6. Out of this famous holy Monastery, was Aidan first, and Finan after, [and Tromhere &c.] and Coleman after sent into Northumberland, where they are said to be made Bishops. And they were the first Bishops that came thither; and so, had no ordination in England from any Bishops that were there before: Nor is there any probability that the Palladian Bishops did ordain them Bishops: But that their own order of Senior Monks and Presbyters only ordained them.

And the King Oswi himself was taught by the Scots, and was of their Language and for their way. And Cedda was ordained by the Scots; And at a Synod three or four of these kind of Bishops with the King and his Son, and Hilda a woman, Abbess, were the Company that made it. c. 25. And c. 26. Tuda also was ordained by the Scots. And c. 4. The Bishops themselves were under the Government of the Abbot, juxta exemplum primi Doctoris, qui non Episcopus, sed Presbyter extitit et Monachus.
