Tantus autem fertur tune fuisse fervor fidei ac desiderium lavacri salutaris gente Nordanhymbrorum, ut quodam tempore Paulinus veniens cum rege et regina in villam regiam quae vocatur Adgefrin, triginta sex diebus ibidem cum eis catechizandi et baptizandi officio deditus moraretur; quibus diebus cunctis a mane usque ad vesperam nil aliud ageret quam confluentem eo de cunctis viculis ac locis plebem Christi verbo salutis instruere, atque instructam in fluvio Gleni, qui proximus erat, lavacro remissionis abluere.
And, as is reported, then was the fervour of faith and earnest desire of the health-giving laver so great among the people of the Northumbrians, that on a certain time, when Paulinus came with the king and queen to the royal township which is called Adgefrin, he stayed in that place with them thirty-six days, only occupied in catechizing and instructing: in each of the which days he did nothing else from morning till evening but instruct the commons which flocked thither out of all places and villages thereabout in the word of Christs salvation, whom after he had thus instructed he cleansed in the flood Glen, for that was the next near water, with the laver of remission.
