Ælfric, Ælfric's Lives of Saints — Of Saint Oswold
“ Then the monks were much affrighted, and prayed then in the morning that they might reverently receive the Saint, him whom they had before refused. Then they washed the holy bones, and bare them reverently to a shrine in the Church, and laid them up. And there were healed through his holy merits many infirm men of various diseases. ”

“ The holy Oswald's bones were afterwards brought after many years into Mercia to Gloucester, and God there often showed many wonders through the holy man. For this be glory to the Almighty God, who reigneth in eternity for ever and ever. Amen. ”

“ Oswald and Aidan, on the holy Easter Day; then they bare to the king the royal meats on a silver dish. And anon there came in one of the king's thegns who had charge of his alms, and said that many poor men were sitting in the streets, come from all quarters to the king's alms-giving. Then the king immediately sent to the poor the silver dish, victuals and all, and bade men cut the dish in pieces and give it to the poor, to each of them his portion, and they then did so. ”
