Chapter X a piece of cloth in which he had buried the head of the Lord it is so covered. Of the sacred and holy that one also a piece of cloth, which is in the tomb on his head as had been laid out, we have known the relation of the holy Arculf, who had also caught sight of the gazes of their own, which we have now this craxamus [et al., Caraxamus, that is, pars] a narration of the which the whole of Jerusalem bears witness to the people to be genuine. Several of the faithful people of Jerusalem for the testimony of this pronouncement of the citizens he learned to the Holy Arculf, who so very often in the attentive hearing and announced that, saying: "Before the three years following the linen cloth in the Most Holy, because some being quite fitted to a Jew immediately after the credulous, the resurrection of his having stolen from the tomb of the Lord, with himself, for many days and hid; His giving Himself the Lord after the rings of many years old, who was found, to the notice of all the people came. He, therefore, happy and faithful to our Lord s a thief in the first place the napkin, that he took away in secret, was appointed in the ends of the two sons of manifesting called for them and brought them, saying: "O my son, now you have your choice. Let him say, therefore, any one of you What better to wish for the two longs for it, without any doubt that I also may I may know any of you will be, according to its choice of to whom, or of me as of all the goods I have, I ought to commend, or only that our Lord in holy napkin. These things were heard from the mouth of father 's words, one that to her father to receive the riches of all the wanted to, receives them from the Father, according to the promise from the Father being recommended to the. It is strange to tell! from that day forth all the riches of his and property of all my reasons for the napkin of the Lord sold it, he began to decrease;, and all that he had, different cases, lost to nothing have been redacted. And the other son of the blessed of the aforesaid the thief, who gives the preference to the Lord all the napkin, any loss of property, "from which the day of it out of the hand of the dying man he took to her father, more and more the gift of God in earthly wealth is also being enlarged by, nor deprived of the heavenly. And the Lord 's "so also this the napkin out of the fathers to the children of the same family of man, three times of the blessed enough, as if by hereditary right of the faithful to the faithful, according to their family of the series, to be faithfully as far as recommending to the fifth generation. But after the death of the generation of years old at the time of the fifth he has proceeded far past, the end of the same hereditary failing of kinship by the faithful, the sacred cloth for the hands of some of the Jews, came to believe not: but they also, that any part unworthy of such an office, still it honorably embraced him, the divine help of God gave liberal presents, a very different enriched resources have been made rich . But Judas, those who believe, there arose among the people of the lady 's sure the account of a piece of cloth, together with unbelievers: they began to Jews on account of the sacred linen strongly contend that, with all his might into the hands of that coveted after, they to receive it. Which contention had the support of the Jerusalem populace to the two broke off the side, that is the faithful and the credulity, and the unbelievers, against unbelievers. Hence the king of the Saracens, the name of the ship [et al., Majuvias], is being accused, by both the parties, the incredulous to them, the Jews, who they still retained the pertinaciously the napkin of the Lord, Crete. he adds: the presence of the Christians to the Jews.] discerning between the two, he said: the Sacred which you have, give it in the linen cloth in my own hand. He that the word of the king 's In obedience to it out of the reliquary, brought forward as they establish the regnatoris in the bosom of, which with great favor, receiving the king, in the street before all the people he commanded the funeral pyre to be made. Whither the burning excess of inflammation, he rose up to him, he, and came and the funeral pyre of clevata produced discord between them on either with the voice of the parts of said: "Now Christ is the Saviour of the world suffered for the human race, who in this which is now in the bosom of conteneo the napkin, in the tomb upon the head of his own he had been" put in between the yourselves from this the same with the towel by the flame of the struggle to claim judge of the fire, that we may know which side the hosts of two of these things that contentious such a gift to pardon Christian. And I say this, the sacred of the Lord and cast them into the flames of the napkin, that in no way to touch the fire was able to, but rather a complete and sound of the rising up, I ask, like a bird with expanded wings on high, he began to fly, the latter and both of the people who differ in the parts of one against another and as it were, in readiness for sitting in a battle of the war set in battle For from the top, looking out two, in a void of some of the air by the interval of the moments circumvolans, Consequently, by little and little, in going down to a part of God of the Christians of government in the meantime turning in entreating Christ the judge, took up his position in their bosom.
