Devil without coming to God. For it 

 is ■when he makes such a vow that a 

 man comes into membership of God's 

 family." 



§ 22. The feast of a saint that falls 

 outside Lent on a Saturday, as, for 

 instance, Cainnecli's — he has seen the 

 noonday vigil on Saturday excused 



5 in honour of Cainnech in Tallaght. 

 Ho-weyer, Maeldithmib never saw 

 relaxation as to a seland of butter 

 granted to Maelruaiu's monastery on 

 Saturday evening on account of 



10 Caindech's feast-day. He used to 

 consume all his portion of porridge 

 in morsels. 



§23. Concerningthematter of spiritual 

 direction, some think it sufficient if 

 they have merely made their confession, 

 though they do no penance afterwards. 



15 He does not approve of this. He thinks 

 it well, however, that one should show 

 them what is profitable to them, even 

 though he does not ask for confessions. 

 This is what Helair did in the matter : 



20 at first he had received manj', but he 

 ended by sending them all away, because 

 he saw that theii- penance was not 

 zealously performed, and also that they 

 concealed their sins when making con- 

 fession. After that he finally refused 

 to receive anyone at all to spiritual 

 direction. However, he would some- 

 times allow holy persons to consult him. 



§ 24. As for Maelruain he was not stiff 

 25 in refusing to receive them finally. He 

 had no great desii'e even to receive 

 Maeldithruib. Tliis is what he said : 

 "Didst thou ask permission of those 

 whom thou didst leave before coming 

 30 hither?" "Tea," said Maeldithruib.
