He conjured the evil spirit with abundance of prayers offered up by the monks. But the devil does not suffer himself to be easily dispossessed from a place in which he has fixed his garrison. In proportion as they redoubled the exorcisms he redoubled the temptations; so that day and night the bell was ringing full swing, announcing the extreme desire for mortification which the penitent experienced.
Conjuró al espíritu maligno con gran acompañamiento de plegarias hechas por los monjes; pero el diablo no se deja desposeer fácilmente de una plaza en la que ha sentado sus reales; a medida que redoblaban los exorcismos, redoblaba él las tentaciones; de suerte que día y noche la campana repicaba anunciando el extremo deseo de mortificación que experimentaba el penitente.
