1 85 When Augustine first learned that there were already Christians in Britain does not appear; but his first impressions of them were doubtless not very favourable. He learned that they were an un- lettered race, who still kept Easter by the ancient, but now uncanonical, uses of Smyrna and Ephesus. For these had been overruled at Nicaea, by univer- sal consent. Were the Britons deliberate schis- matics? He doubtless imagined they were, but this was a mistake. The Britons had been so long cut ...off from commerce with other churches, that they had never received from Alexandria the annual computation. Gregory himself did not know of their existence, and it seems to me prob- able, as I have said before, that they kept on in the way received by Irenaeus from Polycarp, and which Eborius and his companions had learned from Lyons and Aries to regard as lawful. 1 Espe- cially would they be likely to adhere to their old customs, so long as the Patriarch of Alexandria failed to communicate with them, as the canons prescribed.
