Qui quoniam cantandi in ecclesia erat peritissimus, recuperata postmodum pace in provincia, et crescente numero fidelium, etiam magister ecclesiasticae cantionis iuxta morem Romanorum seu Cantuariorum multis coepit existere: et ipse senex ac plenus dierum, iuxta scripturas, patrum viam secutus est.
Who because he was cunning in singing in church, when the country was afterwards become quiet again, and the company of the faithful was increasing, also began to be a master to many of church music according to the fashion of the Romans and Kentish men; and he himself when old and full of days, according to the words of Scripture, followed the way which his fathers went.
