CHAPTER XIII.
_Of the death of Brother Nicholas Kreyenschot_.
In the year 1410, on the Feast of St.Barnabas the Apostle, Nicholas Kreyenschot died just after sunset.

He was a youth of good disposition, and sprang from a notable family of the town of Kampen.

He was about twenty-three years of age, for God dealt pitifully with him so that his short span of life fulfilled the task of many years, and he escaped longer struggles in this present life; for eight months and ten days after his profession he left dwelling in this present world and departed to the other.

The virtue of obedience shone brightly in him, as was seemly in a good youth.

Who should say, "Brother, come hither," and Nicholas would not come straightway, or "Begone," and he did not straightway depart?
Moreover, a good return came to the monastery through his means.
