At vero unus de sociis eius, vocabulo Victberct, cum esset et ipse contemptu mundi ac doctrinae scientia insignis (nam multos annos in Hibernia peregrinus anachoreticam in magna perfectione vitam egerat), ascendit navem, et Fresiam perveniens duobus annis continuis genti illi ac regi eius Rathbedo verbum salutis praedicabat, neque aliquem tanti laboris fructum apud barbaros invenit auditores.
But one of his fellows named Witbert, being a man notable for contempt of the world and knowledge of learning (for he had passed many years an anchorets life in much perfection as a pilgrim in Ireland), took ship and arriving in Frisland preached the word of salvation two years in succession to that nation and Rathbod their king, but found no fruit of all his great labour amongst his barbarous hearers.
