Cum ergo episcopum defunctum ac sepultum in provincia Nordanhymbrorum audirent fratres qui in monasterio eius erant in provincia Orientalium Saxonum, venerunt illo de suo monasterio homines circiter triginta, cupientes ad corpus sui patris, aut vivere si sic Deo placeret, aut morientes ibi sepeliri: qui libenter a suis fratribus et commilitonibus suscepti, omnes ibidem superveniente praefatae pestilentiae clade defuncti sunt, excepto uno puerulo, quem orationibus patris sui a morte constat esse servatum.
When it was known in the province of Northumberland that their bishop was dead and buried, about 30 brethren of the monastery, which he erected in the province of the East Saxons, came to Lastingham from their own monastery, desiring by the body of their father either to live, if it should so please God, or to die and be buried there: who, being gladly received of their brethren and fellow-soldiers, all died in that spot with the coming upon them of the destruction of the foresaid plague, except one little boy, who (as is well known), was saved from death by the prayers of his father.
