Gleanings from Matilda’s Book.
Project Gutenberg EPUB edition
Mechthild, of Magdeburg and Bevan, Frances
The seven books which compose “The flowing forth of the light of the Godhead” being composed of detached papers put together by Brother Henry, have, as has been remarked, no special connection one with another. It may be as well to give detached poems from the first five books, and thoughts in prose, or rather [71] not in rhyme, asking indulgence for the imperfect rendering of either into modern English. The titles given are from the original.
