Quo tempore fratres qui erant in Fresia verbi ministerio mancipati, elegerunt ex suo numero virum modestum moribus et mansuetum corde Suidberctum qui eis ordinaretur antistes, quem Brittaniam destinatum ad petitionem eorum ordinavit reverentissimus Vilfrid episcopus, qui tunc forte patria pulsus in Merciorum regionibus exulabat.
And at that time his brethren which were in Frisland, being bent to the ministry of the word, chose out of their company a man sober in outward behaviour and humble of heart, called Swidbert, to be ordained their bishop, whom being sent for that purpose into Britain, the most reverend bishop Wilfrid (living then it chanced as a banished man out of his country in the coasts of the Marchmen) did ordain at their request.
