_Saint Patrick prophesieth of the two Brothers._
But what the saint at the revelation of the Spirit foretold of the two
brothers should not be passed over in silence. For to the elder, who
had preferred Mammon and gold before his prayers, he predicted that he
and his seed should in a little time lose the possession of their
inheritance; and to the younger, for the devotion of his soul toward
him, predicted he many good things--that he should in that land be the
coadjutor of kings, and that of his race the holiest priests of the
Lord should be born. And none of those things which the saint foretold
in anywise failed in the event.
