the same. He found among her papers many leaves written by herself, many
verses and poems, which breathed forth the sorrowfulness of her spirit.
Catharine herself had collected them into a book, and with her own hand
she had given to the book this title: "Lamentations of a Sinner."
Catharine had wept much as she penned these "Lamentations"; for in many
places the manuscript was illegible, and her tears had obliterated the
characters.
John Heywood kissed the spots where the traces of her tears remained,
and whispered: "The sinner has by her suffering been glorified into
a saint; and these poems are the cross and the monument which she has
prepared for her own grave. I will set up this cross, that the good may
take comfort, and the wicked flee from it." And he did so. He had
the "Lamentations of a Sinner" printed; and this book was the fairest
monument of Catharine.
