practice of Siadal mac Testa of Aid 

 Mor : — It was forbidden (?) that any- 

 one of his monastery should drink a 

 drop after passing his water. This had 

 been also the practice of Ciiminc Fota : 

 this is also the practice of Clemens mac 

 Nuadat — if he were overtaken by jollity 

 or tipsiness through drinking beer or a 

 goblet of mead, when this happened to 

 him, he had to fast the next night 

 immediately thereafter. 



§ 41. A groat that is given to a lad or 

 young man for accompanying someone in 

 a sin of lust, or to a woman ; if the lad or 

 the woman do penance thereafter for that 

 sin, he considers it proper in regard to 

 that groat to give their price to the 

 poor. He does not hold it admissible,

Ni hidan da«o 15 however, to give it back to the person 



by whom it was given in the first 

 instance. But he does not consider it 

 clean dealing for the person to whom it 

 is given to keep possession of it, 

 because it is given as the price of sin. 



§ 42. He does not consider it forbidden 

 that an ewer of water should be provided 

 20 for one who is on bread and water. 

 This is what Maelruain said to Maoldi- 

 thruib : " A year of cleansing with 

 us here," said he, "to be on bread 

 and water for the thrice forty nights : 

 immurffu do loim midc do chumasc ar 25 a sip of whey-water on Sunday, if it 



chance to be ready." However, it was 

 permitted him to mix a sip of whey 

 with water in summer-lent. 



§ 43. This is their practice : to wash 

 their hands after plying the scourge, 

 whether it be to read aloud the gospels 

 3Q that a man goes after doing penance, 

 or whether it be to the kitchen, or 

 to any other matter — he washes his 

 hands.
