which also took place�察�and he took with him the image of St。 Mary�察�the

practice they continued till the reign of Ida�察�who was the son of Eoppa�察�he�察�
of the Saxon race�察 �was the first king in Bernicia�察 �and in Cair Ebrauc

When Gratian Aequantius was consul at rome�察�because then the whole
world was governed by the Roman consuls�察�the Saxons were received by
Vortigern in the year of our Lord four hundred and forty´seven�察�and to the
year in which we now write�察�five hundred and forty´seven。 And whosoever

In those days Saint Patrick was captive among the Scots。 His master's
name was Milcho�察�to whom he was a swineherd for seven years。 When he
had attained the age of seventeen he gave him his liberty。 By the divine
impulse�察 �he applied himself to reading of the Scriptures�察 �and afterwards
went to Rome�察 �where�察 �replenished with the Holy Spirit�察 �he continued a
great while�察 �studying the sacred mysteries of those writings。 During his
continuance there�察�Palladius�察�the first bishop�察�was sent by pope Celestine
to convert the Scots ��the Irish�А� But tempests and signs from God
prevented his landing�察�for no one can arrive in any country�察�except it be
allowed from above�察�altering therefore his course from Ireland�察�he came to
Britain and died in the land of the Picts。* * At Fordun�察�in the district of
Mearns�察�in Scotland´Usher。 51。 The death of Palladius being known�察�the
Roman patricians�察 �Theodosius and Valentinian�察 �then reigning�察 �pope
Celestine sent Patrick to convert the Scots to the faith of the Holy Trinity�察�
Victor�察�the angel of God�察�accompanying�察�admonishing�察�and assisting him�察�
and also the bishop Germanus。
Germanus then sent the ancient Segerus with him as a venerable and
praiseworthy bishop�察�to king Amatheus�撮�1�А�who lived near�察�and who had
prescience of what was to happen�察�he was consecrated bishop in the reign
of that king by the holy pontiff�撮�2�А�assuming the name of Patrick�察�having
hitherto been known by that of Maun�察 �Auxilius�察 �Isserninus�察 �and other
brothers were ordained with him to inferior degrees。 ��1�А�V。R。 Germanus

52。 Having distributed benedictions�察�and perfected all in the name of
the Holy Trinity�察�he embarked on the sea which is between the Gauls and
the Britons�察 �and after a quick passage arrived in Britain�察 �where he
preached for some time。 Every necessary preparation being made�察�and the
angel giving him warning�察�he came to the Irish Sea。 And having filled the
ship with foreign gifts and spiritual treasures�察�by the permission of God he
arrived in Ireland�察�where he baptized and preached。
53。 From the beginning of the world�察�to the fifth year of king Logiore�察�
when the Irish were baptized�察 �and faith in the unity of the individual
Trinity was published to them�察�are five thousand three hundred and thirty
years。
54。 Saint Patrick taught the gospel in foreign nations for the space of
forty years。 Endued with apostolical powers�察 �he gave sight to the blind�察�
cleansed the lepers�察�gave hearing to the deaf�察�cast out devils�察�raised nine
from the dead�察�redeemed many captives of both sexes at his own charge�察�
and set them free in the name of the Holy Trinity。 He taught the servants of
God�察�and he wrote three hundred and sixty´five canonical and other books
relating to the catholic faith。 He founded as many churches�察 �and
consecrated the same number of bishops�察 �strengthening them with the
Holy Ghost。 He ordained three thousand presbyters�察 �and converted and
baptized twelve thousand persons in the province of Connaught。 And�察�in
one day baptized seven kings�察�who were the seven sons of Amalgaid。��1�А�
He continued fasting forty days and nights�察�on the summit of the mountain
Eli�察 �that is Cruachan´Aichle�撮�2�А �and preferred three petitions to God for
the Irish�察�that had embraced the faith。 The Scots say�察�the first was�察�that he
would receive every repenting sinner�察�even at the latest extremity of life�察�
the second�察�that they should never be exterminated by barbarians�察�and the
third�察�that as Ireland��3�А�will be overflowed with water�察�seven years before
the coming of our Lord to judge the quick and the dead�察�the crimes of the
people might be washed away through his intercession�察 �and their souls
purified at the last day。 He gave the people his benediction from the upper

part of the mountain�察 �and going up higher�察�that he might pray for them�察�
and that if it pleased God�察 �he might see the effects of his labours�察 �there
appeared to him an innumerable flock of birds of many coulours�察�
signifying the number of holy persons of both sexes of the Irish nation�察�
who should come to him as their apostle at the day of judgment�察 �to be
presented before the tribunal of Christ。 After a life spent in the active
exertion of good to mankind�察�St。 Patrick�察�in a healthy old age�察�passed from
this world to the Lord�察�and changing this life for a better�察�with the saints
and elect of God
