Cum ergo praedicante verbum Dei Paulino rex credere differret, et per aliquod tempus, ut diximus, horis competentibus solitarius sederet, quid agendum sibi esset, quae religio sequenda sedulus secum ipse scrutari consuesset, ingrediens ad eum quadam die vir Dei, imposuit dexteram capiti eius, et an hoc signum agnosceret requisivit.
When therefore Paulinus for all his preaching of the word of God found that the king slacked to believe, using yet for some space at divers fitting hours to sit solitary (as we have said before) and diligently to examine with himself what were best for him to do, what religion were best to be followed, the man of God entering the presence of the king on a certain day, laid his right hand on his head and asked him whether he acknowledged that sign or no.
