Qui quoniam et doctor suavissimus et eorum quae agenda docebat erat exsecutor devotissimus, libenter auditus ab universis, immutavit piis ac sedulis exhortationibus inveteratam illam traditionem parentum eorum, de quibus apostolicum illum licet proferre sermonem, quod aemulationem Dei habebant, sed non secundum scientiam; catholicoque illos, atque apostolico more celebrationem, ut diximus, praecipuae sollemnitatis sub figura coronae perpetis agere perdocuit.
And being a teacher of a singular good grace and most devout in the practice of those things he taught should be done, he was gladly heard of all, and by godly and constant advertisements did change that tradition established of old of their fathers, touching whom we may pronounce that saying of the apostle, that they had a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge; and he taught them to keep the principal solemnity after the catholic and apostolic manner under the shape of an unending crown.
