Text Vita Wilfridi (709 - 720) Stephen of Ripon
Quotation De utero enim matris suae valde religiosae ita eum sanctificatum a Deo prodigium demonstravit, sicut Hieremias audivit a Domino dicente: Priusquam te formarem in utero, novi te; et antequam exires de vulva sanctificavi te; prophetamque in gentibus posui te.
Translation For even from the womb of his most pious mother, a sign from God proved him to be sanctified, even as Jeremiah heard the Lord's word saying, "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee: and before thou earnest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." (Trans. Colgrave, p. 5)
