Life of Mother Margaret (M ostyn) of Jesus, which is contained in the following pages, is taken from a manuscript preserved at Darlington. The religious of the Carmelite convent in that town form the same community as that in which she lived. It was founded at Lierre, from A ntwerp, in 1648, as is related below, she and her sister, Mother Ursula of All Saints, being two of the band of religious who migrated from Antwerp for that purpose. The sources from which this Life has been drawn up were all contemporaneous with its subject. After the death of Mother Margaret, the nuns who had lived with her so long were ordered by the Bishop to write down their recollections of her, and the papers thus produced form a great part of the substance of the following pages. The general narrative is due to the labours of Canon Bedingfield, the confessor of the convent and Margaret sintimate friend, who laid on her the task of setting down on paper the favours which she received in prayer, and who used them along with the other papers already mentioned in the com position of her Life. But his own death came too soon for the completion of the work which he had under taken.
