But at length so it chanced, that the foresaid Hugh earle of Chester fell sicke, and despairing of life, sent with all spéed to An|selme, requiring him most instantlie to come ouer to him lieng in extremitie of sickenesse; adding, that if he hasted no [...] the sooner, it would be too late, where|of he would after repent him. Then Anselme, for that he might not faile his fréend in such necessitie, came ouer, and gaue order to the abbeie, according as it séemed best to him for the establishment of reli|gion there.

Thus farre William Rufus.
