" Tell my people," said the duke, " that you have seen me borne to Paradise by devils ;" a speech which shows how far toleration bad spread in those days. Bobert found a large number of pilgrims outside the city unable to pay the entrance money. He paid for all, and after signalizing himself by numerous acts of charity he returned, dying on the way in Bithynia, regretting only that he had not died sooner, at the sacred shrine itself.

Thus Saint Macarius of Armenia, bishop of Antioch, learned Arabic and Hebrew, and going to Jerusalem began to preach to the Jews and Saracens. Of course he was beaten and thrown into prison. And we need not record the miracles that happened to him therein. Bichard, Abbot of Saint Vitou,-left Normandy at the head of seven hundred pilgrims, with whom was Saint Gervinus.
