An other Religious had a great desire to conuerse with him, but he abstayned fearing to offend him by knowing his great imperfe∣ctions: doubting withall, that offending the purity of his soule, he should also vtterlie loose his fauour. These thoughtes being entierly reuealed vnto S. Francis, he one day called him to him, & said: Brother, I know you desire to conuerse with me, speake therfore, and say freely what you will, and come to me when you desire: by this* 1.2 meane the Religious was so secured, as he remayned more affe∣cted vnto him.

God knoweth the rest.
