Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 Thus the British ambassadors hauing sped accor|ding to their desires, repaired homewards: imme|diatlie vpon whose departure, both the kings Ede|rus & Gethus leuied their armies, & sent them foorth towards London, whereas then Cassibilane soiour|ned. I find that the Scots were ten thousand men vnder the leading of Cadallane gouernor of Gallo|way, the sonne of Cadall before remembred, and Cadallane & Douald with ten thousand Scotishmen send to aid the Britains. one Douald gouernor of Argile. But what successe followed of this first iournie which Cesar made into Britaine, ye shall find the same in the historie of England more at length expressed. The yéere that Iulius Cesar came to inuade Britaine, was the fourth of Ederus his reigne, from the creation of the world 3912 complet, which is after Maister Ha|risons account 54 before the comming of our Saui|our, 5139 H. B. 60 H. B. and 692 after the building of Rome.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 The Scotishmen and Picts hauing their part of the spoile which the Romans at their departure left behind them, were sent home to their countries with great thanks and rewards for their pains, but the Britains were so exalted in pride by the departure of the Romans, that they beléeued verelie they shuld haue no more to doo with those enimies, or if they had they thought themselues strong inough to repell them without aid of other. By meanes wherof when king Ederus was informed how the Romans pre|pared The Bri|tains refuse aid being of|fered them. to inuade them afresh, and had sent them word thereof, offering to them his aid: they made no ac|count of that offer, but answered that it was not necessarie, for euerie light inuasion of forren eni|mies, to séeke helpe at other mens hands, being of puissance sufficient of themselues to resist the same well inough.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 But of this refusall of so friendlie an offer, it was not long yer the Britains sore repented them. For Iulius Cesar inuadeth this land the se|cond time. shortlie after Iulius Cesar with a farre greater po|wer than that which he brought with him at the first time, landed here in this Ile amongst them againe: and being at thrée sundrie times fiercelie incountred by king Cassibilane, at length he put the same Cas|sibilane with his Britains to flight, slaieng and ta|king a great number of them. Amongst other of the The Bri|tains are ouer throwne. prisoners were thrée of their cheefest capteins, An|drogeus, Cisentoriges, and Tenantius. By reason of which ouerthrow Cassibilane was so discouraged, that doubting further mischéefe, he yéelded himselfe vnto Cesar, accepting such conditions of peace as were appointed him, and for performance of coue|nants, deliuered sufficient pledges.
