Text	Vita Wilfridi (709 - 720) Stephen of Ripon
Quotation	Audiens autem Alchfrithus, qui cum Oswiu patre suo regnabat, talem servum Dei cum suis sociis de apostolica sede venisse et verum pascha praedicantem et sancti Petri apostoli ecclesiae disciplinam multiplicem didicisse, quam maxime rex diligebat, suadente sibi fideli amico Coenowalcho Occidentalium Saxonum rege; et ideo ad se venire iussit. (...) Postea rex adiuravit eum per Dominum et per sanctum Petrum apostolum, ut esset cum eo, ut sibi et omni populo, organo spiritali de se canente, verbum Dei praedicaret.
Translation	When Alhfrith, who was reigning with his father Oswiu, heard that so worthy a servant of God had come from the Apostolic See with his companions, preaching the true Easter rule and thoroughly conversant with the manifold discipline of the Church of St Peter the Apostle which the king greatly loved, he accepted the advice of his faithful friend, Coenwalh, King of the West Saxons, and ordered Wilfrid to come into his presence. (...) Afterwards the king adjured him, by the Lord and the holy Apostle Peter, to stay with him and preach the word to himself and to all the nation, the music of the Spirit sounding through him.
