Compare 1587 edition: 1 This victorie beyng thus atchieued,The citie cal|led Epiake, is wonne by the Romains. the Ro|mains gote poſſeſſion of Epiake with the grea|teſt parte of all Galloway, and paſſed the re|ſidue of that yeare without any other nota|ble exployte: but in the ſommer followyng Pe|tilins the Romaine gouernour wente aboute to ſubdue the reſte of the countrey, the Scottes EEBO page image 48 oftentimes making diuerſe ſkirmiſhes with him, but in no wiſe durſte ioyne with them puiſſance agaynſt puiſſance,The Scottes durſt not fight any field with the Romains. leaſt they ſhoulde haue put their Countrey into further daunger, if they had chaũced eftſoones to haue receyued y^e ouerthrow.

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.
