Being accompanied with the foresaid Adrian, he visited all the parts of this land, ordeined bishops and ministers in churches where he thought conuenient, and reformed the same churches as seemed to him needfull, as well in other things which he misliked, as also in [Sidenote:  Ran.  Cest.  Matth.  West.] causing them to obserue the feast of Easter, according to the right [Sidenote:  Beda.] and vsage of the church of Rome.  Ceadda that was bishop of Yorke, because he was not lawfullie ordeined, as he himselfe confessed, was remoued from the see of Yorke, and Wilfrid was therevnto restored, so that Ceadda (though he were not disgraded of his degree of bishop) liued yet a priuat kind of life, till he was admitted bishop of Mercia, as after shall be shewed.  Also whereas before time there was in maner no singing in the English churches, except it were in Kent, [Sidenote:  Singing in churches brought in vse.] now they began in euerie church to vse singing of diuine seruice after the rite of the church of Rome.  The archbishop Theodore finding the church of Rochester void by the death of the last bishop named [Sidenote:  Putta bishop of Rochester.] Damian, ordeined one Putta a simple man in worldlie matters, but well instructed in ecclesiasticall discipline, and namelie well seene in song and musicke to be vsed in the church after the maner as he had learned of pope Grogories disciples.

[Sidenote:  The worthie praise of Theodore and Adrian.] To be breefe, the archbishop Theodore, and the abbat Adrian deserued great commendation in this, that whereas they were notablie well learned themselues in the Greeke and the Latine toongs, and also had good knowledge as well in the liberall arts, as in the scripture, they tooke great paines to traine vp scholers in knowledge of the [Sidenote:  Englishmen happy and why.] same, so that the Englishmen had not seene more happie times than in those daies, hauing as then kings of great puissance, so as strangers stood in feare of them; and againe, those that coueted learning, had instructors at hand to teach them, by reason whereof [Sidenote:  Beda.] diuers being giuen to studie, prooued excellent both in knowledge of the Greeke and Latine.  There came in companie of the said [Sidenote:  Benedict or Benet surnamed Biscop.] archbishop from Rome, an English man named Benedict Biscop, which had taken vpon him the habit of a moonke in Italie, and now returning into his countrie, builded two abbeis, the one named Wiremouth, because it was placed at the mouth of the riuer of Wire, and the other Girwie, distant from Wiremouth about fiue miles, and from the towne of [Sidenote:  670.] Newcastle foure miles, situated neere to the mouth of Tine.  Wiremouth was built in the yeare 670, and Girwie in the yeare 673.  There were a 600 moonks found in those two houses, and gouerned [Sidenote:  Glasiers first brought into England. Ran.  Cest.] vnder one abbat.  The said Benedict was the first that brought glasiers, painters, and other such curious craftsmen into England.  He went fiue times to Rome, and came againe.
