1), he was still abbot.

[586] St. Bernard's secretary, Geoffrey, recalls this sentence (_V.P._ iii. 1). He mentions the saint's many miracles and then proceeds, "But, as he himself says, in commendation of St. Malachy, the first and greatest miracle that he displayed was himself." About half of the present section is embodied by Gerlatus in his description of the character of G.o.dscalcus (_M.G.H._, Scr. xvii. 700).

[593] This statement must be accepted with some reserve. Malachy must have had personal property while he was coarb of Patrick. And accordingly Serm. i. - 6, connects his voluntary poverty with his episcopate in Down, and above (- 21) his departure from Armagh is represented as a return to poverty. The context shows that St. Bernard is here thinking of the period when he was legate.
