Fourteenth Century

"And out of there I crossed the sea"

"And there I embarked and crossed to Calais"

"I reached one of their towns called Tearmann"

"I reached the port of Dover where I saw Sir Gawain's head"

"The purgatory is in this priory and there is a great deep lake"

"We arrived at Dublin where we embarked to cross to England"

"We returned by the road to king Ó Néill who received us very well and had great joy"

"And these two had orders to take me to the archbishop of Armagh"

"For nothing in the world would I abandon this journey"

"He rebuffed me very strongly and put great fear in me"

"He strongly advised and begged me to by no means enter the purgatory"

"I at once departed from him and went to the aforesaid town and from there sent to king Ó Néill"

"I departed and crossed the deep"

"I had news that the king of England was in a great enclosed park"

"I would have to go through strange places inhabited by wild people"

"Saint Patrick had the reports set down in writing"

"The first prior of the aforesaid church"

"The prior advises them and if he sees that he cannot dissuade them from their intention"

"The whole island is surrounded by the waters of a large, very deep lake"

"As hard and wild as if they were beasts"

"I have sustained great dangers"

"Our Lord led him to a deserted place"
