  • Þo fift maner of clensyng þat fallis to tribulacion, is clensyng of wyne in þo pressure; for as þo pressure presses þo grapis þat þo preciouse wyne may be departid fro þo dreggis: so god settis þo soule in þo pressure of tribulacion, þat is to saie in sekenes of body, in pursuyng of wickid men, in dethe of frendis, in losse of erthely godis; þat he may clense þo soule of filthes of synne & of wicked lykingis. And þerfore ne put not a-way þo pressure of tribulacion: if þou wilt be sett in celere of Crist, as Salomon saies Cant. first: «Þo kyng led me in to þo wyne-selere»; & seynt Austyn saies þat «Þo martirs in þis lyne are so pressid, þat þo greet mater of hore body laft in þo pressoure, & þo preciouse soules are sett in celere of ayelastyng lyue as preciouse wyne».
