IX. <De imperio regis Eduini, et ut ueniens ad euangelizandum ei Paulinus primo filiam eius cum aliis
fidei Christianae sacramentis imbuerit>.
1. Quo tempore etiam gens Nordanhymbrorum, hoc est ea natio Anglorum quae ad aquilonalem
Humbrae fluminis plagam habitabat, cum rege suo Eduino uerbum fidei praedicante Paulino, cuius
supra meminimus, suscepit. Cui uidelicet regi, in auspicium suscipiendae fidei et regni caelestis, potestas etiam terreni creuerat imperii, ita ut quod nemo Anglorum ante eum, omnes Brittaniae fines, qua uel ipsorum uel Brettonum prouinciae habitabant, sub dicione acciperet. |
| Translation |
9. About Edwin's reign and how Paulinus came to preach the gospel to him; how he first administered the sacraments of the Christian faith to Edwin's daughter as well as to others.
At this time the Northumbrian race, that is the English race which dwelt north of the river Humber, together with their king Edwin, also accepted teh word of faith through the preaching of Paulinus already mentioned. The king's earthly power had increased as an augury that he was to become a believer and have a share in the heavenly kingdom. So, like no other English king before him, he held under his sway the whole realm of Britain, not only English kingdoms but those ruled over by the Britons as well. (Translation: Colgrave/Mynors, pp. 119, 163) |
