INTRODUCTION
n
this part we will treat, with sundry devout considerations,
of the glorious, sacred, and holy stigmata of our blessed
father St Francis, which he received from Christ on the holy
mountain of Alvernia. And inasmuch as the said stigmata were
five, according to the five wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ,
therefore this treatise shall have five considerations.
