עמוד 12 - I understand of all this testimony alleged : but yet I beseech you to tell me the meaning thereof more fully.

Wherefore necessary it is that God's elect servants...
עמוד 83 - For his sister called Scholastica, dedicated from her infancy to our Lord, used once a year to come and visit her brother. To whom the man of God went not far from the gate, to a place that did belong to the Abbey, there to give her entertainment. And she coming thither on a time according to her custom, her venerable brother with his monks went to meet her, where they spent the whole day in the praises of God and spiritual talk: and when it was almost night they supped together, and as they were...
