Denique ut unum virtutis eius, unde cetera intelligi possint, testimonium referam; tempore quodam civitas Doruvernensis per culpam incuriae igni correpta, crebrescentibus coepit flammis consumi: quibus cum nullo aquarum iniectu posset aliquis obsistere, iamque civitatis esset pars vastata non minima, atque ad episcopium furens se flamma dilataret, confidens episcopus in divinum, ubi humanum deerat, auxilium, iussit se obviam saevientibus, et huc illucque volantibus ignium globis efferri.
In a word I will rehearse one token of his good power by which the rest may be understood; when upon a certain time the city of Canterbury was from fault of negligence taken with fire and began to consume away by much increasing of the flames, so that no man by any casting of water was able to stay it, the greatest part of the city being at length near burnt and the furious flashes extending themselves to the bishops palace, the bishop trusting in Gods help, where the help of man now failed, commanded that he might be carried out of his house and set against these fierce flaws of fire flying all round about.
