Cui haec dicenti respondit Colmanus: Mirum quare stultum appellare velitis laborem nostrum, in quo tanti apostoli qui super pectus Domini recumbere dignus fuit, exempla sectamur; cum ipsum sapientissime vixisse omnis mundus noverit.
To whom so speaking Colman replied: I marvel wherefore you be ready to term our endeavour fond, wherein we follow the example of so excellent an apostle who was worthy to lean upon the Lords breast; seeing that all the world accounteth him to have lived most wisely.
