made the chyldren of the deuyll by thy wyckednes what more This vysyon vanysshed awaye It was also vnfayned for the woman afterwarde felte in her handes and fete the sorowe of crystes passyon and in

blessyd vyrgyn Marye as she was wonte to doo and to be one of her fraternyte whyche she had not before in dede but onely in purpose and entent as it is afore sayd where it is to be noted how moche this sayd fraternyte is worth to them whiche haue it in dede syth it was soo grete valure to this woman hauynge it but in purpose whyles that she prayed deuoutely vnto this vyrgyn Marye the same

bathed in those flodes O how grete swetenes was there and how grete worldly gladnes All creatures blessyd this woman Katheryne and prayed for her to almyghty god maker of all thynges And these two meruaylles were shewed for the fyrst fyfty and the seconde And where as this penytent Katheryne began the thyrde fyfty of her psalter Saynt Domynyk sawe a meruaylous grete gyaunt clerer than the lyght of whome yssewed out fyue fountaynes of the fyue fountaynes sprange fyfty flodes whiche neyther descended to therth nor to hell but meruayllously ascended togyder vnto heuen And by them all heuenly paradyse was watred Theyr swetenes was so grete that the aungelles and holy sayntes dyde drynke of theym gyuynge grete thankes to almyghty god whan saynt Domynyck sawe all these meruaylles as Thomas of the temple wryteth he meruaylled gretly why they sholde be shewed and done in the hous of so grete a synner To whome marye the vyrgyn appered and sayd O my frende Domynyk why doost thou meruayle in suche causes Knowest thou not I am a frende to all synners and that the mekenes of god is in me It was my wyll to shewe these vysyons to the of this my doughter that thou sholde preche them to the worlde for this entent that no crysten persone be theyr synnes neuer so grete sholde dyspayre in ony condycyon but alwaye trust in god and his mercy and namely they that wyll flee vnder my proteccyon with this woman Katheryne the holy vyrgyn and martyr saynt Katheryne socoured her very moche whiche alwaye she loued and serued with some prayer from her yonge aege for the congruence of the name More ouer the blessyd moder of god sayd O Domynyk thou haste sene these meruaylles Here now and preche that I soo holy and meke shall saye Shewe that I haue purchased of my sone to all suche as sayth my psalter and are of my fraternyte they shall haue the same excellence whiche the sayd Katheryne hath though they can not se it in this worlde lyke wyse as men can not se god his aungelles the deuylles neyther theyr merytes and vertues in this lyfe Also they can not se the vertue of a precyous stone nor of the sterres therfore the knowlege of heuenly thynges must be moche ferther from them Notwith stōdynge they shall beholde this excellence after theyr deth Therfore Domynyk be of good comforte preche my psalter and my fraternyte for vnto all suche as hath them I haue purchased not onely to se this excellence but also to haue it eternally in possessyon what sholde I saye more Saynt Domynyck gaue thankes to almyghty god for his grete mercy And this Katheryne made herselfe a recluse she dystrybuted her goodes to the poore people whiche afterwarde was of so grete holynes that many very holy persones came vnto her bycause of her godly reuelacyons To whome appered our lorde Ihesu C.
