Nam et ipse episcopus Acca cantator erat peritissimus, quomodo etiam in literis sanctis doctissimus, et in catholicae fidei confessione castissimus, in ecclesiasticae quoque institutionis regulis sollertissimus exstiterat; et usquedum praemia piae devotionis accipiat, existere non desistit: utpote qui a pueritia in clero sanctissimi ac Deo dilecti Bosa, Eboracensis episcopi, nutritus atque eruditus est; deinde ad Vilfridum episcopum spe melioris propositi adveniens, omnem in eius obsequio usque ad obitum illius explevit aetatem: cum quo etiam Romam veniens, multa illic quae in patria nequiverat ecclesiae sanctae institutis utilia didicit.
For bishop Acca was himself too a very skilful musician as well as also well learned in Holy Scripture, most sound in the confession of the catholic faith, and beside had become very expert in the rules of ecclesiastical discipline; and so doth he not cease to be until he receive the rewards of his godly devotion: seeing that from a child he was brought up and instructed among the clergy of the most holy Bosa, beloved of God, bishop of York; and afterwards coming to bishop Wilfrid upon hope of better advantage he spent all his life in his service until Wilfrids death; and going to Rome also with him he learned there many things profitable to the ordinances of the holy Church, which he had not been able to attain unto in his own country.
