Of whom one hundred & ⟨image 84⟩four score continuing in their stubbornness against the Church of Rome, chose to be burned rather then to abjure their heresy. Which thing was also done. And S. Dominic abode x. years in those quarters, in the office of preaching and weeding out of heresy, when all the rest returned home to their own. Thus reporteth he of his own founder & of that butchery.1 Whereby it appeareth, that the pope had good cause afterward to canonize him and make him one of his Saints. Neither is it without cause that Dominikes mother being great with child of him, dreamed that she bare in her womb a dog (or as other say, a wolf) with a firebrand in his mouth, wherewith he did set the whole world on fire, &c. But I will return to my matter.
