fluuio vbi in oceanum influit. Quidam anno vno
aut altero aegrotus decubuerat: destitutus iam viri-
bus, curauit vxor vt transferretur in dictum sacel-
lum quamuis tecto priuatum, vt Deo creatori suo ibi
pietatis causa spiritum redderet. Tota nocte re-
mansit sub dio aeger mortem expectans, sed ecce
tibi circa galli cantum obdormiscit: in somno ad-
stat senex venerabilis admodum, qui crura ipsius

stringens, surgere iubet, et domum repetere. Fecit
quod imperabatur, occurrit vxor, turbatur, spectrum
se videre existimat. Loquitur aeger vxori se esse,
non spectrum: clamat, rem narrat, tandem simul
Deo et Niniano sancto gratias agunt." (D. Camer-
arius de Fortitvdine Scotorvm, pp. 174, 175. Paris.
