He conjured the evil spirit with abundance of prayers offered up by the monks. But the devil does not suffer himself to be easily dispossessed from a place in which he has fixed his garrison. In proportion as they redoubled the exorcisms he redoubled the temptations; so that day and night the bell was ringing full swing, announcing the extreme desire for mortification which the penitent experienced.
Il conjura l'esprit malin à grand renfort de prières faites par les moines; mais le diable ne se laisse pas déposséder facilement d'une place où il a mis garnison; à mesure qu'on redoublait les exorcismes, il redoublait les tentations, de sorte que jour et nuit la cloche sonnait à toute volée, annonçant l'extrême désir de mortification qu'éprouvait le pénitent.
