Iuxta quem inimicus homo iacens et hunc vivere solum ab insidiantium laqueis tunc securus cernens, hastam sumpsit et necare eundem conatus est. Tunc iste confortatus in Domino post longum mutui agonis luctamen victor hostem prostravit et inter multas itineris asperitates incolomis notos pervenit ad fines. Inde gaudium gregi suo exoritur et omni Christum cognoscenti. Excipitur ab omnibus miles bonus in clero et servatur optimus pastor in populo, et fuit eiusdem mutilatio non ad dedecus, sed ad honorem magis.
