IV. C. XXVI.
A. D. 679. Swered, " I was afraid to do it, out of respect to you, lest you should be too much afflicted ; yet you may have this comfort, that the calamity will not happen in your days. " This vision being divulged abroad, the inha- bitants of that place were for a few days in some little fear, and leaving off their sins, began to punish them- selves; but after the abbess's death, they returned to their former wickedness, nay, they became more wicked; and when they thought themselv...es in peace and security, they soon felt the effects of the aforesaid judgment.
That all this fell out thus, was told me by my most reverend fellow-priest, Edgils, who then lived in that monaster}^ Afterwards, when many of the inhabitants had departed thence, on account of the destruction, he lived a long time in our monastery, and died there. We have thought fit to insert this in our History, to admonish the reader of the works of our Lord, how terrible he is in his counsels on the sons of men, lest we should at some time or other indulge in the pleasures of the flesh, and dreading the judgment of God too little, fall under his sudden wrath, and either be severely afflicted with temporal losses, or else being more severely tried, be snatched away to eternal perdition.
