CHAPTER XI.
_Of the death of Brother Wolfard, Priest in the Monastery of Mount St.
Agnes_.
In the year of the Lord 1401, on the Feast of the Holy Martyrs John and Paul, Brother Wolfard, son of Matthias, died in the monastery pertaining to our order, which is called the House of the Blessed Virgin in the Wood, and lieth near Northorn.

He came from Medenblic, a town in Holland, and was one of the four first Brothers of our House.

He was a man of great stature and grave deportment, eloquent in discourse, and his hoary head was comely to look upon.

He took part in the labours of the younger Brothers, and would perform lowly tasks, such as washing the trenchers, digging the ground, carrying stones, or collecting wood.

It was his wont to come early into the choir, to be alert in watching, enduring in fasting, careful in celebrating the Mass, and devout in prayer.
