Life of St. Declan of Ardmore (Author: Patrick Power)
chapter 44
With this extraordinary miracle wrought by
Declan we wish to
conclude our discourse. The number of miracles he wrought,
p.69
but which are not written here, you are to judge and gather from what we have
written. And we wish moreover that you would understand that he
healed the infirm, that he gave sight to the eyes of the blind,
cleansed lepers, and gave 'their walk' to cripples; that he obtained
hearing for the deaf, and that he healed many and various diseases in
many different places throughout Ireland—(things) which are not
written here because of their length and because they are so numerous
to record, for fear it should tire readers to hear so much said of
one particular person. On that account we shall pass them by.
