another Wonder That small piece of Candle not two Inches long burned from six of the Clock in the Evening until the next day without the least diminution In their Journey a third Wonder appear'd before them it was light as the Day but behind them a very dark Night They set out so late and walked so slowly for fear of injuring the Child that it was late in the Night e're they arrived at Vertigneuil 'T is to be supposed that they lodged there burning in the interim the hallowed Candle by the Child The next morning as soon as it was perfect day light they went to the Priests Lodging but not finding him there they heard that he was gone to the Castle of Vertain upon some affair The Father and the Church-Wardens Wife went presently thither when they came there it was Noon and they found all the Gates shut they knock'd but in vain for no body opened them Behold now a fourth Wonder The Portal of the first Gate opened its self also the Portals of the second and third Gate opened of their own accord and they came into the Chamber where the Governour the Priest and others were without the knowledge of any in the Castle Henry Damman who was Governour of the Castle began to demand whether they were Friends or Enemies and run at the Porter with his Sword to Revenge the Treachery he thought him guilty of but having with astonishment heard the reason of their coming and the opening of the Portals he and the guests about twenty in number would accompany the Priest to the Baptizing of such a Child When they came where the Infant was they saw in it remarkable Tokens of life it bled at the Nose opened its Mouth and Eyes it sighed and wept great tears This firmly assured the Priest and all the Spectators that it was alive the Priest Baptized it in the Presence of almost Seventy Persons And presently after is not this the fifth Miracle they saw it evidently wast and decay like Snow it died there and was Buried in Sanctify'd Earth The same hour the Mother Firmine felt her Breast to dry which before was full of Milk. This Miracle was seen and attested by two whole Villages Oh wonderful thing What can Impudence Yea Calumny its self say against these Miracles Blessed be thou O Blessed Virgin which bore in thy Womb everlasting life and through thy Mercy and Intercession gave life both of Soul and Body to the Dead and made him partaker of eternal life Keep in us the life of Grace that we may enjoy a happy Death a joyful Resurrection and everlasting Glory and live in it with thee and thy Son for ever CHAP. XVI An innocent Man wonderfully delivered from the Gallows IF the Mother of God be ready to help the impious how can she then neglect the innocent seeking her aid it is far from her mercy and goodness so to do This was exemplified in the person of John Sampenoy who 1405. coming from Aspernay in Champagine to Halle to offer his Devotions to the Blessed Virgin on the way he got two Treacherons companions Nicholat Barren and Peter Le Norman who understanding the cause of his Journey told him that they also were going to Halle but not for the sake of Devotion but profit for they were Merchants These two were pursued and taken at Avennes for Thieves and Legally convicted of Robbery They were put upon the Rack whereupon they confessed that they had stole and Sold four Silver Cups and withal accused Sampenoy of being Guilty with them of the Theft and receiving a third part thereof also they said that they had Murthered a Man on the way and Sampenoy had assisted them hereupon they were led to Execution but Nicholas upon the Gallows cleared Sampenoy and recalled his false accusation but Peter Le Norman persisted in his acccusation affirming that John was alike guilty with him and that he would confirm this with his Death The Judge proceeded and hanged Sampenoy with the other two notwithstanding his constant assertion of his Innocence the Judge exhorted the people to hear a Mass for his Soul to which Sampenoy replied No my Lord I had rather they would recite a Pater Noster and an Ave Mary in honour of the Blessed Virgin of Halle to whom I was going and because my innocence cannot help me here I appeal to her and desire that she would please to defend me He was then turned off the Ladder but still continued alive the Executioner in a passion leapt upon his shoulders that he might strangle him with his weight but for all this he remained alive seeing clearly as he after related a Beautiful Woman of a Majestick aspect who embraced him and took him into her protection More than an hour had been spent on this manner to the amazement of all the spectators when John de Selles a Gentleman came riding with full speed to thither and said to the Judge My Lord I desire that you would please to give me this innocent man or rather give him to our Lady in whose name and was by whose command I came hither Sampenoy was immediately cut down and released and began to thank the Gentleman but he told him that it was the Mother of God which had wrought his deliverance whom he was obliged to go Halle to serve It is Proverb That a man had better be given over by ten Physitians than be condemned by one Judge but they that hide themselves under the wings of the B. Virgin need not fear the one nor the other For Sickness and Death are in her power to inflict or restrain them CHAP.
