Compare 1587 edition: 1 But to proceede, at length he did ſo much by his iourneys, that hee came into Galloway,The romains determine a|gaine to fight with the Scots. where the Romaines with al ſpeede (ſeeing none other remedie) reſolued themſelues to giue him battayle, and therevppon exhorting one an o|ther to playe the men, ſithe theyr onely refuge reſted in their weapons poyntes, they fiercelye gaue the onſette, and at the firſt, put the lefte wing of the Scottes and Pictes wholy vnto the worſt.The romain [...] fiercely aſſaile the Scottes. In whiche wing according to their maner in thoſe dayes vſed, there were a greate number of women mingled amongeſt the men. Galde therefore perceyuing the daunger, ſuccou|red them (with ſuch as were appoynted to giue the looking on till neede requyred, and then to go where they ſhoulde bee commaunded.) By whiche meanes the battayle on that ſyde was re [...]ued a freſhe, the women ſhewing no leſſe valiancie than the menne,Straunge dea|ling in womẽ and contrarie to their na|ture. and therewith muche more crueltie, for they ſpared none at all thoughe they offered neuer ſo muche to haue there lyues preſerued.

Compare 1587 edition: 1 In fine, the Romaines beeing chaſed in the left wing, their ouerthrow gaue occaſion to al the reſidue to flee backe to their campe,The romains flie to their campe. being pur|ſued ſo egrely by the Scottes and Pictes, that they had muche adoe to defende the entries of theyr trenches, where both partyes fought right egrely, tyll at length the night parted them both in ſunder.

But this theyr de|meanor and purpoſe being vnderſtood of the Ro|maines, they requyred a communication,The romains require a com+munication. the whiche (though ſome perſwaded Galdus [...]n the contrarie,) vppon deepe conſiderations of for|tunes frayle fauour, was at length graunted vnto them, and foure auncient Romaines had in right honourable and [...] apparẽt [...] EEBO page image 58 forth and were admitted to the preſence of the kings (Galde of the Scottes,The Romains ſubmit them|ſelues as van|quiſhed. and Garnard of the Pictes) vnto whome with humble ſubmiſ|ſion they acknowledged themſelues as vanqui|ſhed, [figure appears here on page 58] and that by the iuſt wrath and reuenge of the equall Goddes, which agaynſt them they had conceyued for the wrongfull inuaſion of that which in no wiſe of right appertained vnto them. Therefore if it might pleaſe thoſe kings to brydle and refrayne their diſpleaſure agaynſt them, in licenſing them vnder ſome reaſonable condi|tions of appoyntment to depart, it ſhoulde bee a thing reſounding ſo muche to theyr fame and glorie, as nothing coulde bee more, con|ſidering ſo humble ſure made to them by the Oratours of thoſe people who were reputed as vanquiſhers of the whole worlde.
