1 Idols were not, however, destroyed in Kent, until 640, when Erconbert, then king, issued orders for that purpose, being the first of English sovereigns who did so.-BED. 1. 3. c. 8. 2 Paulinus was the missionary.-(BED. 1. 2. c. 16.) His success was, probably, not more lasting, than on the northern side of the Humber. 3The date is uncertain, being ascribed to A. D. 633, by the Annals of Winchester, to 634, by the Saxon Chronicle, and Florence of Worcester, with whom agree Wharton and Smith, and to 635, by Rudborne."-STEVENSON's Bede. Lond. 1838, p. 169. • Peada's visit to the Northumbrian court is referred to 653. He is thought to have been baptised at Walbottle, near Newcastle. He returned into his own dominions, accompanied by four missionaries, of whom Diuma was one. Mr. Stevenson considers that clergyman to have been consecrated bishop of Mercia, in 655.Bede. 206. 5 Mr. Stevenson, with great probability, refers Wilfrid's Sussex mission to 681.-Ib. 275. 6 Mr. Stevenson adopts 603, as the most probable date of this conference. Other writers have taken 599, 601, 602, and 604. Cambden thought the place, Aust, or Aust-clive, the usual spot for passing the Severn into Wales.Ib. 99. Deusdedit Wighard Theodore arrives, May 27 re-consecrates Chad, Sept. 669 7 This is the council, omitted in the Concilia of Spelman and Wilkins, but now represented as real, and a legislative authority for the tripartite division of tythes. Mr. Goode thus renders the decree relating to this matter: "And respecting tythes, the king and the wise men have resolved and enacted, as is right, that a third part of those tythes which belong to a church must be given to (implying no more than towards) the repair of the church, and the second part to God's ministers, the third to God's poor, and needy slaves."—(Brit. Mag. Ap. 1838, p. 368.) Mr. Goode considers this no injunction for an equal division, but merely for a due consideration of both charity and churchrepair. 8 This date is adopted by Smith, the learned editor of Bede, "in which he is supported by Thorn, a writer whose local information entitles him to some credit."-STEVENSON's Bede. 105.
