7. It happened after this that he gave a cauldron belonging to the
king, as he had nothing else to give to poor folk asking of him an
alms. When the king heard what had been done, he was greatly enraged,
and commanded his people to bring Saint Keranus to him in bonds. When
he was led to the king, he gave sentence that he should be reduced to
servitude, and be set apart for grinding at the quern. But God, having
regard to the humiliation of His servant, caused the mill to be moved
of itself without human hand, and left Ciaran free to chant his
Psalms. After a few days coppersmiths from the land of the Mumunienses
brought three cooking-pots with them, and offered them to Saint
Keranus. Giving thanks for these to God, he was delivered from the
yoke of servitude.
