Austen, after that he had baptised a thousand Christians of Saxons, in one day, in the West river, that is called Swold beside York: on Christmas day, he perceiving his end to draw near,1 ordained Laurentius 2to rule after him, the Archb. Sea of Canterbury. In the mean season, about this time died Gregory: of whom it is said, that of all the Bish. that were afore him, he was the basest, & of all that came after him the best. About which time, died also in Wales, David, Archb. of Kaerleion, who then translated the sea from thence to Mevenia, & therefore is called David of Wales. Not long after this, also died Austen, 3after he had set 15. or 16. years.
