In the Reign of King David, itwould indeed appear, that the Culdees were either the Chapter,or had some share in the Election of the Bishop; and seeing. 182 BISHOPS OF THE SEE OF ST. ANDREWS. all their differences with the Bishops of St. Andrews were con-cerning the right of Election, it would seem to be a just enoughconclusion that these Culdees were not of a different Form ofReligion from the Bishops of St. Andrews, nor observed anyRites or Ceremonies different from the Church in those whole contest being about the right of Election of the Bishop,is likewise a plain proof that the Culdees did not maintain aparity among themselves, in the government of Ecclesiasticalaffairs, distinct from what was then established in the ChristianChurch. The Canons of St. Andrews seem to have been super-induced upon the Culdees in the time of King David, in the matterof Electing the Bishop of that See; and against this they com-plained, but never against the Office of a Bishop, so far as wecan learn by any remains of antiquity. The sole contest was,who should or who should not Elect the Bishop. Lamberton
