Sicque factum est ut quomodo simplici ac pura mente tranquillaque devotione Domino servierat, ita etiam tranquilla morte mundum relinquens ad eius visionem veniret, illaque lingua quae tot salutaria verba in laudem conditoris composuerat, ultima quoque verba in laudem ipsius, signando sese, et spiritum suum in manus eius commendando clauderet: qui etiam praescius sui obitus exstitisse, ex his quae narravimus, videtur.
And thus was it brought about that, even as he had served the Lord with a simple and pure mind and peaceful devoutness, so likewise leaving the world with a peaceful death he might come to His sight, and that tongue, which had framed so many wholesome words in the praise of the Creator, might also close up its last words in His praise, by the signing of himself and commending his spirit into His hands; and by these things that we have told it appeareth also that he had known beforehand of his departing.
