Audivimus autem et fama est celeberrima, quia fuerit in gente vestra rex mirandae sanctitatis, vocabulo Osuald, cuius excellentia fidei et virtutis, etiam post mortem, virtutum frequentium operatione claruerit: precorque, si aliquid reliquiarum illius penes te habes, adferas mihi, si forte mihi Dominus per eius meritum misereri voluerit.
Now we have heard and it is very commonly reported that there hath been in your nation a king of wonderful holiness, called Oswald, the excellency of whose faith and virtue, yea, after death, hath become well known by the performance of many mighty works: and I beseech you, if you have any of his relics in your keeping, to bring it to me, in case it may be so that the Lord will be pleased to have mercy upon me through his merits.
