Of the blessed death of S. Yues.
THE XXIV. CHAPTER.
THis holy Religious being complete in the perfectiō of all vertues, & exceeding deuout vnto IESVS CHRIST, very austere towar∣des himselfe, & extreme curteous and charitable towards others, as he was by diuine grace, of a singuler life and admirable in the worckes of charity, so was he honoured of God in this life by merueillous actions & miracles. For he expelled the euill spirittes out of humane bodyes, he cured all kind of diseases: Wherin was accomplished the prophesie of his mother, who confidently affirmed that, he being a child, it was reuealed vnto her that he should proue a sainct.
The day of his death was reuealed vnto him three weekes before he dyed. And thervpon he sayd to his people, that he was shortly by the diuine will to depart out of this life. And so the three weekes being ex∣pired being fortified with the sacraments of the Church, making a end answearable to the worth of his life, he yelded his soule vnto God the yeare, 1303. the 19. of May, & 50. of his age. His feast is celebrated the same month & day, and in some places the 27. day of October, by reason of his translation.
