Chapter XVI. Of his happy death and burial "Most gladly do I hear these things, and feel that as it were a new spirit of devotion is born in me thereby. Oh! that many Masters like to him could now be found, who should be constrained to inform the Church of God by their excellent example and doctrine.
Therefore I shall hold in greater reverence and love this noble man who hath been until now unknown to me: and wheresoever I shall find treatises written by him or concerning his deeds, I shall take heed to read the same carefully and diligently to search them out. But I pray if thou dost know any other memorable things concerning him, that thou wilt impart them to me before thou dost go forward to further matters."
(7) (The elder Brother answers him.) "Although I am hastening to write of other things, yet that I may satisfy thy longing by a few words, hear now what a doctor of Theology, a Cantor at Paris, who formerly knew
Gerard well, writes about him, and with how great praise he lauds him now that he is dead."
