however aged they may be, rather than 

 that to do anything that might be 

 death to thy soul, or shouldest fail to 

 do penance for thy soul's sins. Some, 

 however, make false confessions about 

 themselves, in order to increase the 

 penance laid upon them ; but this is 

 not right. 



§ 65. Xow, to eat a meal with a dead 

 man (though saintly) in the house is 

 5 forbidden ; but instead there are to be 

 prayers and psalm-singing on such occa- 

 sions. Even one in orders who brings 

 the sacrament to a sick man is obliged 

 to go out of the house at once thereafter, 



]0 that the sick man die not in his pre- 

 sence ; for if he be present in the house 

 at the death, it would not be allowable 

 for him to perfonn the sacrifice until a 

 bishop sliould consecrate him. It hap- 



15 pened once on a time to Diarmait and 

 to Blathmac mac Flaind that it was in 

 their hands that Curui expired. When 

 he died, they were about to perform 

 the sacrifice thereafter, without being 

 reconsecrated, till Colchu hindered them 

 from doing so. The authority is Levi- 

 ticus ; and Diarmait also, the Abbot 

 of lona, was with him on that occasion. 

 § 66. Once upon a time a certain 

 monk went on a journey to Findio mac 



20 Fiatach. A woman happened to meet 

 him on the journey, et postulavit ilia 

 concuhitum etns. She laid hands upon 

 him at last, and there befell intercourse 

 by tryst between them. Immediately 



25 thereafter he did not stay to wipe the 

 tear from his cheek, till he came to Findio 

 and confessed to him his fault. Findio 

 said : " That shall not matter. A demon 

 lias contrived it," said he, " to carry thee 



30 off from us, and to set thee among the
