Reading edition
In a poem of the sixteenth century (1507–22), in Manks, given in Train's Isle of Man, i. p. 50, occur the lines—
'Ayns dagh treen Balley ren eh unnane D'an sleih shen ayn dy heet dy ghuee,'
alluding to St. Germain; translated thus by Mr. Train:—
'For each four quarterlands he made a chapel For people of them to meet in prayer.'
For the 'quarterlands' see Statute of the Tinwald Court, 1645. Also Feltham's Tour, Manx Society, p. 41, &c.
