Quo tempore antistes provinciae illius, vocabulo Bosel, tanta erat corporis infirmitate depressus, ut officium episcopatus per se implere non posset: propter quod omnium iudicio praefatus vir in episcopatum pro eo electus, ac iubente Aedilredo rege, per Vilfridum beatae memoriae antistitem qui tunc temporis Mediterraneorum Anglorum episcopatum gerebat, ordinatus est: pro eo quod archiepiscopus Theodorus iam defunctus erat, et necdum alius pro eo ordinatus episcopus.
At which time the bishop of that province, named Bosel, was so grieved with sickness of body that he could not of himself fulfil the office of the bishopric: for which things sake by all mens judgment the foresaid man was chosen bishop in his place, and at the commandment of king Ethelred was ordained by the hands of bishop Wilfrid of blessed memory, who at that time held the bishopric of the Middle English: for that archbishop Theodore was now dead and none other as yet ordained bishop for him.
