The Bishop Of Stepney has told us
the state Of Affairs when 81. Augustine
landed In Ss7. The general position
Of the several races IN this island IN
regard to Christianity was roughly as
follows; The Britons. who had been
Christians for long time. certainly

Of the island a good deal more than
that, had been driven out OF the east

the evidence h all the other way. The
English were Pagan In an parts which
they occupied. But when Augustine
came 70 Kent he found Christianity
known and praeticed IN the capital
city. The king had had for years a
Christian queen. the daughter Of the
frankish king AZ Paris and the queen
had had a Christian Bishop perform

church preserved from British times.
Thus the hrsi seed Of the conversion
Of the English was sown hy the Church
