Of the conuersion of Brother Giles to the Religion of the Frere Minors.

THE FIRST CHAPTER.

ALBEIT to read or heare the liues of all or any sainctes, exceedingly dispose the spirittes to the contempt of temporall pleasures and induce them to purchase true and eternall richesse: yet it cannot be denyed but that the life of some one more then an other doth cause these effectes, as I hope this en∣suyng shall proue of the glorious Brother Giles of Assisium, who was the third that followed S. Fran∣cis: whose life being of singuler note, it is requisite it should be descri∣bed more att lardge. The time employed in reading therof shall not be wasted: for the soules therby shalbe enriched with holy doctrines, with diuine examples and documents. But I omitte to recount his conuer∣sion, it being already handled in the ninth chapter of the first booke and first volume of this present part.
