Volens autem latius demonstrare divina dispensatio, quanta in gloria vir Domini Cudberct post mortem viveret, cuius ante mortem vita sublimis crebris etiam miraculorum patebat indiciis, transactis sepulturae eius annis undecim, immisit in animo fratrum ut tollerent ossa illius, quae more mortuorum consumpto iam et in pulverem redacto corpore reliquo, sicca invenienda putabant: atque in novo recondita loculo, in eodem quidem loco, sed supra pavimentum dignae venerationis gratia locarent.
Now the dispensation of God willing to shew more largely abroad in how great glory Cuthbert the man of the Lord lived after his death (whose high godly life before his death was manifested by many signs and miracles), did put it into the minds of the brethren eleven years past after his burial to take up his bones, thinking to find them all dry, the rest of the body being now consumed and brought to dust, as dead bodies commonly are: and so intending to put them in a new coffin and lay them in the same place, but above the pavement for the more reverence due thereunto.
