Comment:: The English title is simpler, as is the narrative. The more striking omissions from the vita are 134.3-9 'abbas autem cum persensisset . . . in ordine sibi pandere coepit' and 134.14-19 'non aliter . . . arbitraretur'. Instead of the reported speeches included within 134.21-136.3 'cum ut adsolebant . . . confiteri iussit', the story is recast with dialogue: the details depart significantly from the source.

Comment:: Whereas Colgrave's edition has two chapters here, in the English life this is a single chapter headed simply 'be þam halgan biscope sancte Hæddan'. The English does not always correspond closely, and indirect speech is sometimes transposed into direct speech. A few groups of lines are without any corresponding English: 142.21-24 'et illic pseudo-anachoritas . . . nesciens conperit'; 144.18-20 'episcopus autem . . . summo deo sacravit'; 146.2-3 'mirantibus omnibus . . . coeperunt'.

Comment:: The English life has a simpler title, and not all phrases in the Latin are translated. In particular, some phrases are cut from the king's speech at the grave 164.12-13 'in periculis . . . liberavit me'; 164.14-15 'unde erit auxilium mihi . . . pater optime'; 164.15 'in te sperabam nec me spes fefellit'. Note also the omission of the last section of this chapter in Felix and see the discussion in Whatley 1997.

Comment:: Felix places this story in a new chapter. The English life, by adding the phrase 172.1-2 'þæs foresprecenan wræccean aþelbaldes', dovetails it into the preceding passage; much is here cut from the Latin.
