CHAPTER III
Now follow the interrogations of them that draw to the death, while they have reason with them and their speech. For this cause if any man is not fully disposed to die, he may the better be informed and comforted [thereto]. And as Saint Anselm the bishop saith and teacheth, these interrogations should be had unto them that be in that plight. First ask him this:

Brother, art thou glad that thou shalt die in the faith of Christ? The sick man answereth: Yea.

Knowest thou well that thou hast not done as thou shouldst have done? He answereth: Yea.

Repentest thee thereof? He answereth: Yea.

Hast thou full will to amend thee, if thou mightest have full space of life? He answereth: Yea.

Believest thou fully that Our Lord Jesu Christ, God's Son, died for thee? He sayeth: Yea.

Thankest thou Him thereof with all thine heart? He answereth: Yea.
