Compare 1587 edition: 1 In the next Sommer there was little done worthie to be ſpoken of, but that there were cer|tayne ſkirmiſhes betwixt the Romaines lying on the borders, and the Scottes and Pictes, e|uer as occaſion ſerued, eyther of the partyes to worke any exployte for theyr aduauntage. But forſomuche as the Scottes had no ayde ſente them forth of Irelande, they were not mynded to ieoparde againe in a foughten fielde, ſuppo|ſing it ſufficient if they might defend their owne, thoughe they gayned nothing as then, conſide|ring the puyſſaunce that was readie bent againſt them.

Compare 1587 edition: 1 This wall was buylt (as is before recyted) firſt by Adrian the Emperour, to ſtay the Scot|tiſhe men from inuading the lands apperteyning to the ſubiectes of the Romaine Empyre, and after ouerthrowne in dyuerſe places as well by Scottes and Pictes, as by the Brytaynes, in ſort as before is partly mentioned. Antoninus cauſed it to be fortified with Baſtilyons, one be|ing placed ſo neare to another, as trumpettes be|ing appoynted in eche of them, the ſounde might be heard betwixt to warne one another vpon the firſt diſcrying of the enimies approche.
