1002     V|        when on a time as this holy man went as a legate in to that
1003     V|           in all manners, the holy man went to the altar for to
1004     V|          at his feet. And the holy man put his foot at him, and
1005     V|    accomplished anon that the holy man commanded. ~On a time as
1006     V|       master against him, the holy man answered to him and said:
1007     V|    received the habit of this holy man, S. Bernard.~He took also
1008     V|      receive this of my hand. Anda man named Apollinarius saw this
1009     V|        blood was shed: A christian man bare away three stones which
1010     V|            that he that vanquished man by eating, and held him,
1011     V|            should be overcome by a man fasting, and hold man no
1012     V|            a man fasting, and hold man no longer. For it is rightful
1013     V|          place whereas dwelleth no man, and be thou there unto
1014     V|         another place, there was a man which found men all white
1015     V|      supposed was most proper in a man. And he answered: To laugh.
1016     V|          Nay, it is sin in which a man is conceived, born and liveth
1017     V|           Nay, it is the head of a man, in which the little world
1018     V|            without teaching of any man, this knowest thou, my Lord
1019     V|          thought that a fair young man was tofore her, that enquired
1020     V|            that he was a christian man. To whom Simplician said:
1021     V|      merrily: The walls make not a man christian. At the last,
1022     V|   signified by letters to the holy man, S. Ambrose, that he would
1023     V|           that time was in Hippo a man full of great virtues, which
1024     V|          all. For, on a time. as a man had loosed his tongue to
1025     V|            demand wife for another man, the second that, he should
1026     V|           not I, for I am a sinful man. Also he held himself suspect
1027     V|          shall not be deceived. No man, saith he, ought to be sure
1028     V|           thou shalt damn him. For man is praised for some gift
1029     V|            than they be.~This holy man confounded right valiantly
1030     V|            all, and spared neither man nor woman nor for order
1031     V|         sentence of a certain wise man he comforted himself, saying:
1032     V|        brought him.~A certain sick man came because he should lay
1033     V|          then heal myself. And the man required of him always,
1034     V|            in the same book that a man should have been cut of
1035     V|      should die, and then the sick man prayed God weeping, and
1036     V|      should retain in mind that no man, of what excellence that
1037     V|         same wrote so many that no man by day nor night might not
1038     V|          he saw a right fair young man standing before him, and
1039     V|           his doctine.~There was a man, which had great devotion
1040     V|         the finger of another dead man, wrapped in silk, and feigned
1041     V|            S. Austin. And the good man received it much honourably
1042     V|      things, and the faith of this man, gave to him for that finger
1043     V|         the finger of another dead man. The sepulchre was opened
1044     V|          away. Then here may every man take ensample that no man,
1045     V|          man take ensample that no man, and especially simple lettered
1046     V|         that there was an innocent man and a true which had lent
1047     V|           certain money to another man which denied it him when
1048     V|          he asked it. And the good man was moved, and constrained
1049     V|             Why calledst thou that man for to be believed by his
1050     V|           as he did. And then this man was taken and grievously
1051     V|        faith. John is greater than man, peer unto the angels, sovereign
1052     V|       Trinity. And this so great a man was put to martyrdom, and
1053     V|          Herod Agrippa was a noble man but he was poor, and for
1054     V|           went on their way a poor man which was of the city of
1055     V|           the holy head. Then this man was warned in the night
1056     V|          as he slept, there came a man to him which awoke him,
1057     V|          and he demanded of a holy man which had a spirit of prophecy,
1058     V|          had enterprised. And that man was all night in prayer
1059     V|      Charlemagne.~On a time came a man of great virtue, as S. Gregory
1060     V|            life smite no christian man. And the good man Sanctilus
1061     V|        christian man. And the good man Sanctilus prayed for him
1062     V|      sacrifice there. And the holy man kneeled down and prayed,
1063     V|         beasts. And there sprang a man in the middle among them
1064     V|           freely to be a christian man, and both of them kissing
1065     V|            said he was a christian man, when he suffered martyrdom.
1066     V|            him. And this holy good man went much humbly to him,
1067     V|            lady, for I have seen a man that spake to thee, but
1068     V|           into the house of a rich man whose daughter was bewailed
1069     V|             And there came a noble man from the city named Licerius,
1070     V|           And he said to her: That man for whom thou demandest
1071     V|            bury her with. The said man then sent a crier through
1072     V|        evil words annoy ne hurt no man when his own conscience
1073     V|        purely, therefore this holy man loved her with a right pure
1074     V|            in the morning the holy man conjured him that, he that
1075     V|         him on the way a religious man named Savien, which demanded
1076     V|           Him thought there came a man to the door of the cell
1077     V|      should neither grieve ne hurt man. And then Mammertin was
1078     V|            go. ~And when this holy man was dead and his body was
1079     V|       manner, unto the time that a man that was there in prison
1080     V|            church, he found a sick man which lay all sick in the
1081     V|            he went to the church a man was smitten with a serpent
1082     V|         all the venom. There was a man which was demoniac in the
1083     V|        city, and there he healed a man that had been sick of the
1084     V|           a hermit that was a holy man. And there by his merits
1085     V|          bush was so thick that no man ne beast might enter therein
1086     V|          wounded and hurt the holy man, which ceased not to pray
1087     V|         and saw there this ancient man, which was clothed in the
1088     V|         thought that he was a holy man, and required him humbly
1089     V|            him. And after the holy man delivered the schedule to
1090     V|           monastery he made a lame man to go, and found the two
1091     V|           it was convenable that a man cursed in the faith should
1092     V|            on it, he should be the man that should be desponsate
1093     V|            a thing unconvenable, a man of so old age as he was
1094     V|        clearly the advice of every man that he should have the
1095     V|       saith that, it happed that a man of good contemplation every
1096     V|          great light. So the first man, for his eating of the apple,
1097     V|         son, of thy mercy for this man, so that thou assuage upon
1098     V|          thirty-seven, there was a man named Theophilus which was
1099     V|          purpose to be a christian man, and thus he recovered the
1100     V|            womb. So sith this holy man thought himself insufficient
1101     V|       these torments. And the holy man said that never eye saw,
1102     V|         nor ear heard, ne heart of man might think, those things
1103     V|         here, for I am a christian man. And when the emperor heard
1104     V|            at their passion. And a man that saw him come, ran tofore
1105     V|             And Adrian was a young man, lusty and much fair, of
1106     V|         head and took the habit of man, and served the saints in
1107     V|          keep her from touching of man. And then suddenly she fell
1108     V|            she took the habit of a man, and came to the monastery
1109     V|            had said that she was a man, he said to her: Thou sayest
1110     V|           and well that thou art a man, for thou workest virtuously.
1111     V|            that Eugenia had been a man, and visited her oft and
1112     V|    complained, saying that a young man, a false christian, was
1113     V|    thundered. And thus this cursed man abode in this temple, and
1114     V|        people as a god, so that no man durst say nay to him. And
1115     V|       miracles renewed. For a dead man was raised to life, and
1116     V|            happed that a christian man met him and saw him all
1117     V|         thou? Thou hast slain some man. And he said: I have not.
1118     V|            have not. The christian man said: Verily, thou hast
1119     V|          things; I have smitten no man, but I have smitten the
1120     V|          Jew brought the christian man to the pit and there they
1121     V|            became a good christian man and was baptized.~In Syria,
1122     V|     Beirout, there was a christian man which had hired an house
1123     V|            he called the christian man that had left it in the
1124     V|        lives of Fathers that. as a man entered in a temple of the
1125     V|            commandment of the holy man of God.~It is read in the
1126     V|            no mercy to that cursed man, and yet he did nothing
1127     V|            In that same time was a man which was made master of
1128     V|          place to thee, whereas no man is warned to adore and pray.
1129     V|       common. And after, this holy man suffered great persecution
1130     V|         and condemning of the holy man S. John Chrysostom, and
1131     V|        that, the name of that holy man S. John was set among the
1132     V|             a right good christian man, son of the said emperor,
1133     V|       debonairty that he judged no man to death that had offended
1134     V|     Tripartite. And this holy holy man S. John Chrysostom passed
1135     V|         were, which devoured every man that came therein and swallowed
1136     V|          the felons. And this holy man warned his people that they
1137     V|            Then came before them a man that said that the enchanters
1138     V|         out of this paradise was a man cast, but he was called
1139     V|           God in the likeness of a man. And then the people came
1140     V|          as hastily follow another man that had called them. For
1141     V|          Christ was descended to a man, sinner, Matthew might have
1142     V|       three be oft recited that no man that would be converted
1143     V|          own. In this blessed sick man that was healed, that is
1144     V|         defend them. And the noble man, Maurice, was duke of this
1145     V|       should slay always the tenth man. Then the holy saints stretched
1146     V|            to behead yet the tenth man of them. And when that was
1147     V|          together, they saw an old man named Victor pass forth
1148     V|            that he was a christian man, they anon ran upon him
1149     V|          her for himself, or for a man named Acladius, which also
1150     V|        answered: I that might cast man out of Paradise, and procured
1151     V|           likeness of a fair young man, and entered into her chamber,
1152     V|            strengths, the which no man may forswear, that thou
1153     V|           had entered.~There was a man that should have gone a
1154     V|           himself in the form of a man, and brought to the woman
1155     V|            Damian, and there was a man which served devoutly the
1156     V|      fetched the thigh of the sick man and so changed that one
1157     V|           other. And when the sick man awoke and felt no pain,
1158     V|            to the tomb of the dead man, and found the thigh of
1159     V|           If God be righteous this man shall not be saved, for
1160     V|    everlastingly be punished. This man received a vesture of a
1161     V|     judgments of God. As long as a man hopeth to do his penance,
1162     V|       mercy of God is ready to the man. The devil answered: Here
1163     V|           And the angel said: This man hath done good works to
1164     V|          for God shall reward ever man after his works. And the
1165     V|            God be not wicked, this man shall not escape without
1166     V|        thou show not to the wicked man his wickedness, I shall
1167     V|       blood of thine hand and this man hath not showed worthily
1168     V|        appertaineth well to a wise man to be still, when it is
1169     V|        adversaries. Then this holy man was environed with great
1170     V|         the same city of Syponte a man which was named Garganus,
1171     V|      mountain took the name of the man. And he was right rich,
1172     V|       other beasts. Then this rich man, the owner, took a great
1173     V|          saying: Know ye that this man is so hurt by my will. I
1174     V|            were two rocks which no man's power might remove. Then
1175     V|           S. Michael appeared to a man and commanded him that he
1176     V|       ministry is limited unto one man. Archangels be said more
1177     V|        worthy than the weal of one man. In the assignation of the
1178     V|           Michael's place. There a man that was named Aquiline
1179     V|            be overcome of any holy man, he may never after tempt
1180     V|            may never after tempt a man of that vice of which he
1181     V|          find there the steps of a man impressed in a marble stone.
1182     V|          to worship them. To every man be given two angels, one
1183     V|            an angel necessary to a man. For when he is yet little
1184     V|        deputed to the keeping of a man to the end that he address
1185     V|         that he address and induce man against the fallacy, that
1186     V|          keeping of the angel to a man may be assigned in four
1187     V|          Lord hath aroused me as a man that is waked out of his
1188     V|       sleep. Thirdly, in leading a man in the way of penance and
1189     V|         blaming the sin past, that man depart from it, and that
1190     V|        manners. First, in moving a man to contrition, and this
1191     V|          The fourth profit is that man fall not so oft into sin
1192     V|          is needful to the need of man, for they be sent to inflame
1193     V|          he show the equity of the man, our Lord should have mercy
1194     V|            to thee, for thou art a man of desires. Of these three
1195     V|      Jerome was the son of a noble man named Eusebius, born of
1196     V|            that he was a christian man. And the judge said: Thou
1197     V|       Ciceronian, and no christian man, whereas thy treasure is,
1198     V|           would forgive this young man his trespass. And he then
1199     V|            a thorn. Then this holy man put thereto diligent cure,
1200     V|          would commit to some wise man of the church to ordain
1201     V|        knew well that Jerome was a man that knew the languages
1202     V|          was done. But there was a man which had a mill within
1203     V|       Notwithstanding, that wicked man Ebroinus sent Guerin for
1204     V|           changed him into another man, so that he began to shine
1205     V|         Francis went unto a simple man, whom he took instead of
1206     V|            but by signs, and every man praised him as a saint.
1207     V|          him as a saint. This holy man Francis came thither and
1208     V|        said so to her husband, the man was suddenly changed and
1209     V|         his head the hat of a poor man which was there, and bare
1210     V|         God an alms to a poor sick man. Then the poor man was called
1211     V|            sick man. Then the poor man was called in and entered
1212     V|              When on a time a poor man passed tofore him, and the
1213     V|           tofore him, and the holy man was moved with inward compassion,
1214     V|           said to him: Though this man be poor, peradventure there
1215     V|            and give it to the poor man, and knowledge thyself culpable
1216     V|       moved in the city, this holy man saw within the burgh, on
1217     V|       followed perfectly this holy man Francis. And on a time as
1218     V|         And on a time as this holy man was in prayer, the devil
1219     V|            name, and when the holy man had answered him, he said:
1220     V|          mercy. And anon this holy man knew by the revelation the
1221     V|        shall lift up the most meek man unto the seat lost by pride.~
1222     V|           lost by pride.~This holy man S. Francis saw in a vision
1223     V|          much as he might, that no man should see them. And yet
1224     V|           be set here. There was a man named Rogier, and was in
1225     V|         May this be true that this man was so ennobled by such
1226     V|       realm of Castile there was a man devout to S. Francis which
1227     V|             and instead of another man he was taken by error and
1228     V|        hither and thither, and the man was bewailed like as he
1229     V|            friars, the wife of the man began to cry: Arise up,
1230     V|         his hand to show that some man should take away the sword
1231     V|      strong champion, and anon the man arose perfectly whole, and
1232     V|          head.~There was a secular man which saw S. Francis, the
1233     V|            good wine. And the holy man gat of our Lord that which
1234     V|       still anon.~And as this holy man S. Francis passed through
1235     V|           Lombardy, with an honest man, which demanded him, if
1236     V|           ate there came an untrue man which demanded alms for
1237     V|         and anon when this blessed man heard that blessed name,
1238     V|          the capon, and the cursed man kept it. And on the morn
1239     V|          on the morn when the holy man preached, he showed that
1240     V|          as it were fish, and that man was blamed of all the people,
1241     V|     demanded pardon; and when this man came again to his good thought,
1242     V|         into wine, of which a sick man anon tasted and received
1243     V|          have borrowed a cart of a man, and he answered in despite:
1244     V|        hold thee. There was a poor man which owed unto a certain
1245     V|           owed unto a certain rich man a quantity of money, and
1246     V|          his bonds and brought the man all safely to his own house.
1247     V|        slew him anon. ~There was a man that had lost his thigh
1248     V|        hard torment. Then the holy man appeared to him with a little
1249     V|        humility, for I am a sinful man. If thou desirest to be
1250     V|         the exequies for this holy man, and when they had taken
1251     V|         where she put herself as a man for to keep to God her vlrginity.~
1252     V|          marriage of a noble young man, and by the accord of one
1253     V|         clad her in the habit of a man, and fled from thence to
1254     V|            myself Pelagien. I am a man. I have not lived for to
1255     V|        that I have the virtue of a man, and have virtue of the
1256     V|         virgin without touching of man. And then they were penitent,
1257     V|            within a place where no man entereth, and there shall
1258     V|       entereth, and there shall no man see us but God, and if thou
1259     V|         from him. And when the old man heard that, he said to her:
1260     V|          said that all felicity of man was in only delight of the
1261     V|             And Paul said: Is he a man only, or spirit? And Denis
1262     V|          Denis said: He is God and man but he is unknown, because
1263     V|      adventure by that way a blind man tofore them, and anon Denis
1264     V|          If thou say to this blind man in the name of thy God:
1265     V|           same manner to the blind man, anon the blind man recovered
1266     V|          blind man, anon the blind man recovered his sight. And
1267     V|           and was a true christian man and was instructed and taught
1268     V|           might find any christian man, that he should constrain
1269     V|            in a vision unto a holy man that, the soul of him was
1270     V|        prayers. Then came to him a man which promised to him that
1271    VI|        trouble, for in his days no man durst trust other, ne open
1272    VI|      neighbour, for that time each man appeached other of treason,
1273    VI|            with him a seemly young man richly arrayed in clothing
1274    VI|      commonalty. For he dreaded no man except the two sons of the
1275    VI|           discreet, considering no man's person, but only the weight
1276    VI|         you for to deliver to each man his money again, but thereto
1277    VI|           chaste secretly, that no man knew it but God alone. There
1278    VI|         the pope.~There was a holy man, a recluse in the diocese
1279    VI|          king had pity on the poor man, and disdained not, but
1280    VI|             dread thee not, I am a man as thou art; hast thou any
1281    VI|           goods, or would take any man by force or strength out
1282    VI|       given in marriage to a noble man, and not long after she
1283    VI|       blind men. There was a blind man well known, which heard
1284    VI|         next day after, this blind man went in to the king's palace,
1285    VI|            and commanded the blind man to be brought to him. And
1286    VI|       washed the face of the blind man, his eyes were opened and
1287    VI|            the shadow, and a young man of that fellowship that
1288    VI|            hands to help this poor man, though I be unworthy, if
1289    VI|            healed that other blind man, and he brought this water
1290    VI|          before had healed a blind man with the same water, and
1291    VI|           devotion and prayed this man to wash their eyes therewith.
1292    VI|        shall see when they come to man's age that, one of them
1293    VI|          of procession, a fair old man came to the king and demanded
1294    VI|            and gave it to the poor man, whom the poor man thanked
1295    VI|            poor man, whom the poor man thanked and departed. And
1296    VI|          there came a fair ancient man with white hair for age.
1297    VI|            drew nigh. Then the old man asked them what they were,
1298    VI|            way also. Then this old man comforted them goodly, and
1299    VI|          on the morn this fair old man went with them, and brought
1300    VI|         two days in a trance, as a man that had been ravished,
1301    VI|          strength that passeth all man's reason, and that might
1302    VI|    polluted hands, and as an hired man and not as a very shepherd,
1303    VI|        three furlongs, and without man's hand shall turn again
1304    VI|          tree to the stock without man's help was when king Henry
1305    VI|        came into the realm, not by man's strength but by the very
1306    VI|           exposition displease any man, let him expound it better,
1307    VI|           there came to his tomb a man which had but one eye, leading
1308    VI| Westminster there was a fair young man which was blind, whom the
1309    VI|       Lanfranc, archbishop, that a man of greater conning might
1310    VI|           me, simple and unconning man, and me, for the presumption
1311    VI|    beguiled, for thou wert a frail man, but now thou art joined
1312    VI|          might not be taken out by man's hand. And anon he did
1313    VI|         Lanfranc went to this holy man Wulstan and said: Brother,
1314    VI|            there came a worshipful man to visit her, and counselled
1315    VI|         for after the philosopher, man engendereth man, and the
1316    VI|       philosopher, man engendereth man, and the sun. And thus Luke
1317    VI|           is to wit, the face of a man, the face of a lion, the
1318    VI|        face, so that the face of a man be tofore, and on the right
1319    VI|        Matthew is signified in the man, for he was singularly moved
1320    VI|      written four things. He was a man born of the virgin, he was
1321    VI|      manners. For by the face of a man it is showed that he was
1322    VI|           him by liberality, for a man is a beast reasonable, debonair,
1323    VI|            Lord had been a strange man, and he received him into
1324    VI|      things there be that ordain a man right well as touching himself,
1325    VI|          for good counsel maketh a man better and more perfect.
1326    VI|          to our Lord by penance, a man full of clearness in white
1327    VI|       white vestment appeared to a man that woke tn the church
1328    VI|           was son of a right noble man that was named Polimius.
1329    VI|           there was sent thither a man to deflower and corrupt
1330    VI|            marriage. And the young man had great desire and will
1331    VI|           virginity, and the young man should be baptized, and
1332    VI|        abide, but ordained an holy man to occupy in his place,
1333    VI|          appeared to a certain old man, commanding him to take
1334    VI|            in his house, which old man took a cousin of his, an
1335    VI|         say as Cananean. This holy man had in him obedience of
1336    VI|       deacon is chaste and an holy man, ne he never defouled his

1338    VI|       Eustace, so that the strange man had not to do with her ne
1339    VI|         him if he knew any strange man named Placidus, and had
1340    VI|          that other, how that this man resembleth much unto him
1341    VI|           Hereof saith Chrysostom: Man delighteth him in edification
1342    VI|        right precious thing that a man is made the member of divine
1343    VI|       saith to us: Thou, christian man, art a knight delicate if
1344    VI|            Of whom Moses, one only man, get pardon for six thousand
1345    VI|           by him. And after came a man clad with the skin of a
1346    VI|    following him, and after came a man in the habit of a bishop,
1347    VI|          world, he goeth surely. A man well living and so dieth,
1348    VI|          so dieth, goeth surely. A man doing penance at the last
1349    VI|  surmounteth all the pain that any man suffered ever in this world.
1350    VI|        bishop heard the voice of a man in the ice, and he conjured
1351    VI|   marvellous torment. And the dead man said: I am all in such pain.
1352    VI|          in to the bath he found a man whom he knew always ready
1353    VI|         and saith that there was a man of great holiness and virtue,
1354    VI|       thing so great and so holy a man made there. And he said
1355    VI|            rehearseth.~There was a man that always as he passed
1356    VI|        that Judas, the most strong man, made a collection and sent
1357    VI|            this knight saw there a man named Peter, which lay bound
1358    VI|           suffereth because if any man were delivered to him to
1359    VI|       world. It happed there was a man which was with others, laboured
1360    VI|        slew them all save this one man, which was saved in a crevice
1361    VI|            this woman in form of a man, and demanded her whither
1362    VI|             And after this another man digged in the same rock
1363    VI|       under this the voice of this man, which said to him: Smite
1364    VI|          dead, there came to him a man which gave to him bread,
1365    VI|   suffrages were done for a damned man, of whom were doubt that
1366    VI|           marvelled much wherefore man which was reasonable obeyed
1367    VI|         none evil suspicion of any man, but pardon me if I have
1368    VI|          the churchyard and hurt a man therein, and despoiled him
1369    VI|          or such one, and the dead man wagged his head, and answered
1370    VI|         for him, and then the dead man answered: Would God that
1371    VI|         for him, and then the dead man said: And I say to thee
1372    VI|            to dispose by some evil man, and should anon have disposed
1373    VI|        Martyr.~After that the holy man Beuno had do make many churches,
1374    VI|            a place of a worshipful man named Tenythe, the which
1375    VI|          the which this worshipful man, his wife, and his daughter
1376    VI|         set to school to this holy man Beuno, and he taught her
1377    VI|            whom there came a young man for to defoul her, who was
1378    VI|           named Alane, which young man burned in the concupiscence
1379    VI|        church. And when this young man had espied her, he followed
1380    VI|            sword drawn like a wood man, and when he had overtaken
1381    VI|          only. ~And when this holy man Beuno understood the death
1382    VI|          martyrdom.~And this young man that had thus slain her

1384    VI|          by the hands of this holy man Beuno. And he commanded
1385    VI|           life. And when this holy man should depart from her and
1386    VI|           should depart, this holy man said: It is the will of

1388    VI|          And at the last this holy man, being endowed with many
1389    VI|          tomb. There was a certain man which dwelled in the place
1390    VI|           it happed that this good man was taken of a tyrant, which
1391    VI|            the fire. If I set this man in irons Leonard shall anon
1392    VI|         this that he thought, this man which was enclosed therein
1393    VI|          bonds and put them in the man's hand, and brought him
1394    VI|           then he was accused of a man that had seen him, and was

1397    VI|          man all naked, to whom no man gave any alms. Then Martin
1398    VI|          that one half to the poor man, for he had nothing else
1399    VI|           he had given to the poor man, and said to the angels
1400    VI|           Of which thing this holy man was not enhanced in vain
1401    VI|            the merits of this holy man that this victory was had
1402    VI|         devil appeared to him in a man's likeness, and demanded
1403    VI|            go to the palace and no man should gainsay him. And
1404    VI|         things obeyed to this holy man, as well things not sensible
1405    VI|  revestiary he had no chair, ne no man never saw him in the church
1406    VI|      Martin for to drink, and each man weened that he would have
1407    VI|          not out of charity. Never man saw him angry, ne never
1408    VI|            saw him angry, ne never man saw him weep, ne laugh,
1409    VI|           devil reproved this holy man S. Martin because he received
1410    VI|          to the church, and a poor man followed him, and S. Martin
1411    VI|         should go clothe this poor man. And when he saw he tarried
1412    VI|            and gave it to the poor man, and commanded that he should
1413    VI|         might not go till the poor man were clothed, and meant
1414    VI|          he rought not of the poor man. And then he said to him:
1415    VI|            ye nothing for the poor man? Bring ye me then a vesture
1416    VI|            be clothed for the poor man. And then he being constrained
1417    VI|           to the feet of this holy man, and at his commandment
1418    VI|           not but that a christian man should die in hair and in
1419    VI|        lifted it, a right fair old man appeared to them and said:
1420    VI|             and then anon this old man vanished away. This translation
1421    VI|          the lame taught the blind man the way, and the blind bare
1422    VI|            the blind bare the lame man, and thus gat they much
1423    VI|           Christ instead of a poor man, and the vesture that the
1424    VI|          the vesture that the poor man had taken, the Lord of all
1425    VI|            This was a gift that no man may praise, of which he
1426    VI| unreasonable. And on a time a poor man came to Brice and demanded
1427    VI|          upward to heaven as a mad man or one from himself, that
1428    VI|            is Martin. And the poor man went and found S. Martin,
1429    VI|         thou saidst it to the poor man openly. I tell and say to
1430    VI|         the world as it were a new man sent into the world, showing
1431    VI|         humility, like as the wise man saith: Of so much that a
1432    VI|       power the devotion of such a man. For he knew well how much
1433    VI|           nigh that the voice of a man ne of a woman might not

1435    VI|            the pope is the highest man in earth under God, and
1436    VI|     debonairly: Sith that the holy man S. Francis, the servant
1437    VI|          in the city abode neither man ne woman. And all crying:
1438    VI|             Then answered the wise man, the bishop of Hostence,

1449    VI|           reigned there was a rich man, a paynim, which adored
1450    VI|        worshipped the idols, which man was named Dioscorus. This

1453    VI|            maid baptized of a holy man, and lived there a certain
1454    VI|           other, which was an evil man, showed and pointed her
1455    VI|         nones of December. A noble man called Valentine buried
1456    VI|        knights. He was a much just man unto all men, and also he

1467    VI|          and harboured be the same man of God. I have well marked
1468    VI|            said: We have found the man of God that we sought, and
1469    VI|    harboured him, and how the holy man had lived, and also how
1470    VI|          seventeen years as a poor man. To whom my servants have
1471    VI|          against it, and said: The man of God is found that the
