A boke newly translated out of Latyn in to Englisshe, called The folowing of Christe with the Golden epistel of saynt Barnard.

gette this fredome of spirite that I speke of praye for it / study for it / and alwaye de∣sire it in thy herte that is to say that thou mayste clerely be spoyled / and byratre of all propertye and of thyne owne wyll / and that thou being naked of al worldly thynges mayste folowe me that honge∣ked for the vpon the crosse / and that thou mayste dye to thy selfe and to al worldly thynges also / as in thy loue and blessedly to lyue to me. Thā if thou do thus all va¦nyues and all vayne fantasies / and all su¦perfluous cures of the worlde and of the fleshe shall fayle and fade / and goo awaye Than also immoderate drede and inordy¦nate loue shall dye in the / and thou shalte blessedly lyue in me and I in the. Amen.
