Of this Oswald, much praise and commendation is written in authors, for his fervent zeal in Christs Religion, & merciful pity toward the poor, with other great virtues moe. As touching the miracles of S. Oswald, what it pleased the people of that time to report of him, I have not here to affirm: This I find in stories certain, that he being well and virtuously disposed to the setting forth of Christs faith and doctrine, sent into Scotland for a certain Bishop,1 there called Aidanus, which was a famous preacher. The king what time he was in Scotland banished, had learned the scottish tongue perfectly: wherefore as this Aidanus preached in his scottish tongue to the Saxons, the king himself interpreting that which he had said, disdained not to preach & expound the same to his nobles & ⟨p. 122⟩subjects in the English tongue.
