84 HoIy Ghost before the world began, and now and for ever and ever. Amen.

61. Behold, again and again, I shall briefly declare the words of my confession. I testify in truth and in joy of heart, before God and His holy angels, that I never had any motive, except the Gospel and His promises, for ever returning to that nation from whom on a former occasion I with difficulty escaped.

62. But I beseech those who believe and fear God, whosoever shall have deigned to look into or receive this document, which Patrick the sinner, unlearned, as is manifest, wrote in Ireland, that no one ever say that it was my ignorance that did whatever little I have done or demonstrated according to God's will, but consider ye, and let it be most truly believed, that it was the gift of God. And this is my confession before I die.
