Sunt autem Fresones, Rugini, Danai, Hunni, Antiqui Saxones, Boructuari: sunt alii perplures eisdem in partibus populi paganis adhuc ritibus servientes, ad quos venire praefatus Christi miles circumnavigata Brittania disposuit, si quos forte ex illis ereptos Satanae ad Christum transferre valeret; vel si hoc fieri non posset, Romam venire ad videnda atque adoranda beatorum apostolorum ac martyrum Christi limina cogitavit.
Such now are the Frisons, Rugins, Danes, Huns, Old Saxons, and Boructuars: there are very many other nations in the same parts, observing yet the rites of paynims, to whom the foresaid soldier of Christ purposed to go after he had sailed round about Britain, if haply he might be able to deliver any of them from Satan and trade them toward Christ; or if this could not come to pass, he thought to come to Rome to see and to worship the churches of the blessed apostles and martyrs of Christ.
