And than I said, it semyd to me as if He had bene seven night dede, it menyth that the swete body was so discoloryd, so drye, so clongen, so dedely, and so peteuous as He had be seven night dede, continuly deyand. (4/5)

And as longe as any spirit had life in Crists fleshe, so longe sufferid He peyne. This longe pynyng semyd to me as if He had bene seven night ded deyand at the poynt of outpassing awey, sufferand the last peyne. (3/5)

And thow this peyne was bitter and sharpe, it was full longe lestyng as to my sighte and peynfully dreyden up all the lively spirits of Crists fleshe. Thus I saw the swete fleshe dey, in semyng be party after party, dryande with mervelous peynys. (2/5)

Blodeleshede and peyne dryden within and blowyng of wynde and cold commyng fro withouten metten togeder in the swete body of Criste. And these four, tweyn withouten and tweyn within, dryden the fleshe of Criste be process of tyme. (1/5)

For that same tyme that our Lord and blissid Savior deyid upon the Rode, it was a dry, harre wynde and wonder colde, as to my sigte. And what tyme the pretious blode was bled oute of the swete body that migte passe therfro, yet there dwellid a moysture in the swete flesh of Criste, as it was (4/5)

For His passion shewid to me most propirly in His blissid face, and namly in His lippis. There I saw these four colowres, tho that were aforn freshe, redy, and likyng to my sigte. (2/5)

Julian (of Norwich) @shewings.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

After this Criste shewid a partie of His passion nere His deyeng. I saw His swete face as it was drye and blodeles with pale deyeng, and sithen more pale, dede, langoring, and than turnid more dede into blew, and sithen more browne blew, as the flesh turnyd more depe dede. (1/5)

But frely our Lord gevyth whan He wille, and suffrith us in wo sumtyme, and both is one love. For it is Godds wil we hold us in comfort with al our migte for blisse is lestinge without ende, and peyne is passand and shal be browte to nougte to hem that shall be savyd. (3/4)

And for profitt of manys soule, a man is sumtyme left to himselfe, althowe synne is not ever the cause. For in this tyme I synned not wherfore I shulde be left to myselfe, for it was so soden. Also I deservyd not to have this blissid felyng. (2/4)

And than the peyne shewid ageyn to my feling, and than the joy and the lekyng, and now that one, and now that other, dyvers tymes, I suppose aboute twenty tymes. And in the same tyme of joy I migte have seid with Seynt Paul, nothing shal depart me from the charite of Criste. (4/5)

And anone after this our blissid Lord gave me ageyne the comfort and the rest in soule in likyng and sekirnes so blisful and so mycti, that no drede, no sorow, ne peyne bodily that might be suffrid, should have desesid me. (3/5)

Julian (of Norwich) @shewings.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

This lestenid but a while, and I was turnyd and left to myselfe in hevynes and werines of my life and irkenes of myselfe that onethis I coude have patience to leve. There was no comfort nor none ease to me, but feith, hope, and charite. And these I had in truthe, but litil in feling. (2/5)

And after this He shewid a soveren gostly lekyng in my soule. I was fulfillid of the everlesting sekirnes migtily susteinid withoute any peynful drede. This felyng was so gladd and so gostly that I was in al peace and in reste, that there was nothing in erth that should a grevid me. (1/5)

For I saw that whan or what tyme a man or woman be truly turnid to God, for on day service and for his endles wille he shall have al these three degres of blisse. And the more that the lovand soule seeth this curtesy of God, the lever he is to serve Him al the dayes of his life. #Shewings (6/6)

And I saw that homely and swetely was this shewid, that the age of every man shal be knowen in Hevyn, and shal be rewardid for his wilful service and for his time. And namely the age of hem that wilfully and frely offir her yongith to God, passingly is rewardid and wonderly is thankyd. (5/6)

The second, that all the blissid creatures that arn in Hevyn shall se that worshipfull thankyng, and He makyth his service knowen to al that arn in Hevyn. And in this time this example was shewid. A king, if he thanke his servants, it is a gret worship to hem; (3/6)

Julian (of Norwich) @shewings.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

This thanke is so high and so worshipful that him thinkith it fillith him, thow there were no more. For methowte that all the peyne and travel that might be suffryd of all liveing men might not deserve the worshipfull thanke that one man shall have that wilfully hath servid God. (2/6)

Julian (of Norwich) @shewings.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

God shewid three degrees of blis that every soule shal have in Hevyn that wilfully hath servid God in any degre in erthe. The first is the worshipful thanke of our Lord God that he shal recevyn whan he is deliverid of peyne. (1/6)
