And yet notwithstanding, Antoninus writing of the same Katherine in his 3. part.1 Tit. 23. cap. 14. reciteth her words thus, prophesying of the reformation of the church to Fryer Reymund her ghostly father: By these tribulations (saith she) God after a secret manner unknown to man, shall purge his holy Church, and after those things shall follow such a reformation of the holy Church of God, 2and such a renovation of the holy pastors, that the only cogitation and remembrance thereof maketh my spirit to rejoice in the Lord: And, as I have oftentimes told you heretofore, the spouse which is now all deformed and ragged, shall be adorned and decked with most rich and precious ouches and brooches: and all the faithful shall be glad and rejoice to see themselves so beautified with so holy pastors. Yea and also the infidels then allured by the sweet savour of Christ, shall return to the catholic fold, and be converted to the true bishop and shepherd of their souls. Give thanks therefore to GOD, for after this storm, he will give a great calm. &c.
