Quod ille ubi comperit, ecclesiam videlicet suam rebus ablatis omnibus depopulatam, divertit ad Sexuulfum Merciorum antistitem, et accepta ab eo possessione ecclesiae cuiusdam et agelli non grandis, ibidem in pace vitam finivit, nil omnino de restaurando episcopatu suo agens: quia sicut supra diximus, magis in ecclesiasticis quam in mundanis rebus erat industrius; sed in illa solum ecclesia Deo serviens, ubicumque rogabatur, ad docenda ecclesiae carmina divertens.
And when he heard hereof, namely, that his church was spoiled and all things rifled, he went away unto Sexwulf bishop of the Marchmen and received of him the possession of a certain church and piece of ground not large, and in that place ended his life in peace, not taking any care at all for the restoration of his bishopric (for, as we have above said, he was a man more zealous in ecclesiastical than in worldly matters), but serving God in that church only, and going abroad wherever he was desired, for the teaching of the hymns of the church.
