Ruysbroeck eBook

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I owe to the great kindness of my friend, Mrs. Theodore Beck, the translation of several passages from Ruysbroeck's Spark ling Stone given in the present work; and in quoting from The Twelve Beguines have often, though not always, availed myself of the recently published version by Mr. John Francis. For all other renderings I alone am responsible.
