Ní taibre grád for nech causa a pectha ꝉ a chaíngníma: ar biit alaili and ro·finnatar a pecthe resíu do·coí grád forru; alaili is íarum ro·finnatar. Berir dano fri láa brátha- You sg should not confer orders on anyone because of his sin or of his good deed: for there are some whose sins are known before their ordination, others whose are known afterwards.
