A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The gospel appears to have been vei yearly introduced into Scotland. The Chnrch there received the Christian faith a little after the days of our Saviour, in the reign of Domitian, as it is thought, from some of John sdisciples, which was by tliem committed to faithful men, who were nothing acquainted either with the glory of a hierarchy or mans tyranny over conscience ;and was a chaste virgin some centuries of years before she had the least correspondence with Rome, or ever heard of the notion of a bishop distinct from, or superior to, an ordinary pastor. Her ministers were called Culdees. When this name was first imposed cannot now be ascertained its etymology is uncertain ;but Dr. Jamieson appears to come pretty near the fact, Lloyd, Bishop of St, A saph, after saying that he had not met with the word in this form in any author, before the time of Giraldiis Cambrensis, observes :T hen it was a very usual thing to find out Latin derivations for those words of which men did not know the original; and thus the Kyldees or Kyllcdci came to be called Culdei or Coiidei, that is, the worshippers of God, being sncli as spent their whole time, or a great part of it, in devotion. The origin assigned by OB rien is certainly very plausible. In I rish, he says, it is Ceir Dc, fmni ceie a servant, and De God. Toland contends that it is from the original I i ish or Scottish word, ceile-de, signifying sepir tted or espoused to God. It has also been derived from the notion of their retreat and seclusion: the original Celtic word ccl a shelter, jdnral, Cehjdi. fuwiesntts Jlistorical Account of thr A iicifut Cu defs, pp. 4, ..
