Quotation	Locutusque est Deo amabilis Wilfrithus episcopus sociis suis, dicens: "Habete in mente et fratribus meis dicite dies antiquos, quomodo legimus in veteri lege patriarchas Deo amabiles et Israel primogenitum eius per quadrigentos annos et amplius de gente in gentem et de regno ad populum alterum, expectantes repromissionem et non desperantes, pertransierunt; necnon Moyses et Aaron et omnes prophetae Dei ab hominibus persecutiones, sperantes in Domino perpessi sunt.
Translation	Then Bishop Wilfrid the beloved of God spoke to his comrades and said, "Bear in mind and tell my brethren about the olden days, how we read in the Old Law that the patriarchs, beloved of God, and Israel His first-born, for four hundred years and more, went "from one nation to another, and from one kingdom to another," looking for His promise and not despairing. Moses and Aaron too and all the prophets of God endured the persecution of man, trusting in the Lord. (Trans. Colgrave, p. 73)
