The Chronicle of the Canons Regular of Mount St. Agnes

CHAPTER XIV
6/79

The Brothers were with him when he died, and they offered up prayers after the accustomed manner.

He was in the thirty-eighth year of his age, and the fifteenth after his profession: he came from Zwolle, where he was born of very honest parents, and he loved our patroness St.Agnes the Virgin with a special devotion.

In the beginning he suffered many weaknesses and temptations, but afterward, by the help of God, he was changed into another man, mightily uplifted from pusillanimity of spirit, and endowed with much grace of devotion.

He died happily after a good struggle, and on the next day his body was buried next to Brother Nicholas Kreyenschot on the eastern side of the cloister, and Mass and prayers were said for him.
On the Feast of St.Michael, after Vespers had been said, Nicholas, son of Peter, departed this life.

He was a Donate of our House, and a carpenter, being a man of great stature and mighty strength, and he had lived for more than twenty years in the House of Mount St.Agnes.
