thing that is good as to my sight and the goodness that all thing hath it is he And all this our Lord shewed in the first sight And gave me space and time to behold it and the Bodily sight stinted and the Ghostly sight dwelleth in my understanding And I abode with reverent dread joying in that I saw and desiring as I durst to see more if it were his will or longer time the same sight In all this I was much stirred in Charity to mine even Christian that they might all see and know the same that I saw for I would that it were comfort to them for all this sight was shewed in general Then said I to them that were with me It is this Day Dooms-day with me And this I said for I went to have died for that day that Man or Woman dieth is he deemed particularly as he shall be without end as to my understanding This I said for I would they should love God the better for to make them to have mind that this Life is short as they might see in example for in all this time I weened to have dyed and that was marvaile to me and wonder in party for methought this vision was shewed for them that should live All that I say of me I mean in person of all my even Christian for I am learned in the Ghostly shewing of our Lord God that he meaneth so And therefore I pray you all for God's sake and counsel you for your own profit that you leave the beholding of a Wretch that it was shewed to and mightily wisely and meekly behold in God that of his courtesie love and endless Goodness would shew it generally in Comfort of us all for it is Gods will that ye take it with a great joy and liking as Jesu Christ hath shewed it to you The ix Chapter FOr the shewing I am not good but if I love God the better and in asmuch as ye love God the better it is more to you than to me I say not this to them that be wise for they | i e. know wit it well but I say it to you that be simple for ease and comfort for we be all one in Love for verily it was not shewed to me for that God loveth me better than the least Soul that is in Grace for I am sure there be many that never hath shewing ne sight but of the common teaching of Holy Church that love God better than I for if I look singularly to my self I am right nought but in general I am I hope in | i e. unity one-head of Charity with all my even Christian for in this one head standeth the life of all mankind that shall be saved for God is all that is good as to my sight And God hath made all that is made and God loveth all that he hath made and he that generally loveth all his even Christen for God he loveth all that is For in mankind that shall be saved is comprehended all that is to say all that is made and the Maker of all for in Man is God and in God is all and he that loveth thus he loveth all And I hope by the Grace of God he that beholdeth it thus shall be truly taught and mightily comforted if him needeth comfort I speak of them that shall be saved for in this time God shewed me none other But in all thing I believe as Holy Church Preacheth and Teacheth for the Faith of Holy Church which I had before hand understanding and as I hope by the Grace of God will fully keep it in use and custome stood continually in my sight willing and meaning never to receive any thing that might be contrary thereto And with this intent and with this meaning I beheld the shewing with all my diligence for in all this blessed shewing I beheld it as in Gods meaning All this was shewed by three parts that is to say by bodily sight and by words formed in my understanding and by Ghostly sight but the Ghostly sight I cannot ne may shew it as openly ne as fully as I would but I trust in our Lord God Almighty that he shall of his Goodness and for your Love make you to take it more Ghostly and more sweetly than I can or may tell it The Second Revelation The x. Chapter ANd after this I saw with bodily sight in the face of the Crucifix that hung before me In the which I beheld continually a part of his Passion despite spitting sulloing and buffeting and many languring Pains more than I can tell and often changing of Colour and one time I saw how half the face beginning at the Ear over | i e. covered yede with dry Blood till it closed into the mid-face And after that the other half be closed in the same wise And the whiles it vanished in this party even as it came This saw I bodily | i e. obscurely sweinly and darkly and I desired more bodily light to have seen more clearly and I was answered in my reason If God will shew thee more he shall be thy light thou need none but him For I saw him and sought him for we be now so blind and so unwise that we can never seek God till what time that he of his Goodness sheweth him to us And when we see ought of him graciously then are we stirred by the same Grace to seek with great desire to see him more blessedfully And thus I saw him and sought him and I had him and wanted him And this is and should be our common working in this life as to my sight One time my Understanding was litle down into the Sea-ground and there saw I Hills and Dales green seeming as it were most begrowing with Wrake and Gravel Then I understood thus that if a Man or Woman were there under the broad Water and he might have sight of God so as God is with a man continually he should be safe in Soul and Body and take no harm and | i e. exceedingly over-passing he should have more solace and comfort than all this World may or can tell For he will that we believe that we see him continually though that us think that it be but litle and in the belief he maketh us evermore to get Grace for he will be seen and he will be sought and he will be abiden and he will be trusted This second shewing was so low and so litle and so simple that my Spirits were in great Travail in the beholding mourning dreadful and longing for I was sometime in a fear whether it was a shewing or none and then divers times our Lord gave me more sight whereby that I understood truly that it was a shewing It was a Figure and a Likeness of our foul black deeds which our fair bright blessed Lord bare for our sin It made me to think of the Holy † i e.
