Reuther by Beda in his ecclesiasticall historie of England is named Reuda, who also sup|poseth him to be the first of all the Scotish princes, that set any foot in Britaine there to inhabit: his comming thither was (as séemeth to some) long af|ter the supposed time here before alleged. And vere|lie there is great cause to mooue a doubt of the truth of that which Hector Boetius hath written, in follo|wing (as he saith) other authors, touching the first comming into Britaine, as well of the Scots and Picts. For if it were true, that so long before the comming of the Romans into this Ile, they were here planted and growne to such puissance; it is strange that no mention is made of them in any of their writings, till about the yeare 360 after Christ; as in place conuenient it shall more plainelie ap|peere.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 This Reutha also vnderstanding of the lacke of all maner of craftsmen in his realme, and of such Craftsmen brought into Scotland to instruct the people. as were expert in the liberall sciences, caused a great number of most perfect artificers to be sent for, to inhabit amongest his people, the better to in|struct them in their occupations.
