Note 86 — Chapter II · THE SECOND VISITATION OF THE DISEASE.—1506.

B. G. (Benjamin Guy) Babington translation

Crusius is the most circumstantial on this point, for he gives the names of many persons on whose clothes crosses were visible. On a maiden’s shawl the instruments of Christ’s martyrdom were supposed to have been seen marked. In the vicinity of Biberach, a miller’s lad made rude sport of the painting of crosses, but he was seized and burned. Book II. p. 156.
