In this xiii. yere of kynge Hen¦ry / vppon Trynyte sondaye, or after an other authour vpon whyt sondaye, whyle the byshoppe of Lon¦don was at the hygh masse in saynte Paulys chyrch of Lōdon, fell sodeyn¦ly suche thyckenesse of darkenesse of cloudes, and therwyth suche stenche and tempeste of thunder and lyghte∣nynge, that the people there assem∣blyd voyded the chyrche / and the vy∣caryes and chanons forsoke theyr deskys, that the byshoppe remayned in great fere alone / excepte a fewe of his menyall seruauntys and suche as attendyd vpon hym at the aulter.
Also in thys yere the fame of that blessyd woman Elyzabeth doughter of the kynge of Hungarye beganne to spredde. The whyche before and after the deth of her husbande Lan∣graue duke of Thorynge in Al∣mayne, shamyd not for Crystes sake to weshe the sorys and bylys of la∣zars and of other poore men, be∣syde other manyfolde dedes of cha∣ryte. By vertue of whyche blessyd and vertuouse lyfe / she by her lyfe thoroughe the power of god shewed many and dyuerse myracles. Among the whyche by her prayer .xvi. men were from deth to lyfe arreryd / and a man borne blynde, to syght resto∣ryd. wherfore by Gregorye the .ix. of that name and pope of Rome / she was amonge the college of the bles∣sed nomber of sayntes ascrybyd and alowed / and commaunded her feast to be halowed the .xiii. kalendas of December.
