Text Any textual data included in the document "In this Lake there are many Islands, the biggest of which is by some called St. Aveogs, who is said to have been buried in it; by others St. Fintanus's; and by others the Island of Saints. There was a Convent of Canons Regular, of the Order of St. Augustin, subject to the Monastery of the Apostles Peter and Paul at Armagh, erected in it, and a fine Chappel and convenient Houses built for the Monks, over whom a Prior presided, and two of them were usually chosen to receive and instruct the Pilgrims. The Remains of these Buildings are still to be seen. It is said that the Passage into Purgatory was first found in this Island; but it being near the Shore, and a Bridge from the main Land into it, which gave the People free and ready Access, this Passage into Purgatory was stopped up, and another opened in a less Island about half a Mile from the Shore, by which Means the Monks wisely gained two Points, viz. the Profit of a Ferry-Boat for wafting the Pilgrims over the Lake, and an Opportunity for working farther upon the Imaginations of the People, and making them believe, that were really going into another World."
