Compare 1577 edition: 1 In the meane time then, whilest Petilius was occu|pied (as before ye haue hard) in the conquest of Gal|loway, Uoadicia the daughter of Aruiragus (whom Uoadicia re|neweth wars with the Ro|mans. the Romans had before time misused, as before in this treatise is partlie touched) gathered togither a crew of souldiors within the Ile of Man, partlie of the inhabitants, and partlie of such Scotishmen of Galloway as were fled thither for succor: with these shée tooke the seas, and landing in Galloway, vpon purpose to reuenge hir iniuries in times past recei|ued at the Romans hands, she set vpon their tents in the night season, when they looked for nothing lesse The Romane campe assailed in the night by Uoadicia. than to be disquieted, by reason whereof they were brought into such disorder, that if Petilius had not caused such fierbrands to be kindled as he had prepa|red and dressed with pitch, rosen and tallow, for the like purpose, the whole campe had beene in great danger: but these torches or firebrands gaue not on|lie light to sée where to make resistance, but also be|ing cast in the faces of the enimies, staied their har|die forwardnesse, whereby the Romans hauing lea|sure to place themselues in arraie, defended the en|tries of their campe, till the day was sproong, and then giuing a full onset vpon their enimies, they put them quite to flight.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 But Uoadicia not herewith discouraged, hasted with all speed vnto Epiake, and taking that citie she Epiake is ta|ken & burned by Uoadicia. set fire on it, and slue such Romans as she found there, whereof Petilius being certified, sent foorth a legion against hir to withstand hir attempts. Those that had the charge of them that were thus sent, vsed such diligence, that laieng an ambush for hir in a place fit for that purpose, they so inclosed hir, that slaieng the most part of hir company, she was taken prisoner hir selfe, and being brought aliue vnto Peti|lius, vpon hir stout answer made vnto him, as he questioned with hir about hir bold enterprises, shée Uoadicia is slaine. was presentlie slaine by the souldiors.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Anon after Petilius was certified, that the inha|bitants The Bri|tains rebell. of the Ile of Wight, with other southerne Britains, had raised a commotion against king Ma|rius, so that without spéedie succors they were like to The Bri|tains are appeased. driue him out of his kingdome: wherevpon he ha|sted thither with all conuenient speed, and subduing the rebels, set all things there in good order and staie: Petilius the Romane le|gat dieth. and so remaining there till the next yeere after, he fell sicke of the flix and died. Immediatlie wherevp|on the emperour sent one Iulius Frontinus to suc|céed in his place. This Frontinus brought with him Iulius Fron [...]inus sent into Britaine. two legions of souldiors, and after he had taken or|der with king Marius for the kéeping of the Bri|tains in due subiection of the empire, he purposed to bring such vnto obedience, as inhabited within and The Silures mistaken for Scotishmen. beyond the woods of Calidon, and as yet not van|quished by anie man.

Compare 1587 edition: 1 2 Here haue wee thought good to aduertiſe the Reader, that although the Scottiſh wryters im|pute all the trauayles whiche Petilius ſpent in ſubduing the Brygantes, and Frontinus in con|quering the Silures, to be employed chiefly a|gaynſt Scottes and Pictes: the opinion of the beſt learned is wholy contrarie thereunto, affyr|ming the ſame Brygãtes and Silures not to be ſo farre North by the diſtance of many myles,Touching al the doings of the Romains in Brytain yee ſhal finde ſuf|ficiently in the hiſtorie of En|gland. as Hector Boetius and other his Countreymen do place them, which thing in the Hiſtorie of Eng|lande wee haue alſo noted, where ye maye reade more of all the doings of the Romaynes here in Brytaine, as in their wryters we finde the ſame recorded. But neuertheleſſe we haue here follo|wed the courſe of the Scottiſhe Hiſtorie, in ma|ner as it is written by the Scottes themſelues, not bynding any man more in this place than in other to credite them further than by conference of authours it ſhall ſeeme to them expedient. In the meane time then, whileſt Petilius was occu|pied as before ye haue heard in y^e cõqueſt of Gal|loway.Vodicia re|neweth warres with the Ro|mains. Vodicia the daughter of Aruiragus (whõ the Romains had before time miſuſed as before in this treatiſe is partely touched) gathered togi|ther a crew of ſoldiours within the Iſle of Man, partely of the inhabitants, and partely of ſuche Scottiſh men of Galloway as were fledde thi|ther for ſuccour: with theſe ſhee tooke the ſeas, and landing in Galloway, vpon purpoſe to re|uenge hyr iniuries in times paſt receyued at the Romains handes,The Romaine campe aſſailed in the night by Vodicia. ſet vppon their tentes in the night ſeaſon, when they looked for nothing leſſe than to be diſquieted, by reaſon wherof they were brought into ſuche diſorder, that if Petilius had not cauſed ſuche fire brandes to be kindled as he had prepared and dreſſed with pitche, roſen and [...]allow, for the like purpoſe, the whole campe had bene in great daunger: but theſe torches or fyre brandes gaue not onely light to ſee where to make reſiſtaunce, but alſo being caſte in the faces of the enimies, ſtayed theyr hardie forwardneſſe, whereby the Romains hauing leaſure to place themſelues in array, defended the entries of theyr campe, till the day was ſprong, and then giuing a full onſet vppon theyr enimies, they put them quite to flight.
