In huius ergo vertice sanctus Albanus dari sibi a Deo aquam rogavit, statimque incluso meatu ante pedes eius fons perennis exortus est, ut omnes agnoscerent etiam torrentem martyri obsequium detulisse: neque enim fieri poterat ut in arduo montis cacumine martyr aquam quam in fluvio non reliquerat, peteret, si hoc opportunum esse non videret.
Unto the top whereof when he was ascended, Saint Alban required of God to give him water, and straightway there arose a spring of fair flowing water narrowed in his channel, whereby all might perceive that the river too before had done obedience to the martyr: for it might not have been that he which had left no water in the stream would have required it on the high top of the mountain, but that he saw that it was expedient.
