Compare 1587 edition: 1 This done, they ſent vnto Galde king of the Scottes certaine meſſengers with rich iewelles and gyftes, in token of their reioycing and glad|neſſe for his victories, promiſing him further|more ſuch ayd as they were able to make againſt the Romaines the common enimies of all the whole Albion nation.
