feruently prayed vnto God for the health of the poore man who was presently deliuered and freed wholy from all his infirmities Againe at another time also as Xauerius sayled from Ambionum a Citty in the Ilands of Moluca vnto the Iland of Baranula there arose vpon the suddaine a cruell Tempest for the deasing wherof he tooke frō his neck a little Crucifixe about a fingars length and held it in his hand in the water for a good space praying vnto our Lord for the ceasing of the tempest The ship beinge tossed to and fro with the waues by chance he let it fall from him into the sea for which he was very pensiue shewed great signes of sorrow The day following they all ariued safe at the for said Iland whither they were to sayle where Xauerius going a land with his Companion a long the sea shore towards the towne of Tamalum behould a great sea-Crabbe leapt from out the sea to land carring the said Crucifix vpright and on high betweene her Finnes and made hast to Xauerius who seing the wonder fell downe on his knees and reuerently tooke the Crucifix from her and then prosently without more adoe the fish returned into the sea Xauerius hauing receaued the Crucifix kissed the same deuoutly and with his armes a crosse for halfe an houre lay prostrate vpon the ground in prayer with his Companiō giuing God thanks for so wonderfull a miracle Many more and strange were the miracles which God wrought by Xauerius his intercession in his life time as when with the signe of the crosse he turned the salt water of the sea into sweet when he cured the blinde raised three bodies frō death to life wherof one had laine a whole day buried in his graue and the like as may be seene at large in the said Relation All which together with his excellent vertues aboue touched did so fill the most wide large Prouinces both of East and West with the great fame of his admirable sanctity that euen while he was yet aliue he was called by no other name but Saint both by Christians and Infidells all euer calling vpō him though he were absent in all their dangers and afflictions As soone as he was dead his body was put into a coffin full of pure lime and so buried vnder ground that the flesh being consumed his bones might the sooner be carried into the Indies But foure monethes after they found both his cloathes and his body as fresh and free frō all corruption as if they had bene then newly put into the coffin and yielding more ouer a most sweet and comfortable smell vnto all that were present Wherfore putting it againe into the same Coffin with fresh lime they brought it vnto Malaca at the very first entrance whereof into the Citty a great plague which Xauerius had foretold and had long afflicted the same wholy ceased and there likewise finding it yet entire and sweet they made a new coffin and by thrusting in the body for they made it too little bloud issued out of his shoulders and so they buried him only with earth in a Church of our B. Ladie where also nine monethes after his death being found as before and with the veyle that couered his face all imbrued in fresh bloud they made him a rich and sumptuous Coffin wherin being carried into the Indies he was solemnely receiued in the Citty of Goa with great Pōpe both of the Viceroy him selfe and of all the Clergy people who flocked thither from all parts to see and reuerence his sacred body which after many ●●ialls found still to remayne vncorrupted and that without balme or an yother pretious ointments was placed at last in a sepulcher made of purpose at the right side of the high altar in the church of the Society in the same Citty Vnto which as also vnto other Churches in which his Images are set vp to be piously reuerenced all as well heathens as Christians doe make great pilgrimages obtayning therfore of God no small fauours by his intercession For by this meanes the blind recouer sight the leprosy and other diseases are cured the dead raised to life and many other such like wonders wrought Nay which is more and very wonderfull there was a woman called Lucy de Villanzan who being an hundred and twenty yeares of age and had bene baptized by Xauerius after his death got a Meddall made at Coccinum wheron was engrauen his picture for the great deuotion she had towards the said Blessed Father for twelue yeares together she vsed to touch sicke and diseased people therwith with as also diuers kinds of vlcers cankers and other sores washing thē in the water wherin she did put the said meddall with great reuerence and humility making the signe of the Crosse vpon them and saying In the name of Iesus and of Father Francis Xauerius be thy health restored to thee c. they were presently cured and many other meruailous things were done by the vertue of the said meddall sincere faith and deuotion of that Christian woman So great is the respect which the very Infidells themselues beare to Xauerius that although they haue destroyed a dozen Churches within the Coast of Trauancor neere to the Promōtary of Comorinum yet they would neuer touch or once meddle with the Church of Cottara stāding amongst the rest which for hauing in it the Image of Xauerius they greatly honour calling it the Church of the great Father And so amongst other wonderfull workes of God in confirmation of the Christian Faith and sanctity of Xauerius the very lampes that hang before his Image hauing nothing else but holy water in them haue bene seene to burne for many houres together as if there had bene oyle and that with great admiration and wonder of many Turkes and Infidells wherof some especially such as the Christians did now and then inuite to see the miracle to the intent that they might make a full triall of the truth diuers times changed the water and put new matches or weekes in the said lampes which neuerthelesse did burne as before sometimes euen take fire and kindle of themselues Mirabilis Deus in sanctis suis O how wonderfull is God in his Saints THE LIFE OF S.
