Sivu 192 - The discretion of a man deferreth his anger ; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
Sivu 44 - ... it into tillage, in all things looking forward to the benefit likely to accrue to the abbey ; but I wish he had been as careful when he held the manors of the Convent in commendam. Nevertheless, he for a time kept our manors of Bradfield and Rougham in hand, making up the deficiencies of the farms by the expenditure of forty pounds ; these he afterwards re-assigned to us, when he heard that dissatisfaction was expressed in the Convent, on account of his keeping our manors in his own hand. Likewise...
Sivu 62 - An eloquent man was he, both in French and Latin, but intent more on the substance and method of what was to be said than on the style of words. He could read English books most admirably, and was wont to preach to the people in English, but in the dialect of Norfolk, where he was born and bred ; and so he caused a pulpit to be set up in the church for the ease of the hearers, and for the ornament of the church. The abbot also seemed to prefer an active life to one of contemplation, and rather commended...
Sivu 43 - He also enclosed many parks, which he replenished with beasts of chase, keeping a huntsman with dogs ; and, upon the visit of any person of quality, sat with his monks in some walk of the wood, and sometimes saw the coursing of the dogs ; but I never saw him take part in the sport.
Sivu 227 - Fuller, in his Worthies, says, " Whereas pedibus ambulando is accounted but a vexatious suit in other counties, here (where men are said to study law as following the plough-tail) some would persuade us that they will enter an action for their neighbour's horse but looking over their hedge.
Sivu xxiv - ... to all that have humanity! The man is of patient, peaceable, loving, clear-smiling nature; open for this and that. A wise simplicity is in him; much natural sense; a veracity that goes deeper than words. Veracity: it is the basis of all; and, some say, means genius itself; the prime essence of all genius whatsoever.
Sivu 178 - ... which his servants had borrowed from our sacrist, and to this day have not paid for. He availed himself of the hospitality of St. Edmund, which was attended with enormous expense, and upon his departure bestowed nothing at all, either of honour or profit, upon the saint, save thirteen pence sterling, which he offered at his mass on the day of his departure.
Sivu 61 - He abhorred liars, drunkards and talkative folk ; for virtue ever is consistent with itself and rejects contraries. He also much condemned persons given to murmur at their meat or drink, and particularly monks who were dissatisfied therewith, himself adhering to the uniform course he had practised when a monk. He had likewise this virtue in himself, that he never changed the mess set before him.
Sivu 148 - Whilst, therefore, many were saying and believing that the King was exasperated against the abbot, lo ! the King wrote in a friendly way to the abbot, and requested that he would give him some of his dogs. The abbot, not unmindful of that saying of the wise man — Gifts, believe me, influence both men and gods, By the offer of gifts Jove himself is appeased — sent the dogs as the King requested, and moreover, added some horses and other valuable gifts. The King graciously accepted them, and in...
Sivu 73 - I, however, pretended to be Scotch, and putting on the garb of a Scotchman, and taking the gesture of one, walked along; and when anybody mocked at me, I would brandish my staff in the manner of that weapon they call gaveloc, 1 uttering comminatory words after the way of the Scotch.
