Chapter 8. How A Holy Man, Being In Prayer, Beheld The Soul Of Friar Giles Go To The Life Eternal
Open passage
A GOOD man, being in prayer, when Friar Giles passed from this life, saw his soul go up to heaven, together with a multitude of other souls which at that hour came forth from Purgatory; and he saw Jesus Christ come to meet the soul of Friar Giles, and, with a multitude of Angels and all those souls, ascend into the glory of Paradise, to a great sound of sweet music.
