The Pope Clement VI. made a great indulgence for all the repentant christians in times of the Black Death.
Text originalOriginal text
Della 'ndulgenzia diede il papa per la detta pistolenza.
In questi tempi della mortale pestilenzia papa Clemento sesto fece grande indulgenza generale della pena di tutti i peccati a coloro che pentuti e confessi la domandavano al loro confessoro, e morivano: e in quella certa mortalità catuno Cristiano credendosi morire si disponea bene, e con molta contrizione e pazienzia rendevano l’anima a Dio.
Text translationEnglish translation of the text
Of the indulgence given by the pope for the said pestilence.
In these times of the deadly plague, Pope Clement the Sixth made a great general indulgence of the punishment of all sins to those who repented and confessed and asked their confessor, and died: and in that certain mortality, each Christian believing himself to be dying, disposed himself well, and with much contrition and patience rendered his soul to God.
