CHAPTER XIV. _Of the consecration of our Church and of four Altars in the House of Mount St.Agnes_. In the year 1412, on the 8th day of the month of April, being the Friday after Easter, our church was consecrated, being dedicated in honour of St.Agnes the Virgin and Martyr of Christ.
The rite was performed by Matthias of Biduane, the Suffragan of our Lord and Reverend Father in Christ, Frederic de Blanckenhem, Bishop of Utrecht.
Many religious persons and priests were present thereat, namely, the Prior of Windesem, the Prior of Belheem, Conrad Hengel and John of Haarlem, who were priests at Zwolle.
Many other honourable persons also, both men and women, young and old, men of the town and men of the country, came together to this dedication.
There was great joy in the hearts of all, and a general license to enter the monastery was given to strangers, as our statutes allow to be done on that day only.
