we may take them And also he will that we take our abidings and our diseases as lightly as we may take them and set them at naught For the lightlier that we take them and the less price that we set at them for love less pain shall we have in the feeling of them and the more thank and meed shall we have for them The Lxv. Chapter ANd thus I understood that what man or woman wilfully choseth God in this Life for Love he may be sure that he is loved without end with endless Love that worketh in him that grace for he will we keep this trustily that we be as sicker in hope of the bliss of Heaven whiles we are here as we shall be in surety when we are there And ever the more liking and joy that we take in this sickerness with reverence and meekness the better liketh him For as it was shewed this reverence that I mean is a holy courteous dread of our Lord to which meekness is knit and that is that a creature see the Lord marvellous great and her self marvellous litle For these vertues are had endlesly to the Loved of God And it may now be seen and felt in measure by the gracious presence of our Lord when it is Which presence in all thing is most desired for it worketh that marvellous sickerness in true Faith and siker hope by greatness of Charity in dread that is sweet and delectable It is Gods will that I see my self as much bound to him in Love as if he had done for me all that he hath done And thus should every Soul think in regard of his Love that is to say the Charity of God maketh in us such a unity that when it is truly seen no man can part them self from other And thus ought each Soul to think that God hath done for him all that he hath done And this sheweth he to make us to love him and liken him and nothing dread but him for it is his will we know that all the might of our enemies is locked in our Friends hands And therefore the Soul that knoweth this sickerly he shall not dread but him that she loveth All other dreads she set them among passions and bodily sickness and imaginations And therefore though we been in so much pain woe and disease that us thinketh we can think right naught but that we are in or that we feel assoon as we may we pass it lightly over and set we it at naught And why for God will be known for if we know him and Love him and reverently dread him we shall have patience and be in great rest And it should been great liking to us all that he doth And this shewed our Lord in these words What should it then agrieve thee to suffer a while seeing it is my Will and my Worship Now have I told you of xv Shewings as God witsafe to minister them to my mind renewed by Lightnings and Touchings I hope of the same Spirit that sheweth them all Of which xv Shewings the first began early in the morning about the hour of four and it lasted shewing by process full fair and soberly each following other till it was noon of the day or past The Sixteenth Revelation The Lxvj. Chapter ANd after this the good Lord shewed the xvjth Revelation on the night following as I shall say after Which xvjth was conclusion and confirmation to all the xv But first me behooveth to tell you as anenst my feebleness wretchedness and blindness I have said at the beginning where it saith And in this suddenly all my pain was taken from me Of which pain I had no grief ne no disease as long as the xv Shewings lasted in shewing And at the end all was close and I saw no more and soon I felt that I should live longer And anon my sickness came again first in my head with a sound and a noise And suddenly all my body was fulfilled with sickness like as it was before And I was as barren and as dry as I had never had comfort but litle and as a wretch mourned heavily for feeling of my bodily pains and for faulting of comfort Ghostly and Bodily Then came a Religious person unto me and asked me how I fared and I said I had raved to day and he laught lowd and inwardly And I said The Cross that stood before my face methought it bled fast And with this word the Person that I spake to waxed all sad and marvelled And anon I was sore ashamed and astonished for my retchlesness And I thought this man taketh sadly the least word that I may say that saw no more thereof And when I saw that he took it so sadly and with so great reverence I waxed full greatly ashamed and would have been * i e. confessed and absolved shriven but I could tell it to no Priest for I thought How should a Priest believe me when I by saying I raved I shewed my self not to believe our Lord God Notwithstanding I believed him truly for the time that I saw him And so was then my will and my meaning ever for to doe without end But as a Fool I let it pass out of my mind Ah Loe how wretched I was this was a great sin and a great unkindness that I for folly of feeling of a litle bodily pain so unwisely left for the time the comfort of all this blessed shewing of our Lord God Here may you see what I am of my self But herein would our courteous Lord not leave me And I lay still till night trusting in his mercy and then I began to sleep The Lxvij. Chapter ANd in my sleep at the beginning methought the fiend set him in my throat putting forth a visage full near my face like a young man And it was long and wonder lean I saw never none such The colour was red like the Tile stone when it is new brent with black spots therein like frackles fouler than the Tile-stone his hair was red as rust not scoured afore with side Locks hanging down in flakes he grinned upon me with a shrowd look and shewed me white teeth And so | i e. much my kill me thought it the more ugly body ne hands had he none shapely but with his paws he held me in the throat and would have stopped my breath and kild me but he might not This ugly shewing was made sleeping and so was none other And in all this time I trusted to be saved and kept by the mercy of God And our courteous Lord gave me grace to wake and | i e. scarcely unnethes had any Life The persons that were with me beheld me and wet my temples and my heart began to comfort And anon a litle smoke came in at the door with a great heat and a foul stinch and then I said Benedicite dominus Is it all on fire that is here And I went it had been a bodily fire
