To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is strange that after such repeated care and the reading of the life by so many persons, no doubt what- ever is thrown on any of the miracles told of a man who had died so short a time before. One of them is so curious that Baeda thinks it may be questioned. The passage is marked by his happy simplicity, and yet by a sudden stirring in him of his desire of truth. It illustrates, then, on two sides, his literary character. Cuthbert, troubled by a swelling in his knee, is prescribed for by a m...an on horseback clothed in white robes and of an honourable aspect. He follows the prescription and gets well. "At once," says Baeda, "he perceived that it was an angel." Then he considers the matter and adds, "If any one think it incredible that an angel should appear on horseback, let him read in the history of the Maccabees," and he alludes to the story of Heliodorus which Rafifaelle has so nobly painted. It is also woi-th saying, for it still further illustrates his literary character, especially as an historian, that, when he is speaking in his own person, he has no knowl- edge of the miraculous.
