1 I| THE GOLDEN LEGEND ~THE holy and blessed Doctor S. Jerome
2 I| find thee not idle. And the holy Doctor S. Austin saith in
3 I| viands for his belly. And the holy S. Bernard, aforesaid, saith
4 I| miracles, and the death of the holy saints, and also some other
5 I| that by the example of the holy saints they amend their
6 I| faith of whom all these holy saints have suffered death
7 I| this world is hallowed in Holy Church the time of four
8 I| all the world. Whereof the holy Church remembereth in the
9 I| saith that, like as the Holy Ghost descended in likeness
10 I| pray that we may in this holy time so receive him, that
11 I| years, after Eusebius the holy saint, Octavian the Emperor
12 I| that make and show it to be holy and solemn. The first is
13 I| that we may come into his holy bliss in heaven. Amen. ~
14 I| in flesh human, God the Holy Ghost in likeness of a dove.
15 I| Some say that it was the Holy Ghost which appeared to
16 I| tigury or little house, O holy seat of God. And S. Jerome
17 I| plunged in the water, but the Holy Ghost The descended upon
18 I| Father was heard and the Holy Ghost seen, and at the feast
19 I| the redemption. For the holy fathers some time ordained
20 I| the mass. ~And this doth holy Church in three manners.
21 I| manners. For some be in holy Church that be oppressed
22 I| to-break them. Wherefore holy Church crieth that he arise
23 I| fiftieth day after Paske the Holy Ghost was given. And therefore
24 I| Jesu Christ hallowed by his holy fasting. And because we
25 I| then, that our Lord by his holy Quadragesima descended to
26 I| day, he sent to them the Holy Ghost. The third reason
27 I| week, for then cometh the Holy Ghost, and therefore we
28 I| esprised in the love of the Holy Ghost. They be fasted also
29 I| And the seventh, how the holy fathers which were enclosed
30 I| of Whitsuntide, like as holy Church hath ordained. The
31 I| his ascension said to an holy man named Carpo, I am all
32 I| in the same epistle. This holy man, Carpo, told to S. Denis
33 I| and villained. And this holy man Carpo in beholding them
34 I| Thou shalt not suffer thine holy body to see corruption.
35 I| and how be it that the holy Evangelists speak nothing
36 I| how Jesu Christ drew the holy fathers out of hell, and
37 I| I was constrained by the Holy Ghost to say, Nunc viderunt
38 I| apostles is there, and the Holy See. And also for the reason
39 I| dispose himself to receive the Holy Ghost; for by fastings,
40 I| Secondly, because that holy Church fasteth and prayeth
41 I| complete and dispensed by right holy ordinance and to the profit
42 I| for the tardy creance of holy fathers to us necessary;
43 I| of the The Hierarchy of holy angels in the seventh chapter
44 I| poured out the wine of the Holy Ghost. The third question
45 I| sapience, by reason of the holy conversation. For the saints
46 I| conversation. For the saints by holy conversation and desire
47 I| capacity in receiving the Holy Ghost, it appeareth by this
48 I| etc. But if I shall go the Holy Ghost shall not come to
49 I| ye may not comprehend the Holy Ghost which is spiritual
50 I| beginneth of the Blessed Holy Feast of Pentecost or of
51 I| Feast of Pentecost or of the Holy Ghost. ~The Holy Ghost,
52 I| of the Holy Ghost. ~The Holy Ghost, as witnesseth S.
53 I| and he also himself, the Holy Ghost, gave and sent himself.
54 I| John, Johannis xiv.: The Holy Ghost which is said paraclitus,
55 I| these three manners the Holy Ghost may be said to be
56 I| profitable, and God the Holy Ghost inflame us. And because
57 I| us. And because that the Holy Ghost is God, therefore
58 I| Ambrose in the book of the Holy Ghost sayeth thus: The glory
59 I| our redemption, and the Holy Ghost in sign of our adoption.
60 I| final reward. Semblably the Holy Ghost gave himself all to
61 I| the apostle saith: By the Holy Ghost is given the word
62 I| particular is given by the same Holy Ghost. And hereof saith
63 I| saith S. Leo the Pope: The Holy Ghost is the inspirer of
64 I| that is to wit, that the Holy Ghost is sent in two manners,
65 I| Spiritus ubi vult spirat. The Holy Ghost where he will he inspireth
66 I| in five signs visible the Holy Ghost is sent and showed.
67 I| baptized, Luke iii.: The Holy Ghost descended in bodily
68 I| Trinity was showed. The Holy Ghost was showed at the
69 I| them and said: Take ye the Holy Ghost in you; of whom ye
70 I| wall of stone. And thus the Holy Ghost, them that he replenisheth,
71 I| Paul, ad Romanos viii.: The Holy Ghost ceaseth not to pray
72 I| be without gall, and the Holy Ghost maketh them such where
73 I| and the earth. Thus the Holy Ghost, them that he replenisheth
74 I| the prophet Ezechiel: The Holy Ghost hath lift me into
75 I| superveniet in te, etc.: The Holy Ghost shall come in thee,
76 I| shall cool thee. And the Holy Ghost is called water because
77 I| the Evangelist: From the Holy Ghost the floods of living
78 I| that same saith he of the Holy Ghost, which the apostles
79 I| is that David saith: The Holy Ghost shall blow and make
80 I| to breathe with. Thus the Holy Ghost is light to be shed
81 I| etc. At the coming of the Holy Ghost he made moving as
82 I| devotion. For the grace of the Holy Ghost wrought not in his
83 I| name of dew whereof singeth holy Church: Et sui roris aspersione
84 I| should we understand of the Holy Ghost, after this that David
85 I| and be renewed, for the Holy Ghost is he that giveth
86 I| to us knowledge that the Holy Ghost came, and it is the
87 I| after Easter, descended the Holy Ghost on the mount of Sion
88 I| the mount of Sinai, so the Holy Ghost in the solier where
89 I| this appeareth that the Holy Ghost is the perfection
90 I| perdurable remuneration is in the Holy Ghost, whereof the gloss
91 I| his disciples signify the holy church, also the fiftieth
92 I| fiftieth day on which the Holy Ghost was given, expresseth
93 I| perdurable. Thirdly, of the Holy Ghost is the remission of
94 I| things pardoned, and by the Holy Ghost the sins be pardoned.
95 I| whereof saith S. Paul: The Holy Ghost hath given witness
96 I| free to God, for where the Holy Ghost is, there is franchise
97 I| marvels did they by the Holy Ghost, nevertheless it is
98 I| that whosoever have the Holy Ghost do miracles. For S.
99 I| miracles maketh not a man holy, but show him holy, nor
100 I| a man holy, but show him holy, nor also every man that
101 I| doth miracles hath not the Holy Ghost. For evil people avaunt
102 I| Secondly, they had the Holy Ghost when he breathed on
103 I| them saying: Take ye the Holy Ghost in to you, to whom
104 I| releaseth part. Thirdly, the Holy Ghost was given to them
105 I| torment by the virtue of the Holy Ghost, which all overcometh.
106 I| Such is the grace of the Holy Ghost that if he find heaviness
107 I| Leo the Pope saith: The Holy Ghost was hoped of the apostles,
108 I| after they had received the Holy Ghost they began to speak
109 I| they should know that the Holy Ghost, which is fire, spake
110 I| For the third, he is said Holy Ghost having all virtue,
111 I| lighteth. In likewise the Holy Ghost burneth the sins,
112 I| heart, the which thing the Holy Ghost maketh when He espriseth
113 I| hereof saith S. Gregory: The Holy Ghost appeared in fire for
114 I| sapience and send to us thine Holy Spirit from above, that
115 I| moving, so is it of the Holy Ghost; for them that he
116 I| in his quality. Thus the Holy Ghost, whom he replenisheth,
117 I| three things maketh the Holy Ghost in them that he replenisheth.
118 I| hell, she had need that the Holy Ghost should come to inflame
119 I| James: It is the fire of the Holy Ghost, and because it is
120 I| therefore he had need of the Holy Ghost that should govern
121 I| As saith S. Bernard: The Holy Ghost descended upon the
122 I| the tongues of fire. The Holy Ghost also maketh them to
123 I| all replenished with the Holy Ghost and began to speak
124 I| tongues in such wise as the Holy Ghost administered to them.
125 I| whereof saith Isaiah: The Holy Ghost is descended upon
126 I| saith S. John: Take ye the Holy Ghost, by whom ye shall
127 I| people for to govern. ~The Holy Ghost giveth also adornment
128 I| saith the Scripture: The Holy Ghost hath adorned the heavens,
129 I| disposed to receive the Holy Ghost, And that for seven
130 I| together; in likewise the Holy Ghost giveth not spiritual
131 I| brands be taken away, so the Holy Ghost goeth away when the
132 I| of the apostles that the Holy Ghost found them all of
133 I| in prayer then came the Holy Ghost upon them; which prayer
134 I| necessary to receive the Holy Ghost. Like as the wise
135 I| have prayed God and the Holy Ghost is come in me. Whereof
136 I| send to you in my stead the Holy Ghost that shall comfort
137 I| they were sitting when the Holy Ghost came. And hereof saith
138 I| the valleys, that is the Holy Ghost which is the fountain
139 I| necessary to receive the Holy Ghost, our Lord showed when
140 I| after said: Take ye the Holy Ghost. Seventhly, they were
141 I| understand that they received the Holy Ghost in an high place,
142 I| Who that now desireth the Holy Ghost in his heart, let
143 I| Whereof saith S. Gregory: The Holy Ghost is said comforter
144 I| giveth life. Also he saith Holy, because he sanctifieth
145 I| David: The grace of the Holy Ghost which is a flood pure
146 I| the city of God, that is holy church, and by this flood
147 I| name the Father sent the Holy Ghost to show that he came
148 I| Ille vos docebit omnia. The Holy Ghost, when he shall come,
149 I| the apostles praying, the Holy Ghost came. And Luke iii.,
150 I| Luke iii., Jesu praying the Holy Ghost descended. Secondly,
151 I| Peter was preaching, the Holy Ghost descended upon them.
152 I| them. Thirdly, he came by holy and busy operation, that
153 I| and anon they received the Holy Ghost. And this imposition
154 I| which absolution give us the Holy Ghost. Amen ~
155 I| followeth the Feast of the Holy Sacrament. ~The great largesse
156 I| admiration than is this Holy Sacrament in which the bread

158 I| all good virtues. He is in holy church offered for the living
159 I| it. The sweetness of this holy sacrament may none express.
160 I| then he instituted this holy sacrament like a memory
161 I| which passion our mother, holy church, is occupied all
162 I| affection that he had to this holy sacrament, moved of great
163 I| and remembrance of this holy sacrament the first Thursday
164 I| throughout all the year this holy sacrament to our salvation,
165 I| may do our devoir to this holy institution specially in
166 I| specially in the time when the Holy Ghost enseigned and teached

168 I| after the sending of the Holy Ghost. And to the end that
169 I| And to the end that the holy institution of this amorous
170 I| diurnal and nocturnal of this holy solemnity, to the end that
171 I| words of God work? For this holy sacrament here that thou
172 I| remained a virgin. And this holy sacrament that we now consecrate,
173 I| the people. But when this holy sacrament is consecrate

180 I| oughtest to know that this holy water is made of four things,
181 I| ordure it is washed with holy water, so that it be clean
182 I| is the church washed with holy water. Fourthly, the A B
183 I| saith: The thought of an holy man should be confused in
184 I| the Father to the Son and Holy Ghost, or else as it were
185 I| day he sanctified and made holy. God had planted in the
186 I| church the history of the holy patriarch Abraham which
187 I| that thou standest on is holy ground. And said also: I
188 I| reign of priesthood and holy people. These be the words
189 I| that thou hallow and keep holy thy Sabbath day or Sunday.

191 I| straitly kept in the old law, holy church hath established
192 I| stablished to be hallowed in holy church, they sin deadly,
193 I| commandment of God aforesaid and holy church, but if it be for
194 I| for some necessity that holy church admitteth and granteth.
195 I| committed on the Sunday and holy days and feasts than in
196 I| mind to keep and hallow the holy day, they that so do sin
197 I| or do by the counsel of holy church. For who retaineth
198 I| him do by the counsel of holy church, and whoso doth not
199 II| kings, which is read in holy church from the first Sunday
200 II| fathers. This David was an holy man and made the holy psalter,
201 II| an holy man and made the holy psalter, which is an holy
202 II| holy psalter, which is an holy book and is contained therein
203 II| patience, like as it was of holy Job. For from his infancy
204 II| so, for we be the sons of holy men, and we abide that life
205 II| of the high God. And the holy angel of God, Raphael, was
206 II| admitted in copulation of holy patriarchs. The third night
207 II| The angel of God that is holy be in your journey, and
208 II| What may we give to this holy man that cometh with thee?
209 II| abode in good life and in holy conversation, and in such
210 II| iron but with praying of holy prayers. In like wise shall
211 II| beasts, and to take such holy things as be forbidden in
212 II| of AEgeas, and said: The holy man and debonair ought not
213 II| of no power. And when the holy S. Andrew saw that the world
214 II| was a bishop that led an holy and religious life, and
215 II| the praising of your right holy life, I am fled unto you
216 II| God, very confession, and holy thought, make a man clean.
217 II| Patras, was born of rich and holy kin, and his father was
218 II| used and haunted gladly holy church; and all that he
219 II| that he might understand of holy scripture he executed it
220 II| sustained. And when the holy man Nicholas knew hereof
221 II| little while after this holy servant of God threw in
222 II| kissed his feet, but the holy man would not, but required
223 II| victual failed. And then this holy man heard say that certain
224 II| Emperor in Alexandria. And the holy man said to them: Do this
225 II| servant Nicholas. Then this holy man distributed the wheat
226 II| And to the time of this holy man, many of them had some
227 II| in the sea towards this holy saint, and areasoned them
228 II| I would fain go to this holy man, but I may not, wherefore
229 II| Then they came to this holy man and said to him: Verily
230 II| and saluted him: and this holy man having this salutation
231 II| speak of the name of the holy saint, they held up their
232 II| you by the prayer of this holy man, and worship ye him;
233 II| said princes went unto the holy man, and fell down on their
234 II| should depart, and began this holy psalm: In te domine speravi,
235 II| feet; and unto this day holy oil issueth out of his body,
236 II| succeeded a man of good and holy life, which by envy was
237 II| departed the goods, the holy saint, like as he had been
238 II| called the world winter in holy scripture; for its evils
239 II| And therefore saith the Holy Ghost to the soul that is
240 II| Pray for us for ye be an holy woman, ye be a daughter
241 II| by the sacraments of the holy church, like as by baptism
242 II| so much enlumined by the Holy Ghost which descended in
243 II| of sin. And therefore the holy church doth her more reverence
244 II| common to the knowledge of holy church by some miracles,
245 II| estates and dignities of holy church into better reformation
246 II| take for the service in holy church. And the angel answered:
247 II| of light. ~S. Lucy, the holy virgin, was born in Sicily,
248 II| princes and judges, but the Holy Ghost speaketh in you. Paschasius
249 II| said: And therefore the Holy Ghost is in thee? She said:
250 II| that live chastely, and the Holy Ghost dwelleth in them.
251 II| thy chastity, and then the Holy Ghost shall depart from
252 II| her to the bordel, but the Holy Ghost made her so pesant
253 II| announce and show to you that holy church shall have peace,
254 II| emperor, which was enemy to holy church is this day put out
255 II| understand it. Then the holy man set him to prayer, and
256 II| Let us pray then to the holy S. Nicasius and to S. Eutropia
257 II| faith. Pray we then to this holy apostle, S. Thomas, that
258 II| in which abbey she Ied so holy a life that at the last
259 II| faith. And he was after an holy bishop, and at the hour
260 II| that be replenished of the Holy Ghost and of wisdom, what
261 II| heaven. In the first, the Holy Ghost administered his words,
262 II| resist his wisdom, for the Holy Ghost spake in him: and
263 II| them: Ye contrary alway the Holy Ghost by your hard heads,
264 II| the life and the death of holy fathers. ~S. John the apostle
265 II| by the ordinance of the Holy Ghost, confirmed in the
266 II| contained the secrets of holy church and of the world
267 II| affiance. And hereof saith the Holy Ghost by the prophet David:
268 II| John knew anon, by the Holy Ghost, what he had said,
269 II| Amen. ~There was a king, a holy confessor and virgin, named
270 II| and it happed that this holy king was at the hallowing
271 II| honour of God and of this holy apostle; and it was that
272 II| England for to be in the Holy Land, and S. John appeared
273 II| slept, and this was in the Holy Land, and when they awoke
274 II| speed, and came to this holy king S. Edward on Christmas
275 II| and thanked God and the holy saint that he had warning
276 II| of the life and death of holy saints and fathers, saith
277 II| see equity of good works. ~Holy church maketh feast of the
278 II| went on pilgrimage into the Holy Land, and had a servant
279 II| franchise and liberties of holy church, S. Thomas would
280 II| franchise and liberties of holy church. Then the king rehearsed
281 II| longeth to the correction of holy church, and other divers
282 II| Thomas spake for the part of holy church, and said: All old
283 II| and not against our mother holy church, I grant with good
284 II| king, have pity on us of holy church, your bedemen, and
285 II| prayed our Lord devoutly for holy church, and to give him
286 II| trespass this trouble cometh to holy church, I purpose, good
287 II| better disposed towards holy church. And then said the
288 II| hurt not the liberties of holy church, for them will I
289 II| the church to be against holy church and me, and ye know
290 II| consent to lose the right of holy church. Then said the king,
291 II| And so after when this holy S. Thomas came, he received
292 II| against the liberties of holy church, and what wrongs
293 II| defended the liberties of holy church, and anon wrote out
294 II| suffer death for the right of holy church, and when it should
295 II| were against the right of holy church. And that same day
296 II| them to the correction of holy church, for it was done
297 II| for it was done by our holy father the pope and not
298 II| pavement. And thus this holy and blessed Archbishop S.
299 II| church for the right of all holy church. And when he was
300 II| and anon after took this holy body, and unclothed him,
301 II| martyrdom for the right of holy church, and commanded a
302 II| show such miracles for his holy martyr, at whose tomb by
303 II| merits and prayers of this holy martyr our blessed Lord
304 II| pleased God to show for this holy saint it should contain
305 II| speaker, whole of body, holy in work, good in counsel,
306 II| said unto him: O thou most holy emperor, sith the time that
307 II| hundred and fifty-six. This holy man, S. Paul, saw men for
308 II| among all other he said: O holy soul, thy body showeth in
309 II| solemn feasts. Thus this holy man S. Paul died in the
310 II| Remigius. ~Remigius, an holy doctor, and confessor glorious
311 II| Lord, and foreseen of a holy hermit. When the persecution
312 II| there was a man recluse, holy and virtuous, which had
313 II| the great renown of his holy life, when he had been twenty-two
314 II| He profited so much in holy life and sciences that he
315 II| And when it was day this holy man S. Savin summoned the
316 II| him that vexed me. This holy abbot S. Macarius saw passing
317 II| sped, for they were all so holy and blessed that they recked
318 II| devil said: For they all holy, and that worst is, there

326 II| sharply than tofore, and an holy man named Fortunatus by
327 II| Then let us pray to this holy martyr S. Sebastian that
328 II| not yet christened, but an holy virgin, she came also to

330 II| S. Austin saith of this holy blessed martyr, S. Vincent,
331 II| hermit, named Effrem how much holy he was. On a time as the
332 II| of fire, and verily the Holy Ghost speaketh in his mouth.
333 II| christian men be put out of holy church? And the emperor

336 II| was worthy to receive the holy sacrament and after, he
337 II| S. Basil and said: Thou holy saint of God, have mercy
338 II| said to her: Go unto the holy man that is named Effrem,
339 II| And when she came to the holy man Effrem, and had told
340 II| and had him go into the holy city, and buy some necessary
341 II| whereas Peter was for to visit holy places, whom the master
342 II| talked idle tales, and this holy patriarch apperceived them
343 II| into their sepulture. This holy man S. John flourished in
344 III| witness of God and of his holy angels, and also of the
345 III| among whom were there the holy man Paulinus, the patriarch
346 III| far that she came into the holy land of Jerusalem. O how
347 III| Jesu Christ and the other holy places, and how all weeping
348 III| is said tofore, all the holy places and the monks of
349 III| ancient fathers and many holy men, and her seemed that
350 III| had always in her mind the holy Scriptures against the deceptions

354 III| keep, whom she reputed a holy man, but she said not to
355 III| Thus end the Lives of four holy saints every each named
356 III| into the company of these holy souls.~And also that S.
357 III| which by revelation of the Holy Ghost came into the temple
358 III| for to offer him, and the Holy Ghost had showed to him,
359 III| anon he knew him by the Holy Ghost to be very God and
360 III| man, by the virtue of the Holy Ghost, conceived the Son
361 III| much preciously, like an holy relic, and all they that
362 III| Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen.~
363 III| S. Blase was so sweet, holy and humble in manners, that
364 III| which is as much to say as holy, and theos, that is God,
365 III| three things make a man holy, which three were perfectly

367 III| Catania, leading a pure and holy life. Quintianus the provost
368 III| daughters entreated the holy virgin to consent to the
369 III| anon the ground where the holy virgin was rolled on, began
370 III| which is as much to say: The holy saint Agatha had always
371 III| saint Agatha had always holy thought and pure, and gave
372 III| our Lord, and finished in holy virtues his life, and departed
373 III| of our gods and of their holy life? And S. Valentine answered:
374 III| good persons that lead an holy life, and when we see them
375 III| Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, for I have overcome

384 III| were they twelve. But the holy S. Denis saith that the
385 III| destroyed all Rome, and hurt all holy church in this that thou
386 III| Gregory was; and a recluse, a holy man saw that by that pillar
387 III| and after the ordinance of holy church he was ordained and
388 III| christian faith by three holy men and good clerks that
389 III| and said to S. Gregory: Holy father, there be no more
