32 This couplet is quoted by Prince in his _Worthies of Devon_ from _Paul_ Harris, c. 5, p. 88, who thus introduces it, “of whose (Fitz-Ralph’s) sanctity the common people of Ireland by ancient tradition were wont to chaunt this distich”. In the loose papers prefixed to the _Martyrology of Donegal_, the verses are quoted from _Henry_ Harris in _Apolu_. This false reference has led Dr. Todd into a slight mistake, vide _Martyr. of Donegal_, App. to Int. p. xlii. _ 33 Collectanea Topographica et Genealogica_, vol. iv. London, 1847.

Patricii; and adds:—‘Certum est magnam olim hac in peninsula apparuisse devotionem in qua etiam varios viri sancti circulos seu cavernas maceriis introrsum circumdatas condiderunt; atque in iisdem corpuscula sua jejuniis, orationibus, aliisque disciplinis assidue domantes, auxiliumque divinae gratiae sine intermissione implorantes ac insuper Deum pro communi ecclesiae bono, conservandaque inter omnes Christianos vera concordia convenienter deprecantes’.” 46 “_Commentar._, p. 277.” 47 “Rothe apud Messingham states, that only nine persons were usually admitted into the cave.” 48 “It is matter of dispute amongst our hagiologists, whether the St. Patrick, from whose deeds of penance this island acquired its fame, was our apostle, or another subsequent saint of the same name.” 49 “_The Reduction of Ireland to the Crown of England, with the Governors_, etc., London, 1675, p. 207.” 50 “Had he taken the trouble to open the writings of Peter Lombard or Messingham, he would have seen that the limits of the cell were well known, and that _the confines of Purgatory or Hell_ existed only in the distempered imaginations of the persecutors themselves.” 51 “This valuable work has been republished, accompanied with an elegant translation and notes, by Rev. C. P. Meehan (Dublin, 1848).” 52 “_Ibid._, 61-63.”
