Quotation	Sunt enim hic in Britannia multi episcopi, quorum nullum meum est accussare, quamvis veraciter sciam quod quattuordecimani sunt ut Brittones et Scotti; ab illis sunt ordinati, quos nec apostolica sedes in communionem recipit neque eos qui scismaticis consentiunt. (...) Qui omnes eum propter fidem suam indicatam gratanter et honorifice coram omni populo publice ordinaverunt et in sella aurea sedentem more eorum sursum elevaverunt, portantes manibus soli episcopi intra oratorium, nullo alio attingente, hymnos canticaque in choro canentes
Translation	Now there are here in Britain many bishops whom it is not for me to criticize, but I know for a fact that they are Quarto- decimans like the Britons and Scots; by them were ordained men whom the Apostolic See does not receive into communion, nor does she even receive those who have fellowship with the schismatics. (...) When they heard the testimony to his faith they all joyfully consecrated him publicly before all the people with great state, and raising him aloft in ac- cordance with their custom as he sat in the golden chair, the bishops unaided and alone carried him with their own hands into the oratory, chanting hymns and songs in chorus.
