from 1003 until his death in May 1023, and also bishop of Worcester from 1003 to 1o16, is generally held to be the author of a remarkable homily in alliterative English

prose

CONDITION (Lat. condicio, from condicere, to agree upon, arrange; not connected with conditio, from condere, conditum, to put together)
