Haec epistola cum praesente rege Naitono, multisque viris doctioribus, esset lecta, ac diligenter ab his qui intelligere poterant in linguam eius propriam interpretata, multum de eius exhortatione gavisus esse perhibetur; ita ut exsurgens de medio optimatum suorum consessu genua flecteret in terram, Deo gratias agens, quod tale munusculum de terra Anglorum mereretur accipere.
When this epistle had been read in the presence of king Naiton, and many learned men, and carefully translated into the kings native tongue by them that were able to understand it, he much rejoiced at the exhortation thereof, as it is reported; so much that rising from the midst of his nobles that sat about him, he fell upon his knees and gave God thanks that it was vouchsafed him to have such a gift from the land of the English.
