ubi postquam aliquandiu lectionibus sacris vacavit, etiam Romam adire curavit, quod eo tempore magnae virtutis aestimabatur: et inde cum rediens Brittaniam adiisset, divertit ad provinciam Huicciorum cui tunc rex Osric praefuit; ibique verbum fidei praedicans, simul et exemplum vivendi sese videntibus atque audientibus exhibens, multo tempore mansit.
Where, after spending some time in sacred studies, he also found the means to go to Rome, which at that time was considered very meritorious. And upon returning home to Britain from Rome, he traveled to the province of the Hwiccas, which was ruled by King Osric at the time. He remained there for a long time, preaching the word of faith and setting an example of life for those who saw and heard him.
