    The hole that he was buried in can never be filled, no matter how much clay is put in it. It was the devil that appeared in the shape of a friar and went down the monastery in the shape of a sow and the bonhams were the young devils. Thehole he was buried in, the reason it cannot be filled is the devil went down to Hell and left the passage after him.
