Eo tempore gens Occidentalium Saxonum qui antiquitus Gevissae vocabantur, regnante Cynegilso fidem Christi suscepit, praedicante illis verbum Birino episcopo, qui cum consilio papae Honorii venerat Brittaniam, promittens quidem se illo praesente in intimis ultra Anglorum partibus quo nullus doctor praecessisset, sanctae fidei semina esse sparsurum.
At that time the people of the West Saxons (who of old time were called Gewissas) received the faith of Christ in the reign of Cynegils, Birinus the bishop preaching to them the word, who had come to Britain with the consent of pope Honorius, promising in his presence that he would sow the seeds of the holy faith in the heart of the coasts of the English beyond, whither no teacher had gone before him.
