THE CII. CHAPTER.
* 1.1 SAinct Francis being in the Couent of Sainct Vrbin, the Angel of God appeared vnto him, who reuealed vnto him the singuler priuiledges and graces which God had graunted to them that obserued his rule, and should die in his Order. The first priuiledge is, that if their intention be good, they shall in althinges be gouerned by the holie Ghost. The second, that in this desert of their pilgrimage, they shalbe particulerly defended in their temptations from the snares of their ennemies and frō the pitt of mortall sinnes. The third that they shalbe so purged here, that the paines of Purgatory shalbe no stoppe

to their speedy passadge to the glory which God hath prepared them. The fourth, that they who shall follow their rule with fidelity and fer∣uour, shall meritt to heare and obtaine that which was promised to the Apostles of God, and afterward enioyed by them, when he said: yee that haue left althinges to serue me, shall sitt on seates, and shall* 1.2 iudge others. The fift, that God shall giue them increase of the goo∣des of this life and of grace, who shall haue particuler deuotion to the Order and to the Religious therof in releuing them, and shall after∣wardes if they perseuer, make them heires of his glorie. The sixt is that they on the contrary, who shall persecute the Order, and not re∣pent, their life shalbe short, or if they liue, it shalbe in afflictions and maledictions of God, and after their death shalbe damned. The sea∣uenth, that this rule shall endure euen to the end of the world, and that temporall prouision shall neuer faile the Professors therof, that likewi∣se therin shalbe alwayes Religious of good and pious life, and zealous of the honour of God and Religion.
