lines 1a - 2b; 'ðæs behofað hæleða æghwylc þæt he his sawle sið sylfa geþence'

	The Sermones ad fratres in eremo were published in vol. 40 of Migne's Patrologia Latina, 'and there attributed without conviction to St. Augustine.' It is now attributed to a 13th century Belgian forger who drew on older sources, though. (Shippey, Poems of Wisdom and Learning in Old English, pg. 29 + 30) Sermo No. 69 has many similarities with our Soul and Body poem and thus probably draws on a common source.
	It is the 'dreadful story of someone who died in Egypt', namely a rich sinner. 'But his soul was reluctant to leave the gate of the body ('ostium corporis'), for it could see the devils waiting outside to snatch it, and muttering among themselves: 'Quomodo tardatur? Cur fit hoc? Quare fecit tot moras? festinemus...' 'How is it so slow? Why does it do that? Why does it delay so much? Let's get a move on...' The devils are afraid that St. Michael will come to the rescue with his posse of angels; but one of them reassures the others. 'Nostra est...' 'he is ours. I know his deeds, I have always been with him, day and night.' (Shippey, Poems of Wisdom and Learning in Old English, pg. 29 )

	In Visio Pauli, 44. - Christ answers Michael and his angels after their plea for the damned: 'Now, however, for the sake of Michael the archangel of my covenant and the angels who are with him, and because of Paul the well-beloved, whom I would not vex, for the sake of your brethren who are in the world and offer oblations, and for the sake of your sons, because my precepts are in them, and more for the sake of mine own kindness, on the day on which I rose from the dead, I give to you all who are in punishment a night and a day of refreshment forever.'
