Haec tunc Adamnano dixi, qui quidem quantum conspectis ecclesiarum nostrarum statutis profecisset probavit, cum reversus ad Scottiam multas postea gentis eiusdem turbas ad catholicam temporis paschalis observantiam sua praedicatione correxit: tametsi eos qui in Hii insula morabantur monachos, quibusque speciali rectoris iure praeerat, necdum ad viam statuti melioris reducere valebat.
This for that time I spoke to Adamnan, who after well shewed how much he had profited by seeing the ordinances of our churches, when after his return to Scotland he amended great number of the said country and brought them to the catholic observance of the time of Easter by his preaching: albeit he could not bring back those monks that lived in the island of Hy, over whom he had special right of governance, to the way of the better order.
