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.

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.

In like maner Lucius Antenous for his part exhorted the Romans, and other his souldiers, to call to re|membrance the victorious exploits of their predeces|sors, and how that as then they should fight but with a rude and barbarous people, running to battell more vpon a furious rage and violent madnes, than with any discretion or aduised order, saieng further|more, that it laie now in their hands with no great adoo to recouer that which through the negligent sloth of Cneus Trebellius was before lost, whereby they should atteine great honor and famous renowme for euermore.
