Cum ergo veniret ad eum longo post tempore, gratia visitationis, de Brittania vir sanctissimus et continentissimus, vocabulo Hygbald, qui erat abbas in provincia Lindissi, et ut sanctos decebat, de vita priorum patrum sermonem facerent, atque hanc aemulari gauderent, intervenit mentio reverentissimi antistitis Ceadda; dixitque Ecgberct: Scio hominem in hac insula adhuc in carne manentem, qui cum vir ille de mundo transiret, vidit animam Ceddi fratris ipsius cum agmine angelorum descendere de caelo, et adsumta secum anima eius, ad caelestia regna redire.
When then a long time after there came to visit him from Britain a most holy and virtuous man, named Hygbald, who was an abbot in the province of Lindsey, and they talked together, as becometh holy men to do, of the life of former fathers, and gladly would wish to follow the same, they fell upon mention of the most reverend bishop Chad; and Egbert said: I know a man yet remaining in the flesh in this island, who, when Chad passed out of the world, did see the soul of his brother Cedd with a company of angels descend from heaven, and take up his soul with them and return again to the heavenly realms.
