.
Patricii_, cap. 32). But, apparently, neither in the Annals nor in any
other authority earlier than Jocelin, is mention made of a monastery
there before St. Malachy's time. The text seems to imply that there
were no monastic buildings on the site when he founded (or re-founded)
it. Malachy placed in his new monastery a convent of regular canons of
St. Augustine (_A.U._ 1170); but it never became an important
establishment, though it was still in existence in the sixteenth
century. See Reeves, pp. 40, 220 ff.

[798] This and the next story (Sec. 65) illustrate Malachy's power of
reading the hearts of men.

[803] _Suriensis monasterii._ The monastery of Inislounaght, close to
the River Suir, a mile or two to the west of Clonmel, co. Tipperary,
is commonly known as _De Surio_. The present passage seems to show
that it was founded before 1148. For information about it see an
article by the late Dr. Bagwell, in _J.R.S.A.I._ xxxix. 267 f. and
Janauschek, _Orig. Cist._ p. 131. This incident must have been
considerably later than the foundation of Mellifont (see p. 75, n. 4).
It may therefore be dated between 1143 and 1147.

[805] This word is constantly used in the plural of the Eucharist,
each of the elements being regarded as a "sacrament."

[806] John i. 20.

[807] Gen. xxxix. 17.

[808] This story is suggested by the last because the incident
occurred during the celebration of Mass.

[809] Evidently the cemetery in which, according to local tradition,
St. Patrick was buried (see Sec. 19). It was probably the _Ferta
Martair_, the site of St. Patrick's earlier settlement at Armagh
(Reeves, _Churches_, p. 5; _R.I.A._ xviii. 660). It seems to be hinted
that St. Malachy received a revelation of the position of his grave.
