explained the whole vision of Brigid in an admirable manner.

He resuscitated Eochaidh, son of Crimthann, from death. Eochaidh
possessed a daughter--_i.e._, Cinnu--whom her father wished to marry to a
man of noble family--_i.e._, to the son of Cormac, son of Cairpre Mac
Neill; she, walking along, met Patrick with his companions on the way.
Patrick preached to her that she unite herself to the spiritual prophet;
and she believed, and Patrick instructed her, and baptized her,

Ulster, at Sabhall-Patrick; and the death of Eochaidh was manifested to
him, and he decided on going to Clochar-mac-Daimhin, where he found

into the house where the body was, he sent out the persons who were about
the body. He bent his knees to the Lord, and shed tears; and he prayed,
and said in a clear voice: "Rise, O King Eochaidh! in the name of
Almighty God"; and immediately, at the voice of the servant of God, he
