Compare 1587 edition: 1 The doubt of Claudius go|ing into the Orkneys.But whatſoeuer Hector Boetius and others write of this paſſage of Claudius into the Ork|neys, it is not like that he came there at all, for if he ſtayed not paſt .xvj. dayes in Brytayne,Dion Caſsius. as by Dion Caſſius it appeareth that hee did not in deed, how ſhould we ymagin that he coulde both pacifie the South partes of Brytayne, and after go into Orkney and conquere the ſame with [...] ſo ſmall a time, being readie to returne towardes Rome at the ende of thoſe .xvj. dayes, as the ſayd Dion affirmeth? But this diſcourſe haue I made according to their owne Hiſtories, leaſt I ſhould ſeeme to defraude them of whatſoeuer glory [...] be gotten by errours, as the maner is of them as well as of other Nations, whiche to aduaunce their antiquities and glorie of theyr auncetou [...] take the aduantage oftentymes of wryters ſtand worthie of credite.

[...] Ar [...]irag [...] being eſtabliſhed in the kingdome of Brytayne vpon ſome priuate diſpleaſure forſooke his wyfe named Voada, the ſiſter of Caratake king of the Scottiſh men, and maryed one Geniſſa a Ro|maine Ladie, whiche acte manye of the Bry|taynes diſallowed, the more in deede, bycauſe he had fayre iſſue alreadie by Voada, as a ſonne and two daughters. But this was done, as all men iudged, by the counſell of Aulus Planctius, thereby to breake all friendſhip and alliaunce be|twixt the Brytaynes and Scottes, to the ende that in no caſe of rebellion they ſhould ioyne their powers togither.

Compare 1587 edition: 1 Neither did he onely refuſe Voada, whom al men knewe to be his lawfull wife,Voada impri|ſoned. but alſo cau|ſed hir to be kept in priſon, till that the Brytayns (hauing indignation thereat) got hir out of the place where ſhe was kept,Voada is deli|uered out of priſon, and conueyed into Wales. and conueyed hir into Wales, togither with hir children.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Claudius therefore leauing this Ile, passed into Pomonia the chiefest of all the Or [...]nies, where Now Kirke|wale. discomfiting such as appeared abroad to make resi|stance, he besieged the king of those Iles named Ga|nus, Claudius ta|keth the king of the Orke|nies. within a castell where he was withdrawen, and finallie causing him to yeeld himselfe prisoner, led him with other nobles of Britaine (whome he had for pledges) vnto Rome, the more to set forth the glorie of his triumph at his returne vnto the citie. ¶ But whatsoeuer Hector Boetius and others write The doubt of Claudius go|ing into the Orkenies. Dion Cassius. of this passage of Claudius into the Orkenies, it is not like that he came there at all, for if he staied not past 16 daies in Britaine, as by Dion Cassius it appeareth that he did not in déed; how should we imagine that he could both pacifie the south parts of Britaine, and after go into Orkenie and conquere the same within so small a time, being readie to re|turne towards Rome at the end of those 16 daies, as the said Dion affirmeth? But this discourse haue I made according to their owne histories, least I should séeme to defraud them of whatsoeuer glorie is to be gotten by errours, as the maner is of them as well as of other nations, which to aduance their antiquities and glorie of their ancestors, take the aduantage oftentimes of writers scant woorthie of credit.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 But now againe to our purpose. Aruiragus be|ing established in the kingdome of Britaine, vpon Aruiragus forsaketh his lawfull wife. some priuat displeasure forsooke his wife named Uo|ada, the sister of Caratake king of the Scotishmen, and maried Genissa a Romane ladie, which act ma|nie of the Britans disallowed; the more in deed, be|cause he had faire issue alreadie by Uoada, as a son and two daughters. But this was doone, as all men iudged, by the counsell of Aulus Planctius, there|by to breake all friendship and aliance betwixt the Britains and the Scots, to the end that in no case of rebellion they should ioine their powers togither. Neither did he onelie refuse Uoada, whome all men knew to be his lawfull wife, but also caused hir Uoada impri|soned. to be kept in prison, till that the Britains (hauing indignation thereat) got hir out of the place where Uoada is de|liuered out of prison, and conueied into wales. she was kept, and conucied hir into Wales togither with hir children.

The next day af|ter this victorie thus gotten, word was brought that the people inhabiting in the countries which we A commotion against Arui|ragus. now call Lanchashire, Yorkeshire, and Darbishire, were vp in armour against the king and the Ro|mans, by reason whereof Aruiragus and Aulus Planctius withdrew towards London, that defen|ding the sea coasts towards France, they might yet h [...] the sea open at all times whatsoeuer chan|ced. And to reenforce their power, Aulus Plan|ctius sent ouer for two legions of souldiers into France, to come with all spéed to his aid.
