 these words of the prophet David, " Laetatus sum in his quae dicta sunt mihi: in domum Domini ibimus:" "I have rejoiced in those things that are said unto me: we will go into the house of our Lord." In fine, the happy hour being come, he yielded his blessed soul into the hands of his maker, and by the passage of a temporal death, travelled to an eternal life, on the 18th of October, upon the feast of St. Luke, 1562, the 63d year of his age, and the 47th of his entrance into holy religion. His body after his death became more beautiful, shining with great clarity, and sending forth sweet odors. The people from all parts flocked to behold this sacred spectacle, and greedy after so rich a prey, clipped pieces of his habit, which they conserved as holy relics. His body was no sooner in the grave, but his sepulchre began to be renowned with many miracles, which for brevity's sake I omit to speak of, because I would not be too tedious to the devout reader.
