An other like miracle is also told by the said Osberne of Dunstan in this order,1 how the said Dunstan appeared to a certain lame cripple in the night, willing him to resort unto his tomb, to have his limbs again restored. Which cripple, according as he was willed, after he had there continued praying for health a long time, and could not obtain, began to return home again after long tarrying,2 with out all hope of recovery. To whom the said Dunstan appearing again by the way, asked from whence he came, and whether he would. The cripple answering, declared how he came thither upon hope of health, where he had long tarried, and because he could find no recovery, therefore he now was returning home. To whom then said Dunstan: I am (sayeth he) Dunstan the fellow servant of all Gods servants,3 and have been occupied with certain necessary business, for the which I could not be present there with my children. For Elfrike (said he) otherwise surnamed Bata hath attempted to disherit my church, but I have so stopped him, that he could not prevail.
