FROM ENGLISH CHRONICLERS 21
between God and men, the man Jesus Christ. And hence also
he kept it not, as some falsely imagine, on the fourteenth
[day of the] moon, on whatsoever day of the week, as the

because, that is, of his
Jews do ;
to the twentieth [day of the] moon :

John kept the paschal season according to the decrees of Mosaic law, and
cared naught about the first day of the week ; but this you do not, since

of the] moon : so that very often you begin Easter on the thirteenth [day
of the] moon, in the evening. ..."

this time died St. Cuthbert, and bishop Egred succeeded him ;
and he trans-
ported a certain church, formerly built by St. Aidan in the time of king
Oswald, from the island of Lindisfarne to Norham, and there rebuilt it. . . ."
