1 I| marvellous operation of the fire. As touching the signs,
2 I| thunders and tempests full of fire shall grow in the west,
3 I| shall spread out rays of fire, and then great quantity
4 I| tokens that he shall make the fire descend from heaven. The
5 I| descended in likeness of fire, in likewise shall Antichrist
6 I| evil spirit in likeness of fire. The third manner that he
7 I| shall be the right vehement fire, the which shall go tofore
8 I| And God shall send this fire for four causes. First for
9 I| the people; for then that fire shall be instead of the
10 I| shall be instead of the fire of purgatory to them that
11 I| body. That is to wit, the fire which is in the eyes, the
12 I| to the air, the summer to fire, harvest to the earth, and
13 I| attempered to us. In summer the fire of concupiscence and of
14 I| twain might be burnt in a fire. And on a time about midnight
15 I| thing on Easter-day, for fire descended from heaven that
16 I| west it is lighted of the fire that burneth in the Temple,
17 I| ascended in a chariot of fire unto a high region, from
18 I| and likeness of tongues of fire. And of this sending and
19 I| Fourthly, in likeness of fire. Fifthly, in likeness of
20 I| properties of the tongue and of fire he putteth in the hearts
21 I| saith: I am come to cast fire in the earth, but this is
22 I| After the stroke of the fire, descended a sweet sound
23 I| showed in the likeness of fire. Fifthly, in likeness of
24 I| as the Church saith, in fire. And also in the New Testament,
25 I| mount of Sion in likeness of fire. Like as the law was given
26 I| great sound in tongues of fire, the which tongues appeared
27 I| he was sent in tongues of fire. And here be three things
28 I| conjointly in the tongues of fire. Secondly, wherefore he
29 I| he was sent in tongues of fire more than in another element.
30 I| and appeared in tongues of fire, to the end that their words
31 I| the Holy Ghost, which is fire, spake in them, and t by
32 I| Rabanus, saying that the fire hath four virtues or natures.
33 I| burneth the hearts as the fire burneth the silver. Also
34 I| The Holy Ghost appeared in fire for all the hearts which
35 I| and voided the coldness of fire, and inflamed them with
36 I| Love is signified by the fire for three causes. The first
37 I| The first cause is for the fire is always moving, so is
38 I| The second is, for the fire among all the other elements
39 I| third cause is, for that the fire abasheth and meeketh the
40 I| of the names divine: The fire hath three virtues, for
41 I| that is inflamed of the fire of hell, and is of great
42 I| tongue was inflamed of the fire of hell, she had need that
43 I| saith S. James: It is the fire of the Holy Ghost, and because
44 I| disciples in tongues of fire to the end that they should
45 I| the law of the tongues of fire. The Holy Ghost also maketh
46 I| spiritually. And as the fire quencheth and goeth out
47 I| great effect that it made fire to descend from heaven,
48 I| The first thing is the fire of love perdurable, like
49 I| as the apostle saith, the fire of dilection shall be perdurable
50 I| anointed and have light of the fire, for they be not only to
51 I| destruction of the world by fire he knew, which afterward
52 I| And as some doctors say, fire came from heaven and lighted
53 I| of two judgments by the fire and water, that all things
54 I| and that other against the fire. Josephus saith that the
55 I| and Gomorrah sulphur and fire, and subverted the cities
56 I| and he bare in his hands fire and the sword. And as they
57 I| and he said: Lo! here is fire and wood, where is the sacrifice
58 I| appeared to him in flame of fire in the midst of a bush,
59 I| of a bush, and he saw the fire in the bush, and the bush
60 I| tofore, and thunder and fire that it destroyed all the
61 I| by night in a column of fire and was their leader and
62 I| by day, nor the pillar of fire by night tofore the people.
63 I| Lord descended on it in fire, and the smoke ascended
64 I| and I cast it into the fire, and thereof came out this
65 II| wives of David. and had set fire and burnt the town. And
66 II| Go ye, said he, and set fire in the barley that is therein,
67 II| Joab that Absalom had set fire on his corn. Then Joab came
68 II| said: Why hast thou set fire on my corn! And he said,
69 II| came another and said: The fire of God fell down from heaven
70 II| heart of the fish on the fire, and that shall put away
71 II| on a time his parents set fire on the house where he was
72 II| and sprinkled withal the fire, and anon the fire quenched.
73 II| withal the fire, and anon the fire quenched. And then his friends
74 II| they had cast it, a great fire caught it in the sea, and
75 II| about S. Lucy a right great fire, and made to be cast on
76 II| abode all still tofore the fire, and said: I have prayed
77 II| to Jesu Christ that this fire have no domination in me
78 II| accused Eugenia was burnt with fire of hell with all her party.
79 II| took and cast it into the fire and anon it vanished away.
80 II| burn continually in the fire of hell, and ever shall
81 II| ordained two furnaces of fire burning, and then I will
82 II| in these two furnaces of fire all quick. And S. Sebastian
83 II| Aspasius did do make a great fire among all the people and
84 II| whole without feeling the fire. The people weened that
85 II| had made her orison the fire lost all his heat, and quenched
86 II| brought into a torment of fire, and he blamed and reproved
87 II| when the blood ran into the fire and made wounds upon wounds,
88 II| they cast salt into the fire, that it should sparkle
89 II| tribulation, he overcame the fire, he overcame the water,
90 II| iron, with the flames of fire, and death which is last
91 II| trance he saw a pillar of fire, whose head reached heaven
92 II| accompanied, is a column of fire, now I have great marvel
93 II| come he saw a tongue of fire speaking in his mouth. Then
94 II| truly Basil is the pillar of fire, and verily the Holy Ghost
95 II| of his mouth a flame of fire, which touched my tongue
96 III| the water quencheth the fire, but for to do alms it cometh
97 III| him and bare him to the fire and did great labour to
98 III| is said as one suffering fire and burning, for he was
99 III| he had been tormented by fire, and by beating and prison,
100 III| the wax, the wick, and the fire, right so be three things
101 III| Lord Jesu Christ, and the fire of the candle signifieth
102 III| and praised. And by the fire is understood charity, of
103 III| saith: I am come to put fire in the earth, and whom I
104 III| for they be delivered to fire perdurable with them that
105 III| of iron burning as hot as fire on that one side, and that
106 III| without taking harm, and the fire was extinct and quenched.
107 III| tormented in the perpetual fire in hell. Then in great ire
108 III| martyrdom, there arose a great fire, and came from the mountain
109 III| held it abroad against the fire, and anon on the ninth day
110 III| of her feast, ceased the fire as soon as it came to the
111 III| kept the city from the said fire by the merits of S. Agatha.
112 III| kept from all perils of fire in this world, and when
113 III| to eschew the perpetual fire, and to come to the glory
114 III| bishopric, he saw a dove of fire that came from heaven to
115 III| was in, condemned to the fire of hell. Thus as they held
116 III| because there was a great fire all about his house. And
117 III| and sight of his notary, a fire in the manner of a shield
118 III| converted. And anon the fire descended from heaven and
119 III| beheaded towards his palace, fire fell down from heaven upon
120 III| s son that appointed the fire for to make the sacrifice,
121 III| out of the earth issued a fire and burnt and wasted them
122 III| Jesu Christ damn thee in fire perdurable. After this Judas
123 III| dwelled he did do set a fire, and they, being in their
124 III| said of ur, that is to say fire or light and banal, that
125 III| by honest conversation, fire by charity, and answer by
126 III| priests of the law that held fire for to make sacrifice. Then
127 III| vengeance that they burned with fire invisible, so that their
128 III| the street was taken with fire, and men counselled him
129 III| thence for peril of the fire, and then he put himself
130 III| put himself against the fire, and the flame burnt all
131 III| angry, and commanded to set fire and burn his sides, and
132 III| so shining and bright as fire, and because I might not
133 III| Vitus was cast in to a fire burning, but by the might
134 III| likeness of a pillar of fire, stretching from heaven
135 III| Holy Ghost, in water and fire of penance.~When S. John
136 III| their mouths and nostrils fire like sulphur, and cried
137 III| him, and showed him the fire of purgatory, and from thence
138 III| whole. Another time the fire was so great in the city
139 III| his bourdon against the fire and anon it was quenched.~
140 III| in her hand without any fire of this world, of which
141 III| as tapers inflamed with fire of heaven. Hereof heard
142 III| Lord by this lamp, for the fire and light burned continually,
143 IV| without grieving of any fire or flame or fume and without
144 IV| into bread; endure in the fire without hurting; and all
145 IV| see so great a flame of fire, and sang merrily. He slew
146 IV| and he threw it into the fire. It is said that all they
147 IV| destroy the figure thereof by fire. And when Nero heard that
148 IV| the figure of the world by fire, he commanded that all the
149 IV| christian men should be burnt by fire, and Paul to be beheaded,
150 IV| spirits, and his ministers fire burning. And all this we
151 IV| find in Paul, that like to fire and a spirit he hath run
152 IV| iron that is laid in the fire is made all fire, right
153 IV| in the fire is made all fire, right so Paul, embraced
154 IV| manner men. And like as fire put in straw or in tow wasteth
155 IV| always more burning than fire in the love to preach the
156 IV| gods, was cast into the fire, and her body broiled with
157 IV| frowning and angry visage like fire, like as all the house had
158 IV| upon a wheel, and put under fire and oil, and the flame issued
159 IV| it please thee Lord let fire descend from heaven and
160 IV| bound us with chains of fire and tormenteth us. And James
161 IV| found there a dragon casting fire at them, and ran on them.
162 IV| counsel of an old man, set fire in the corn of his tutor,
163 IV| were set about him, and fire put thereto, which fire
164 IV| fire put thereto, which fire burnt atwo his bonds, and
165 IV| cast him again into the fire, he was taken away from
166 IV| Nicæa was cast into a great fire, but she issued out without
167 IV| thereon, and after, to set fire under it, and cast therein
168 IV| seat of iron, and great fire put under, doubted nothing
169 IV| it toucheth it burneth as fire. To whom Martha, at the
170 IV| street for dread of the fire, but he would not be borne
171 IV| put himself against the fire, which burnt all about him,
172 IV| that he should die within fire days that he had seen the
173 IV| beateth us cruelly with fire. And the mariners were in
174 IV| him, in the furnace of the fire of faith, he was distrained,
175 IV| heretics assembled at the fire, and he showed to them that
176 IV| bade him to cast it in the fire, and if the schedule burned,
177 IV| the schedule cast in the fire, and when it had been in
178 IV| when it had been in the fire a while, it sprang out all
179 IV| should be cast into the fire. And they that burned not
180 IV| were thrown into a great fire burning, and anon the book
181 IV| burnt, but sprang out of the fire without hurting, and it
182 IV| cross, out of which the fire springeth against me, and
183 IV| me, and for dread of the fire I doubt for to go, give
184 IV| the body Iying upon the fire, which Hippolitus in the
185 IV| and who that is cast in a fire is delivered at once, but
186 IV| his torment, lay upon the fire. They defouled and trod
187 IV| defouled and trod upon the fire with their feet, and this
188 IV| he showed to us by the fire of faith that he overcame
189 IV| the embracements of the fire of hell, and by the love
190 IV| flames of the great brands of fire, and turned oft from that
191 IV| for to despise it by the fire. Fourthly, he was right
192 IV| them. The first was the fire of hell, the second material
193 IV| The quenching of the first fire, that is of hell, Maximin
194 IV| of burning to the worldly fire; for to burn his body which
195 IV| body which quenched the fire perdurable of hell, he went
196 IV| hell, he went through the fire earthly and material of
197 IV| the horrible flame of the fire perdurable of hell. The
198 IV| quenching of the second fire, he saith also, he travailed
199 IV| surmounted with flames, for the fire that burnt without forth
200 IV| the quenching of the third fire of carnal concupiscence,
201 IV| Laurence passed through the fire which he abhorred being
202 IV| quenching of the fourth fire, that is of avarice; of
203 IV| the quenching of the fifth fire, that is of the furious
204 IV| woodness of the persecutors was fire, when he said: The woodness
205 IV| griddle of iron upon the fire strongly burning, and that
206 IV| assuaged by coldness all the fire without forth, and surmounted
207 IV| with the embracing of more fire. And the first coldness
208 IV| coldness he quenched all the fire without forth, and he was
209 IV| not feel the torments of fire in his entrails, which within
210 IV| God, which embraced him as fire. Of the first fire saith
211 IV| him as fire. Of the first fire saith S. Ambrose: As much
212 IV| read in the gospel that the fire of the faith is the fire
213 IV| fire of the faith is the fire of the Saviour. The evangelist
214 IV| came into the earth to put fire therein, and with this fire
215 IV| fire therein, and with this fire was S. Laurence embraced,
216 IV| flames. And of the second fire he saith thus: The martyr
217 IV| withinforth. Of the third fire he saith thus: The right
218 IV| tormented of cruel torments, for fire took him so that he burnt
219 IV| and shall cast it into the fire and burn it. Thou therefore
220 IV| altar, and kept him from the fire without taking any harm.
221 IV| me, and put away all the fire from me. Then the christian
222 IV| hurting among the flames of fire, why should not he then
223 V| vexed and sick, and the fire of pestilence had infected,
224 V| castle was all burnt with fire. And that case was found
225 V| safe in the middle of the fire. And he suffered death about
226 V| is bound with chains of fire that he neither dare draw
227 V| am bounden with chains of fire by the angels of Jesu Christ,
228 V| our prince in chains of fire. And anon then they set
229 V| his eyes flaming as hot fire, and cast out sparkles of
230 V| and cast out sparkles of fire, and casting out of his
231 V| hands bound with chains of fire behind his back. And then
232 V| grievous because it received fire, the which mountain was
233 V| as it were a figure of fire fleeing away. Now then,
234 V| is he enchauffed of the fire of the divine love, wherefore
235 V| bench, and make a great fire thereunder, and cast oil
236 V| saints were thrown into the fire, Natalie would have with
237 V| with them sprung into the fire and be burnt, and suddenly
238 V| great rain and quenched the fire, so that the bodies of the
239 V| he did do burn a great fire for to prove his faith,
240 V| himself entered first into the fire and came out again without
241 V| would not enter into the fire, and was confused and put
242 V| high. And after this came a fire from heaven and burnt Melancia
243 V| should turn it, and the fire should spring out and all
244 V| artillour wept and put the fire under the wheel and would
245 V| saved from the furnace of fire, hard stones be converted
246 V| two dragons, which cast fire and sulphur by their mouths
247 V| of her with a right great fire, for to burn her and all
248 V| apostle appeared at the fire and put out the fire about
249 V| the fire and put out the fire about the house, and it
250 V| fleeth from the face of the fire. And Cyprian said then to
251 V| them to be tormented with fire inextinguishable. And Cyprian
252 V| gods. And anon the great fire issued from under the caldron
253 V| to be cast into a great fire, but anon the flame sprang
254 V| that was tormented in the fire and threw him on Forsey
255 V| that burn, that one is the fire of leasings, for in baptism
256 V| to the angel: Sir, this fire approacheth to me. And the
257 V| not burn thee, for this fire here examineth the people
258 V| convenable, right so burneth the fire by pain due. And at the
259 V| fast, he sat down by the fire and warmed him, and said
260 V| with a peaceable heart: The fire is always good. Nevertheless
261 V| Nevertheless they that made that fire, and all the men of their
262 V| and being thrown in the fire, ended his life miserably.~
263 V| Francis said: My brother fire, be thou to me in this hour
264 V| of the cross against the fire, and the fiery iron was
265 V| the hood of him into the fire, and when it had been a
266 V| had been a while in the fire, he commanded to take it
267 V| hood , was taken out of the fire without hurt.~He went on
268 V| people, and burnt them in the fire, saying: Come ye forth all
269 V| naked upon the coals of fire, and there he sang to our
270 V| was cast into a furnace of fire, and the fire anon quenched,
271 V| furnace of fire, and the fire anon quenched, and he had
272 VI| children from the flame of fire in the chimney and furnace
273 VI| commanded to make a great fire within the entry of the
274 VI| commanded to melt lead in the fire, and the holy martyrs to
275 VI| fell down himself in the fire, and there perished by the
276 VI| which had put to death by fire many martyrs of Christ,
277 VI| descended down to everlasting fire. These holy men seeing this,
278 VI| the emperor did do make a fire under an ox of brass or
279 VI| whole and not touched of the fire, ne as much as an hair of
280 VI| rose in his odour, and as fire in his heat. And hereof
281 VI| by his odour and as the fire is seen in his sparkles,
282 VI| Augustine saith: Though this fire be not perdurable yet it
283 VI| bishop's house were taken by fire. And when his servants came
284 VI| ice was molten, and the fire that they had supposed to
285 VI| withinforth all full of flame of fire. And the chancellor demanded
286 VI| light, but the flame of fire withinforth tormenteth and
287 VI| heaven, and be quit of the fire of purgatory and of hell
288 VI| depart, ne they feel no fire of purgatory, and this is
289 VI| anon be plunged into the fire of hell, for whom if their
290 VI| of chariots or carts, and fire burning. In like wise Leonard
291 VI| desert. And he eschewed the fire of covetise, and therefore
292 VI| than wax hath against the fire. If I set this man in irons
293 VI| of Mars by night and put fire in it under, and burnt all
294 VI| If thou burn my flesh by fire and consumest it by divers
295 VI| he should be burnt in a fire. In which fire he gave up
296 VI| burnt in a fire. In which fire he gave up his spirit, but
297 VI| against him till that the fire entered into his chamber,
298 VI| his chamber, and felt the fire behind him. Then he arose
299 VI| things insensible, as the fire and water.~For when he had
300 VI| he had commanded to set fire in a temple, the flame was
301 VI| set himself against the fire, and anon the flame returned
302 VI| in him in the likeness of fire, like as he descended in
303 VI| he was so environed with fire that his clothes burned.
304 VI| abode in the middle of the fire without any touching of
305 VI| destroyed and burnt with the fire.~He was much piteous against
306 VI| sang mass a great light of fire descended upon his head,
307 VI| whole and not corrupt of the fire, in like wise is my body
308 VI| they were like sparkles of fire and of ardent fervour, or
309 VI| this Jaquemin fell in the fire as he that could not keep
310 VI| descended from the mountain, a fire from heaven descended on
311 VI| drank, and her seemed that fire entered into her body. Then
312 VI| pound and raked it in the fire, and a certain time after
313 VI| after he took it out of the fire, and the just pound was
314 VI| wasted and burnt by the fire. And when she saw this she
315 VI| servant for to burn in the fire, but the fire might not
316 VI| burn in the fire, but the fire might not perish ne hurt
317 VI| servant took it out of the fire, and bound a stone thereto
318 VII| cast into the flames of fire they rendered their souls
319 VII| harm ne were hurt by the fire. And when the christian
320 VII| savedst from the chimney of fire, and Jesu Christ, I shall
321 VII| back, and cast them in the fire so bound, and burnt them.
322 VII| and from all perils of fire, from perils of thieves,
323 VII| protectress against all perils of fire, of lightning, of thundering,
324 VII| safe, and made thereon a fire for to dress their dinner,
325 VII| in the ship, and when the fire was right hot and the meat
326 VII| anon to ship and left the fire and meat behind them, and
327 VII| starting out all burning in fire, and stared full ghastly
328 VII| seemed all the sea to be on fire. But by the pleasure of
329 VII| island and the sea to be on fire. And with a sorrowful cry
330 VII| where they saw a hill all of fire, and a foul smoke and stench
331 VII| coming from thence, and the fire stood on each side of the
332 VII| in hell in full burning fire, with Pilate, Herod, and
333 VII| stone and an iron to smite fire with, in his two foreclaws
334 VII| went his way, and I smote fire, and made a fire of sticks,
335 VII| I smote fire, and made a fire of sticks, and did seethe
336 VII| burn without putting to fire of any man's hand, and thus
337 VII| the said church against fire, whereas on a time the church
338 VII| Another time when a great fire had burnt a great part of
339 VII| banner fighting against the fire, and so saved and kept his
340 VII| preserved from all perils of fire and water, and that he so
341 VII| The body of a woman is as fire that burneth, and because
342 VII| horrible dragon casting fire, and had his mouth open
343 VII| a beam in heaven full of fire burning, and was much great,
344 VII| bills and beaks, and set fire on houses. And this Henry
345 VII| which had his face clear as fire, and his vestments white
346 VII| to suffer this torment of fire shall give to me virtue
347 VII| suffer the flame of the fire.~Then the tyrants left the
348 VII| blessed our Lord, and the fire was burning and a great
349 VII| the tyrants saw that the fire might not consume the body
350 VII| blood that it quenched the fire. And when the people saw
351 VII| turned his belly towards the fire and beat his back with rods,
352 VII| caldron of oil upon the fire which oil was so hot that
353 VII| the deep bottom of hell in fire perdurable. S. Quiriacus
354 VII| anon he took a brand of fire, and drove the damsel out
355 VII| clothing were all about on fire and began to burn. Then
356 VII| nought to it, so that the fire took on their shirts towards
357 VII| happed by adventure that the fire took the house of the king,
358 VII| the city was esprised on a fire and flame, and they went
359 VII| God, to the end that this fire consume ne damage thee not
360 VII| depart, but lead me nigh the fire, and if God will that I
361 VII| him hand in hand unto the fire, and after commanded that
362 VII| cross, and then anon the fire quenched, and made after
363 VII| delivered the city from fire this night.~After this S.
364 VII| meat and drink, bed and fire for to warm them in winter.
365 VII| the peril of death. The fire taken in three divers places
366 VII| sickness which men call the fire of S. Anthony came to Poissy,
367 VII| after, by the will of God, fire descended from heaven upon
368 VII| of S John Baptist, v.66.~Fire obeys S. Martin, vi. 147.~
