but only to shew that eminent sanctity may proue it selfe by the cleere beames of her owne beauty without any any borrowed light deriued from supernaturall power as it did in S. Iohn Baptist aboue mentioned and many other Saints YET for further confirmation of this The time of Bellarmines death reuealed foretold to Pope Gregory the xv particular ther are somethings reported not reported ōly but manifestly proued to be mi●aculous Or which that first occurreth to be remembred that the Generall after the death and ●uneralls of the Cardinall repayring for audience to this present Pope Gregory the fifteenth was willed by the sayd Pope to read a letter which he tooke from of a little table and gaue him in reading wherof he found these wordes Betweene the sixtenth and seauententh of September Cardinall Bellarmyne shall go to heauen and as his Holines testified the writer of that letter could not then when he wrote it so much as haue heard of the Cardinalls sicknes and indeed about midnight of the sixteenth day he fell into his agony and dyed the next morning Although out of humility the Writer desired to haue his name concealed yet doth the thing it selfe speake both Bellarmines sanctity and thrice happy end and the singular vertue of the said party and great vnion with God for he could not haue knowne this but by reuelation no naturall causes to one so far absent being able to yield so exact punctuall assurance in so vncertayne a casuality as is the life of man which dependeth on so many and those so indeterminate circumstances as are the meanes by which it may be eyther contracted and cut off or else drawne on to a greater length This knowledge alone appertayneth vnto him from whō nothing can lye hid in whose hands alone are all our liues all momentes all tymes which by vs can be no more or lesse knowne then it shall please his mercifull Goodnes to open and disclose vnto vs. The same morning that the Cardinall departed this life his voyce was He reuealeth his owne happines heard to speake vnto some in the Citty of the number I am vncertayne and to say vnto them Adio adesso me ne vado in Paradiso farewell for euen now I go to heauen which voyce amongst others was heard of the Dutches of Sforza a very vertuous Lady now liuing in Rome and one of the other who heard the like voice did not at that time know that the Cardinall was in any danger of death at all The Vertue Nobility multitude of these personages togeather with the vniforme report is a sufficient warrant of their words And euen now though somwhat late is come to my handes a briefe Relatiō of a miraculous cure done by a Relique of his vpon a Religious woman of the order of S. Bennet called Paula Landi in the Monastery of our B. Ladyes in Campo Martio of Rome Thus the thing fell out The said Paula the sixth day of October A strange and miraculous cure done by a Relique o● the Cardinall by a fall brake one of her rib-bones in such sort as that one part thereof did stand out and the other was turned inward towards her brest the paine she felt was excessiue and withall her weaknes was such as she could not vest herselfe eate or vse her arme The Surgeon in setting the bone right increased her paine and besides the extremity of her bodily griefe she was in wardly also very much afflicted in mynde with the feare eyther of a continuall lamenes if she did recouer or with the long end●rance of that insupportable torment which would haue no other end then the end of her life Whiles she remayned in the perplexity of these afflicting thoughts there was brought to the Monastery a piece of linnen that had touched the Cardinalls body which she desired to haue when she had it did apply the same to the woūd much swolne with the concourse of humors then betaking herselfe to prayer hartily craued the intercession of the holy Cardinall loe in the space of one houre she was deliuered frō all paine could vest herselfe walke and doe any thing as before in so much as on the Sonday following for this hapned on fryday she serued the rest at table and at this present is as well able to doe any thing as euer she was before And this the party hath testifyed to my selfe who purposely got leaue to speake with her about this matter and not only the sayd Paula but others of her Order who were present when I speake vnto her did testify th● same adding further that all of the sayd Monastery would doe the like Paula herselfe wrote as much as here I report subscribed the same with her own hand and sent it to the Fathers of the Society of the Casa Professa where the Cardirall is buryed Since the former cure there hath hapned another that vpon an Honorable personage to wit the Lord Riuiullo Bishop of Bel-Castro This man being much afflicted with a payne in his sides that wonderfully molested him before he vvould apply any medicine thereunto called for a little red cap of silke which Bellarmyne did vveare vnder his square cap and confiding much in his merits and intercession touched those partes that grieued him therewith and incontinently he was cured and fully deliuered from all payne as the said Honourable Personage hath testifyed and confirmed by his Oath Hand and Seale More in this kind I might write but for that I haue not such meanes to search out their truth as I thinke is requisite ere they be thus diuulged I leaue them to others to relate who doe better know them and in the history of his life which already is thought vpon they will I doubt not be most faithfully recorded to the Glory of God Honour of his Seruant and Comfort of others These thinges thus testifyed I thought good to set downe which haue so soone hapned after his death because in part they confirme vvhat before I wrote of his holy life and saint-like departure God graunt vs his Grace so to imitate his Vertues as we may shut vp this our mortall and fraile life with so happy an end Amen Cardinall Bellarmyne was borne in the yeare 1542. the fourth day of October being the feast of S.
