Diarmait
Martyrological notice
Mochutu blessed Diarmait. Then came the turn of the community of -Clonmacnois. They went to their cells. Came the turn of the com munity of Cluain Cuangusa at the end of Ardgal. " I will go," says their erenagh, "to expel him." Then the erenagh of Cluain Con- gussa goes to expel Mochutu. "Wilt thou expel me?" says Mochutu. " Thou shalt not be in the abbot's seat," says the cleric. " Thou shalt have neither heaven .nor earth," says Mochutu; "and may thy erenagh always be a servant of wisps and mockery in assemblies and meetings ! J> " Woe to him who takes thee and by whom thou art taken ! " says the prior of Cell ached. " A blessing," says Mochutu ; " and with thee will be the dignity of thy church." " Take him away," says the sub-erenagh of Clonmacnois : "let not the fellow delay, a wordy log (?) in the church." " May neither heaven nor earth be thine," says Mochutu, " and cold and hunger carry off thy successor always ! " " 'Tis a great pity what ye do," says the prior of Durrow. "'Tis thou (says Mochutu) who will be prior and erenagh always in thy place." " Drag him down ! " says the erenagh of Durrow. " Hatred of thy congregation upon thee (says Mochutu), and on thy successor always ! and may a finger be always needed to teach thee in meeting and to teach thy successor."
