Neque unquam prorsus ex quo Brittaniam petierunt Angli, feliciora fuere tempora; dum et fortissimos Christianosque habentes reges cunctis barbaris nationibus essent terrori, et omnium vota ad nuper audita caelestis regni gaudia penderent, et quicumque lectionibus sacris cuperent erudiri, haberent in promptu magistros qui docerent.
Neither was there ever since the English first came to Britain, any time more happy than at that present; when they both had most valiant and Christian kings and were feared of all barbarous nations, and the desires of all were wholly bent to the late joyful tidings of the kingdom of heaven, and if any desired to be instructed in the reading of Holy Scripture there lacked not masters ready to teach them.
