About this season or not much before, under the reign of Oswy & Oswyne, 1kings of Northumberland, an other Synod or Council was holden against the Britons and the Scottish bishops, for the right, observing of Easter, at Sternehalt. At what time Agilbertus Bishop of westsaxons came to Northumberland, to institute Wilfride, Abbot of Ripon, where this question for Easter day began to be moved.2 For Colmannus then Bishop of Northumberland followed not the custom of Rome, nor of the Saxons: but followed the Britons, and the Scottish Bishops, his predecessors in the same sea before. Thus on the on side was Colmannus the Archbishop of York and Hilda the Abbes of Sternhalt: which alleged for them the doings and examples of their predecessors, both godly and reverend bishops: as Aidanus, Finianus, Archbishops of that sea of York before them, and divers moe. Who had used always to celebrate the Easter, from the xiiij. day of the first month, till the xxviij. of the same. And specially for that S. John y• Evangelist at Ephesus, kept and observed that day, &c. On the other side was Agilbert bishop of westsaxons, James the Deacon of Paulinus above mentioned: Wilfride Abbot of Ripon: and King Alfride Oswyes son, with his Queen, holding on the same side. The full contents of which disputation here followeth, according as in the story of Bede at large is described: with their reasons and arguments, on both sides as ensueth, &c.
