   > Then the Lord said to her: Hearken, all holy Mother of God, if anyone   
   > names and calls upon thy name, I will not forsake him, either in   
   > heaven or on earth. XXVII. And the all holy one said: Where is Moses?   
   > Where are all the prophets and fathers who never sinned? Where art   
   > thou, holy Paul of God? where is the holy Lord's Day, the boast of   
   > the Christians? where is the power of the precious and life-giving   
   > cross, which delivered Adam and Eve from the ancient curse? Then   
   > Michael and all the angels raised one voice saying: Lord, have mercy   
   > on the sinners. Then Moses also cried: Have mercy, Lord, on those to   
   > whom I gave thy law. Then John also called: Have mercy, Lord, on   
   > those to whom I gave thy Gospel. Then Paul cried: Have mercy, Lord,   
   > on those to whom I brought thy epistles in the Church. And the Lord   
   > God said: Hearken, all ye righteous: if according to the law which   
   > Moses gave, and according to the Gospel which John gave, and   
   > according to the epistles which Paul carried, they thus be judged.   
   > And they had nothing to say except, Have mercy, O just judge. XXVIII.   
   > And the all holy Mother of God said: Have mercy, Lord, on the   
   > Christians, because they kept thy law and gave heed to thy gospel,   
   > but they were simple ones. Then the Lord said to her: Hearken, all   
   > holy one: if anyone did evil to them and they did not requite him the   
   > evil, thou sayest well that they attended to both my law and my   
   > gospel, but if he did not do them wrong and they requited him evil,   
   > how may I say that these are holy men? now they shall be rewarded   
   > according to their wrongdoing. Then all hearing the voice of the Lord   
   > had nothing to answer; and the all holy one, when she saw that the   
   > saints were at a loss, and their Lord did not hear, and his mercy was   
   > hidden from them, then the all holy one said: Where is Gabriel, who   
   > announced unto me the "Hail, thou that from eternity shalt conceive   
   > him who is without beginning like the Father," and now does not look   
   > upon sinners? Where   
   >   
   > 174   
   >   
   > is the great commander-in-chief? come hither, all ye saints whom God   
   > justified, and let us fall down in the presence of the invisible   
   > Father, in order that the Lord God may hear us, and have mercy on   
   > sinners. Then Michael, the commander-in-chief, and all the saints   
   > fell on their faces in the presence of the invisible Father, saying:   
   > Have mercy, Lord, on the Christian sinners. XXIX. Then the Lord,   
   > seeing the prayer of the saints, had compassion and said: Go down, my   
   > beloved son, and because of the prayer of the saints let thy face   
   > shine on earth to sinners. Then the Lord came down from his undefiled   
   > throne: and when they saw Him, those who were under chastisement   
   > raised one voice saying: Have mercy on us, King of ages. Then the   
   > Lord of all things said: Hearken, all ye sinners and righteous men: I   
   > made paradise and made man after my image: but he transgressed, and   
   > for his own sins was delivered to death: but I did not suffer the   
   > works of my hands to be tyrannized over by the serpent: wherefore I   
   > bowed the heavens and came down and was born of Mary, the holy   
   > undefiled Mother of God, that I might set you free: I was baptised in   
   > Jordan in order that I might save the creature (nature) which had   
   > grown old under sin: I was nailed to the cross(1) to free you from   
   > the ancient curse: I asked for water and ye gave me vinegar mingled   
   > with gall: I was laid in the grave: I trampled on the enemy: I raised   
   > up mine elect, and even thus ye would not hear me. But now,   
   > because(2) of the prayer of my mother Mary, because she has wept much   
   > for your sake, and because of Michael my archangel, and because of   
   > the multitude of my saints, I grant you to have rest on the day of   
   > Pentecost to glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. XXX.   
   > Then all the angels and archangels, thrones, lordships, authorities,   
   > governments, powers, and the many-eyed cherubim and the six-winged   
   > seraphim and all the apostles and prophets and martyrs and all the   
   > saints raised one voice, saying: Glory to thee, O Lord: glory to   
   > thee, lover of men: glory to thee, King of ages: glory be to thy   
   > compassion: glory be to thy long suffering: glory be to thy   
   > unspeakable justice of judgment, because thou hast been   
   > long-suffering with sinners and impious men: Thine is it to pity and   
   > to save. To him be the glory and the power to the Father and to the   
   > Son and to the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen.
