Duobus autem annis in episcopatu peractis repetiit insulam ac monasterium suum, divino admonitus oraculo, quia dies sibi mortis vel vitae magis illius quae sola vita dicenda est iam adpropiaret introitus: sicut ipse quoque tempore eodem nonnullis, sed verbis obscurioribus, quae tamen postmodum manifeste intelligerentur, solita sibi simplicitate pandebat; quibusdam autem hoc idem etiam manifeste revelabat.
Now when he had passed two years in his bishopric, he went again to his isle and hermitage, being warned by a divine message that the day of his death was now at hand, or rather the entrance into that life which only should be called life: as he did himself also at the same time open unto some after his wonted simple manner, but in words of veiled meaning, yet such as afterwards should be plainly understood; to certain men, however, he did discover this same thing even plainly.
