail and cry.\nShe cannot, but sign and complain\nAnd woefully, wringing her hands twice,\nPale of face and cheer,\nAnd began to rend her golden tresses clear,\nAnd often then, she said, alas,\nI wretched woe, unhappy in this case,\nWhat shall I do, or whither shall I turn?\nFor this the fine, if I sojourn there,\nI well know, I may not escape\nThe pitiful fate, that is for me,\nNo succor is there, nor can there be a rede,\nLike my deserving, but that I must be dead,\nFor through my sloth and negligence,\nAlas, I have done such great offense,\nThat my gold, I may not excuse,\nShall to the king, of treason accuse,\nThrough my default and sloth both two,\nHis son is dead, and his heir also,\nWhom he loves more than all his good,\nFor treasure, none so near his heart stood,\nNor was it so deep, grave in his heartage,\nThat he is likely, to fall in a rage,\nWhen it is so, my odious offense,\nReported be, unto his audience,\nSo importable, shall be his heaviness,\nAnd well I know, in very truthfulness.\nThat when the king. has this espied,\nTo my excuse, it may not be denied,\nI doubt not, there goes no pity,\nWithout respite. he will avenged be,\nOn me, alas. I have deserved,\nThat from death, I may not be preserved,\nNe by bill, ne supplication,\nFor the rage, of my transgression,\nRequires death, and none other remedy,\nAnd thus, alas, quaking in fear,\nNo other help, nor remedy,\nBut dread in sorrow, to the Greeks I ran,\nOf heartfelt woe, face and cheer destined,\nAnd her checks, with weeping all bereaved,\nIn her affray, distracted and furious,\nTo forestall all, she came to Tydeus,\nAnd fell on knees, & began her complaint make,\nTold plainly, that for Greeks sake,\nShe might be dead, and shortly in substance,\nRehearsing him, the greatness of her grief,\nFirst how by treacherous serpent's guile,\nThe child was slain, while she was absent,\nIn what dismay, and peril that she stood,\nAnd when that he, her misfortune understood,\nUnto her, full knightly he vowed,\nTo help and further, all that ever he might.\nHer pitiful woe to still and appeal,\nAnd find some comfort for her disease,\nHe went a full great pace to Adrastus,\nAnd told him all the causes\nOf this unhappy, woeful adventure,\nBeseeching him to do his best cure,\nAs he was bound by equity and right,\nAnd advise, and to have a sight\nHow she might quit her, to the Greeks here to bear,\nWhen they were likely, for to have been lorn,\nThe void succor, of her womanhood,\nOf which he must take heed, in knighthood,\nTo remedy this unhappy thing,\nAnd Adrastus, like a worthy king,\nTook it upon himself, the story relates,\nTo this lady, will not be unkind,\nNor for cost, nor for any trouble,\nBut was busy, in all that might avail,\nTo her succor, considered all things,\nAnd by their means, of all the worthy kings\nOf Greek land, they were accorded thus,\nPrinces, dukes, and worthy Tydeus,\nTo hold her way, and all attend, ride\nTo Lycurgus, dwelling there beside,\nOf one intent, if they may purchase\nIn any way, for to gain grace\nFor this lady, called Isyphile.\nThey would try. If it might be\nAnd to his palaces, royally built of stone,\nThe worthy Greeks came, riding each one,\nEvery lord, freshly on his steed,\nLygurgus, an example of manliness,\nImmediately as he knew, of her coming,\nTaquite himself, like a gentle king,\nAgainst them went, to meet them on the way,\nWell seen by them, and in full good array,\nReceiving him, with a full kingly cheer,\nAnd to Adrastus said, as you shall hear,\n\"Cousin,\" he quoth, \"and gave him to embrace,\n\"Welcome,\" said he, \"to your own place,\n\"Thank you heartily,\" to your high nobles,\n\"For so nobly,\" of your gentleness,\n\"Toward me,\" you list to quarrel,\n\"Yourself,\" you show yourself,\n\"In this castle,\" to make your lodging,\n\"That never yet,\" I was so glad of a thing,\n\"And all my life,\" and there to hear my truth,\n\"And evermore,\" there shall be no sloth,\nThat the chambers and the large towers\nShall be delivered, to your heralds.\nEvery lord, according to his degree,\nTo his lodging, assigned shall be,\nYour officers, let them devise.\nIf the housing may suffice for you and yours, extending and attaining that no estate has cause to complain, and all your host lodged here beside, which in tents upon you abide, let them be fed by my authority. Provision you here in my city, and all that may help or save, and at a word, all that I have is full and whole, at your commandment. Quoth Adrastus. That is not our intent. Nor in any party, cause of our coming, for we come all for another thing, a certain gift, to require of you, benignly, if you list to hear, which may greatly aid Greeks in your request, that you not fail in granting or confirming and ratifying it, than we would dare to specify it. Quoth Lycurgus. What thing ever it be, nothing is excepted, by only three things: The first thing touches not my life, my young son plainly, nor my wife. Take all my good, or whatever you please to provide.\nOf my treasure, set these three aside. I cannot count the surplus as enough. When Adrastus, astonished, made an exception in his conclusion, and while they thus treated, a man came forth, with a woeful countenance, pale of face, and nothing redeeming to look upon. A loud cry rang out. The king's son is dead. Alas, the while, that once was so fair, after Lygurgus was born, has breathed its last. As a serpent, it has grown strong unto death, and with its wound, new and green, lies that which is pitiful to behold. It has lain thus, almost all this day. When Lygurgus heard this affray and knew that his child was dead, and had no more, little wonder that he was wooed by sorrow. For suddenly, the inexpressible pain, the sorrow and lamentation of King Lygurgus for the death of his child, ran to him, and he seized him by the heart. Through and through he felt the pain, coursing through every vein.\nThe rage consumed him so deeply,\nHe could not but sigh, sob, and weep,\nAnd with the noise and lamentation,\nThe queen, distraught, descended down,\nAnd when she knew, overwhelmed by all this sorrow,\nIt needed her no more to borrow tears,\nBut twenty times, in a row,\nA sigh she fell to the ground low,\nAnd stood still, stunned, for this high disgrace,\nStill as a stone, she lies in a trance,\nAnd when it, brought into the court,\nTherefore Lygurgus, alas, I know him not,\nUpon the corpse, with a mortal face,\nHe fell at once and began to embrace,\nSore to grip and then rise up,\nThat when Adrastus,\nGan this adventure\nOf kingly remorse and compassion,\nFrom his eyes, tears fell down,\nEven kings and dukes, who stood around,\nOnly of pity, that is in gentle blood,\nNo power had the water to restrain,\nThat on her cheeks, down began to rain,\nBut all day long, would not suffice,\nAll her sorrows, in order to appease.\nFirst of the king and the queen also,\nTo tell all, I should never have done.\nNought in the space for an hour, but when the storms and sharp showers of her weeping were somewhat over, the little corpse was given over to the earth, and Adrastus, in the same tide, took Lycurgus aside and wisely, with his prudent speech, began to teach the queen that to sorrow avails nothing against death, for no man may recover from loss of life. Though he may endure perpetually in woe, all help is in vain when the soul is gone, and our life here, which takes heed of it, is but an exile and a pilgrimage full of torment and bitter rage, like a sea, surging to and fro, seeking an ebb when the flood is done, little space remaining of those who are its sojourners. Neither king nor duke nor emperor can shield him against the fatal shower of cruel death, when he pleases to mark a man with his mortal mace. That which comes not to his salvation nor grants him protection.\nAnd little or nothing can help in this case\nSave conduct or supervision. For in this world,\nWho looks a right is none so great, of power or might,\nNone so rich, short or old,\nWho in youth passes this passage,\nHe has escaped, all the wood's rage,\nAll sorrow and trouble, of this present life,\nReplenished, with content war and strife,\nWhich seldom or never stands in certainty,\nTherefore best is, as it seems to me,\nNo man grumbles, but of high prudence,\nThe son of God, take in patience,\nAnd you that are so manly,\nDrown your life in tournament and in woe,\nFor loss of thing, that you lusted to see,\nWhich in no way, can be recovered,\nIs great folly and undiscretion,\nAnd thus Adrastus, has conveyed down,\nThe substance whole, of that he would say,\nTill that he found, a time for to pray,\nConvenient, for Isyphyle,\nBeseeching him, for to have pity,\nOf that she has, his highness,\nNot willfully, but recklessness.\nFirst that he would, his judgments to divide.\nMercy is preferred, and sets aside, at the request and prayer of all of this company, and of those who are unfortunate and have been afflicted by hasty rigor, and not to avenge but a thing forfeited in its pursuit. Who to wretches does mercy show in fear, shall find mercy when he has the most need, and since he has power, might, and space, let him take this lady to his grace, for lack of pity, that she not die. But the queen replied and plainly said, \"In this matter, appeal not to request nor prayer. Show pity, no remission, but if it is by this condition: But if the serpent, cause of all this sorrow, though his labor lays his head to borrow, this is final and utter recompense to find grace for her great offense, or shortly shed blood for blood. And when the Greeks understood her answer, all of one accord, they took on them this adventure for love only of Isyphyle, and began to ride, encompassing the country by hills, vales, rocks, and also caves, in dark ditches and old graves.\nBy every cost, seeking up and down,\nUntil the worthy knight, Partholope,\nSaw first this hideous serpent. By a river side,\nGreat and horrible, stern and full of pride,\nUnder a rock, by a bank low,\nAnd in all haste, he took a sturdy bow,\nAnd there set an arrow sharp,\nAnd through its body, spotted blue and green,\nHe made it slide,\nAnd rent out a sword, hanging by his side,\nStruck off its head, and at once it yielded,\nAnd with that, the queen presented herself,\nWhere through her sorrow, her anger began to abate,\nAnd thus of valor and of high courage,\nThis manly man, Partholope,\nReconciled fair Isyphyle to grace,\nFully of the queen's favor,\nHer ire abated, and her old tears ended,\nAnd by Adrastus' intervention,\nLyng Lygurgus granted a pardon,\nTo this lady, who was set free\nFrom all danger,\nIn her palaces, to dwell all her life.\n\nThough Johan Bochas tells a different tale,\nFor this author, out of fear, affirmed.\nThat this child was by the serpent slain,\nShe dared not, for her great offense,\nEver again come in his presence\nOf Lygurgus.

Her kinship by degrees\nBegan out of twelve trees\nMade by Bochas. Decertaldo named\nAmong poets. In Italy stalled\nNext, Francys Petrarch, following in certain\nTowards the Greeks. I will return again\nTo tell forth, shortly if I can\nOf her journey. That they have begun\nHow Adrastus took leave\nOf Lycurgus, with brows black\nAnd departing, with Saint John to borrow\nMade his wards, on the next morrow\nSo well seen, so mighty and so strong\nWonder early. When the lark sang\nWith a trumpet. Warned every man\nTo be ready. In all the haste they can\nFor to run. And no longer letting make\nAnd so they have, the right way taken\nTowards Thebes. The Greeks, each one\nOf such a number, gathered in one\nOf worthy knights. Never a foregone conclusion\nAnd they did not cease, by no occasion.\nUntil they became a formidable force before the town,\nAnd pitched their tents proudly, as I have read,\nUnder the walls, in a green meadow,\nAnd when the Thebans were besieged about,\nThe manly knights would have issued out,\nAnd have shamed them, in their lusty pride,\nWith their women, on the other side,\nBut by the bidding of Ethyocles,\nAll that night, they kept themselves in peace,\nBecause only that it was so late,\nWith great vigilance, men of arms were set at every gate,\nAll night long, waking on the walls,\nBy the king's bidding, lest there be treason,\nAnd on the courses and in the chief stronghold,\nHe set up men to make mortal sounds,\nWith brass horns and loud clarions,\nIntending the watches to keep,\nIn his ward, that no man may sleep,\nAnd Greeks proudly, all the long night,\nLit up lively fires, and made great light,\nSet up lodgings, on every side,\nLike sentinels, they ever remained,\nCompassing the town, there was no void space,\nBut all besieged, their women to menace.\nAnd while they were before the city, the Greeks laid siege on every side. They sent out raids, burning towns, thores, and villages with great ravage, making pillage and spoil, and brought home victuals and all manner of booty. Sheep and cattle, and in their cruel rage, with hounds slow, they took heart and hind, both buck and doe, the black boar and the wild roo, the fat swine and the tusked boar, carrying all home for the Greeks' store, wheat and wine, for their maintenance. With this calendar, as they thought due, the Greeks began to salute the Thebans, ministering to them, occasions fell, The siege was set, shortly to tell, of full intent, in her hateful pride, For life or death, there upon to abide, Whoever therewith was agreed, till they fully achieved their purpose. There may be made no releases, And of this, Ethyocles was fully aware, Began in party, greatly marveling, when he saw the great apparition.\nOf the Greeks, the city around and within itself had a manner of doubt. A man stood there, unsure what was best to do for that time. It was so, that to some, remaining in the town, he had great suspicion. They were unstable towards him and to his brother, in party favorable. For in the city, there was variance. This variance among the best in that city, which was a great misfortune for him, for in his need, he soon knew not upon whom he might trust. For they were not all of one intent. For this reason, he sent for his lords and the old queen, whom he deemed pure and clean, of one heart and not variable, of old experience, and always found stable. He required them openly to tell her advice where it was, clearly in her sight, with his brother, to treat or to fight. Some gave a full-blown sentence, who had experience of war, saying it was best and not to be afraid.\nTo try his right, manly with his sword,\nAnd some also spoke to him by good advice,\nAnd they didn't spare, but their conceit told,\nHow it was best, his covenant to hold,\nAnd to perform, his horse made to go forth,\nTo his brother, like as he was sworn,\nSo that his sword, the worse to make him speed,\nBe not found wanting, from no deed,\nFor none hatred, rancor nor pride.\n\nThe words of the queen Jocasta to Oedipus the king,\nAnd though the queen took him out of the way,\nShe spoke plainly, such doubleness to find in a king,\nAnd said to him also, all though he were strong,\nTo his brother, how he did wrong,\nAnd all the town will record in deed,\nAnd bear witness, if it came to need,\nWhy then let us shape another means,\nIn this matter, while that it is green,\nOr this quarrel gone of volunteers,\nTurn in the fine, of more adversity,\nFor if it be, dared by battle,\nWho trusts most may likely fail.\nAnd it is folly. To put a strife in Mars' judgment,\nFor it is hard when a judge is biased,\nTo treat a former one without loss of blood,\nAnd if we put it to the sword, his laws would part,\nThen it may happen, that you and your brother,\nBoth repent, and many others present,\nWho are innocent, and many thousands in the case,\nComplain only for your dispute,\nAnd for your strife, shall find full unsolved,\nAnd for you, beginning this injury and great unright,\nTo the gods, who have a sight here,\nYou shall make a count and a reckoning,\nFor all those who suffer for your sake,\nAnd now the cause is driven so far,\nSudden peace or hasty war\nMust follow immediately. For the fatal chance\nOf life and death depends in balance,\nAnd no man may by any craft restrain\nThis between these two.\nThe sort must fall. Like as it does turn,\nWhoever laughs or mourns,\nAnd thou art driven so near to the stake,\nThat thou canst make no more delays,\nBut fight or treat, this quarrel to end,\nNo engine thou canst decline,\nA hasty case, as people say, that is wise,\nRedress requires, by full short use,\nTo treat long now avails nothing,\nTo the point, truly thou art brought,\nEither to keep, thy possession,\nOr in all haste, depart from this town,\nWhere thou with him, be wrath or well paid,\nNow note well, all that I have said,\nAnd by my counsel, wisely descend,\nWrong done, of old, newly to amend,\nThe time is come, it will be none other,\nWherefore in haste, treat well with thy brother,\nAnd again him, make no resistance,\nBut to thy lords, fully give credence,\nBy whose counsel, since they are so sage,\nLet Polytes rejoice in his heritage,\nAnd that shall turn most to thine avail.\nHere is the fine, the end of our counsel,\nAnd shortly thou, for very ire, must wrath.\nThough he was reluctant or unwilling, he listened to all the presidents if he was to make a treaty for peace. It must be under this condition that he would have dominion first over himself, as he believed he had deserved it. He would save the sovereignty and, under him, Thebes the city. He would grant Polymyte to reign for a year with a right good cheer. Then avoid and not return again, for it was in vain to call for more. He would do this only for her sake, and in no other way would he make an end with the Greeks, whatever fortune might fall. And finally, among his lords, there was not one of high or low estate who would go against this treaty, neither for better nor worse. Only Jocasta made sad her horse and cast herself to go for this treaty to make an end. And this was done by the morning right on time, upon the hour when it drew to prime, and with her went her young daughters, Antigone and the fair Ismene.\nOf her retinue, many one escorted her out at the gate. She first went on horseback to King Adrastus and his lords, who were all in fear. They received her with right glad cheer and welcomed her with great humanity. Polymede rose from his place and humbly embraced his mother. Iphigenia, excellent in beauty, was also there, and because they were passing fair, the presence and reception of the ladies was great. Jocasta then proceeded directly to Adrastus to discuss with him Ethyocles' intent and how he desired peace. She revealed to him the terms and will of Ethyocles and the honor, whole and regal, along with the scepter and crown, which were not to be divided but wholeheartedly given to him, as he had provided. Polymede agreed to reign under him in the town as a subject, by the suffrage of his brother. But the Greeks thought otherwise.\nAnd specifically, worthy Tydeus, the heir of Tydeus, openly declares to the queen: it should not be thus, for he will have no conditions, but sets a side, all exceptions, retaining nothing in particular, but holding the lordship, regally and all, in full possession in Thebes, crowned in truth as a rightful king. Let him understand plainly, and be assured and sealed, as in ancient contracts, which shall not now be filled anew, but steadfastly and firmly stand in his strength. And first, let him divide himself from the town, and deliver the sepulcher and the crown to his brother, and make this no more. Else, this matter will be settled painfully, or brought to an end. For there is no Greek there who will hesitate, or deny our right which is denied us, with life or death. We will not, before this town, renounce this, and if he wishes, let all this be avoided, and let him quell and appease all strife.\nTo either party, he may grant great ease in this manner. I mean, for his advantage, he should deliver up the entire true heritage to his brother for a year to endure. And the Greeks shall fully assure him by what boundary he may choose to set the year's completion. In our best way, we will deliver it back to him again in possession without strife or contradiction. And to his fine, we should justly hold ourselves. And if it happens that he does not wish it so, let him not wait, but only after war, the hour will not be deferred. To him again, when you return from which point, we cast ourselves not to vary. And yet to him, Amphiorax plainly said in conclusion, \"This fine will cause a destruction of all, if it proceeds and is executed in deed.\" But at that time, for all his eloquence he had in truth, but little evidence. For wherever it pleased him, good or ill, King Adrastus bade him be still. And Jocasta, as wisdom taught her, humbly approached with full soft speech, seeking means in her mind.\nIf she could modify the Greeks' mood, to make them incline in any way, her resentment would subside. She performed her devotions and applied her remedy. But an unexpected adventure ensued, causing great confusion. The Greeks disturbing, and the town as well. I cannot tell the reason here, for which a while I must alter my style. And briefly, I shall describe by depiction, the image of a tiger dwelling in the town. This tiger, by record of scripture, came from a kingdom beyond adjacent, sent from Egypt to Thebes. This beast, by nature, is swiftest and most savage, most cruel when enraged. As clerks record, it resembles a lion in body, with the head and muzzle of a hound, and its eyes are like any fire red. Its skin is written as I find, like a leopard, changeable in disposition, with all manner of hues and colors, and is often deceived by mirrors, showing in glass without existence.\nWhen his kindles are taken by stealth,\nAnd he is unable to make rescue,\nThis tiger, tame again, my author writes the same,\nAnd this best, wonderful to see,\nWas sent to Imetheus and Antigone,\nWhich brought them great comfort,\nAnd could play and make great sport,\nLike a pup, that is but young of age,\nAnd to the right, did no harm,\nNo more in truth than does a little hound,\nAnd it was worth many a hundred pound,\nTo the king. For always in his grief,\nThere was nothing that gave him more pleasure,\nThat for no treasure, it might not be bought,\nFor when he was, in thought or in mind,\nIt put him out of his heaviness,\nAnd at that time, the story did express,\nThat Jocasta, in her madness,\nTreated this tame tiger,\nOut of the gates, in sight of many a man,\nInto the field, wildly ran,\nCasually, running to and fro,\nIn and out, as does a tame roe.\nGreeks thinking, that were young of age,\nThat this tiger had been savage,\nAnd cruelly besetting all the place.\nRound about him they gathered. He began to encircle\nUntil he was dead. And slain in the field\nThe death of whom, when they beheld\nThe proud Thebans, who stood on the walls\nThey ran down. Full furiously and mad\nThinking he had been slain out of spite\nTaking her horse. Without further respite\nDeterminedly, with Greeks to fight\nThe Tiger's death. taunting if they might\nAnd out they rode. Without governance\nProudly, Greeks began to assail\nFrom hatred and haughty disdain\nThey fell upon them. To avenge the Tiger's death\nAnd cruelly quench their thirst for vengeance\nMany Greeks, in the green meadow\nLay slain by the might and fury\nOf her women. The Tiger's death, so dear they had bought\nSo mortally, the Thebans wrought\nThat all the East, lying in the field\nWas astonished. At this sudden thing\nAnd in this while, out of Thebes, rode Ethyocles\nAnd with him, the worthy king Tremoure\nIn his hand, a noble warrior\nWho made Greeks forsake their position\nAnd to her tents, they began to encamp\nAnd they met on the field, on horseback,\nSharpening their spears,\nMany were slain on every side,\nWhich thing, when Tydeus beheld,\nThe great courage of worthy Tydeus,\nWood as a lion, to horseback he set,\nAs he who had never fled before,\nBut ran to them and met them in the fray,\nAnd in his cruelty,\nHe made them flee, home to their city,\nPursuing them with full deadly hate,\nMany one lay slain at the gate,\nOpening up right-side, with their wide wounds,\nThey utterly dared not abide,\nTherefore, the sword of this Tydeus,\nHe was upon them, so furious and passing,\nSo many Thebans he robbed of life,\nThat when Jocasta, the slaughter became apparent,\nPolymytes she began to pray,\nTo make the Greeks return home again,\nAnd that they would cease to assault,\nFor that day and season, her battle,\nAt whose request, plainly and in prayer,\nAnd in reverence of his mother dear,\nPolymytes, her heart to comfort,\nThe Greeks made home again to resort,\nAnd Tydeus to cease from his chase.\nAnd they of Thebes, hastening at a great pace,\nentered the town in trust and sorrow. In conclusion,\nas you have heard, the first conflict began between Thebes and the Tiger,\nresulting in the loss of many Theban lives that day.\nThe brethren retreated and raised the breach against the Tiger,\nand in the thick of the battle, death claimed the Tiger.\nMeanwhile, Queen Jocasta humbly begged Adrastus,\nasking him wisely to find a way to make peace\nbetween the two brothers and prudently arrange the treaty,\nensuring that no blood would be shed on either side.\nAdrastus, wise and righteous, answered for the Greek party,\nstating that the other side would not have long to wait.\nJust as the lords were fully advised,\nTydeus had devised this plan beforehand.\nWhen she saw that there was no other way,\nJocasta took leave and returned to the city.\nShe was relieved, having put her trust in her guide,\nPolymite riding by her side,\nand Tydeus leading Antigone and Prothonymus,\nthe worthy king, making every effort to attend to fair Imene.\nWho's heart she had lured, and he again,\nHad from his breast, so lightly unable to pass,\nHer features, of her freshly face,\nHe thought she was so fair a creature,\nAnd though he durst not discover,\nYet in his heart, as far as he can,\nHe had avowed to be her true man,\n\nHow he was marked with Cupid's bow,\nWith his arrow, suddenly wounded,\nAnd they were entered in, for it drew them,\nInto the yate, the ladies conveyed,\nSome of them taking her leave,\nThough some were loath to depart,\nYet of wisdom, they durst not intervene,\n\nUnder a conduit, to enter into the town,\nLest it turned to her confusion,\nThough some books say the contrary,\nBut my author is plainly there against,\nAnd forms in his opposition,\nThat Tydeus, of high discretion,\nOf willfulness, nor folly,\nWould not, as though, put himself or any of his brothers,\nAnd the ladies, with heavenly grace,\nAngelic, of look and comportment,\nLike as it is put, in remembrance.\nAt the entrance, from the Greeks into the town of Polymyte, of great affection, the queen begged that night not to find, For to attempt, if she might incline Ethyocles, of conscience and right, To keep the covenant, as he had vowed a year ago, With the superlative, Lest the contrary turn to damage First on himself, and then on many others, And thus from Thebes, the Greeks have gone, To their tents and rest all the night, And Lucyna the moon, shone full bright Within Thebes, on the chief donjon, when Jocasta made relation, Unto the king, and told him all the guise, How that the Greeks utterly despise, His proposal made, by false collusion, Only except, the convention, Of old engagement, by great pursuit, That is enrolled and put in remembrance, Upon which, finally they will rest, Him counseling, her though for the best, To confirm him, to that he was bound, Lest in the fine, falseness confound him, But all her counsel, he set at no price, He deemed himself, so prudent and so wise.\nFor he was wilful and indurate,\nAnd in his heart, malice was obstinate,\nAnd utterly adversed, in thought\nWithin Thebes, his brother gained no right,\nAnd in his error, thus I let him dwell,\nAnd of the Greeks, I will you tell,\nWhich all that night kept themselves close,\nAnd on the morrow, when Titan rose,\nThey armed them and made themselves ready,\nAnd by consent, took the field Itake,\nWith the Thebans, that day, out of doubt,\nFor to fight, if they issued out,\nAnd Adrastus, in full trustworthy way,\nIn the field, his warders arranged,\nAs he who was, of all deceits aware,\nAnd richly armed in his chariot,\nAmphiorax came, with his men,\nFamous and renowned, of antiquity,\nAnd well experienced, because he was old,\nAnd while the Greeks were busiest,\nTheir wards to order,\nMidfield, a sudden battle ensued,\nMost unhappy, loathsome and odious,\nAnd like a thing, that were unseen.\nThis old bishop, with chariot and horse certain,\nSuddenly, Bishop Amphiorax fell down into hell.\nDisappeared. And no more was seen\nOnly of fate. What none can expel\nThe earth opens. And he falls down to hell\nWith all his folk that upon him abode\nAnd suddenly, the ground that he stood on\nClosed again. And together shut\nThat never after. Greeks with him met\nAnd thus the devil, for his old outrages\nLike is deserted. Paid him his wages\nFor he is full low, is descended down\nInto the dark. And black Rogion\nWhere Pluto is crowned and installed\nWith his queen, Proserpina called\nWith whom this bishop, has made his pact\nPerpetually. As for his reward\nLook here the medal of idolatry\nOf right's old. And of false manifestations\nLook what avail Incantations\nOf exorcisms. And conjurings\nWhat stood him stead. His necromancy\nCalculation. Or astronomy\nWhat veiled him. The heavenly mansions\nDiverse aspects. Or constellations\nThe end is not. But sorrow and mischance\nOf them that setting, their utter advance\nIn such works. Superstitious\nOr trust on him. He is ungracious.\nI take record. To tell briefly of this bishop, sunken down to hell, whose woeful end. Such a rumor. Has spread in the east, That the noise, of this uncouth thing, Is rune. I come to the king, How this vengeance. Is unwardly fallen And he at once, made a trumpet call, All his people, out of the field again, And every one, assembled on a plain Before the king, and also round about, Every man of his life in doubt, Full pitously, began to frown and lour, Lest the ground swallow them all, And devour them in his dark cave, And they can no more recover them to save, For neither force nor manhood may avail, In such mischief, the value of a mile, For he that was wisest, could most, To search and seek, throughout all the east, Amphiorax. When he least expected, Helle is sunken, and cannot defend, To him the time, unknown and unwise, In whom once, was all the Greeks' trust, Their whole comfort, and their affiance, But all at once, for this sudden chance.\nAnd this mischief. They all grew dispirited\nHome to Greece. They all intended\nAnd on the walls. Of Thebes lay her foot\nRejoicing them. Of this unhappy ear\nWishing there. Greatly to recover\nAnd on her towers. As they looked out\nThey on Greeks. Enviously began to shout\nAnd from spite. And great envy\nBade them fools. Go hence\nSince they have lost. Her comfort and solace\nHer false prophet. And her divinity\nWhere through. Her part greatly appears\nAnd in this way. Greeks grew dispirited\nDeprived clearly. By evident tokens\nThis case fell. So\nBy witchcraft. Or false sorcery\nAgainst which. May there be no remedy\nTrustworthy defense. Help or solace\nAnd when Adrastus. Heard this clamor\nHe was eager. Against this disturbance\nTo provide. Some manner of entertainment\nAnd to him called. Such counsel as he knew\nFor life or death. That he might trust\nRequiring them. But in few words\nIn this mischief. She could show\nAnd declare by good advice.\nWhat the Greeks considered most expedient was to remedy and make no delay in putting an end to the unpleasant noise and great disturbance they caused with their importunate clamor. And those who were most manly and wise among them quickly said that it would be a great cowardice for them to abandon the enterprise they had undertaken out of fear of death. It would be a perpetual shame for them and a disgrace to us if we were to be associated with the Greeks' name. It would be better for every man to die with honor than to live like a coward. For us, it would be hard to recover from the shame of such a state, and it would be a strange thing to hear of someone whose renown is still clear through all the world, where they have passed and have not yet been darkened or defaced by any report, either at sea or on land.\nThe Greeks, who were once manly conquerors, advised us to make an end to this, to part not, nor to sever from this town until it is brought to destruction. Walls, towers, crested and embattled, and strongly armed for war should be the first to be brought down. Nothing should be seen but all together, lying low or resorting to report that we began knightly, with unabashed worship. This was the counsel of the Greeks, who were both manly and wise. None before them were marked with blame, and specifically, those who feared shame and cast what fortune each one faced on her purpose to the end, not allowing her honor to be appalled. This counsel was agreed upon by the Greeks, one and all, in place of him who was so late deceased. Amphiorax was buried deeply in Hades.\nThat could tell the Greeks of hidden things. How it shall fall in place of whom. Now they have him learned, they cast him wisely to purchase some prudent man to occupy his place, in such a thing might they most avail through his divine act, by craft of sort or of prophecy, If any such, they condemned out to espie and among all, their purpose to attain.\n\nThe Greeks chose a new divine one in the place of Amphipoax the bishop. As I find, they have chosen two, most renowned among them. And Menolyppus was called that one, and Tardynyus also that other. And because he had most favor in their sight, this Tardynyus was chosen and preferred. And the Greeks have not been disturbed. For Amphipoax, their learned is ambition, Of his master, Amphipoax the wise, And was disciple, under his doctrine, And of intent, that he shall terminate For the Greeks, things that shall fall, And as bishop, murdered in his stall, Done for him, in many uncouth way, In the Temple, to gods' sacrificial offerings.\nAnd confirmed. He was enthroned in his see, and remained in his position after his master, with great Greek honor bestowed upon him to be his successor. This entire time, as the story goes, great hardship afflicted him \u2013 hunger, cold, and the Thebans, who caused many casualties on both sides as they clashed. Their swords were extremely sharp. Among them was Tydeus from the town, who daily played the role of a lion, inflicting cruel wounds wherever he rode. The Thebans could not endure his sight. He drove them, through his fierce reputation, into a great slaughter and panic. As death fled from his sword, the next man fell, quelling himself like a manly knight. Wherever he went, he put them to flight and mocked them in his cruelty. He drove them home, into their very l lap. Pursuing them proudly, they bore such deadly hatred towards him that they devised, by stealth or some engine, to ambush him unawares and bring him to his demise.\nAnd laid him away. For him, day and night,\nBut alas, this noble, manly knight,\nOn a day, as he began to make his way home,\nAnd mortally wounded, forced them to yield their place,\nAnd sued them, almost to the town,\nThat cause was, of his destruction,\nFor one, alas, who stood on the walls,\nWho all that day long, remained upon him,\nWith a quarrel, sharp-headed for his sake,\nMarked him, with a bow of yew,\nSo cruelly making, none intervened,\nHow pitifully worthy Tydeus was slain with a quarrel,\nUntil it was past, both back and breast,\nWhere, through alas, there was no other remedy,\nNor leechcraft, that he might live,\nThere may be no delay,\nAnd yet he was held in his dying days,\nThe best knight, and the most manly man,\nAs my author relates, I can well rehearse,\nBut for all that, was there no defense\nAgainst the stroke, of death's violence,\nAnd Bochas writes, or he was fully dead,\nHe was by Greeks, presented with the head\nOf him who gave his last fatal wound.\nAnd he was called, as it is found.\nMenolyppus. I cannot other tell how he was called Menolippus, but that day. The Thebans grew so fell upon Greeks. Under her light, the manly king Parthonopeus was, even a forefront of the gates. And there also, the famous king called Ipomedeon was, on horseback, manly as he fought at the bridge, even upon the draft. Beset with pressure, he was casually drowned. And thus fortune has frowned on Greeks on every side. That unhappy day, I may not tell all the manner of their fighting nor their slaughter in truth. But that day, I find as you may see when Phoebus passed was meridian, and from the southwest drew his golden tresses to bathe in the wave. The Theban king Ethyocles, root of unrestrained and cause of misfortunes, beheld the slaughter of Greeks. Armed in steel, he came out into the field, full desirous in that sudden heat. Polymytes met him at leisure.\nSingularly, with him to have a doo (intention or desire)\nFor in this world, he hated no man so\nHe sat so near, employed in his heart\nWho's coming out, his brother gave adversity\nUpon his steed, in the opposite\nAnd had against, also great delight\nTo measure him, if fortune consents\nThenuous fire, so their hearts burned\nWith hate, corrupted, of unkindled blood\nAnd like two Tigers, in their rage, wode (raged)\nWith spears sharp, ground for the nones (none)\nSo as they ran, and met both at once\nPolymite, through plates mail and shield\nRofe him through and smote him in the field\nBut when he saw, the streams of his blood\nRail about, in manner of a\nAll suddenly, of compassion\nFrom his courser, he alighted\nAnd brotherly, with a pitiful face\nTo save his life, began him to embrace\nAnd from his wound, of new affection\nFull busy was, to pull out the truncheon\nOf love only, handling him right softly\nBut alas, while he lay\nFull earnestly, Ethyocles the fell (fell upon)\nOf all this sorrow, very sour and well (true and bitter)\nwith a dagger. In all his pain, smote his brother, whose life-long wrath\nHe had been, and thus the Thebans were slain, both within and before the town gates. But the Greeks, though few,\nWere outside the field. And the worthy knights all\nRemained in Theban land, as any shall.\nThe city arose when her king was dead,\nAnd to the gates, armed foot and head\nCame many proud Thebans. And some on the walls ran,\nAnd began to shout. Such pitiful cries were heard,\nAnd they outside, bereft of life, comfort, or consolation,\nDespaired. And the Greeks followed at their heels.\nMany a one that day met with ruin.\nAnd as their ranks, proudly they assailed,\nFull many Greeks, through plates and through mail,\nWere shut in, pressed against the walls,\nAnd beaten with great rough balls.\nThere lay one and another.\nSo long the route was wrong. Many worthy Greeks\nThere lost their lives. They stood so close\nAnd at the gates. Shortly to tell\nAt the Greeks' presence to enter the city\nThe Thebans met them. In cruelty\nWith them, full furious and woe\nAnd mortally, as they stood against them\nMen might see. Spears shining separately\nThat to behold was a veritable wonder\nHow they feigned. With daggers and swords\nThrough the visor. Holding at beards\nPersing also. Through the round mails\nRent out pieces. Of her anteaters\nThat availed nothing. The mighty strangers\nThrough breast and neck. It was the mighty spears ran\nHer weapons were. So sharp ground and whetted\nIn their armor. There was no let\nFor there lay one. Trampled under foot\nAnd yonder one. Pierced to the heart rode\nHere lay one dead. And there another lame\nThis was the play. And the mortal game\nBetween Thebans and the proud Greeks\nThat the groans. And the cries loud\nOf them that lay. And yielded up the ghost\nWas heard far. About in many a cost.\nAnd at the gates. and saying of the wall, \"All the gentle blood of the land of green City was destroyed on a day. I was slain. All the royal blood, both of the town and of Greek land, and all the worthy knights in her hand, and of lords. I shall not deny, on Greek side, a life was but two. Lyng Adrastus and Campaneus. That day was so ungracious to them. And for Tydeus, Westrida was so low, That no man might, unnethes other know. The town shut her gates fast, In which no one might carve or hew. And Adrastus, with a few Greeks, Repaired is home to his tent, And all that night, he hastened and spent, In sorrow, complaining, And they in Thebes, the next day, suing Her deity's aid and busy cure, To ordain and make a sepulcher, For her king, Ismenus, in the field, And offered up his banner and his shield. It was a death, to any man a loving one, And if I should, by and by, discover Their tender weeping and her woeful plight, Her complaints, with taces dead and pale.\nI could make a new tale, it would take you all a day,\nAnd as my author clearly does certify,\nThroughout Greece, from all the regions,\nOut of Cytes and royal towns,\nCome all the ladies and women of estate,\nHeavy-hearted and disconsolate,\nTo assemble here, as I told you before,\nI purpose fully, to hold their journey towards Thebes,\nThese sorrowful creatures, to bewail their unfortunate experiences,\nThey took upon themselves, in truth, in womanhood,\nTo their lords, who lay dead in the field,\nAnd as the story goes, they declared,\nThis entire journey, they went on foot,\nLike pilgrims,\nIn token of mourning, they barbed their faces,\nEach one wept, and wore burnettes,\nNot in chariots, drawn forth with horses,\nNor on palfrays, black nor white,\nThe simple women could not delight,\nTo keep their way, but went on foot.\nSo faithfully, each one they meant,\nThrough heaviness, they defaced their hue,\nAnd as I find, they were all true.\nNow was not that a wonder to see?\nSo many true. Out of two thousand gathered. In a company, and faithful all. Books cannot lie To her door and inwardly in many, To my home. It was an uncouth thing Among a thousand women or two To find one who could in her heart feign It was a marvel. Not often seen a corn Forseldom in fields grows Any weed springs up there among Men always wines When they are too strong But her truth was meant with none always Found at all attempts And they did not cease Upon her journey Until they came there as they would be Where Adrastus wrote.

It would be too great a task to recount all. As you should understand, at the beginning, I took no more in hand by my promise and in conclusion, but to rehearse the destruction of mighty Thebes, briefly and no more. And thus, Adrastus still abode, in Argos his city, until his end. You get no more from me, save as my author compiles. After that, he lived but a while. For he was old, or the siege began. And thought and sorrow, therefore, soon ran upon him. In truth, the which shortened his days and set the time for death, which makes no delay. And all his joy passed and was gone. For of his lords, not one lived, but was slain at Thebes. You know all the case, and what this king, in Argos, buried was.

{"content": "These words are written in this gospel. And thus to be translated into English: Ihu our Savior made a proclamation with a high and great voice to the people who came to hear him, saying: Every man who has ears to hear may, if he is disposed, learn what is said to him. Bede says that these words are often repeated both in the gospels and in the apocrypha, and they contain great mystery concerning the pleasure of Almighty God. Say, Jerome in the chapter on John, shows that all the sermons and preachings that Christ Ihu made, he spoke them (cum magno clamore), by which he certified the people that he preached to of his great zeal and affection for their souls, and that they should be eager to hear the word of God, by which they would be delivered from all mortality and made by it (filias dei per adoptionem). Five proclamations specifically made by Christ Ihu.\nI note in his holy gospels, which are of that authority, that he who will not hear them and endeavor to keep them shall never come to everlasting joy. Therefore, friends, give heed to them more carefully. The first proclamation I note in the gospel for today is where he called the people who came from cities, towns, and villages, and showed them a parable of a sower who sowed in various places not suitable for the growth thereof, but that which was sown in good soil and earth multiplied and increased marvelously to the great riches of him who sowed it. Christ Jesus calls this seed his word by which all things are made and multiplied and have their being, as it is written. I. Q. I. In the Catholic. Oim reor I was recreated, and Oim reor was recreated in the word. Psalm. The word of the Lord endures forever. And Genesis. I. He said and it was done. And Psalm 23, Q. H. C. What, then?\n\nAnd just as a sower brings forth fruitless corn to the sustenance of man, so let your word be, which goes forth from your mouth, not returned to you, but accomplishes that which you desire, whether for good or for evil. (Mark 4:14)\nRight so the word of God sown in man's soul brings forth fruitful virtues, as is noted. I. Q. I. C. (Interrogo vos) / Man is the perfection of the whole work of God. He made heaven and celestial creatures invisible to us, mortal creatures being here on earth. And made man and other creatures here on earth terrestrial, but the perfection of his work is the conjunction of the soul, which is celestial, with the body, which is terrestrial. For the body, all things made here on earth, as tree, fruit, beasts, birds, and fish, and all other, are created to feed and serve the body, the body to serve the soul, and the soul only to serve almighty God. And therefore it is written (de penitencijs dist. i. recreatus). As almighty God has provided meat for the sustenance of the body in like manner, he has ordained spiritual food for the sustenance of the soul, which is his word, as he says in Matthew 24:45.\nBy the virtue of his blessed word, he has ordained that the material bread which feeds the body shall be transformed into his flesh and blood, and it becomes most precious food to feed the soul of man. Therefore, David says in the Psalms, \"Seek the Lord with all your heart. The voice of the Lord is in his majesty.\" This is to be understood, that the voice of the Lord's word has the virtue of majesty, that is, when his servant, in due form according to the law, says the words upon the material bread, there is majesty in the words. This is what converts that which was material bread into his flesh, and material wine into his blood. Which seasons the angels in heaven in their immolation are present in ministry and doing sacrifice to their maker, as it is written (de con. dist. ii. Quis fidelis). And of this you should not greatly marvel.\nFor a young maiden, our Lady Saint Mary spoke these five words: Fiat michi secundum verbum tuum. God and man were joined together in her womb. And so, when the priest says these five words (hoc est corpus meum), there is united in that material host, God and man - the same one who was born of our Lady and hanged on the cross, who rose from death to life and ascended to heaven. And is and shall be (iudex vivorum et mortuorum). And all faithful Christian men, who in true life and faith partake of it (viuet eternum), receive it as (viaticum). And it is (ad montem oreum) to strengthen man's soul to come to the presence of the Trinity, God made from the goodness of heaven and earth. From the compassion of the Redeemer, he sent the seed in the earth, spmcm.\net ex sua summa caritate quotidie pascit nos eis corpore et sanguine, ut essemus caro de carne eius et os de ossibus. Friends who hear this proclamation made by the Son of God and are called to eat of this blessed meat and will not, shall never come to heaven. The second proclamation that Christ made is written (John 19:21, 28), where He said, \"Whoever is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.\" Whoever desires to drink, let him come and drink from my drink, and he shall never be thirsty again. For just as He called them before to eat of His bread, so now He calls them to drink of His drink. This drink, friends, is the blessed blood and water that was let out of Christ's side when He was hanging on the cross \u2013 pure blood of our redemption and clear water of our regeneration. And not (flegma) as the heretic says, as is declared in the Suarez, Tridentine, and Catholic Catechisms.\nAnd of this blood and water that passed out of Christ's side, all the sacraments of the church, in whom all our salvation and health lie, have their effect. And just as water washes and cleanses all filth, so the sacrament of Baptism washes the soul from all original sin and venial sin, and is called (in. c. Cuthbert. Extra de Catechizandis Rudibus) and this sacrament has its effect through the word of God, as David says in the Psalm (After me, O God, thou hast showed favor to my anointed. Thou hast anointed the right hand of the me with the oil of gladness above thy companions), and just as when Christ was baptized, the Father showed His pleasure (in voice), the Son (in the flesh), and the Holy Ghost (in a dove), and all the angels were present at the reverence of the Institution of that sacrament. Rightly, at this season, at the baptism of every Christian creature, is the Holy Trinity present with angels. And there is infused in the soul of every Christian creature (the three theological virtues: Faith. Hope)\net caritas) According to the Clementine of Suares and the First Catholic, friends who ever may be baptized in water and will not, he shall not enter heaven. The third proclamation made by our Savior Christ is written (John xxi. and xxii. q. i. c. Quia divina et de peccatis, dist. vi. c. io.). When he raised Lazarus from death to life crying out with a great voice (Lazarus come forth), and the soul that was (in limbo) returned to the body and gave it life. Christ saying to his disciples (Solve et separate), every man being in mortal sin is dead in the sight of God. And among all the people of the world, there is none more odious than a traitor to the king, and all people fear to deal with him. And in like manner, he who is in mortal sin is odious to all creatures for his ingratitude and disobedience to Almighty God, as is noted (Sexx, q. iii.).\nLet no man despair if he comes at Christ's calling. And if he be in never so great sin and wretchedness, his word is of such effect and has grace and virtue which takes away all sin and breaks the gates of hell and all its power. And David says in the above-mentioned psalm, \"The voice of the Lord shatters the cedars.\" These words are the words of the Lord, when the priest says those words (Ego absolvo te a peccatis tuis). The proud trees of cedar, envy, anger, covetousness, with all other capital sins, are destroyed and will never appear to harm him who is confessed by them. This proclamation is of such necessity that whoever may be confessed to a priest (in forma ecclesiae) and will not, he shall never come to heaven.\n\nThe fourth proclamation Christ made when he hung on the cross and made his prayer to his Father for all sinners who would believe that he was God and man, when he said these words, \"Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do.\" Luke. xxiii. 34. and.\nThis sacrament signifies (sign of extreme unity), by which all venial sins are taken away, the impediments for entering into everlasting glory. This sacrament has its effect from the word of almighty God, as David recounts in the said Psalm. The voice of the Lord is over the waters. Just as a heart desires water for its help, so a soul desiring this sacrament primarily seeks heaven. This sacrament is petitionary and stands in prayer, just as Christ prayed on the cross. In the ministry of this sacrament, the priest, appealing to diverse parts of man's body, beseeches Almighty God that whatever this creature has offended Him in its heart, by its eyes, ears, hands and feet, or any other part by which it has displeased Him, may forgive it (ut extra sacramentum uncti. c. Vicarius). Whoever will not receive this sacrament and may, shall not come to the glory of heaven.\nThe fifth proclamation shall be made by command of Christ Jesus, who is (king and pontiff), at the day of judgment. A loud cry and voice will be heard at that hour, and all mankind, both faithful and infidels, shall rise with the same bodies they have here now, and they shall be incorruptible. And all faithful Christian men who have kept Christ's proclamations shall receive everlasting joy by the sentence of Christ Jesus (pontiff), to whom alone the pronunciation of the judgment is given: \"Receive the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.\" (Matthew 25:34). And so to receive everlasting joy and be confirmed in the same. This proclamation and sentence represent the sacrament of Confirmation. Which must only be administered by a bishop, as is written (unic. de sacra unctionis). And in that, they shall have grace and strength, as the Codex distinguishes (dist. ii, c. ad huc).\nAnd though a man baptized dies, he shall have everlasting joy, but not as fully as if he were confirmed. It is ordered by the church that a child confirmed within three days shall wear a shirt or bind about the neck as a sign he has become a servant of the three persons and one God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Therefore David speaking of this sacrament calls it the sacrament of great virtue and grace for the stable confirmation, saying, \"Vox Domini in virtute.\" And whoever may receive this sacrament and will not, he shall never enter the kingdom of heaven. There are two other sacraments instituted by Christ which the taker may choose to receive or not. They bind the takers to observe them under the pain of their condemnation. Which are the sacraments of matrimony and order.\nOf the sacrament of matrimony speaks David in the foregoing psalm, saying: \"The voice of the bridegroom is heard, the voice of the bridegroom cries out; he whose desire is for me, follows after me. By this sacrament of matrimony, the mortal nature of sin is turned into venial in various cases (as in Psalm 26: Distinctio 2 and 34: Question 2).\n\nAs for the sacrament of order, it is the second, which is conferred in the election of bishops. It imprints an indelible character and grants special grace. He is ordained specifically to administer all other sacraments.\n\nOf this order and its power, David speaks in the above-mentioned psalm, saying: \"The voice of the Lord calls to the desert, make his way in the wilderness, in the wasteland prepare the way for our God. His office is to live among us, instructing and moving us with his good example and holy doctrine (reproving, arguing, exhorting, and admonishing). And they are ordained to love God primarily, as is noted in Hosea 3:1.\"\nI have shown you these five proclamations, which must be kept under pain of your damnation. Therefore, I say to you, with Christ: \"Who has ears to hear, let them hear.\" That is, you who hear the word of God, receive it devoutly and print it perfectly in your souls. God Almighty, friends, never left man without remedy for the salvation of his soul, as in the Old Testament there were circumcision and sacrifice of beasts and other things given in that form, which were expirations for sin for that time, but they had no power to open heaven's gates and bring man in. And there, when he ascended corporally, he left in his church the seven sacraments.\nsacraments in remembrance of his passion and to have their virtue from the same / as is written in the chapter (Cuesta Maria de ce missarum) \u00b6 He left his mother here behind him, who lived several years after him to instruct the apostles and evangelists in his incarnation and blessed life and commandments. / And as the great doctor Albertus says on the gospel (Missus est angelus Gabriel), that our lady received all the sacraments of the church except priesthood. For the first reason (propter humilitationem), because it was first our mother Eve who was condemned for her pride, she showed all meekness in her life and would be purified though she did not need it, but be as one among them like her son Christ Ihu would be circumcised as a child, as St. Bernard says.\nThe second cause was that every man and woman should receive their sacraments, as her son had commanded (Matthew 28:19-20): \"Teach ye them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.\"\n\nThe third cause, as written in Revelation (21:7): \"He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.\"\n\nThough she was sanctified from the beginning, from her mother's womb, and filled with grace, and more so in conceiving her son, yet she received the sacraments not for purgation of sin but to grow in their effect.\n\nShe would be baptized as her son was and receive the baptismal name among Christian people, distinguishing herself from the Jews.\nShe was confessed to the Evangelist of no sin but giving praise and praying to almighty God, if it please Him (xvo. c. xvio.).\n\nYou know right well, brethren, that credence is not to be given to any proclamation but to that which comes by the king's high command and under his seal. Proclamations are made in various places of the cities and lands, to the end they should be well understood, and no man after to plead Ignorance thereof. To the transgressors and breakers thereof, sometimes the penalty is treason, sometimes death, imprisonment, and loss of their goods, as the law assigns in that behalf (noted: extra de constit. c. faili).\n\nThese proclamations friends ought to be accepted above all others, for they come from the King of all kings, almighty God. (Apocalypse xix. 16, and de Constit. iiij. c. proprie. et de re. judic. c. ii.)\nThis glorious Godhead stands in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost (Pater est deus. filius eius. spiritus sanctus eius deus). Of one essence and power, and he who displeases one displeases all (qui tribus illis unum est). No man may resist Him (in coelo neque in terra. John xvij. and in the Gospel according to Matthew, Martha in the house of the marriage feast, Dist. i. Sapientia xli. and in the Gospel according to Luke, Dist. i. Liberator. et de Purgatorio, post pertu). And that His proclamation should be more authoritative to be accepted, the Father sent His only-begotten Son, the second person of the Trinity, to make these proclamations, and He assumed humanity in every condition as we are, except for sin. And with a plenary commission given to Him, all power in heaven and on earth was granted to Him, as is noted (Matthew utliusque. And in John ii. De plenitudine eius, os nos accepimus grammatam. De consolatione, Dist. i. Sapientia li. et Dist. ii. Saxa, et de peccatoribus, Dist. i. Liberator. et de purgatorio).\nAnd the second person of the Trinity was sent on this message, to be the Son of Man, just as He was in the Trinity, the Son of the Father, as noted by the master of the Sentence. His nativity was proclaimed by angels at Bethlehem the night of his birth, as is read (Luke 2:14). And they said, \"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men of good will.\" And the shepherds were told, \"Go and find the infant lying in a manger, and wrap Him in swaddling clothes.\" So friends, right as a man having his garments upon him, you may not see his proper naked body. Right so Christ, being here on earth in human form, His divinity was not seen, but the humanity was the instrument and garment thereof (John 1:14). \"No one has seen God at any time.\"\nEt in Exodus. IX, 6: \"The father also proved that he was his only begotten son and had commission in heaven in the earth, and upon all creatures, as it is written in Matthew, XV:24-25. And as it proved in his transfiguration, for out of hell he called Moses, and out of paradise the prophet Elijah, and the Father appeared (in voice), saying, \"This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye him.\" (Matthew 17:5) And we read in the hundred and fourth Psalm and the third chapter of the First Book of Kings, and so our maker and father almighty God wills and commands that we shall hear him, accept him as our only begotten son, and by him and his word we shall be restored to our inheritance, which man is excluded for the preceding disobedience of our first father Adam, who was commanded by the second person of the Trinity not to eat (of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil) and broke his word and command.\"\nWhen the noble messenger, the Son of God and man, in accordance with his Father's commandment, had made his holy proclamations, the Jews asked him by what authority he took upon himself to make new laws and proclamations. And he answered, saying, as is written in John 1: \"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.\" And it is written in John 5: \"If I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe me; but if I do, though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.\"\nAnd yet I have sufficient power to save the world, and I will prove it by your laws and scriptures. Witnesses sufficient and adequate were given to you, when I spoke with Moses on the mount and gave you the law (on tablets of stone). He wrote upon me when he said, \"Prophecy to your brethren, that they may know you, and recognize my words in their ears.\" And concerning me, my power and knowledge he prophesied. In the same way, you sent to John the Baptist, your priest, and levites, whom you held in great veneration for his virtue and holiness. He was in that season (a lamp shining). And he confirmed it to you what I was. I need no testimonial from man, for I have the testimony of my Father in heaven that He is in me and I in Him. And you understand that none may forgive sin but Almighty God. And that I am God and man, and have power over both body and soul, it is read (in Matthew 9 and Luke, distinction 3, section 2).\nProduct of the Jews. And they brought before me a man who had the palsy in every part of his body. Seeing their devotion and faith, I said to the sick man, \"Confide, fili, remittatur tibi peccata tua\" (Trust, son, your sins are forgiven you). The scribes and Pharisees being present, when I forgave him, thought that I took upon me the office of God and not man. I said to them, \"Hic blasphemas\" (This man blasphemes). Understanding their forward hearts, I said to them. Is it less difficult to forgive sin, or to bid this man lying shaking in his bed to rise and go? And you shall see that God and man have power on earth to forgive sin. I say to the man, rise, take up your bed and go home to your house. This man was healed in every part of his body instantly and without any trace of time, which passed all natural power of man, and did as Christ commanded him. The water knew that he was God when he walked on it, as Matthew 14 and 21, dist. c. Si quid.\nThe earth knew him when he hung on the cross (Matthew 27:54). The sun, moon, and stars, along with other elements, recognized him (in his passion) and withdrew their light (Matthew 27:45). And all creatures recognized him and sanctified him, except the Jews. And many bodies that had been buried for many years rose from the dead in the time of his resurrection and appeared to many people, confirming to them that he was God and man. \u00b6 And as it is written by a devout doctor, the princes of the Jews, who had put Christ unto death, heard that such bodies had risen and were confirmed by them. They sent diverse men of substance to see and speak with them and to know the truth. And this was done, by which many of them were converted. Therefore, it is evidently proven that Christ has power in heaven and on earth and is (judge of the living and the dead). Therefore, it is expedient to take heed of his laws and proclamations.\nAnd therefore I say to you the words of my time. Whoever will listen, let him listen. I showed you before that proclamations should be made in various places of the land's cities, so that no man should pretend ignorance. Ignorance is a great danger, for it is the mother of all errors, as is written in Dist. Ignorantia, xxviii. In the positive law, certain persons may be excused for certain causes. However, in the law of nature and the law of God, they are not excused for having dull wits and being of lawful age (ut in P.C. c. Quis quaestio edat, Dist. Et turpe ignotare ius circa quod quis verus sit, ff. De origine iuris, l. ii, ss. Si ius, et xxviii, Dist. Quis de mensa). There is nothing more inconvenient than a man being ignorant of the law which he is daily conversant with, as is written. xxviii, Si in laicis intolerabilis inscientia. [Q] to magis in clerics. No excuses are worthy [of them], nor forgiveness. Therefore, it is written in the said chapter (Ignorantia, xxviii).\n\"All priests are supposed to understand (sacred scriptures and canons) and use them in their preaching and good examples, or else they will face the punishment that God speaks of through His prophet. \"There are three specific ignorances to my purpose at this time (as in 2 Corinthians 4:4. Ignorance reclined, thick, and affected). Reclined and thick is that thing which is openly done and proceeded, yet some refuse to understand it. The Jews, for example, were ignorant of Christ's coming, despite the prophecies, miracles, angels, and other signs. And yet they persisted in their obstinacy and refused to recognize Him out of malice.\"\nEt ignorancia affectata is it, when a man may be learned to understand and will not endeavor him to have it, but refuses in manner to have knowledge of it, and they are the persons that David spoke of in the sawter.\n\nNoluit intelligere ut bene ageret), they will not understand to do well. \u00b6 Saint Paul speaking of these three ignorances says (ignorans ignorabitur), and as it follows in the same distinction. He that will not know God here on earth and follow his commandments, God will not know him at the day of judgment, but say to him as it is written (Matthew xxv. et. i. q. i. c. prophetauit. Ameo dico vobis nescio vos). Christ said to the Jews when they would not believe in his words, nor his miracles, nor believe in him (Moriemini in pccis veris), I have shown you both by my preachers, prophets, and also come myself to teach you, and so you can lay no excuse.\nRight so, friends, many a noble sermon is said in this place in the year, and in like manner throughout the realm, showing you the laws of God and how you shall please Him in leaving your sins of pride, covetousness, simony, usury, adultery, fornication, and all other mortal sins. And as men say, there was never more pride, covetousness, usury, and other capital sins used than there are now. And truly, brothers, I am sure that in no other realm in Christendom are there so many noble clerks and curates in all manner of faculties and virtues as there are in this realm of England. And though not all are as perfect as they should be, yet love and worship the other good ones. For Peter, John, and other apostles ought not to be despised because of Judas, who was an apostle. St. Austin says, \"Blame not my house if there is one in it who is not good, for I cannot make my house better than Abraham's house.\" To whom was said, \"Ece ancilla cu filio eius.\"\nAnd in Noah's house, the son scorned the father. And in Crispus' house, the servant betrayed the master, as noted in Quaestion 49, Distinction 5.\n\nIt is read that in all of Christianity, it is divided after spiritual division in dioceses. And every diocese has a bishop who has care of the whole diocese, and all the diocese is his parish. And the diocese is divided into parishes, and every parish has a church and a curate limited to it. And every man who dwells within the said parish is a parishioner of it.\n\nIt is also read in Luke 2:1-3, that the season that Christ should be born, every man was commanded to go to the place where he was born, and there he should make his profession to the emperor with a certain tribute, and his name to be written and sent to the emperor. And therefore Joseph went to Bethlehem to make his profession where he was born.\nBelief friends (interpreters of the house of the bread of Bethlehem) and it signifies to every man his parish church, which is the place of his regeneration, where he shall be fed with the bread of Bethlehem, Christ Ih\u0304u, and with his sacraments, which have (oe\u0304m dulcedine\u0304) for the salvation of man. No man ought to be baptized but in his parish church / nor to be shriven by the law / but by his curate, who has charge of his soul, as it is noted (in. c. Ois extra de pe. & re) Nevertheless, there are other places where men may be shriven, as in places where pardons are granted. And to certain friars who are admitted to hear confession. Nor should he be houseled but in his parish church, and also there to be buried, except he chooses some other place making in his own church his (vltimu\u0304 vale). To this Bethlehem his parish church he ought to come every holy day and other days if conveniently may, to love, & to hear his mass & evensong.\nAnd whoever absents himself from his parish church during service and goes about in other places is likely to fall into great error and heresy. William Durant, in his book called \"Raco\u0304nale diuino,\" says that every Sunday a curate goes into the pulpit to show the people how each one should pray for one another and other necessary things for the week following, in keeping holy days or fasting for the health of their souls. He stands high, intending to see if any of his parishioners are absent, and if anyone is accustomed to be absent, he should report it to the bishop. He should also bid strangers to go to their own churches, except they are pilgrims. And though it is so, I am sure Almighty God is greatly pleased with the perfect living of men of religion for their contemplation, prayers, good example, and preaching also.\nBut in every openion, Paris churches be the ones that hold and keep the people in good rule to love and serve God for their preservation. Therefore, I exhort you to love, honor, and maintain them, as loved by God, they are honorable here in this city and in other places of this realm, to the great pleasure of God. David says (Psalms 27:4) and Solomon had his great wisdom for edifying the house of God, as is noted (16:5, 36:26, Ecclesiastes 1:9, 1:10). We see by experience that friends, it is to the place where proclamations are made that much people resort, and in their return, many of them vary in their recollection and cannot tell the very truth, for their variability to others who did not hear the proclamations made.\nA wise man who wants to know the proclamation and such things comprised in it and avoid the penalty should go to the king's Chancery where the original is under the king's seal and get a copy of it, memorizing it well so he does not forget. In the Chancery, there is my lord Chancellor, as well as 12 masters and certain other officers, such as clerks and scribes, to write and serve the people with matters concerning the law. And as Breton says in his book which he made about the law of the land, \"No one can withdraw from the chancellor without remedy.\" And all statutes, proclamations, and the king's high commands and all other ordinances for the realm's wellbeing are rolled there. The church of God may well be called the Chancery. The Chancellor of this is Christ Jesus, as St. Paul says, \"He is the head of the church. And no one can place another foundation other than that which is laid, which is Christ.\" And he also says, \"To the Ephesians, the fourth.\"\nAnd Saint Augustine says in this verse, \"For your sake, they were born to be your leaders among men.\" (Psalm 68:31, Psalm 118:9)\n\nAnd he says in another place, \"The Church has yet apostles, who are bishops (and seventy-two disciples), prophets and evangelists, preachers of the word of God. Pastors and the holy doctors who expounded the Scripture. And this priesthood with all its ministers shall endure to the end of the world. And all tyrants who ever were, or could ever destroy it, or any shall.\"\n\nFor as John Chrysostom says, \"Christ ordained angels, prophets, apostles, martyrs, confessors, virgins, and all others for his Church.\"\nAnd at last came he. Though he made the world with one word, yet he built his church for a space of thirty-four years. And he said to Peter: \"I have given you faith; may it not fail you\" (21st dist. of St. John). And the church universal cannot err (in its entirety of faith). For Almighty God says through his prophet David speaking of the church: \"With an open mouth I will not deceive them\" (Psalms 119:160). That is, the will and disposition that the church makes for the well-being of the human soul concerning faith shall be ever true and stable. The church is our mother; for she must nourish and teach us to please Almighty God and the way to come to heaven. In her doctrine and holy scripture there is no falsehood or feigned matter, but all truth and wisdom for the well-being of the human soul. For as St. Augustine writes to St. Jerome and is noted (10th dist. Ego solus): \"There is no falsehood nor lying in all the scripture.\" And St. Jerome says as it is written (22nd question, Quid ergo):\n\"Wherefore no man should despise to learn at this school, the church. For as St. Paul writes (to the Ephesians ii.4: For he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love.), and St. Jerome says that the angels did not know the plenary mystery of the Incarnation until the time that Christ suffered his passion. And the apostles preached and taught through the church. And John Chrysostom says in his prologue (Super Ioannem: Nam et nos angelis per Iohannis vocem et nos didicimus), and it follows that without doubt the angels give great attention to the word of God when it is preached. And it is great honor and joy for us that the angels learn with us and through us that which they did not know before. And so, friends, whoever is not of Christ's school, is against him, as he himself says, the words written. Luke xi. and xxiv. q. 1. Qm\u0304 vetus. He is not with us.\"\nA heretic is one who interprets Scripture according to his will rather than the sense intended by the holy ghost. And a presumptuous man defends any error condemned by the church. (Heresis est) He is a heretic who understands sacred scripture differently than the common sense (quam sensus spurus sancti efflagitat) as written in xxiv, q. iii, Heresies. And a heretic is he who interprets the words of Christ (Hoc est enim corpus meum) written in his holy scripture (Math. xvi, Matt. xxiv, Luc. xxii, and John vi, dist. ii, c. Loquidio et c.).\nThe priest should not perform the transformation from the material bread into his flesh, and the wine into his blood, for your sake, lest he become a liar. He himself says, \"I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.\" John 6:51, 53, 55, 58. And this is true, says St. John the Evangelist, affirming, \"Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.\" John 6:53, 54. Friends, this word (Amen) is an oath of that importance that it could not be properly translated.\nAnd so says Jerome and other translators that it stands for this signification in the scripture (apud Hebreos). But it signifies another in every place of faith and truth. And John doubles his oath where he says (Amen amen) in the Instruction of faithful men, and to the condemnation and expulsion from heaven of all heretics. Or else he doubles this oath swearing that there were two natures in Christ, the deity and the humanity. And again, against such heretics, he wrote his gospels, that Christ was God and man. Thou heretic should believe me rather than false Paul. He says as it is written (ad Corinth), \"I never learned the scripture that I write to you from any man, but from God almighty\" (Et si angelus de celo evangeliset vobis Petro {quam} euangelisavimus vobis. Anathema sit. ad Galat. i. et xi. q. iii. c. Si. i. s. qi pest). And speaking of the blessed sacrament of the water, as is written (prio. ad Corinth. xio.), he says:\nThe night before Christ our savior suffered his passion, he took bread, blessed it, broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, \"Take this bread and eat it. This is my body which will be given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.\" These words spoke Saint Paul in truth, not in figure, that the bread was transformed into his flesh and blood, revealing to every man who should receive it that he should be out of sin to avoid damnation. Friends, though there have been infinite arguments to prove it otherwise after these words were said, the bread was not changed and made the body of Christ, will never be understood without the light of true faith. (20. q. i)\nI. There was a great doctor from the University of Paris who continually disputed the essence of the sacrament of the altar. In the end, he fell into grave error regarding this matter through his reasoning and was deeply troubled. He sought counsel from various doctors. Finally, he came to an accomplished doctor who said to him, \"Brother, you have been too preoccupied in disputing the sacrament of the altar. Believe as the church believes, as is your duty and that of all Christians. Do not go further.\" He followed this advice and was delivered from his error.\n\nII. The law of Cyull says, \"He who denies sustenance is seen as a murderer.\" The blessed body of Christ is our sustenance and means to bring us to heaven, and it is called [viaticum]. As for these false heretics who seek to lead us astray and bring us to hell with them, as the said law of Cyull states, it is not long to argue with them, being obstinate as they are. Instead, give them what is ordained for them \u2013 fire.\nYou know right well, friends, that the Chancery and all persons belonging to it are privileged, and they or none of them shall be counted or sewn in any court but only in the same court of the Chancery. And if any of them is sewn in any other court, the Chancellor will send a writ called \"corpus cum causa\" or else a \"certiorari,\" and remove the cause and bring the person to his own court. And in like manner it is daily done in the king's bench and the common pleas, and in the king's court as well, and they will not have their privileges disputed but they will interpret them themselves. Christ Jesus, God and man, his Chancery is the church, as was said before. And he has privileged it himself and given it liberties, that none should deny or break it. For the perpetuity thereof, he has put it in his testament and sealed it, and also confirmed it (morte eius ut ex. de cele missarum).\nAnd as I said before, no man should interpret his will and his scripture but himself, his church, and those whom he has given authority: his apostles and those who succeed them in their places, as is written in the gospel of today: \"To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven. But as for them, they are given in parables.\" In the Old Testament, friends were anointed by bishops, kings, prophets, and priests. And all these persons and things thus anointed should be held in honor, and no man should deal with them but those who were anointed and stood in the same dignity. Therefore, the Almighty God gives a general commandment, saying through His prophet David: \"Do not touch My anointed ones. And do no harm to My prophets.\" And He also says through His prophet Zachariah: \"Who touches you touches the pupil of My eye.\" This text is declared by the holy fathers (2nd question, 7th).\nA right as a man holds the precious thing he cherishes most in the ball of his eye, almighty God holds most reverence, which are the executors of His will against His adversary, the devil. And it follows in the same text, every man would chastise his servant who offends him, himself, and suffer no other man. In like manner, almighty God would not have His servants, the priests, anointed and chastised but by those He has appointed by His law, nor would He have them scourged, for they are the pillars which hold up His church, as it is read (10 c. iij. Dist. Dn\u0304s noster Ih\u0304s Xp\u0304s. rex iudeo{rum}. et deus noster. vs{que} ad passionis die\u0304 seruauit honore\u0304 pontifici{bus} et sacerdotibus. Quamvis illi nec timore\u0304 dei nec agnoscere\u0304 Xp\u0304i servassent). And as He says of Himself (Ioh\u0304. xxv. Non vos me elegistis, sed ego vos elegi. ex. de sensibus. c. procurators in fine).\nAnd when it pleased him to be taken and led to his passion, he said to the knights who took him, \"If you seek me, let my apostles go.\" That is to say, \"Allow my apostles to depart.\" For you have no jurisdiction over them, nor over me, except that I will allow you this. John xix. et xxij. q. i. Quid culpavisti. et xxii. q. i. c. Mouet\n\nAlso, friends, besides this privilege granted by Almighty God to his church, there are other privileges granted to it by popes, emperors, and kings. And by general councils which bind the whole world, for all kings are present for their lands and communes, and all bishops for their churches, dioceses, and clergy.\nAnd in these general councils cursed are all who breach the liberties of the church, which remains in the material church, preventing any violence therein but honoring it (ut mater nostra). And no man should lay hands on spiritual persons ordered nor invade their goods and spoil them against their will. If they do, they are cursed. And also cursed are all makers of statutes, writers, and keepers, or those who favor the said statutes and their makers, as is noted (ex. sen. ex. c. Nouerit. et. c. grave). It is a great shame for a friend to go and do contrary to his own promised deed and led by him. And some doctors (incidit in poenam ad Turpilianum. ff.)\n\nIn this realm being in great trouble during the time of King John Henry.\nAnd Henry the second and the third, for the pleasure of God and the delight of the land, made a statute called Magna Carta. It should be inviolably kept and observed by the king and all the temporal lords and the community through their attorneys. And all the bishops of the realm being in this same place, Pouls Cross (in pontificalibus), cursed those who broke any article contained in the same. In the which (Magna carta), by these words written, the liberties of the Church of God are, as is above said, such that no temporal judge shall have any jurisdiction in a spiritual person under the pain previously stated. And daily, against the will of God, his law, and the determination of his Church, the contrary is done. As Pharaoh despised the preaching of Moses and the commandment of God, it is decreed that he should cease his persecution of the people of Israel.\nAnd yet Moses spoke to them to cease and keep God's commandment. The more rigorous and cruel he became until he was drowned in the Reed Sea, and all his great judges and officers with him. For he and his council would not understand God's commandment or the words of his prophet. Therefore, it is written of him (Exod. 5:22, 24:14, Num. 20:12, Nebuchadnezzar in Dan. iv. 30) that is, His heart is so indurate that he will not understand the commandment of the almighty God shown by his prophet, but as it pleased him.\n\nJohn Andrew, in the book called Jerome, says that there was a Greek and a heretic who disputed with a Catholic priest in the church of Jerusalem. The said priest called him Saint Jerome, and the heretic said to him again, \"Your Jerome lies falsely,\" and forthwith his tongue was taken away from him, and he spoke no more.\nAnd in the same way, one of the Arian sect said that St. Jerome was false, and his writings were not true. The devil entered him, and he cried out (Jeronime Jeronime) and died in wretchedness.\n\nIt is written also in the law, \"None is good at dice\" (Exodus 20:17). And there were also certain men who played at dice. At the next meeting, when they should play, one of them said, \"I will play at dice in spite of Jerome.\" Austin decrees and all others present, and forthwith the devil slew him and carried his body away through the rough house, leaving the stinking bowels behind.\nBy this charter, friends, we may understand that the authority of the church and the preaching of its ministers thereof ought not to be despised, but with all reverence to be honored. Brothers, understand well the words of the said charter.\n\nMagna Carta) in which is said (Habeat ecclesia anglicana libertates suas. non tuas) not that you grant it any liberties, but that they should have their own, given them by God and the holy fathers of the church - popes, emperors, kings, and integras. Not a part of their liberties, but they should have them whole without any division (et illesas), not to be hurt by any interpretation or wrong declaration, but according to the intellect of Christ's church. And for the very perfect intellect, temporal men should not deal with any spiritual person, but let the church have its whole liberty.\nSaint Thomas of Canterbury, whom heaven and earth take as a saint, died for no other reason than for the liberties of the church. And therefore we say in our service to almighty God in his praise: Deus, cuius ecclesia gloriae Pontifex et martyr Thomas occubuit [and it is recorded that Christ said to him: Thomas, thou art blessed {as much as} I am with my apostle Peter. Do thou [it]]. And it is to be presumed, brethren, that if Saint Thomas of Canterbury were now living, those who directly oppose the liberties of the church would put him to death again, as Paul says (to the Hebrews, book five, chapter two, verse three): \"For we know him who said, 'Vengeance is mine, I will repay.' And again, 'The Lord will judge his people.' It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.\" The church friends of God in every realm of Christendom, heed this. Christ is with us.\nThe church of Rome (Sedes apostolica) is our mother and we are all generated by her (vera fide) and dispensed in (castitate) to Christ Ihu. And the liberties which he has given are not given to one church singular but to all as one, as he says himself, \"words written (.xxiiij. q. i. loquitur). oibus una ecclesia mea. perfecta mea et una mater sue electa generatricibus sue.\" And whoever wishes to divide them or take privilege from one of them, he takes it from them all, and is deemed by all the law (ut scismaticus), and stands accursed, as is noted (xxiij. q. h. No vos. et tunica dm in consilium). He would divide again against the will of God (ut. xxiij. q. i. Qm), and in that he is of worse disposition than the Jews were, who said (No scindamus ea. s soriamur de ea).\n\nIt is an argument with some people that a priest or a consecrated person does a temporal deed, why should he not be punished by a temporal judge?\nThis reason has no place where a prohibition is given and a certain judge limit is set by God's law for the punishment of a person so ordered. For the offense, a friend does not change the jurisdiction's decision in this case, and though he who is convicted would consent in a temporary judge, he may not (per. t.). And it is often said that the bishops of England have given consent to this, which they cannot do by the law. And such who did so are cursed, and their consent is, as no consent (potis. i\u0304 cri\u0304ali). It is read in 2 Samuel 24:\n\nGreat variance was between David and Saul, a king anointed. And whereas David might have slain him and spared, he saw that he tore a piece of Saul's garment, a token that he might have destroyed him. Yet in it, David was anointed; David had great conscience and said (propius sit michi Dn\u0304s. ne extenda\u0304 manibus mea\u0304 in Xp\u0304m Dm\u0304):\n\nFor as St. Augustine says in the chapter (Dn\u0304s. I. q. I. qd: Saul no\u0304 had innocence. And yet he had sanctity:).\nNo merit in his life was there. But Judas was not unwelcome. Cryst knew that Judas was a traitor to Him, and showed it to His disciples, as it is written in Ioannes (2:1-2). Cryst said, \"None of you have I chosen but one of you is a devil.\" Yet He did not deprive him (of apostleship) but suffered him in His company until he had hanged himself, as is written (Matthew 10:40, John 13:18-19). And all the sacraments administered by him were approved, though he was not well disposed towards himself. Therefore, David, in his satire after him, warned all faithful men in avoiding the great displeasure of God, saying, \"Do not touch My anointed ones, and do no harm to My prophets,\" as Bede says concerning this Gospel.\n\nCleaned Text: No merit in his life was there, but Judas was not unwelcome. Cryst knew that Judas was a traitor to Him and revealed it to His disciples, as it is written in Ioannes (2:1-2). Cryst said, \"None of you have I chosen but one of you is a devil.\" Yet He did not deprive him (of apostleship) but suffered him in His company until he had hanged himself, as is written (Matthew 10:40, John 13:18-19). And all the sacraments administered by him were approved, though he was not well disposed towards himself. Therefore, David, in his satire after him, warned all faithful men in avoiding the great displeasure of God, saying, \"Do not touch My anointed ones, and do no harm to My prophets,\" as Bede says concerning this Gospel.\nI. They [are] sent against the priests, as Herod did, without cause, according to Acts xij. He beheaded Saint James and imprisoned Saint Peter for the same reason.\n\nII. Brothers, do not grudge a clerk the promotion to great dignity in the Church, as you see daily, poor men exalted to rule. For it is the providence of God that the sons of poor men and the virtuous are exalted. He will also distribute spiritual and temporal dignities at his pleasure.\n\nIII. He called the first king Saul from keeping asses, and David the second king from keeping sheep. And said to Peter from fishing and other apostles, and made them princes of the whole world.\nConstitutes they the princes over the earth. This fellow who speaks and maliciously argues against the church in their reasoning and arguments to oppress its authority, can be likened to a dog when the moon shines fair and bright. He barks and bays against it as if he would destroy it, yet he neither understands what it is nor does it lie within his power to harm it. And this barking, malicious person against the church and its authority shall be struck with God's vengeance and buried in the stinking ditch of hell, as heretics ought to be, as is read (in heretics. ex. per totum).\n\nIn the beginning of my sermon, I said friends, it is expedient for him who did not hear the proclamations to go to the Chancery and get himself a copy of them, so that he might keep them and avoid the penalties of them.\nSaynt Austen states that all Christian people stand under one faith in two kinds: priests and laymen. These two groups primarily ought to heed Christ's proclamations and internalize them. Each one of them must account for the observance and keeping of the same.\n\nFirst, regarding the priesthood, they should have a reminder in this manner: Be holy, as I am your maker and God. (Leviticus 19:2 and 20:7) You ought to be. And to worship and love me above all things. I formed your souls in my image of immortality. When you defiled it and lost your inheritance, I took on your nature and made myself like you. I was conversant among you in the world as your priest and sacerdote. I gave you power that I never gave to any creature before. For just as Almighty God created all things from nothing\nRight so you my priests / shall change the nature of bread and wine into my flesh and blood / by which you are (os de ossibus meis et carne mea) You have power also to open heaven gates & spare them. Against your power all hell may not resist. I have bought with my precious blood of my father all obligations / tithes (primogenita) & all other livelihood and goods belonging to the church here miltitau2 / & given them to you servants of my church so that you shall lack nothing. \u00b6 Origen says upon this text (Leviticus xiv)\nEvery priest who is consecrated and deputed to Almighty God, and every part of his body ought to be consecrated. No man should touch them except those who are consecrated. And every man received into holy order should profess chastity, as noted (xxviij. Dist. Ecce i Prin. Cuius). According to St. Jerome, Almighty God has a household in heaven of virgins and pure creatures. Similarly, Christ set up His household and His church here, and wanted chaste people and virgins. Therefore, by law, every man received into holy order should profess chastity, as St. Cyprian says in the chapter (nec aliqua. xxvii. q. i).\nA priest should never be more jealous of his wife than Christ is of his priests, who have taken vows of chastity. And a priest is forbidden (extra de vi. et ho. cle), according to the law of God and his church (quod nec sint sordidi nec fulgidi. neque nimis longe. nec nimis curte. xli. dist. ss. i.), to dwell among women. It is hard for a priest to be among scorpions and not be poisoned. A priest should also use his garments according to God's law and his church, and should always be distinguishable and known by his garments from laymen. If you see a priest going about like a layman, with his tippet, slippers, and long sleeves, it is to be presumed that he has repented of ever having forsaken the habit of a layman and therefore wears it. The penalty for those who go about so is, according to the law, suspension from the ministry and other penances in the Clementines (de vita et ho. cle. e use therof), but the abuse of them is not permitted.\nAnd Saint Jerome says (12. q. 2. c. Auro. Auro ecclasia nobis ut servet. suas ut erroget. et in necessitatibus subueniat), and Christ had (loculos) gold and silver for his college (et pro eigenis et pauperibus), giving an example as is read in (12. 1. c. Exemplum), that it is lawful for the church to have gold and silver under him as dispensers. Therefore we all bishops, persons vicars, and other spiritual persons have the church's goods (ad ministeres), and spend them according to his commandment, according to his law and his church, in four ways, as is noted (.xii. q. ii. .c. Quatuor. cu. c. sc), which are these. First, that his church and chancel belong to him honorably and worshipfully be repaired. In this, he pleases God particularly, and to himself great worship and merit.\nThe second part of his good should be spent above repair of his manor and living it to be readily repaired and kept accordingly to his behavior sufficiently. The third part to be spent on hospitality, keeping house and giving meat and drink to his parishioners and other poor folks, and in this you shall be compared to Abraham and Lot, who in keeping house fed angels and were delivered from great persecution through them. And in your keeping house, you shall greatly please Peter and Paul. It persuades and helps the poor people, as is written (24. q. 2. Glossa): No man may spend their goods more honorably than in these four causes which Christ and his church has assigned us. And at our coming to Christ, we shall have a special thanks with words of comfort.\nEvery good and faithful servant, and if you die in great riches and keep it (in a purse), and spend it not in repair of your church/mansion/keeping household/giving to poor people according to God's commandment and his church, you shall be called (a servant) and called a thief with Judas, who had Christ's money in administration/and spent it otherwise than was Christ's commandment to his own use and pleasure. And therefore he is called \"Fraud\" in the Gospel of John and in the said chapter (ex. 12:6). And have the pain limited as he has/written (ex. De pe. clericorum in c. penultimo).\n\nThe copy of the bill for remembrance of the proclamations for secular men is this: That David speaks by the authority of the Holy Ghost. Iusti hereditabunt terra. Psalm xxxv. For as every priest in his conversation and deeds ought to be holy, so every Christian man ought to be (just) a true man.\nAnd as you know, a father takes great pleasure in his child being like him in favor and condition. In the same way, Almighty God takes great pleasure in his children, true men, being like Him. Iustus dns. et iusticias. dilexit. equitate vidit vos.\n\nAnd as Aristotle says, no virtue makes a man as like Almighty God as justice. The property of man is to desire to be happy in this world and to live forever to have a good name and fame, and to have such things necessary for his existence, and to have that which he has entrusted.\n\nAmong all moral virtues, none preserves a man in all things as does the virtue of justice with true faith and charity. And therefore it is written, \"A just man shall live by faith. Hebrews x. and Deuteronomy xxiv. question i. vbi. Et iustus germinabit sicut lilii.\" A true man to be accepted and flourish in the sight of all good men, and they to be glad of his company.\nA just man shall endure like a palm tree. David, with his merry songs which he sings with his harp in his book called The Psalter, in the psalm Noli emulari and Qua bonum, makes a dialogue between a false man and a true man conversing about the providence and righteousness of God. An unjust man, who does not observe or keep his law, has troubles without peace. He also has fleeting pleasure in temporal goods, as is read (Ecclesiastes 7:15, 16): A just man perishes in his justice, and the wicked man lives long in his wickedness. The wicked man has riches to help him when he is sick. A poor just man has none, and therefore lies in great pain.\nThey are never put to labor and affliction, as other true poor men are, when it is due for the common weal, nor pay tax, but at their pleasure. They live in their pleasure and solace, and are spared for their riches. And often the goods of the just are destroyed by casualties and mishaps of the sea, while their goods are spared and not destroyed. They oppress the just and despise God, though they have all that they desire.\nThis providence of God and patience made David ponder in his mind what this meant, and could not find an answer by any natural reason, why the unjust should be spared and the poor just man punished. Donec in temple of God, and understood in their end, he had the scripture of God revealed to him, and he remembered (quod judgments of God are true). And he likened these unjust men to herbs which soon grow and soon fade, and unto the smoke of a fire, the higher it flees, the sooner it is destroyed. And to a man in his sleep dreaming of much good, and when he wakes he is in poverty as he was before. And we are all asleep living in this world, till we shall be awakened (in novissima die tuba michelis). And when David had considered all this, he sang with his harp. I saw the impious exalted like the cedars of Lebanon, and lo, he was no more.\nI saw David, wicked and unjust men, exalted in honor and worship as great high trees of Libya. Not long after, I sought them and their progeny, and all their goods and proud servants around them. I could not find them above the earth, but they passed as a shadow. Of these friends, we have examples enough in our days without scripture, of great men who are passed with all their great dignity and riches, and little speech is now of them. The said David therefore, with his said harp, sang another ballad, saying: \"I was young and they were old; I saw a just man forsaken and abandoned. Nor did I seek his seed in need, that is to say, I was young and now am old; I saw no true man whom God forsook but gave him help in time of need for his profit, nor his children suffering the extreme poverty of their fathers at last. And what hunger or other tribulations they suffered, were for the well-being of their souls and everlasting joy at their departure.\"\nThe law of God and natural reason decrees that a father should make his son his heir and succeed him in his goods and livelihood. I have experienced this myself, as many fathers, out of love for their children, seek to secure lands for them after their decease and spend much money on lawyers for the same purpose. I have heard lawyers say it is difficult and they dare not promise them. But I, as your friend, undertake to make your children and you secure and everlasting joy, not to be forgotten but helped by the almighty God in this world, if you truly obtain your good without sin and falsehood. And of those goods thus obtained, give part in acts of charity, as is written (Ecclesiastes xliii. He who loves righteousness and hates iniquity, his seed will be dealt well with, his descendants will be mighty on earth).\nThese are the words of the holy ghost: These are the words of the holy ghost, and much to say. These men who are merciful in deeds of charity, their righteousness in living and getting of true good, shall never be forgotten. Their children and newcomers shall enjoy his goods and inheritance. In their testaments it stood thus for them: As he disposed in his testament, so shall his will be performed. Wherefore, if you want your children to enjoy your goods, primarily see that they are well gotten. For the righteousness of the father, gives great influence of grace to his succession, as an example, Abraham gave to his son Isaac, and Isaac to Jacob his son, and Jacob to his twelve sons, from whom comes the twelve tribes of Israel.\nAnd the kingdom of Israel was kept in the succession of David after his decease, not for their merits but for the goodness and truth of David. Therefore it is written: \"In the land of the righteous it will be exalted, and in its borders there will be praise. And the city which is filled with good and true men will be exalted, and all good men have a good will to dwell there. And when a wicked man dies there, it is a great rejoicing for them. And the blessing of God, which righteous men possess, concerns the city in prosperity.\n\nArchedian (in Rosary, hoc aute. xxx. dist. says): \"If we had been just, we should have honored God with honor, sanctified the saints, comforted the afflicted, loved the brethren, hated sin, and detested the devil.\"\n\nFirst, you must do honor and worship to Almighty God with body and soul as your Creator. And in token thereof, to yield unto Him tithes, oblations, and other sacrifices.\n\"Quis est iste et plenitudo eius. Viij dist. c. (Quo iure). And secondly, to follow the example of holy saints. A priest to follow St. Peter and the apostles, St. Martin and St. Nicholas, holy confessors. And lay men to follow Zacchaeus. Who said to Christ, \"Si quidem et ego defraudavi, reddam quadruplum.\" If I have done any man wrong or injured him, I will make amends with due satisfaction, or else I know well I cannot be called a just man, and have God in my house. The third, to have compassion for those who have departed from the world and pray for them. And whoever has any goods of theirs to dispose of and does not, and causes them to lie in pain, it is a great offense, friends, to injure a man who is alive, but much more to injure him who is dead. And all breakers of a man's last will, are cursed as you have heard often times. The fourth, you must love your neighbor as yourself, and not despise him, like as you would not be despised yourself, neither in word nor deed.\"\nAnd friends note what I shall say to you, John Chrysostom says (in Ecclesiastes 86:88, Dist) to all those who engage in choppy and contentious occupations, he bids them beware in their speaking and selling, using no others: perjury nor deceit, for such merchants Christ drove out of the temple, and the prophet says, \"I knew not merchandise that was wicked, but I came among the powers of the earth\" (Daniel 2:8). I knew not wicked buyers and sellers entering into the kingdom of heaven. He gives an example of a man who sows or fans corn; the good corn falls through and leaves only stones and other harlotry. Just so, a man who has gained with others, lies, and falsely represents his goods, let him restore all that he has gained in this way, and there remains to him only sin. The fifth is that we should hate sin. Sin is that thing which is contrary to all justice, and forbidden by the law of God, as is written (15:1:1).\nAnd as long as a man is in deadly sin, he is dreaded in the sight of God and called a servant of the devil. And Anselm says that when a man is in deadly sin, all creatures made by almighty God abhor him. And Seneca says, as you note (xv. q. i. c. merito), \"God ignores the ignorant, but the guilty are still worthy of contempt.\" He who does not cease to be in deadly sin but continues in it shall have this punishment: to forget God when he dies and to ask for mercy, as St. Gregory notes in a sermon de Innocentia. No man can live so perfectly here in the world but that he must fall into vanity sins. They are put away diversely: by confession of the heart, by holy water, by alms deed, by toning on the breast, by fasting, by contrition, by general confession, by the blessing of the bishop and priest at mass, and by the confession and contrition of sin, which all are noted (de peccatis).\nThe third is to continue battle ever with the devil. And he who ever wants the victory must arm himself with humility, which is the virtue he hates most in man on earth, a virtue he forsook in heaven, therefore he is called the king of all proud men. Job. 40:32, 42:3 (Nulli per Guido)\n\nI fear friends that he is a great king over many people and multitudes in this land nowadays, as appears by their array, and many go out in his clothing, exceeding their power, office, blood, and dignity. And rightly the devil presumed to be like the almighty God, exceeding his order and degree, and so cast out of heaven, and will be in everlasting pain. Rightly so, all proud men now being in this land, wearing their garments in form and manner of them, who put Christ to death and his saints, as you may see in pictures of the same.\nThe abomination of their clothing and its shape is far beyond reason, causing my wit to struggle to describe the uncouthness of it and the punishments recorded in holy scripture for such behavior. Therefore, Almighty God speaks these words as written in Sophonias 10: \"Visit the city, O God, with punishment; I will bring a plague upon it, and upon the inhabitants thereof, if they bear new shapes in their garments, which cause my people to stumble and vary their attire.\" Therefore, St. Jerome says concerning this text: \"Your blood cries out for vengeance to me.\" Whoever brings in a false custom into a city or any shape of garments that would lead the people into sin, as long as it is used, shall never enter heaven. Friends, I remember days in my youth when there was a virtuous monk of Bury named Lydgate, who wrote many noble histories and composed many virtuous ballads to promote virtue and suppress vice.\nAnd among other things, he made a treatise called Galand. And in it, he described the kin of Galand. If gallants understood the progeny, they would refuse to be part of it. The occasion for making this book was when English men were beaten out and had lost France. Gascony, Guyon, and Normandy, and they came home disguised in every part of their bodies, which English men had never seen before. And many followed the lewd and abominable garments, so much so that all good men cried out against them. And this good monk, in detestation of their sin and wretchedness, made the said treatise in a ballad style. And the repetition of every ballad was this: \"England may wait ever that Galand came here. And in a short time after, there were great surrenders and murders of lords and others, as I doubt not many who live can remember it.\"\nI pray God they amend those things that we are not punished for them and endure their wretchedness, for we suffer the subjects of the king of pride to dwell among us. Friends, I say the words of Christ to you which I took to my time. He who has ears to hear, let him hear. These words which you have heard from my simplicity and your material ears, may also be understood by your inward ears of your soul through true intellect, and so put into execution. For I say to you as St. Jerome says in a letter, and St. Austin in the same way ({quod} no su\u00eds nugas et frivolas que dixi vobis, Sed suis scriptura et verba Dei). And therefore St. Paul says, \"Lords, take heed at the law of God and perform it in you, lest He be mocked to scorn, but punish those who despise His commandment.\" Then, friends, I end thus, beseeching each one of you to remember and keep the five proclamations which I have shown to you.\nAnd you of the spiritual to recall your bill of remembrance to be holy in your conversation. And you masters of the temporal to remember your bill of Justice & truth to God and man. And if you have grace to do so, I answer and dare promise in the name of Christ Jesus, you shall have joy that the eye may not see nor heart conceive nor tongue speak, to which God bring all.\nAmen.\nPrinted at Westminster by Wynken de Worde.", "creation_year": 1497, "creation_year_earliest": 1497, "creation_year_latest": 1497, "source_dataset": "EEBO", "source_dataset_detailed": "EEBO_Phase1"},
{"content": "by the Reverend father in God, John Alcock, Bishop of Ely.\nI ask the parties, between the high and mighty prince, the son of the almighty God and the Virgin Mary in humanity, Christ Jesus of Nazareth, on the one hand, and A.B. on the other, that if any man or woman can show any lawful impediment or prior contract or corruption of body or soul of the said A.B., which would prevent him or her from being married this day to the said mighty prince, they would present it according to the law.\nGood sister, we are gathered here before almighty God and all his saints in heaven in his church here humbly to solemnize this noble contract between the said son of almighty God and you. This contract must be of your free will and whole heart, not compelled by any of your friends, nor for the sake of worldly worship or ease of your body, but only for the love and service you owe to the said mighty prince, to serve him and obey him.\nobey him and keep his commandments, and renounce and forsake all other men and worldly worship. Love him above all things, and perform his precepts and do all other things that pertain to a good wife. How much should you be bound to him who will consent to marry you, a great prince and almighty one, and you a wretch, his creature and of poor lineage? For the common practice is for kings to marry together, dukes and earls to marry together, and poor people to marry together, and seldom is the rich and the poor married together. Yet this mighty prince, lord of heaven and earth, for the love he bears to you, makes you his queen, his father in heaven to be your father, his mother to be yours. And so by this marriage, all your kindred shall be of kinship by affinity to the father of heaven, our lady, all the angels with all the holy genealogy of Christ, to whom no carnal marriage could exalt you. Therefore, if you continue his faithful and true spouse, coming to him in faithfulness.\nmy mind and all your works to observe his commandments. Your reward shall exceed all rewards that can be thought of and given to man. First, sister, if you will be espoused to this noble prince and are determined in your mind, I say these words to you in the name of the Holy Ghost. (Audi filia et vide et inclina aurem tuam et obliuriscere populum tuum et domum patris tui) That is to say, daughter, hear and give humble attendance if you will be espoused to this mighty prince, you must forget and relinquish the joy and felicity of this world, and the house of all your kindred, your father and mother and all your carnal friends, and you must follow him in conditions and leave your old name and conditions behind. His name is Jesus Nazarene. And so you must be called Nazarene. It is written, Nazarene's are interpreted as those who are pure among branches or flourishing, or those keeping guard.\nYou must be as a young green branch and as a flower and as a keeper of your husband's treasure, separated from the world as a consecrated and holy queen, for these properties among others belong to your spouse. First, you must be as a young green branch, which loses its fair beauty when it is severed from the root. The root of all religion is Jesus of Nazareth, who is charity (Quia Deus caritas est). Whoever is not in charity separates himself from almighty God. Therefore, you must love your spouse, Jesus, above all things; he must be in your mind, in your soul, in your heart, and in all your works. And specifically, you must speak, for if you have any pleasure for speaking of things of the world or of any other man, then he will be angry. For as Saint Gregory says (Providenus est nobis, quia intueri non debet quod non licet concupiscere. Et Ioannes): \"It is provided for us that we should not look upon what we should not desire.\"\nCryst says (Qui studet eligantes facies inspicere ipse fornacem passionis accendit): He wills that you keep only and entirely unto Him your five wits, to have no pleasure in looking upon man or woman, nor to hear of any worldly things, nor speak of any concupiscence, nor handle any contagious things, but only that which is to His pleasure and service. For as St. Jerome says, \"There was never a man so jealous of his wife and takes heed of his works and deeds as the Lord your Spouse will take heed of you. For you can think no thought but He knows it, nor speak any word but He hears it, nor be in any place but He is present, therefore you must love Him above all things and be in perfect charity with all your sisters and His people and servants. Also, Christ Jesus is called (Flos campi): The flower of Nazareth; the beauty of this exceeds all other virtues and is so noble a treasure that it cannot be praised.\nand therefore virginity is honored in all mighty God. And Christ, the head and leader thereof, and the first thing He did on earth when He became man, He set up His household of virgins and men of chastity to serve Him and His church here on earth, as He was served by virgins in heaven, His mother was and is perpetual virgin. John the Evangelist, His Secretary, a virgin. John the Baptist, a virgin. Jeremiah the prophet, a virgin. And angels in heaven, virgins and innumerable, singing and following the Lamb of God, the second person, and ever new songs of joy and glory. The angels of heaven honor virgins as their brothers and sisters. And as it is written (Apocalypse xix), The angel of God would not allow St. John Evangelist to worship him, for he was a virgin, as he was an angel and a man of the earth. And therefore St. Bernard says, What is more beautiful than chastity (Quid castitate decorius. Que mundum de inmundo concepit).\nsemine domestico facit angeli homini ad sanctum Anselmum: The angels worshiped Saint Anselm and clad him in a garment of chastity; crowned Saint Cecilia; showed Saint Agnes her holiness; buried Saint Catherine and delivered Susanne from death. And as it is written in Numbers 21:21-23: \"All the women who were virgins were to be reserved, while all others were to be put to death.\" That is, where all the people were to be destroyed and slain for sin, yet God Almighty commanded to spare virgins. Therefore, says Saint Anselm: \"There is no salvation unless you, O Virgin, have given birth.\" Saint Margaret had the devil under her feet and bound him; he cried out and said, \"Leave me, young maiden, do not destroy me.\" And in the same way, Saint Juylan rebuked him and put him to great shame. And for this reason, the devil honors virginity, as it is read in Tobit, in the sixth chapter. For just as the devil has power over all unclean living beings, so he honors virgins and reveres them because of the angels. And therefore, Saint John.\nCrystomus says (Castitas is the angelic thing by which men are singularly represented to angels in heaven)\nAnd that angels have chastity in heaven by their felicity.\nA man or a woman being in chastity\nhave by grace and great labor. Chastity\nby grace has diverse privileges. First, it replenishes paradise (tricesimaseconda question, prima in Nuptials)\nThe second, that chastity is a virtue that only pleases God with faith (in it has great cares and sorrow for bringing forth their children) / a virgin is in quietness and brings forth her children in great joy, as it is written (Matthew 22:12. They that were prepared went in with him to the marriage)\nAnd as it is written (Song of Solomon 2.2. My beloved is like a lily among thorns, my love among the daughters)\nChastity is likened to a lily\nthe leaves of the lily that conserve the beauty thereof is sobriety of food and drink / the contrary thereof is shown in Lot being filled with drink, he defiled his own daughters (Genesis 19.15)\nIheronimus, a virgin, should hate wine as poison. You must also be a guardian of all things delivered to you today in the name of your spouse and follow them. For if you do not keep all things in your custody, they will be destroyed, and David says, \"If the Lord keeps the city, I will be quiet and trust in him.\" Therefore, you must keep the treasure of your spouse, Christ, pertaining to his faith, and have in your remembrance and willingly keep the four things that will be delivered to you today: your veil and your mantle, both being of black and a ring with a light of wax in your hand. Keeping these, it will be shown that you love your husband. This veil and mantle are well remembered by the virgin saint Agnes, who said, \"He has covered my soul within.\"\nand my head with a veil, for if I will love any man better than him, I shall go to the color of my veil, and that is everlasting death. In the same way, she showed that her spouse Christ Ihu had clothed her with a garment set with precious stones, that is, with charity, faith, hope, and humility. And she showed to him and to all the people with a merry voice (Anulo suo subornauit me dominus noster Ihesu Cristus et tanquam sponsam decoravit me corona), That is to say, all the pleasures and temptations of the world depart from me, for our Lord Ihesu Christ with his ring has wedded me and has crowned me with a crown of everlasting joy, if I keep truly my love and service unto him. Also remember the light that you bring with you, that signifies Christ Ihesu, whose faith by his church taught you that you must keep it and let it not go out but burning in your soul and in your body.\nyour mind by the blessed Incarnation/ passion/ resurrection /\nand the most blessed life of our savior Jesus Christ, /\nand that you fall into no earthly sin, heresy, or errors /\nby any means, nor dispute the rules of your religion, /\nbut with all reverence and obedience, take them on, /\nobey them, and observe them. And whatever your abbess or the rulers of your religion command you to do, /\nbelieve it is for the health of your soul and in accordance with your religion, /\nand honor and love them as your father and mother, /\nyou must be patient among your sisters and suffer them, /\nyou must be meek, /\nyou must eat and drink such foods and drinks as you are commanded, /\nand when you have not slept enough, you must rise, /\nyou must sing in your course and order with your sisters, /\nand take no heed though your voice be not most sweetest and clear, /\nso long as you have a sweet devotion. /\nyou must serve your sisters and wash them.\nFeet for Cryst Ihesu to whom you shall be espoused were obedient to his father and suffered death, and washed also the feet of God and man, your disciples, the poor fishers. Also, you must be Nazarenes, that is, separated from the world, as Jesus Nazarene says of himself (Regnum meum non est in hoc mundo). But though your body be here in this world, corporally, your mind and soul to be with Cryst Ihesu, and so take the world in all things therein, and say with St. Paul, \"The world is to me a pain, and I to the world, my joy is only in Christ crucified. Therefore, sister, your pleasure and conversation must only be in the cross of Christ, that is, penance, in fasting, prayer, and mortification of your enemy, the flesh, and let it not have its will, keep you within your monastery, and depart not from it (16. q. 1. placuit. n.). For just as a fish dies that is without water, so a man or woman of religion being without it.\nwithout their cloister being in their souls. Remember the story of Denise Iacobs, the daughter, who would not keep her within, as she was commanded, but would go forth among young people and so was corrupted and roused. From this followed infinite manslaughter and murder. Moses being in the mountain of Sinai spoke with God, without he spoke but with man (Exodus 32:1-6). A woman of Sinai or a man being in their cloister in prayer spoke with God, without they spoke with the devil, and therefore a holy father said, right as a hen that hatches eggs leaves her eggs, none shall be a good religious man or woman who leaves the place of Sinai. And as it is read in Vitis Patrum, There was a monk long tempted by the devil and he resisted him sore. At last he brought the monk to the door where he should depart from the place of Sinai. He made there a cross and cried to the devil, thou hast not prevailed.\n\"pulled me farther and you can but it shall never lie in your power. Also remember you were anointed in your baptism and confirmed, and now to be made perfect, Nazarene, Christ's wife of Nazareth, you shall be sanctified and consecrated, and so your name to be put in the great calendar among the virgins and spouses of Christ in heaven (Ihesus nazarenus was anointed with oil of joy before his sufferings). And that given unto his manhood to anoint with virtue and grace in this present life / and with everlasting joy his lovers and servants / therefore St. John the Baptist says, \"We have received his grace in fullness.\" Nothing we have sufficient of ourselves but all comes from his grace / and therefore if you will be anointed with this noble oil of mercy and grace in this present life and come to be anointed in everlasting joy, you must do as was commanded in the gospel by the wise virgin who was espoused to Christ, having oil in her lamp.\"\nof a beast struck and seeks and does not cease until it finds it. So our savior Christ Jesus was wounded and lost blood and departed from his blessed life in this world, to every man to taste and follow it until he finds him. You shall not need to seek far until you find and savor it, as David says (Sicut cernimus ad fontes aquarum). Of this sweet ointment of Christ, for he says by his prophet David (Prope est Dominus invocantibus nobis), He is ready to every body when he is called upon. An example thereof. Mary Magdalene she brought with her ointment of devotion and sought him and therefore found him soon. So it is your delight to seek Christ Jesus, to whom you shall be wedded neither at Nazareth Bethlehem nor Jerusalem, but you shall find him here within your own church, the same God and man Christ Jesus. And for your very love and contemplation, go to an altar within your church, or to any image of our lady where Gabriel salutes her. Remember the mercy and the love it the Father of heaven.\nIn the midst of all mankind, God's angel went to a young maiden, and of her pure blood, God and man were joined together. Go to another place or altar in your church, which shows the Nativity of Christ, and how He lies in great power in the manger, between two beasts, and has no comfort but this young maiden, His mother, to be nursed by her breast. And so, go to other places within your church for your deacon's remembrance of His passion. Specifically, one, two, or three times a day that you seek Him in your mind devoutly at the Mount of Calvary. That is, that you shall kneel before the crucifix where His image is made, remembering how He, God and man, who had never offended but to take on human nature for the great love and redemption thereof, endured such painful and shameful death in the midst of the world, with His mother present, His hands and feet nailed to the tree, His heart pierced through, and yet in all this pain, His charity was so great that He prayed to His.\nFather of heaven, forgive all those who violently and wrongfully put you to death, and desired that all mankind be forgiven for their transgressions, for the offense of our first father Adam, and open the gates of heaven to all those who believe in him. And in a like manner, remember some devout place of your Resurrection and bless\u00e9d Ascension, and how you will come to bring an end to this present world and judge it. (Per ignem) And call you and all mankind to account for your carnal sins of the world, and anoint your soul by holy living, and so be, as Christ is saved and consecrate your soul to almighty God, saying to him with the holy maiden and martyr Saint Agnes and Saint Audrey (Nicholas in teris desidero preter te), \"I desire nothing in this present life but that Jesus be my keeper and defender, and that he be primarily in my mind and thought, and then doubt ye nothing, sisters.\"\nThe angels in heaven were fond of you, fair young maidens and gentlewomen, because you bear the name of Nazareth, your maker and Lord will grant infinite joy and defend and keep your person, and will not depart from you until you sing this most blessed song:\n\n(Ueni sponsa xp\u0304i accipe corona\u0304 qua\u0304 tibi paratam est in eternu\u0304)\nCome, Nazarene maiden,\nCrist's spouse, receive for your reward\nthe special crown of glory called Auriola,\nwhich I will not give nor reward with anything but\nmy special lovers, martyrs, virgins, and preachers,\nand may you do this here so that you may receive this noble crown.\n\nI beseech Almighty God for his great mercy, Amen.\n\n[This is an exhortation made to religious sisters during their consecration by the Reverend Father in God, John Alcock, Bishop of Ely.

And so you must be called Nazarene. It is written, (Nazarei candidores nuper interpretantur virgulti vel floridi, siue custodientes aut separati a mundo veluncti siue sancti aut consecrati) That is to say, you must be as a young green branch and as a flower and as a keeper of your husband's treasure and separated from the world as anointed holy and consecrated queen, for these properties among others have your spouse.\nFirst, you must be like a young green branch that loses its fair beauty when it is severed from the root. The root of all Religion is Jesus of Nazareth, who is charity (Quia Deus caritas est). And whoever is not in charity separates himself from almighty God. So, you must love your spouse, Jesus, above all things; he must be in your mind, in your soul, in your heart, and in all your works. And specifically, you must speak of him, for if you have any pleasure for speaking of anything in the world or of any other man, then he will be angry. For as St. Gregory says (Provide for us, Lord, that we may not look upon that which is forbidden. And John), Christ says (Who stands before those who are being sought, make them look).\nHe who kindles the furnace of passion for you is the one who wants you to keep and devotedly focus only and entirely on him, having no pleasure in looking upon man or woman, nor hearing of worldly things, nor speaking of concupiscence, nor handling contagious things, but only that which is pleasing to him and in his service. For as St. Jerome says, \"There was never a man so jealous of his wife and takes care of his works and desires as your Lord, your spouse, will take care of you. You can think no thought that he does not know, nor speak any word that he does not hear, nor be in any place that he is not present, nor anything conceal itself from him. Therefore, you must love him above all things and be in perfect charity with all your sisters and his people and servants. Also, Christ Jesus is called (Flos campi), the flower of Nazareth, whose beauty exceeds all other virtues, and it is such a noble treasure that it cannot be praised, and therefore virginity is honored in almighty God.\nAnd Christ the head and leader, and the first thing he did on earth when he became man, he set up his household of virgins and men of chastity to serve him and his church here on earth, as he was served by virgins, the angels, in heaven. His mother was and is perpetually a virgin. John the Evangelist, his secretary, a virgin. John the Baptist, a virgin. Jeremiah the prophet, a virgin. And angels in heaven, virgins, and innumerable, singing and following the lamb of God, the second person, and never new songs of joy and glory. The angels in heaven honor virgins as their brothers and sisters. And as it is written (Apocalypse 19), the angel of God would not allow St. John the Evangelist to worship him because he was a virgin, as he was an angel and a man of the earth. Therefore, St. Bernard says, \"What is more beautiful than chastity?\" (Quid castitatis decorius)\nQue mundum de immundo conceptum est de hoste domesticus homini angelum faciens. The angels worshipped Saint Agnes and clad her in a garment of chastity. They crowned Saint Cecily. Saint Agnes showed her holiness. Saint Catherine buried and delivered Susanne from death. And as it is written in Numbers 21: (Omnes feminas virgines reservare alias interfici) That is, where all the people were commanded to be destroyed and slain for sin, yet God Almighty commanded to spare virgins. And therefore Saint Anselm says, (Non est salus nisi quae tu virgo peperisti). Saint Margaret had the devil under her feet and bound him, and he cried out and said, \"Leave ye, young maid, destroy me.\" And in like manner, Saint Juliana beat him and put him to great rebuke. And therefore the devil worshipped virginity, as it is read in Tobit, the sixteenth chapter. For right as the devil has power over all unclean livings, right so he honors virgins and fears them because of the angels.\nAnd therefore St. John Chrysostom says, \"Chastity is a thing angelic, which only men represent to angels in heaven by singularity.\" A man or a woman, being in virginity, have it by grace and great labor. Virginity by grace has diverse privileges. First, it replenishes paradise (in the thirty-second question, Prima nuptiae). Second, virginity is a virtue that man alone can please God with faith (in the lion, homily III, Scimus colla III). It is the beginning of other virtues (in quomodo opus est epistulae, neque autem sacras, IV). Only among women, a virgin is to be consecrated for twenty-five days (Siculus, V). Virgins are martyrs and have (Aureolus, thirty-second question, Quinta). For just as matrimony replenishes the earth with children, so a virgin replenishes paradise. (Thirty-second question, I)\nMothers of children of the world have great cares and sorrow to bring forth their children. A virgin is in quietness and brings forth her children in great joy, as it is written (Matthew 22:25 They that were given in marriage were brought in with him). And as it is written (Song of Solomon 2:1 The Shulamite: Like a lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters), virginity is likened to a lily. The preservation of its beauty is sobriety in food and drink. The contrary is shown in Lot being filled, he defiled his own daughters (Genesis 19:32 And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day). Jerome (A virgin should drink wine as an antidote for poison), as it is said, a virgin should hate wine as poison.\n\nYou must be a custos, a keeper of all such things that shall be delivered to you today in the name of your spouse, and follow him in them. For if you keep not all things in their being as he has made them, they shall forthwith be destroyed, and David says (Psalms 122:1 If the LORD will not build the house, they labour in vain that build it).\nSo you must keep the treasure of your spouse Christ's property for his faith, and have in your remembrance, and will keep the four things that will be delivered to you today: your veil and your mantle, both being of black, and a ring with a light of wax in your hand. In keeping of these, it shall be shown that you love your husband. This veil and mantle are well remembered; the virgin saint Agnes said, \"He has covered my soul within and my head with a veil. If I will love any man better than him, I shall go to the color of my veil, and that is everlasting death.\"\nShe showed that her spouse, Christ Jesus, had clothed her with a garment set with precious stones - charity, faith, hope, humility, obedience, abstinence, and prayer - and had enclosed these fair virtues in the black garment of her body and soul, which every virtuous person should use and increase daily by grace and free will if they will seek it. Therefore, Saint Agnes sang and said to all virgins, \"Induct me, Lord, in your circle of gold and purple.\" Also, I have been given this ring by Christ Jesus to deliver to you today as a token of an indissoluble marriage between you and Him. For, as Saint Paul says, \"You must remember nothing but what is godly.\" Therefore, Saint Agnes cried out against the devil and his unchaste desires with a loud voice, saying, \"Learn from me the food of death.\"\n\"although prevented from another lover) she showed him and all the people with a merry voice: Our lord Jesus Christ, through Anulus, summoned me and adorned me as a bride; that is, all the pleasures and temptations of the world depart from me, for our lord Jesus Christ, with his ring, has wedded me and crowned me with a crown of everlasting joy, if I keep truly my love and spousal duty to him. Also remember the light you bring with you, which signifies Christ Jesus.\"\nThat is the light which comes into the world to enlighten every man, you must keep and see your light not extinguished but burning in your soul and mind by the blessed Incarnation/passion/resurrection and the most blessed life of our savior Christ Jesus, and that you fall into no earthly sin, heresy, nor errors through any human teaching or disputes, but with all reverence and obedience, take them, obey them, and observe them.\nAnd whatever your abbess or the rulers of your religion command you to do, believe it is for the health of your soul and in accordance with your religion, honor, and love them as your father and mother. You must be patient among your sisters and suffer them. You must be meek. You must eat and drink such foods and drinks as you are commanded. And when you have not slept enough, you must rise. You must sing in your course and order with your sisters. And take no heed, though your voice is not most sweetest and clear, so you have a sweet devotion. You must serve your sisters and wash their feet. For Christ Jesus, to whom you shall be espoused, was obedient to his father and suffered death. And he, God and man, washed also the feet of his disciples, poor fishers.\nYou must be Nazarene - that is, separated from the world, as Jesus of Nazareth says of himself (Regnu meu non est in hoc modo). Though your body is here in this world corporally, your mind and soul should be with Christ Jesus, and so take the world in all things and say with St. Paul: The world is a pain to me, and I to the world; my joy is only in Christ crucified. Therefore, your pleasure and conversation must only be in the cross of Christ - that is, penance, fasting, prayer, and mortification of the flesh, and let it not have its way; keep you within your monastery and do not depart from it (16.q.1. placuit. n.). For just as a fish dies without water, so a man or woman of religion being without their cloister is dead in their souls.\nRemember the story of Denise Iacobs' daughter, who would not keep herself within, as she was commanded, but would go among young people and was therefore corrupt and raucous. From this followed infinite manslaughter and murder. Moses, being in the mountain of Raguel, spoke with God; without he spoke but with man (Exodus 32.1-4). A woman of Raguel or a man being in their cloister in prayer spoke with God, not with the devil; and therefore, a holy father said, just as a hen that hatches eggs leaves her eggs, shall none be good Religious man or woman who leaves the place of Raguel.\nAnd in Vitis patru\u0304, there was a monk long tempted by the devil. He resisted him severely. At last, the devil brought the monk to the door where he was to depart from the place of Relygion. He made a cross there and cried to the devil: \"Thou hast brought me hither; pull me further now, but it shall never be in thy power.\"\nAlso remember, in your baptism and confirmation, you shall be sanctified and consecrated. Your name shall be put among the virgins and spouses of Christ in heaven (Jesus of Nazareth was anointed with oil before his partners). And this anointing is given to his manhood to anoint with virtue and grace in this present life, and with everlasting joy his lovers and servants. Therefore, Saint John the Baptist says, \"We receive grace in its fullness.\" Nothing we have is sufficient from ourselves, but all comes from his grace. If you will be anointed with this noble oil of mercy and grace in this present life and come to be anointed in everlasting joy.\nYou must do as commanded in the gospel by the wise maids, saying, \"Go and seek out the one called 'Ite et emite oleum.' For just as a house, having found blood or some perfume, seeks it out and does not rest until it finds it, so our savior Christ Jesus was wounded and lost blood and perfume of his blessed life in this world. To every man, he is there to be tasted and followed until he finds him. You shall not need to seek far to find perfume and savor, as David says, \"Sicut cervus ad fontes aquarum.\" Of this sweet ointment of Christ, he says through his prophet David, \"Prope est Dominus obissanibus invocantibus eum.\" He is ready to every body when called upon.\n\nExample: Mary Magdalene\nShe brought with her an ointment of devotion and sought him, and therefore she found him soon.\nSeek Christ Jesus not in Nazareth, Bedleem, or Jerusalem, but find him within your own church. The same god and man, Christ Jesus, is there. For your love and contemplation, go to an altar within your church or to an image of our lady where Gabriel saluted her. Remember the mercy and love the Father of heaven bore for all mankind, sending his angel to a young maiden. And of her pure blood of virginity, god and man were joined together. Then go to another altar or place that shows the Nativity of Christ and how he lies in great poverty in a manger, with no comfort but the young maid's breast to feed on. And so, visit other places within your church for your devotion and remembrance of his passion. Specifically, seek him devoutly in your mind at the mouth of Calvary one, two, or three times a day.\nThat is to kneel before the crucifix where his image is made, remembering how he, God and man, who had never offended, took on human nature for great love and redemption, and endured such painful and shameful death in the midst of the world. His mother being present, his hands and feet nailed to the tree. His heart struck through, and yet in all this pain, his charity was so great that he prayed to his Father in heaven to forgive all those who so violently and wrongfully put him to death, and desired of his Father that all mankind should be forgiven for their transgressions, for the offense of our first father Adam, and the gates of heaven to be opened to all those who would believe in him. And in like manner, to remember some devout place of his Resurrection and blessed Ascension, and how he shall come to bring an end to this present world, and judge it. (Per ignem) And call you and all mankind to account for your faith.\nAnd if you have kept your spousage and the promises made to him. And if you, sister, well and justly and truly observe your name that you shall be called by after your husband's - that is to say, Nazarene - fair brides full of fruits of virtue in your Religion and flowers of virginity and keeper of your spouse's commands, despising pleasures and pomp of the world, leaving it unto the foolish maidens of the world, and anointing your soul by holy living, and so be (Sancta) as Christ is (Sanctus), and consecrate your soul to almighty God, saying to him with the holy maid and martyr St. Agnes and St. Audrey (Nichil in terris desidero praeter te), \"I desire nothing in this present life but Jesus to be my keeper and defender, and to have him primarily in my mind and thought, and then doubt ye nothing, sisters, but it shall be said to you and to each one of you.\"\nThe angels being these fair young maidens and gentlewomen, call upon the name of Nazareth, your maker and Lord, who will bring infinite joy and defend and keep your person, and will not depart from you until you sing this most blessed song: (Ueni sponsa xp\u0304i accipe corona\u0304 qua\u0304 tibi parauit ineternu\u0304) That is, come, Nezarene maid, Cryst's spouse, to present and receive for your reward the special crown of glory called (Auriola), which I will not give nor reward with anything but my special lovers, martyrs, virgins, and preachers, and so that you may receive this noble crown, I beseech almighty God for his great mercy, Amen.\n\nHere ends an exhortation made to religious sisters during their consecration by the Reverend Father in God, John Alcock, Bishop of Ely.

{"content": "Here begins a little treatise called Ars moriendi. When anyone of good fortune is about to die, it is most necessary to have a special friend who will heartily help and pray for him, and comfort the sick for the wellbeing of his soul, and moreover ensure that all others do the same or quickly make him depart.\n\nRemember the great benefits God has done for him at that time, and particularly the Passion of our Lord. Read some story of saints or the seven psalms with the litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary in part or whole, with other. And always have the image of the crucifix in his sight with other. And holy water is often cast upon and about him for warding off evil spirits who are ready to take possession of his soul if they may.\n\nAnd then, and always, make him cry out for mercy and grace, and for the help of our blessed Lady and of other saints in whom he had a singular devotion before.\ntrust and love/and thereupon to make his prayers if he may. When death comes or any grievous pains or great sicknesses, then prayer or devotion eases it; therefore, it is wise for one to pray before any sickness comes, and also when one may, in his sickness, if he will not be deceived. So he is happy and may be glad that such a time of greatest need has a faithful friend who will say beside the prayers aforementioned and cause others to say devoutly in remembrance of the charity of Jesus Christ and of his passion; and for this, three Pater Nosters and three Aves with a Creed; and therewith to exhort him by a priest or for need by another in the manner that follows.\n\nBrother or sister remember well that God says by his prophet and evangelist. Blessed be he who dies and departs from us/it is to say from the world and his pleasures/and die in the true faith of the church and repentance for his sins.\n\nSir, you have great cause to be glad to depart from\nthis wretched world & fall of all misery / and think\nthat you must depart / and desire heartily to be\nwith Jesus Christ your maker, redeemer, and lord God,\nfor he shall give to you now your inheritance\nthat he did buy for you with his precious passion\nand blood. Wherefore this time of your departing\nshall be better to you than the time of your birth,\nfor now all sickness, sorrow, and trouble shall depart\nfrom you forever. Therefore be not aggrieved\nwith your sickness and take it not with grumbling,\nbut take it rather by all gladness. See at all times\nthat you be steady in your faith and believe,\nand say your Creed if that you may, or else desire another\nheartily to do it for you here before us openly.\nAnd arm you ever with the sign of the cross \u271a\nas a Christian man for your defense against your ghostly enemies,\nin whom doing, God will be greatly pleased\nand the rather take you for one of his flock\nby protection and grace, and as his child of salvation.\nHave ever a good and true belief, and no.\nThing may be impossible for you. Be careful not to fall into despair for that which greatly displeases God and cannot be remedied. Remember, sins committed before time will not harm you in damnation if they do not displease you now and if you are sorry for them. St. Jerome says, if one takes his sickness or his death with grumbling, it is a sign that he does not love God sufficiently. All is righteous that we suffer. Desire with St. Austin to be cut with tribulation and to be burned with sickness and sorrow, so that you may be saved afterward for eternity. Now make yourself sorry that you have been so unkind to please and to keep his commandments, and do not presume any goodness from yourself. Say with all meekness: Good Lord Jesus Christ, I know that I have sinned greatly, and by your grace I will gladly amend myself if I should live. Have mercy on me now for your bitter passion. Then ask him these questions following his death.\nBe ye glad that you shall die in Christian belief. Let him answer / you / know that you have not lived as well as you should / you / have the will to amend if that you should live / you / believe that Jesus Christ, God's son of heaven, was born of the blessed virgin Mary / you / believe also that Jesus Christ died upon the cross to buy man's soul on good Friday / you / do you thank God therefore / you / Believe that you may not be saved but by his passion and death / you / As long as the soul is in your body, thank God for his death / and have a sure trust by it & his passion to be saved. And counsel him to say if he may these following words of great virtue.\n\nI put Christ's passion between me and my evil works / and between me and his wrath. Now Lord God be merciful to me, a sinner. The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the virtue of his passion with the sign of the holy cross \u271a and the undefiled virginity of the blessed Mary, his mother / and the blessing of all saints / & the protection.\non of all holy angels, with the help and prayer of all saints, be between me and all my enemies now and in the hour of my death and departing. Amen.\nAlso these verses following are of great virtue in the time of death, and to be said of the sick if he may, or by another for him. Disrupisti, Domine, vincula mea tibi; sacrificabo hostia laudis. Et nomen tuum inuocabo. Deus propicius esto mihi peccatori. Domine, tu lux, ego cognosco me gravere peccasse. Et libenter volo me emendare per grammatam tuam. Miserere mei, propter amara passione tua. Domine, tu redimisti nos in sanguine tuo. Laus sit tibi, propter amara passione tua. Largire clarus vesper. Quo vita nos quam decidat, sed premium mortis sacrae perennis instet gloria.\nAlso to our Lady, Maria plena gratia, mater misericordiae. Tu nos ab hoste protege. Et in hora mortis suscipe. And at last, In manus tuas, Domine, commendo spiritum meum. In noctes patris et filii et spiritus sancti. Amen.\nWelcome, blessed Ihu, my Lord God, and save me to whom is appropriate all mercy and pity. Remember.\nGood lord, how freely my nature and substance are, and have mercy and pity on me, great sinner, after your great mercies and for your bitter passion. I know and believe faithfully, as a Christian child of yours, that you, in the form of bread, are the same my lord God, who, out of your goodness, came down from heaven and were born and took my nature from the blessed Virgin Mary, and died for me and rose on the third day and, after ascending into heaven, reign with the Father and the Holy Ghost and all saints forever Immortal. This blessed body of yours, which for our great health, relief, and daily transgressions, and in remembrance of your great love and passion, has been ordained to be taken by me and all willing to be saved.\n\nI know well that I am far from worthy to be called your child or servant for the great multitude of my sins. Yet, by your great power, you make great saints of sinners.\nGrant me now to take the meekly in all fear, and in willingness for my sins, with spiritual gladness. Come now good Lord into my heart and cleanse it of all sin; enter into my soul and make it whole; and with this, sanctify me within and without; and be my defense for body and soul, rebuking and putting a side all my enemies far from the presence of your power; that I, thus defended by you, may have a free and sure passage to your kingdom, where I shall not see you in this form by mystery, but I shall see your face to face, where I shall never hunger nor thirst, but ever be in joy with you and yours; there to glorify you and to worship you, to laud and to pray to you, world without end. Amen.\n\nIn taking holy water, holy bread, also by saying the Pater Noster and this petition. Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And also by knocking of the breast for one's sins and also.\nFor saying \"Deus propicius esto michi,\" and by saying the common Confiteor at Mass or at other times. Also by receiving one of the Church's sacraments, and especially the body of our Lord. Also by hearing Mass and by the sight of the sacrament of the water there or elsewhere. By the blessing of a bishop or of a priest at his Mass. By any of the works of mercy, by pardons, by martyrdom and penance, by forgiveness to a trespassor, by giving a good example or for converting others to good life, by patience and thanking in trouble, and by contrition of sins with displeasure of them. And for every good deed done with good intent and devotion, Amen.\n\nOver most merciful Father Lord God, knowing our frailty and readiness to all sin, is ever ready during this wretched and mortal life to forgive us eternally if truly we order these three virtues to Him.\nBlessed lord, I acknowledge that I have sinned greatly against your goodness, thus and thus rehearsing my sins, and I am sorry for them, by reason whereof I do penance and will do penance, for I know well that I have grieved the merciful lord and broken his commandments, in which I alone ought to be worshipped. The second is, \"Good lord, I have a good purpose and desire with your help to be righteous hereafter, that I may not fall into sin, and I intend to flee the occasions, as far as the possibility of my power allows.\" The third is, \"Gracious lord, I have good will to make a holy confession of all my sins, when a convenient place and time may be had according to your commandment, and all holy church. These three things, whoever says them unfaintingly in any place it ever be, he may be sure that he is in the state of grace and salvation, and that he shall have everlasting life.\"\nLasting life though he had done all the sins of the world. And if he died without any confession for lack of a priest, as sleeping or sudden death, he should be saved, suffering before harsh pain in purgatory. Therefore, it is good counsel for every Christian man once or twice a day, early or late, or at least on holy days, to examine his conscience and remember if he can, with all his heart unfaintingly, these three truths: and if he can do so, he may be sure that he is in the state of grace; and if he cannot but is in the will to sin again and have his delight with the deed, and will not flee the occasions of mortal sins, and so drowned in sin will not arise, such a one may be certain that the Pope cannot absolve him. Not for your good it is that such a one uses much prayer and gives alms and does other good deeds after their power, that God the rather may lighten their hearts and the sooner turn to goodness. Amen.\n\nO Mighty and most pitiful Lord God, Ihesu.\nIn your great goodness, you have ordered all things in heaven and earth for the use and well-being of man, intending that they serve him, and he alone. And yet, it pleases you more to receive service and prayer in a place or church that is dedicated, consecrated, and hallowed by a bishop and his ministers with hymns, psalms, and litanies, and other suffrages, and their mystery observances. And because your precious body and blood are daily offered up to your Father in heaven in knowledge of your great love and passion for man. And if it pleased you in the old testament with your angels night and day to be assistant and to hear the prayers of your servants in the temple, where was but flesh and blood of unreasonable beasts offered in sacrifice, much more do we trust that you will appear and be assistant to us night and day.\ndaye with thyn angels in this thy newe temple and\nchirche / where thyn owne body & very blood dayly\nis offred vp vnto thy fader of heuen / & therwith re\u2223ceyued\naccordynge to thy desyre & wyll of vs thy ser\u00a6uau\u0304tes\nthough synners for our saluacyon & therto\nhere the prayers of vs & other that entende to loue\nworshyp & thanke the in the best maner we can or\nmay. \u00b6Now thenne blessyd lorde full of all mercy\n& pyte / that wyll that we calle vpon the & hath pro\u00a6mysed\nto here the prayers of thy seruau\u0304tes grau\u0304te\nnow & at all tymes to vs and to all other of thy su\u2223perhabundant\nmercy & grace / that who so euer co\u2223me\nvnto this chirche or to ony other with deuoco\u0304n\n& praye in what caas that euer they be / prosperyte\ntemptacyon / trouble / or aduersyte / that theyr pety\u2223cyon\nbehouefull & necessary prayer may be herde / &\nthat the pardone grau\u0304ted to them may in her sou\u2223les\n& bodyes with all other thynges apperteynynge\nvnto them may take effect in euery parte gracyous\u00a6ly.\n\u00b6And ouer this grau\u0304te vs of thy pyte / pease &\naccord and agreement in your church and realm, and to our fathers and mothers, friends, benefactors, and all Christian souls, grant forgiveness of their sins with reckless abandon of their pains and perpetual joy. And finally, we desire of your bountiful goodness seasonable weather with fruits, and exclude from us pestilence, hunger, more disease, and all enemies, ghostly and bodily, and therewith grant us of your grace good life and endless bliss. Amen.\n\nLook downward and show meekness, both in your heart and body.\n\nBeware of haughty speech and clamor, and let your words be few, well set, and reasonable.\n\nBe not quick to laugh, but use ever sadness.\n\nBe still and keep silence, to require an answer must be had.\n\nKeep well the common rule as the holy place has used.\n\nThink the most vile of all others and so pronounce yourself.\n\nKnow the unworthy and not profitable to anything, and so believe in deed.\n\nMake frequent confession of your sins, and that with great contrition.\nKeep patience in thy obedience at all thy pains and troubles.\nTo all people be thou subject for thy master's sake\nForgo thine own will and love it not in any way\nAnd ever keep thee from sin for fear of him above.\nThe first is to do that which is commanded by thy sovereign without grumbling.\nThe second is to make no exception, neither of the time nor of the deed.\nThe third is to be glad and cheerful in thy heart to do such deeds without any compulsion, setting aside all bestial conditions.\nThe fourth is to be quick in doing such deeds, leaving all other occupations for that time or any manner of excuse.\nThe fifth is to do them with all thy might and power, thinking that thy reward shall be great.\nThe sixth is to do them also with all meekness, both in spirit and gesture.\nThe seventh is to continue such obedience to them of thy life, ever following thy master Ihu Crist, who was made obedient for thy sin unto death.\nThe forty-second degree of patience you should endure here.\nDo not resist evil done to yourself or your adversary.\nDo not repay evil for evil or give an evil answer.\nLove your enemy and do good for evil to him in return.\nBear not grudges against adversity but take it as sweet incense.\nConsider it as the best medicine and be glad in your pain.\nTherefore, thank God and look for more with all benevolence.\nAnd when you have no grudging in these things, then you may be pleasing.\nThese make perfect charity after Paul's epistle.\nBe patient continually toward any adversity.\nBe liberal to the needy and do good for evil.\nEnvy not the welfare of others nor be sad.\nLet not your crookedness hinder good works from multiplying.\nSwell not inwardly by malice if your neighbor prospers.\nLove to be in a lowly position and hate to be high.\nTo labor for others as you do for yourself is your duty.\nBe not moved for any cause to take vengeance or to anger.\nThink no evil to another for any provocation.\nI rejoice not in wickedness but sorrow rather.\nBe glad in truth and righteousness and hate hypocrisy.\nFor such righteousness adversity or any tribulation\nBrings full credulity to the church.\nTrust that God has promised it without deceit.\nIn hope abiding his reward and everlasting glory.

Ask it this question: \"Who or what?\" The word that answers this question will be the nominative case for the verb.
