 26 2   |      that St Francis held him in great reverence, and often was
 27 2   |       devil. Now St Francis felt great compassion for Brother Bernard,
 28 2   |          Bernard exclaimed, with great joy, "Sursum corda! Brother
 29 3   |       the friend, because of the great devotion he bore to St Francis,

 44 1   |        we are not worthy of this great treasure"; and he repeated
 45 1   |        reason why I account it a great treasure, because man has
 46 1   |          Lord visited him with a great increase of fervour, which
 47 1   |      Brother Masseo, who, to his great surprise, was raised above
 48 1   |          for it is a treasure so great and so divine, that we are

 59 4   |        Francis received him with great charity, washing his feet,
 60 4   |         he went on his way, with great fervour, St Francis lifted
 61 4   |      some trees by the wayside a great multitude of birds; and
