_The Miraculous Rising of the Sea between the Contending People._
And at the sight of such a miracle, the people could not be restrained
from their contention, for the fury of their wrath and the violence of
their minds which governed them they imputed to their devotion toward
the saint. And on the twelfth day a deadly and perilous contention
arose between the two people of Ulydia and Ardmachia about the sacred
body. And while arrayed in armor they rose unto arms, they heard a
voice from heaven, which seemed as the voice of Saint Patrick, staying
their violence; and the sea, rising above its wonted bounds, reared
itself as a wall, and separated the contending people, so that they
could neither behold nor attack one the other; and thus corporeally
separated, united them unto the concord of mutual peace. Then the
people being restrained from their fury, the waters surceased from
their fury also.
