This dream master I. of Chlume first expounded.1 Then he in the next Epistle after expounded it himself to this effect. Stante mandato Dei. &c. That is: the Commandment of God standing, that we must observe no dreams yet notwithstanding I trust that the life of Christ was painted in Bethlehem by me through his word in the harts of men, the which preaching they went about in Bethlehem to destroy, first in commanding that no preaching should be neither in the church of Bethlehem, nor in the chapels thereby: Secondly that the Church of Bethlehem should be thrown down to the ground. The same life of Christ shall be painted up again by moe preachers much better then I, and after much more better sort, so that a great number of people shall rejoice thereat: all such as love the life of Christ: and also I shall rejoice my self: at what time I shall awake, that is, when I shall rise again from the dead.
