first place Patience inflamed with burning Charity possessed the next Now long prayer and other vertuous acts besought Perseuerance and that his vnworthines might in no case infringe his future good purposes Now he began to meditate on the exceeding dignityes and prerogatiues of Priesthood of the great charge he was to vndertake and of the exact account he was to render yea he shaked and trembled at the wordes of the Prophet Malachy Labia Sacerdotis custodient scientiam legem requirent ex ore eius quia Angelus Domini Exercituum est The lippes of the Priest shall keep knowledge and men shal require the law of God from his mouth because he is the Angell of the Lord of Hostes. The apprehension of which thing was so vehement that it put him into a continuall shaking of his flesh as it were a palsy which continued with him euen to his dying day And many there did note the cause but more heere in England did see the effect and I my selfe at first sight did wonder at the same It were to long to recite all euery one of his particuler preparations to holy Priesthood especially he hauing learned S. Augustines lesson In via virtutis non progredi regredi est not to go forward in the way of vertue is to go backward And therfore he spent no day without some act of vertue either of charity or humility at night he vsed to exclayme agaynst himselfe say with that renowned king O diem perdidi Alas I haue lost the day Good God how he imbraced euery occasion offered for the exercise of any vertuous action was it neuer so base and meane which being perceyued by the Persident for his greater exercise of humility patience and charity he made him Prefect of the Infirmary This office he very thankefully vndertooke and hauing now matter to worke vpon he so laboured about the sicke Students euen in the basest offices that he was called the very patterne of piety and humility his commiseration was so great as he might well haue sayd with holy Iob Miseratio ab infantia mea creuit mecum mercy and pitty hath growne and increased with me euen from my infancy Time being now come that he should be made Priest with all humility tamquam inutilis seruus as an vnprofitable seruant yet cherefully he imbraced it quia iugum Christi suaue est onus eius leue because Christs yoke is sweete and his burthen light His exceeding deuotion and carefull recollection in celebrating Masse imprinted in the harts of all his Collegian fellowes an euerlasting memory of him and they generally would report his extraordinary pious and comely behauiour at the Altar to the great comfort and edification of all for although he was by nature very affable and merry desirous of good and vertuous company yet before and after Masse he was seldome or neuer seene for the space of one whole houre to laugh play or spend any time in talke except some vrgent occasion compelled him to speake but in continual prayer and meditation in which he so behaued himselfe as if with the Psalmist he had made a perpetuall league and sayd Meditabar in mandatis tuis quae dilexi nimis I did meditate on thy commandements which I haue exceedingly loued By this his piety was much noted and was very exemplar throughout the whole Colledge Mittitur ad patrios socio comitante Penates Ad Thamesim cautÃ¹s separat ambo timor M. b. f. OF HIS MISSION AND departure towards England his shipping and ariuall there CHAP. V. LONG HAD NOT our vertuous Priest byn invested with holy Orders but that Apostolicall faculties were giuen him so with some others he was sent for England departing from the Colledge tamquam ouis ad occisionem sicut agnus ad victimam like a sheep to the slaughter and like a lambe to be sacrificed And thus wholy mortified he tooke his leaue of all the Superiours Schollers who weeping euen as those good Christians did for the departure of S. Paul and procumbentes super collum eius obsculabantur eum falling vpon his necke they kissed him with teares deducebant eum ad portam and many of them brought him forth of the gates of the Citty with diuers others his Companions in that iourney as F.

Geninges with one other kept togeather who trauayling by the way determined at last to separate themselues also for feare of suspition and so seuerally to commit themselues to the protection of God and their good Angells And whiles they thus resolued they came to two fayre beaten wayes the one tending Northeast the other Southeast euen then and there it being in the night they

Sauiour Iesus Christ she purposed not to leaue it vnhandled for her last farewell This her determination and purpose she presently performed and taking the thumbe in her hand by the instinct of Almighty God she gaue it a little pull only to shew her loue and desire of hauing it The sequele was miraculous for behold she not imagining any such matter would haue followed by the diuine power the thumbe was instantly loosed from his hand and being separated she carryed it away safely both flesh skinne and bone without sight of any to her great ioy and admiration O strange and miraculous separation O benefit past all requitall The thumbe of a man newly dead and quartered to depart from the hand as it were sponte sua of it owne accord to pleasure a friend that loued him so entirely and that in the middest of so many hundreds of people of a different Religion yet not espyed by any But the strangnes therof I leaue to your pious consideration confessing my selfe altogeather vnworthy and not any wayes able to explicate the worthines of the same This yonge Gentlewoman presently vpon this miraculous purchase hauing fully resolued to forsake the vanityes of the world and especially this our troublesome Countrey went not long after beyond the seas carrying with her this pretious Relique which she much esteemed There she deuoted herselfe to S.
