MATTHEW 07 WÏSTlCIlf8MCB. A.D. 1292. many sorrows are laid up for those men who bring miseries on others by their impiety.

The sun of the Minor Brothers being obscured by the death of the pope, who belonged to that order, as has been stated before, the moon also suffered eclipse ; for the archbishop of Canterbury, whose wisdom had been entirely swallowed up before his death, and who in his prosperity had despised and trampled on many persona, and especially on the professors of the most holy order of the most blessed Bene
