Excerpt from Thomas a Kempis, Vol. 2: And the Brothers of Common Life The founding of the new monastery, first at Westerhof - The institution of the first Canons - A pestilence in the country - The monastery transferred to Mount St. Agnes - The people of Zwolle oppose the consecration of the cemetery Memorials of several who died on the Mount - The election of John a Kempis to be Prior - Various ways in which he promoted the interests of the monastery - Events from A.D. 1399-1406 - Thomas a Kempis received into the monastery - A memorial of Wolfard the Priest - The Investment of several Brothers by Prior John - Among these of Thomas a Kempis - The form of dedicating himself wholly to God - The Deed of Profession, and the Vow of Obedience - A Kempis on religious obedience - A soliloquy of thankfulness and devotion. As Thomas à Kempis came to live in the monastery at Mount St. Agnes within a short time after the Canons Regular, of which he became one, took possession of it, and the appointment of the first Prior, the matters concerning which he writes must have been recorded by him whilst the circumstances were fresh in the minds of those living there. Afterwards he writes respecting what he himself witnessed, or was concerned or took part in. I shall therefore give these chronicles, briefly and substantially, as they are related by him. On January 18, 1398, the most Reverend Father Frederick de Brankenheim, the famous metropolitan Bishop of Utrecht, granted his license and authority to the devout priests Egbert of Linghen and Wolfard Matthias, and certain other persons - devout clerics and laymen - dwelling together in Mount St. Agnes in Nemel, near Zwolle, that, for the more fully promoting the glory of God and of holy religion, they might construct in some suitable and convenient place in the diocese, a monastery of Canons Regular, where they might worthily and devoutly serve God according to the rule of the Blessed Augustine.
