ERAT Willelmus Dunelmensis Episcopus secundus, moribus insignis, staturâ & canitie venerabilis, hospitalitatis obsequio deditus, & cotidia∣nis eleemosinis ut pauperum necessitatibus subveniret intentus. Cùmque mi∣nus antecessoribus vel successoribus Episcopis haberet; non tamen minùs glo∣riâ enituit, quos copiâ simul & largitione praecessit; manu namque fructifi∣cans largitatem opibus vendicabat meliorem. Paulò iracundior tantùm in moribus videbatur excedere; Monachis aut Provincialibus molestiam nullam retribuit; nec Ecclesiae possessiones aut ornamenta contulit: In sui tamen re∣linquens memoriam illibatae innocentiae perseverantiam. Transactisque in Episcopatu IX. annis, dormivit cum patribus suis anno ab Incarnatione Do∣mini MCLII.
