How Priour Robert, the Au∣thor of this historie, did him∣selfe take vp the holy body of S. VVenefride, and car∣ry it towards Shrewsbury; How also in the way, he wrought a miracle by some of the earth, found in the Holy head of that Blessed Martyr.
PRior Robert hauing had a generall leaue from the Pastour of the Church and his parishioners to take
vp the Saintes body, went downe without a guide in∣to her Tōbe or Sepulcher, and by an interiour light, communicated then diui¦nely vnto him, knowing where it lay, caused the Tombestone to be remo∣ued, and labourers to digge towards the body; which when they had found, the Prior causing them to goe forth out of the Vault, he only with some Priests and Religious persons, stayed behind, singing psalmes of ioy deuoutely togeather, & 〈2 pages missing〉〈2 pages missing〉
into the sicke mans sto∣mack, but he fell soundly a∣sleepe, and when he awa∣ked, found himselfe of his daungerous and painefull infirmity perfectly reco∣uered.
By which most euident Miracle, the credit of those sacred reliques, to the great ioy of the Priour himselfe and his companions, was diuinely confirmed, and the deuotion of all present towards them increased. Others also there present did learne from thence,
what due veneration & re∣uerence was to be yielded afterwards vnto them.
