Compare 1587 edition: 1 Theſe newes greatly waſhed the Romaine armie, and muche the more for that aboute the ſame time it was ſhewed them howe king Galde with an huge armie of Scottiſh men and Pictes, was come within tenne myles of them. Where|vpon the Romaines not knowing at that in|ſtant what was beſt for them to doe, in the ende they concluded to withdrawe into Cantyr, where being arriued,The romains withdraw in|to Cantyr, and after into Galloway. and perceyuing themſelues as yet to be in no great ſuretie there, they went away from thence with ſpeede into Galloway.

Compare 1587 edition: 1 In the meane time king Galde ſuppoſing it beſt eftſoones to fight with them ere they mighte haue any ſpace to reenforce their power,Galde purſu|eth the ro|maines. followed them with all diligence, not forcing thoughe hee left behinde him diuerſe Caſtelles and fortreſſes furniſhed with ſundrie garriſons of his enimies, ſo that he might diſcomfit and chaſe away their maine power whiche hee thought might as then eaſily be done, conſidering the great multitudes of people whiche came flocking in on eche ſyde, preſenting themſelues with offering their ſe [...] vnto him, & ſhewing furthermore great tokens of ioy and gladneſſe, for that it had pleaſed the gods at length yet to declare themſelues fauourable in this their relieuing of the oppreſſed Brytaynes. Herevnto Galdus on the other ſyde giuing them heartie thankes for their trauayle, hee receyued them very gently, myxing his talke wyth moſt confortable wordes, therewith to put them in hope of ſuch good and proſperous ſucceſſe, as that ſhortly they ſhoulde thereby bee reſtored intyrely vnto theyr former liberties, and perpetually de|lyuered from all forrayne ſeruitude and bon|dage.
