_Of his Journey, and of his manifold Miracles._
And going out of Connactia, after having confirmed that country in the
Christian faith, he went toward the northern part of Ireland, which is
called Dalnardia; and the people therein dwelling, by his conversation,
and by his example, and by his miracles, did he convert unto the faith
of Christ and the sacraments of the faith. Then he passed over the
mountain Ficoth, even to the great plain of Bregh, thus traversing
through Midia into Lagenia; and everywhere he preached the kingdom of
God, and certain of his disciples he advanced in fit places unto the
episcopal dignity. But by how many miracles his journey was graced,
how many diseased persons he healed, severally to relate, not even the
pen of the most eloquent could suffice. For divers received health,
not only by his touch or by his prayer, but even by the passing of his
shadow, as were he another Peter. So many as were not purified by the
healing water did he labor to persuade unto baptism; so many as were
already baptized, lest their faith should be perverted by the old enemy
or subverted by heretical doctrines, did he therein confirm. And since
faith, according to the Apostle James, is "dead without works," and
since a dead faith is no faith, this blessed preacher earnestly
persuaded the believers unto a holy and sincere faith by their diligent
working of good works. But they who, proceeding in all wickedness,
condemned his doctrine, and, rebelling against God, obstinately
persevered in the worship of devils, often at his prayer were they by
the suddenness of divine justice destroyed, as our relation has
hitherto declared, and will declare in the following pages.
