laity, and bring thee into a penitentiary, 

 that thou mayst be publicly put to 

 shame. It shall not avail him, how- 

 ever ; thou shalt not go into a peni- 

 tentiary, neither shall he cany thee off 

 among the laity. Thou shalt go to the 

 sacrament, and shalt continue under the 

 same rule through each fast." Satan 

 came thereafter to him and accosted 

 him, tempting him a second time, and 

 said to him : " The counsel Findio gives 

 thee -will be no great cleansing for thee. 

 This is what is good for thee to do : go 

 to Comgell, that he may pass judgment on 

 thee. " He went accordingly and confessed 

 to him, and Comgell said: "Welcome 

 indeed is thy coming : this thing will 

 not matter " ; and Comgell said to him 

 the same things as Findio had said. 

 When he came along from Benchor, 

 just then Colum Cille's curragh reached 

 harbour, and Satan persuaded him to go 

 to Columba. " Thou shalt get no cure 

 through Findio and Comgell," said he ; 

 " this is what is good for thee to do, go 

 to Columba." So he went and made his 

 confession to him, and Columba said to 

 him : ' ' Thou hast crucified Christ once of 

 thyself by sin; secondly, in the person of 

 Findio, because thou didst not believe 

 what he said by the Holy Spirit ; thirdly, 

 in the person of Comgell ; fourthly, in 

 mine. I pronounce upon thee," said 

 Colum Cille, "fifteen years of penance 

 because of the contempt thou hast shown 

 for a true limb of Christ — namely, 

 Findio." Finit. (I have written this on 

 my own account, and these two tales ; 

 and it is not in ignorance, but to set 

 them forth that we proceed in this 

 way.)
