Their names were Eufreid, Oswald, O [...]aws, Os|win, Offas, Osmond, and Osike. Ebba the onelie daughter of Edelfred being taken amongest other prisoners, and escaping from hir taker, miraculous|lie got a bote in the riuer of Humber, and with the same taking the sea alone, without all humane helpe (as hath béene reported) she sailed foorth, & at length safelie arriued at the point of land which stretched foorth into the sea, in the mouth of the Forth, called euen vnto this day after hir name, saint Ebbes S.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Eugenius the Scotish king did louinglie receiue the sonnes of Edelfred, though their father had euer béene a cruell enimie against the Scotish nation; and within a while after their comming into Scot|land, hearing oftentimes the godlie sermons and preachings of the bishops and moonks (who in those daies continuallie gaue themselues vnto that exer|cise) they finallie abhorred their superstitious idola|trie, and receiued baptisme, that salutiferous signe and sacrament of our christian religion. Those chur|ches also, which the Saxons in time of the warres had ouerthrowen and destroied in Galloway and other countries thereabouts, Eugenius caused to be re|pared; moreouer also he reedified sundrie castels in those marches, and placed in them garisons of soul|diers, to defend them against all inuasions that might happen. Thus continuing his reigne the space of fiftéene yeares or thereabouts in honorable peace, to the great aduancement of the commonwealth of his subiects, he lastlie died in the yeare 620, and was 620 buried amongest his elders in the Ile of Iona, with|in the monasterie of Colmekill.

Whether he were pope, and resigning vp the papalitie came thus into Scotland (as some haue supposed) or whether he was sent from the pope cal|led Bonifacius that succeeded Sauinianus, it is not certeinlie knowne; but certeine it is, as the Scotish writers affirme, that vpon his first comming into Scotland he arriued in the water of Taie, comming on land at the mouth of a little riuer, which diuideth the countrie of Gowrie from Angus. His name is yet famous amongest the Scots euen vnto this day, for that he trauelled through the most part of the land, in preaching and instructing the people to their confirmation in the faith, and erecting diuers chur|ches in the honor of almightie God, which he dedica|ted to the name of saint Peter. And amongst other he built one at the place where he came on land, an o|ther at a village called Tulline, not passing [...]ee miles from Dundée, and the third at Restennoth, where afterwards an house of chanons of saint Au|gustines order was builded. At length he came into Rosse, continuing there the residue of his life, and is buried at Rossemarken.
