purgatorye is the Masse For when any soule appeareth to any mā to haue any helpe he desireth masses prayeth to haue masses songen for him Right as meate and drinke comforteth a mā when he is feble so the sacrament of y e altare cōforteth y e soules y e masses bene done for It is written in Legenda aurea how a Byshop suspended a prieste bycause he coulde saye none other masse but of Requiem whiche he song euery day deuoutly after hys cōning Then on a day as the byshop went towards mattens it semed to hym y e dead bodies rose came about hym and sayd Thou haste sayd no masse for vs. And moreouer thou haste taken our priest awaye frō vs. Loke y t thys be amended or els God will in shorte tyme take vengeance on thee for our sake Then was y e byshop greatly afeard and anon he ●ad the priest syng masse of Requiem as he dyd tofore And so he dyd as ofte as he myghte Also we fynde y e fyshers set their nets in haruest and they tooke vp a great pece of Ise and y t was the coldeste Ise that euer they felte and it woulde not melte for the Sunne And so brought they y e Ise to y e Byshop For he had a great brennyng heate in his foote and it was the coldest y t euer he felte Then spake there a voyce to hym oute of the Ise and sayd I am a soule y e suffereth my penaunce here in thys Ise. For I haue no frendes y t will doe masses for me I shall be deliuered of my penance and y u shalt be whole of thy sickenesse if thou wilt say masse for me And he sayd he woulde sing for him and bad tell hym hys name And euer while he was at masse he layd the Ise vnder his foote and euer as he sayd masse the Ise melted away And so within a while y t Ise was molten and y e soule was deliuered frō pain and y e bishop was whole of hys sicknesse Then the soule appeared to him w t much ioy sayd With y e masses singing I am brought oute of payne into euerlasting blesse The like fables many diuerse are tolde of Gregorius Magnus of Petrus Cluniacensis of Iacobus de Voragine c.
