This Celulfus king of Northumberland afore mentioned,1 after he had reigned viij. years was made a Monk in the Abbey of Farne, otherwise called Lindefar, or holy Island: where by his means licence was given to the monks of that house to drink wine or ale, which before by the institution of Aidanus above mentioned, drunk nothing but milk and water. After whom succeeded Egbert his cousin, brother to Egbert (the same time being bishop of York) which brought again thither the pall that his ⟨p. 128⟩predecessors had forgone,2 since the time that Paulinus had left the sea, & fled to Rochester, as is before declared. The said Egbert also erected a noble Library in York, whose example I would other bishops now would follow.
