r House, who had
sojourned in this place for twenty years. He submitted himself to divers
toils and discommodities by his devotion and faithfulness to the business
of the House; he was pitiful to the poor, kindly to the afflicted, and in
this time of stress he ministered with care and diligence to the Brothers
that were sick. His body was laid in the burying ground of the Laics
near the other Donates, and after his burial the pestilence was stayed,
for God had pity on us, and some that had been smitten by this stroke
grew whole of their disease.

In this year, after the Feast of All Saints, Brother Gerard Ae, once an
inmate of the House on the Mount, died in Frisia in the Convent of the
Nuns at Berghen.

In the same year, on the Feast of St. Lucia the Virgin, Peter
Valkenburrigh the Priest departed this life. He had lived an humble life
for a long while with the Brothers in the Field of St. John near
Vollenhoe, and he desired to be buried upon Mount St. Agnes, where he had
dwelt in former days, with the first Brothers of the House; for they of
the Field of St. John had not as yet a consecrated burying ground; so he
was laid to rest on the eastern side of ours next to Winald the Priest,
who was once chaplain to our Lord Frederic, Bishop of Utrecht, and a
friend to the Brothers on the Mount.

Of the death of William, son of Seger, a Priest in Hasselt.

In the year of the Lord 1422, on the Vigil of Ascension Day, which was
the day following the Feast of St. Potentiana, died that devout priest,
William, son of Seger, the Confessor of the Sisters of the Third Order at
Hasselt. He was born in Zwolle, and was buried, as he had long desired,
on the eastern side of the precinct before the Prior's Cell. There were
present at his burial these venerable men, namely, Father Wessel, first
Superior of Kleerwater, near Hattem, Father John Haerlem, Confessor of
the Sisters at Zwolle, Father Gerard Trecht, and Father Stephen Mulart,
who were priests in Hasselt. Also many other honourable men, and friends
of the said William, came together to his burial from the aforesaid
towns, and the Prior of the House recited the burial office with faithful
devotion in presence of the Brothers.

After his death Father Gerard Trecht was called by the Fathers of our
Order to rule over the aforesaid Sisters in the room of the departed
Brother.

In the same year, during the days of Pentecost, peace was established
between the
