Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 AFter Lugthake was thus dispatched, one Mo|gall the nephue of Galdus by his daughter was admitted king in his place. His cheefest studie was to reforme the decaied state of his countrie, and first he caused such wicked councellors of his predecessors and vncle Lugthake, as had escaped with life (when their maister was made awaie) to be put to death, according to their iust deseruings. He restored also the due worshipping of the gods, in part as then neg|lected, by the wicked counsell of their former rulers. The Scotishmen in like maner conceiuing an assu|red hope of a good redresse in all their [...]réefes and op|pressions, by the means of such a well disposed prince, began to beare him incredible loue and fauor, euen Mogall is beloued of his subiects. The Picts desire aid of the Scots against the Romans. the like as they had doone his grandfather Galdus. In the meane time came certeine ambassadors from the Picts, vnto this Mogall, requiring him of aid a|gainst the Romans and Britains, who by a sudden inuasion had doon much hurt in Pictland, to the great distresse of the inhabitants.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 At the same time they of Galloway certified him The Ro|mans inuade the Scotish borders. also by letters, that the same Romans had made a rode into their countrie, and led awaie a great bootie of goods and prisoners. Mogall hauing a mind no lesse giuen to déeds of chiualrie, than to the studie of ciuill gouernment and religious deuotion, reioised that he had iust occasion giuen him to shew some proofe of his valiant inclination, and so herevpon Mogall re|quireth resti|tution of wrongs doone by the Ro|mans. Mogall pre|pareth to the wars. Mogall visi|teth his grand fathers se|pulchre. sent an herald at armes vnto the Romans, requi|ring to haue restitution and amends for the iniuries thus by them committed. The herald dooing his message, receiued nothing but scornefull words, and disdainfull menaces, wherby Mogall being through|lie kindled with despite, assembled his power togi|ther foorth of all the parties of his dominions, and comming with the same into Galloway, visited his grandfathers sepulchre, honoring it with great reuerence and solemne supplications, requiring as it were his aid against those enimies, which had vio|lated the league made betwixt him and them, by so|lemne oths and other accustomed meanes of ratifi|cation. This doone, he drew into Annandale, where The Picts and Scots ioine their powers togi|ther and enter into the lands of their eni|mies. Unipanus as then king of the Picts abode his com|ming. There ioining their powers togither, they marched foorth into Cumberland, and so forward in|to Westmerland, with fire and sword wasting and spoiling those countries, as then belonging to the Romans.
