2 I| they from modern habits of thought, faith, and practice; while
3 I| Cassiodorus saith that the thought of him that is idle, thinketh
4 I| the sovereign priest, they thought that so noble a child, so
5 I| would worship also him, and thought that he would go slay him.

7 I| considering his life and thought to keep it, and did so much
8 I| manner of the ordinance and thought divine visibly be honoured
9 I| all the beasts of the the thought, and the song of the voice
10 I| that is, in the heart by thought; in the mouth by confession;
11 I| word, ne in deed, ne in thought, ne in opinion, for they
12 I| as S. Gregory saith: The thought of an holy man should be
13 I| and Cain fled away, Adam thought of procreation of children,
14 I| bear Abraham a child? She thought it impossible. Then said
15 I| to do so? Abraham said: I thought that the dread of God was
16 I| marvelled more than can be thought credible. And then he was
17 I| Rachel seven years, and him thought it but a little while, because
18 I| that he had to her, him thought that the other seven years
19 I| followeth after. And Jacob thought to please him with gifts. ~
20 I| The night following, him thought a man wrestled with him
21 I| in his sleep a dream. Him thought he stood upon the river,
22 I| may resist God's will? Ye thought to have done to me evil,

25 I| when the consenting and thought be certainly one, then it
26 II| prayed so heartily in her thought and mind, that her lips
27 II| Holofernes were angry and had thought for to have slain him, saying
28 II| those things that I have thought. And the servants led her
29 II| perform this that I have thought to do. And when she had
30 II| very confession, and holy thought, make a man clean. And the
31 II| the burning of him in his thought, and the talent of God,
32 II| he fraudulently, for he thought to slay him. After that
33 II| bringing him any tidings, he thought that anon he would do slay
34 II| thereabouts, among whom he thought to slay Jesu Christ. But
35 II| slay Jesu Christ. But his thought was empeshed and let, for
36 II| children than he had tofore thought. Then he sent into Bethlehem
37 II| Sire, that was never my thought, but I would fain please
38 II| their counsel together and thought they would do to the king
39 II| of age. And on a time he thought in himself that in the world
40 II| Victorice, and S. Gentian, and thought all an whole night upon
41 II| again to the world, and he thought in his heart that he should
42 II| silver in his way; then he thought whence this platter should
43 II| speak, for anon as they have thought on a thing is it come to
44 II| earth I loved with I my thought. And this was the eighth

46 II| he was but a servant, him thought it not possible, that ever
47 II| could not sleep, for he thought three hundred of his lords
48 III| virtues, and also that she thought not to be higher than other
49 III| which should pass by, and thought how they might do and pass
50 III| for to help them, and they thought that one of them should
51 III| understand, glorious Lady, the thought of thine heart that thou
52 III| freely: My courage and my thought be so firmly founded upon
53 III| nothing to enter into my thought whereof I should be ashamed,
54 III| saint Agatha had always holy thought and pure, and gave honor
55 III| and when he was born, he thought much, and sorrowed who should
56 III| evil desires, and turn his thought by this that we set tofore
57 III| were in great doubt, and thought what was best to do, for
58 III| was rich of patrimony, he thought that he would leave all
59 III| in this, that he put this thought in respite, he conceived
60 III| of this salutation, and thought in herself the manner thereof.
61 III| And then I returned and thought in myself that this came
62 III| body, all these came in my thought. Then I bewailed them on
63 III| And when he was in this thought he saw Iying by her head
64 III| saved the tenth, and yet he thought there were over many alive,
65 III| This shouldest thou have thought; go then and bury him at

67 III| same church. And then him thought that the church had burned
68 III| not believe in God, but thought how he might put his son
69 III| that this clerk, if it had thought him good and profitable,
70 III| them signs by which they thought well that he had seen some
71 III| departed from Rome, they thought that they would go see S.

73 III| the people seeing which, thought it a great wonder. She pursued
74 IV| sacrifice of the holiness of thy thought, the which our Lord hath
75 IV| well, as for him, but he thought it might not be, because
76 IV| think or what I do, which thought I shall first tell to thee,
77 IV| shall do it when he hath thought. Then Simon having indignation,
78 IV| have showed you what he thought against me, not in words
79 IV| contemplation delicious, for rest of thought is required in contemplation,
80 IV| Christ. And with this love he thought himself blessed. He coveted
81 IV| them for Christ's sake. He thought he was made more fair with
82 IV| constrained to be in prison, he thought he was in heaven, and he
83 IV| sight to behold. And him thought that he climbed upon this
84 IV| heavy and sorrowful, and him thought there came a fair bird which
85 IV| of perfect knowledge in thought, and with the light in clearness
86 IV| that Simon the Pharisee thought in himself that, if our
87 IV| their riches. Then Decius thought what he should do with them,
88 IV| much amarvelled. But he thought little on the stones, for
89 IV| little on the stones, for he thought on other things. Then came
90 IV| supposed that he had erred, and thought verily to go again to his
91 IV| Ephesus. Then the bishop thought in himself, and said to
92 IV| or speech. Cogitation or thought ought to be holy, affection
93 IV| had an holy cogitation or thought, and thereof he is said
94 IV| him and help her, for she thought that all the world was not
95 IV| honour to a man damned, and thought that they might not lightly

97 IV| of reason, wisdom of holy thought, in works of divinity. He
98 IV| cured the filths of the thought. ~There was a priest which
99 IV| for to preach, and as he thought of this there came a young
100 IV| give it to thee. And as he thought what he should require,
101 IV| and as he had a little thought he looked upon the ground
102 IV| much steadfast equality of thought, but if he had been moved
103 IV| remembered the living men, he thought to pray the health of S.
104 IV| that could be devised or thought were brought tofore Decius.
105 IV| ardently chauffed in his thought by the rays of truth, that
106 IV| sinner, Run with all thy thought unto the Lady of mercy which
107 IV| them had conceived in his thought of the bounty of her. And
108 IV| and goods, which exceed thought human. Thy surety, thy very
109 IV| till that faith changed his thought. And he wailing so ruefully
110 V| dwell with the serpent, and thought for to flee it. And then
111 V| meditation or praying, him thought that all holy scriptures
112 V| seemed in a trance, and him thought that he was tofore God in
113 V| and tarried a while, and thought whether he might say more
114 V| Bernard and said that he had thought in praying, and after that
115 V| I will be a monk? Nay, I thought it never, ne it came never
116 V| place much heavy, and her thought that a fair young man was
117 V| goods, but day and night he thought in divine scriptures. He
118 V| loved her with a right pure thought.~On a time when the King
119 V| a marvellous vision. Him thought there came a man to the
120 V| espied this hind, and they thought that she was so fair that

122 V| with all devotion of his thought, praying her to be his aid
123 V| womb. So sith this holy man thought himself insufficient to
124 V| made, or the philosopher thought, it is all closed by his
125 V| hast loved with all thy thought. And on that day that I
126 V| her in such wise that he thought in his bed wicked and cursed
127 V| wouldst have returned in thy thought, and I was glad that thou
128 V| trusting well in our Lord, thought he should well vanquish
129 V| indignation against me, because I thought to have forsaken them, but
130 V| buried with him, and as they thought thereon there came a voice
131 V| things, and overpass by thought all temporal things. They
132 V| brethren the friars? And as he thought this, he heard suddenly

135 VI| he marvelled greatly, and thought verily that he was greatly
136 VI| with that good deed, but thought and also did do make another
