helpe to humble this cursed Belzebub let euery one of you set his foote on his head and in contempt of him say three times Ite maledicti in ignem aeternum Then he commanded on Gods behalfe that euery one should deiect Magdalene and humble her by putting their feete on her head and said Take courage vnto thee Magdalene this i● behoofefull for thee for the remission of thy sins and the confusion of Lucifer Belzebub and all hell O great confusion that the Diuels should be at ods and combat against diuels and take part with God it was neuer before heard of Hold thy selfe Magdalene to bee the most vile and detested creature that is vpon the earth and thou shalt proue another Magdalene and shalt die a penitent O Magdalene thou shalt be a helper vnto S. Vrsula and shalt be much honoured A great sinner shall find great mercy witnesse the Prophet Dauid and a lesse sinner ●esse mercy O great great great mercy let euery one pray for it Then the Priest tooke the blessed Sacrament at Verrines owne instance to make him sweare who said Magdalene I say this in thy behalfe Adoramus te Christum miserere ei miserere ei And as those that were there presēt were saying miserere mei Deus vpō a suddē he began to howle and cry like a galli-slaue and as if he were framed out of rage and despaire saying Miserere tui miserere tui miserere tui Magdalene to shew how God doth reioyce at the conuersion of this soule O Magdalene the Angels of heauen would triumph at it and Lucifer with the whole kingdome of hell would grow sad and dumpish vpon the same It is true Magdalene thou art in a desert very happie for thee Cursed be S. Baume O how fortunate is it vnto thee O how disasterous vnto hell This is the sheepe which the Prophet saw deuoured by the wolfe whereof nothing but the peeces of the eares was remnant which signifieth the soule of an obstinate sinner for men in an agonie lose their hearing last That you may therefore be conuerted you must haue the eares of your hearts open thereby to receiue in the inspirations of God O Magdalene worship the right hand of thy God worship also his left hand worship his side Magdalen where all thy sins lie buried worship his head that was couered with thornes for thy sake Magdalene and beg from him one thorne of true compunction It is true Magdalene thou hast offended him in thy fiue senses and Magdalene his fiue wounds haue made reparation of the same A braue miracle Magdalene that the diuels should say Miserere tui and should beg mercy for thee And then Verrine sware according to the meaning of God and his Church vpon the blessed sacrament confessing in the said sacrament the reall presence with his humanitie diuinity and all his glory that Louyse knew nothing of this neither vnderstood shee that Magdalene was a witch or of the schedule All which said he is true and hee that would denie this must denie the power of God the authoritie of his Church and the vertue and efficacy of Exorcismes God hauing told Peter that the gates of hell should not preuaile against his Church Tu es Petrus super hanc Petram They should further denie all bookes of Exorcismes if they denie that the diuell cannot speake truth when God forceth him thereunto And turning againe vnto Magdalene hee said vnto her Thy father gaue thee not vnto the diuell Magdalene It is true Magdalene thou diddest indeed abide in thy fathers house at that time Magdalene and yet tookest not thy bane with S. Vrsula It is no wonder that a yong girle should bee led astray as a sheep when her shepheard is the meanes hereof but this was no shepheard of the Gospell but of the number of those that fly away when they see the wolfe nay worse he is the wolfe himselfe and hell is well stuffed with such as hee It is true Magdalene thou wert and art possessed and it was expedient that the Priests should watch with thee for otherwise the diuels had carried thee away such power had they ouer thee both here and abroad and wheresoeuer thou wentest Then he discoursed of Lewes and said O Lewes if thou be not conuerted thou shalt bee burned aliue but if thou be then shalt thou proue a Theophilus and a Cyprian Mary will endeauour to conuert thee therefore beware Lewes how thou resist her I am the executioner of that high iustice and am constrained by force vnto obedience If I were capable of heauen you would peraduenture pray vnto God for me but your prayers will not be auaileable vnto me I am deba●'d from Paradice the sentence is gone forth against me The sentence of the highest is not as an earthly sentēce obnoxious vnto change and repealeable for money Ite maledicti venite benedicti shall stand for euermore Iurauit dominus non poenitebit he shall neuer repent himselfe thereof If the Kings of the earth make good the performance of what they haue promised who are in comparison but as gnats much more will the King of glory and God of Israel auow his denuntiations Then hee said O great miracle full of rarenesse and nouelty destinated to Gods glory and to the conuersion of sinners there is nothing in it preiudiciall to God or his Church it is for the reputation and honour of the fathers of your doctrine the Diuels hauing conspired to root them and the companie of S. Vrsula out of the Church but it is a greater wonder that a diuell should adore God and should confesse and say vnto the blessed sacrament behold my God and my Iudge then if all the Christians in the world should without intermission call vpon all the names of God and should returne backe to goe them ouer againe till the day of iudgement It is no wonder if those doe well that haue a power thereunto that is if they doe often call vpon and worship their God but this is an exceeding great wonder that those who of themselues haue no capacity vnto goodnesse should yet doe the thing that is good when it is commanded them from God This the Diuels doe without any expectance or hope of compensation And whiles that Pange lingua was said to the honour of the blessed Sacrament which the Priest held vpon the rehearsall of this verse Sola fides sufficit Verrine cryed O this is most true sola fides sufficit faith a-alone is sufficient How can it bee that so great a God should be contained in such a little Host and he cryed out saying yet is it true hee is present here worship you him for hee is here really and truly cursed bee the curious Curiositie will let them drop into a pit from whence they shall not bee able to issue forth at their pleasure We our selues are constrained to worship him and to beleeue his

paines punishments and tortures which thou diddest suffer for Lewes make thou profer also of that thirstinesse which caused such a drought in thee vpon the tree of the Crosse. And continuing his speech to Christ Iesus hee said What Lord are you thirsty you are a fountaine that can neuer be drawne dry you are a sea of waters you are the seller of all sorts so excellent wines and doe you cry Sitio Lord the soules that are in Paradise are able to quench this thirst But some one will obiect what can Christ Iesus bee subiect to thirst and such naturall infirmities is not his body glorified said he not that the Saints in heauen should no more hunger and thirst how can God who is the center of all perfections haue vpon him such an impotency in nature Verrine answered God is wearie without wearinesse he is impatient without hastinesse he was thirsty on Mount Caluary but it was after the saluation of soules for whose sake if it were expedient hee would once againe be re-crucified on this very Crosse of S. Baume if his body were passible and subiect to suffering O how vnexpressable is his compassion towards you Then he said This is the Friday of your redemption and the day of Lewes his iustification if he please let him ponder vpon these words Remittuntur tibi O Lodouice peccata tua and also these Vade in pace Lewes why doest thou thus fore-slow thy comming O ye Capuchins Capuchins Capuchins hasten your pace and come quickly But you will obiect that you are bare-footed and that it is impossible for you to make such festination indeed Hell did yesterday and to day raise such a storme and made the clouds to spout downe raine after that vnmeasurable manner that the Diuels had well hoped to giue some stop vnto thy worke O God but thou art euer omnipotent and doest make thy creatures to stoope vnder thy commands although they be most rebelliously bent against thee Then speaking to Magdalene he said Sigh not thus God hath the key of thy soule and will giue thee meate from his owne table Thou Belzebub art heauie but I am glad knowing that whatsoeuer is held by the puissant hand of God cannot be plucked from him by the strength or policy of hell The soule is a goodly Vineyard purchased at an high rate but the number of those that manure and labour the same is small and not worthy to come into consideration yea some of the labourers themselues suffer the Wolfe to steale in and to make hauocke in this Vineyard the master whereof is the Sonne of God who is without mother in Heauen and without father on earth a second Adam conceiued of a Virgine without sinne The Eucharist is the Sacrament of loue and the nourishment of soules translating you vnto glory and making you as Gods Paradise is the habitation of Saints but if thou wouldest be absolute and compleate in perfection descend by contemplation as low as Hell and say I am vnworthy to suffer the paines of Hell although that horrible pit of sulphure was built for such as I am who carry in my bosome the well-spring of all sinnes and wickednesses But how few are there that arriue to this point of humiliation and vnder-valuing of themselues although it bee the center from whence they are to begin and the highest assent whereunto they are to climbe yet this debasement of themselues taketh little roote with the greatest sort of men Who is hee that will beleeue that himselfe is the cause of all the euils paines and iudgements that haue been so fearefully rained downe vpon you especially if hee haue from his youth liued in some religious Order and obserued the rules and precepts of his Superiors yet is this humility the extract of all perfection the Queen that draweth after her all the other Princesses Ladies and Damsels and which is more the mother of God is humility it selfe and doth therefore the rather exact it from you God hath giuen two wings vnto the soule the one of feare the other of loue the first hath regard vnto sinne the second doth apprehend the goodnesse of God Hee that eateth at a Kings table will not sit with foule and vn-washed hands though otherwise hee bee of a rude and boysterous behauiour and will not you be careful to wash your hands with the water of contrition and make confession of your sinnes Christ Iesus at the first institution of the blessed Sacrament did wash the feet of his Apostles and Peter at the beginning would haue hindered him but when hee saw it was the good pleasure of his master hee then subiected himselfe thereunto Iudas himselfe set his feet vpon the breast of the Sonne of God that they might be washed yet would he not for all this be conuerted Iohn leaned vpon the heart of his master and therefore had the wings of an Eagle giuen vnto him so that hee was afterwards the adopted Sonne of the blessed Virgine The iudgements of God and men are infinitely different for many are sickly and in a consumption by their sinnes before God who in the estimation of men are very healthfull and contrariwise those that are sound before God are ●eeble before men God will come to iudgement with terrour and power all things shall tremble before his face the Angels and the righteous shall go before him like burning Torches all creatures shall behold this awfull spectacle and shall bee arrested before this Maiesty Then shall the bookes bee vnfoulded and all shall be laid open in publike You haue many heere that are shamefast and nice to confesse their sinnes in the meane time the Diuell booketh downe all that is actionable and hath euer his pen and ink-horne ready so that he omitteth nothing and intendeth to obiect it against you openly and to your disgrace It were a folly beyond pardon to beg a straw of a mighty King for Princes Presents are like themselues magnificent and they are not to be disseasoned with petty suites Thus should not you craue the straw and stubble of temporary blessings from the King of Kings but you should beg of him the treasures of heauen which hee himselfe is contented you should request at his hands Pray him to giue you patience humility and other vertues and bee not euer solliciting him for faire weather for raine for the riches and preferments of this world Whether it raine or whether it bee faire bee thankfull vnto God and co-operate with him in al things so shall you giue best satisfaction vnto him This day in the euening there came to S. Baume Lewes Gaufredy with father d' Ambruc sub-priour of the couent at S. Maximin and two Capuchin fathers where it was thought fit that Lewes the Priest should exorcise Louyse and to that end father Michaelis granted vnto him all his power and authority Whereupon Verrine made Louyse to cry very loud and began a prayer full of
