     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�

prescience of what was to happen�察�he was consecrated bishop in the reign

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�

years。

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

appeared      to   him    an   innumerable      flock    of  birds    of  many     coulours�察�
