Qui cum crescente fidei fervore saeculo abrenunciare disponeret, non hoc segniter fecit; sed adeo se mundi rebus exuit, ut relictis omnibus quae habebat, simplici tantum habitu indutus, et securim atque asciam in manu ferens, veniret ad monasterium eiusdem reverentissimi patris, quod vocatur Laestingaeu.
Who, for the great zeal of faith that increased in him, determining to renounce the world, did accomplish the same, not negligently, but in such sort unclad himself of worldly matters, that, forsaking all that he had, being clothed but with plain and poor apparel and bearing an axe and hatchet in his hand, he came to the monastery of the same most reverend father, called Lastingham.
