At tunc veniente ad eos reverentissimo et sanctissimo patre et sacerdote Ecgbercto, de natione Anglorum, qui in Hibernia diutius exulaverat pro Christo, eratque et doctissimus in Scripturis et longae vitae perfectione eximius, correcti sunt per eum et ad verum canonicumque paschae diem translati; quem tamen et antea non semper in luna quarta decima cum Iudaeis, ut quidam rebantur, sed in die quidem Dominica, alia tamen quam decebat hebdomada celebrabant.
But when the most reverend and holy father and priest Egbert came to them from the English nation, living in Christs quarrel in exile long time in Ireland, and being a man very well learned in the Scriptures and singular for the perfect life he led for many years, they were reformed by him and brought to keep Easter on the true and lawful day; nevertheless, they did not even before that time solemnize and keep it always upon the 14th day after the change of the moon, according to the Jews custom (as some men supposed), but on the Sunday, though yet in another week than was convenient.
