coutLaual contriving of that same thing," 

 said Maelruain, " Let the good desires of 

 their hearts be granted to the sons of 

 life, so that their rewards may be paid 

 them according as their desires should 

 bring about those results." 



§ 26. Thereafter Maeldithruib in- 

 quired of liim, ■whether he held it 

 allowable to perform Sunday niglit's 

 penance on the Saturday, " because," 

 5 said Maelditliruib, "the laity and the 

 people of the great old churches yonder 

 are of little worth ; and if those folk 

 hear that we perform it on the [Sunday 

 night], there is no sort of trausgiession 

 10 they will not commit on the Sunday." 

 Then Maelruain gave him leave to per- 

 form it on the Saturday. 



§ 27. The regular time of tonsure. It 

 is peif ormed once a month on a Thursday : 

 if it be not reached on the Thursday, 

 it is performed on the Friday or Satur- 

 15 day. If, however, it pass the Sunday, 

 there is no tonsuring until the regular 

 time of tonsure comes again that day 

 month. This is what we received from 

 Maeli'uain. 



§ 28. He sings the Jli/mn to Michael 

 before sleeping, and the Symn to Mary 

 in the morning. He names them the 

 20 Invocation of MicJiael's Protection and 

 the Invocation of Marfs Protection re- 

 spectively. Afterwards he sings the 

 Hymn to Michael, as well as the Benli 

 and Hymnmn dicat, on Sunday at mid- 

 25 day. The Hymn to Mary, however, he 

 sings, as well as the Beati, on Sunday 

 evening. This is what he performs — 

 a hundred genuflections, [and] a cross- 

 vigil with till' Beati and Hymnmn
