Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 In this sort was nominated to the bishoprike of Dubline then void, in the yeare of Christ 1074, at Goderius king of Lein|ster. the petition of Goderius king of Leinster, by suffe|rance of the cleargie and people there, with the as|sent of Terdienatus the monarch, a learned prelat Terdienatus the monarch Patricius consecrated bishop of Du|blin by Lan|franke. 1152 Christian bi|shop of Lis|more. Foure metro|politan sées in Ireland. The bishop of Armagh. called Patricius, whome Lanfranke of Canturbu|rie consecrated in Paules church at London, and sware him to obedience after the manner of his an|cestors. Christian bishop of Lismore, legat to Eu|genius the third, summoned a prouinciall councell in Ireland, wherein were authorised foure metropo|litan seas, Armagh, Dublin, Cashill, and Tuen; of the which places were bishops at that present, Ge|lasius, Gregorius, Donatus, Edonius. For hitherto though they yéelded a primasie to the bishop of Ar|magh in reuerence of saint Patrike the first bishop there: yet the same was but of good will, and confir|med rather by custome than by sufficient decree; nei|ther did that archbishop take vpon him to inuest o|ther bishops, but sent them to Canturburie (as be|fore is mentioned) which from hensefoorth they vsed not to doo, insomuch that the next bishop named Lau|rence, Laurence archbishop of S. Keuins. 1162 sometime archbishop of saint Keuins in Go|landilagh, was ordered and installed at home by Ge|lasius primat of Armagh.

FINIS.

Not well vnderstanding what the writer of this part of the Irish historie ment to fall vpon so blunt a conclusion; but supposing it was vpon some reasonable induce|ment: we thought it conuenient to leaue it as we found it: intending (without anie addition herevnto) to set downe the conquest of Ire|land, as the same was left recorded by Girald of Cambria: whose prefaces and historie, right worthie the reading, doo immediatlie follow.
