| | St. Cuthbert |
 | | Cuthbert washed the feet of others and served them with wonderful humility and meekness, always remembering that Christ himself is served in his members: and he was most careful that the functions of Martha should never impair his spirit of recollection. |
 | | Cuthbert built himself a hut with a wall and trench about it, and, by his prayers, obtained a well of fresh water in his own cell. |
 | | When the shrine of the saint was plundered and demolished by the order of King Henry VIII, the body of St. Cuthbert, which was found still entire, as Harpsfield testifies, met with greater regard than many others; for it was not burnt, as were those of St. Edmund, king and martyr, St. Thomas, and others. |
