Cum ergo videret Paulinus difficulter posse sublimitatem animi regalis, ad humilitatem viae salutaris, et suscipiendum mysterium vivificae crucis inclinari, ac pro salute illius, simul et gentis cui praeerat, et verbo exhortationis apud homines, et apud divinam pietatem verbo deprecationis ageret; tandem, ut verisimile videtur, didicit in spiritu, quod vel quale esset oraculum regi quondam caelitus ostensum.
When then Paulinus perceived that the kings loftiness of spirit could hardly be bowed to the lowliness of the way of salvation, and to receive the mystery of the quickening cross; and when he was labouring for the kings salvation as well as that of the people over whom Edwin was ruler, both by word of exhortation before men and the word of prayer before the divine goodness: at the length he learned in the spirit (for so it is most likest to be) what and of what nature was that message which had before been declared to the king from heaven.
