xi. 6, _horribilis spiritus procellarum_: apparently a conflation of the vg. with another rendering. A.V. has _an horrible tempest_. [417] Virg., _Aen._ i. 91. [418] Exod. iv. 19; Matt. ii. 20, etc. [419] Job iii. 6 (vg.). [420] Rom. xiii. 12. [421] _Spiritus._ Cp. the "spirit of tempests" in Sec. 22 (end). [422] Ps. cii. 10. [423] _Song of Three Children_, 27. [424] Ecclus. xxxv. 16 (inexact quotation). [425] Exod. x. 23 (inexact quotation). [426] 2 Kings xviii. 41 ff.; Jas. v. 18. [427] 2 Kings i. 9-12. [428] John xiii. 31. [429] This date is incorrect. The entry into the city of Armagh cannot have taken place before October 1134, when Malachy was in his fortieth (possibly thirty-ninth) year. His entry into the province (Sec. 21) was probably made in his thirty-eighth year. This was no doubt the cause of St. Bernard's error; for one of his documents may, like _A.F.M._ (p. 48, n. 3), have used words which seemed to imply that he entered Armagh on that earlier occasion. [430] If "the king" was Cormac Mac Carthy (p. 51, n. 2), the statement that he returned home shortly after Malachy obtained possession of the see, is confirmed by _A.F.M._ For they record, under 1134, the consecration of Cormac's Chapel on the rock of Cashel. [431] Wisd. iii. 1. [432] 2 Cor. vii. 5. [433] Ps. ii. 2; Acts iv. 26. [434] The flight of Niall seems clearly to imply that he was in the city of Armagh. The natural inference is that "having been driven out" he was afterwards reinstated. This may have happened while Malachy was absent on a visitation of Munster, mentioned in _A.F.M._, but apparently unknown to St. Bernard. The statement of the latter, that Malachy "remained" in Armagh, ignores it. See further, Additional Note C, p. 168 f. [435] The _Book of Armagh_, now in the Library of Trinity College, Dublin. The manuscript was written at Armagh early in the ninth century by a scribe named Ferdomnach; but at an early date it came to be supposed that it was the work of St. Patrick himself. From this belief, perhaps, arose the name by which it was known for many centuries, and which can be traced back to the year 936--the Canon of Patrick. It is strange that it should be called here a "copy of the Gospels"; for in addition to the complete text of the New Testament it contains two lives of St. Patrick, his _Confession_ and other historical documents. But the word _Gospel_ was very loosely used in Irel
