Holy Thursday, in the morning. Being desirous (before E.K. his going down into the country) to have some comfort and token of free forgiveness at God's hands I brought forth the Stone. Then I went into my oratory and prayed the 22 Psalm.IO E.K.: 'One all in white appeareth in the Stone, who said: "Even as the father his compassion is great over his younglings and children: so is the abundance of thy mercy (0 Lord) great and unspeakable to the long offences and sins of thy servant.'''
