In these headings we find the following:-- "5.

De aetate ejus quando iens videre Sedem Apostolicam voluit discere sapientiam." "6.

De inventione Sancti Germani in Galiis et ideo non exivit ultra." Dr.Todd, by joining these two separate titles, with more ingenuity than fairness, has made it appear that "St.Patrick desired to visit the Apostolic See, and there to learn wisdom, but that meeting with St.
Germanus in Gaul he went no further."[124] Even could the headings of two separate chapters be thus joined together, the real meaning of _et ideo non exivit ultra_ would be, that St.Patrick never again left Germanus,--a meaning too obviously inadmissible to require further comment.

But it is well known that the life of St.Patrick which bears the name of Probus, is founded almost verbally on the text of Macutenius, and this work supplies the missing chapters.

They clearly relate not only the Roman mission of the saint, but also the saint's love of Rome, and his desire to obtain from thence "due authority" that he might "preach with confidence." [Illustration: ANCIENT SWORD, FROM THE COLLECTION OF THE R.I.A., FOUND AT HILLSWOOD, CO.
