Página 20 - But their ferocity soon yielded to the exertions of the missionaries, and the harsher features of their origin were insensibly softened under the mild influence of the gospel. In the rage of victory, they learned to respect the rights of humanity. Death or slavery was no longer the fate of the conquered Britons ; by their submission, they were incorporated with the victors ; and their lives and property were protected by the equity of their Christian conquerors. * * * The...

No brother was allowed to cross the threshold of the monastery without the permission of his Superior ; at his departure he requested the prayers of the community ; at his return he lay prostrate in the church to atone for the dissipation of his thoughts during his absence. Whatever he might have seen or heard without the walls of the convent, he was...
Página 172 - Bede, in different parts of his works, has borne the most honourable testimony to their virtue. With a glowing pencil, he displays their patience, their chastity, their frequent meditation on the sacred writings, and their indefatigable efforts to attain the summit of Christian perfection. They chose for their habitation the most dreary situations ; no motives, but those of charity, could draw them from their cells ; and if they appeared in public, their object was to reconcile enemies, to instruct...
