Besides, I guess we are as far from perfection as when we set out a roin for it. You may get PURITY OF ELECTION, but how are you to get PURITY OF MEMBERS? It would take a great deal of cyphering to tell that. I never see'd it yet, and never heerd tell of one who had see'd it. The best member I een amost ever seed was John Adams.

Fourteen years later "Leinster was five times devastated by the Ui-Neill," the descendants of Nial, and a battle was fought between the men of Connacht and Munster. Thus the lives of saints and warriors were interwoven. On very rare occasions the two lives of the race came into collision. Thus, a quarrel arose between Congus the Abbot and Aed Roin king of Ulad.

Congus summoned to his aid the chief of the Ui-Neill, Aed Allan by name, in these verses: "Say to the cold Aed Allan that I have been oppressed by a feeble enemy: Aed Roin insulted me last night at Cill Cunna of the sweet music." Aed Allan made these verses on his way to battle to avenge the insult: "For Cill Cunna the church of my spiritual father, I take this day a journey on the road.

Aed Roin shall leave his head with me, Or I shall leave my head with him." The Leinstermen collected the greatest number they were able, to defend their rights against him. The king Aed Allan himself went into the battle, and the chieftains of the north along with him. The chieftains of Leinster came with their kings into the battle, and bloodily and heroically was the battle fought between them.
