In the ende (whileſt as yet it was doubtfull to whe|ther ſide the victorie would encline) there came ſuch a ſodaine ſhower of raine,The battaile ſeuered by reaſon of a tempeſt. mixed with ſuche great abundance of hayleſtones, that neyther part was able to haue ſight of other, ſo that by reaſon of the violent rage of that huge ſtorme and tempeſt, eyther ſide was fayne to withdraw from the other.

Compare 1587 edition: 1 There were ſlaine in this battaile ſuch great numbers of men, aſwell on the one ſide as the o|ther, that they had ſmall luſt to ioyne in battaile againe for certaine yeares after.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 In the end (whilest as yet it was doubtfull to The battell seuered by reason of a [...], whether side the victorie would incline) there came such a sudden shower of raine, mixed with such great abundance of haslestones, that neither part was a|ble to haue sight of other, so that by reason of the vio|lent rage of that huge storme and tempest, either side was saine to withdraw from the other. There were slaine in this battell such great numbers of men, as well on the one side as the other, that they had small lust to ioine in battell againe for certeine yéeres af|ter. For the Roman lieutenant vnderstanding what The lieute|nant furni|shing diuerse holds, retur|neth into kent. losse of people he had susteined, without attempting anie further exploit, appointed certeine of his com|panies to lie in garrison within sundrie fortresses in Pictland, & with the residue he returned into Kent. In like sort the Scots with their confederates the Picts, perceiuing themselues not able as then to The Scots & Picts break|vp their campe. make anie further attempt against their enimies, brake vp their armie, and deuised onelie how they might defend that which they had alreadie in posses|sion.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 And forsomuch as the Pictish nation was increa|sed vnto a greater multitude of people, than those countries which they then held were able to find with sufficient sustenance (considering what a great portion of their ancient seates the Britains and Ro|mans kept from them) it was agréed by the Scots that they should inioy the countrie of Athole, with other lands bordering néere vnto the same, lieng without the compasse of the mounteine of Granze|ben. Athole assig|ned to the Picts. The Picts then being placed in Athole, increa|sed there woonderfullie, and builded manie faire ca|stels and towers in those parties, to the great beau|tifieng of that countrie. In which meane while, Uic|torine the Romane lieutenant commanded the Bri|tains The Bri|tains by the appointment of Uictorine make a wall. to make hast with the wall (whereof ye haue heard) made of turfe, and susteined with certeine posts of timber passing ouerthwart the borders be|twixt them and their enimies, begining (as ye haue heard) at Abercorne, and so stretching foorth by Glas|co, and Kirkpatrike, euen vnto Aldcluch, now Dun|briton, 80 miles more northward than the other wall, which the emperor Adrian caused (as is said) to be made.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 Whereof the Scots and Picts being informed, they assembled themselues togither, & vnder the lea|ding The Scotish men & Picts interrupt the making of that wall. of a noble man called Graime, they set vpon the Britains, as they were busie in working about the same, and slue not onelie a great number of la|bourers and souldiers, which were set to labour and defend the worke, but also entering into the British borders, fetched from thence a great bootie of cattell and other riches, which they found dispersed abroad in the countrie. This Graime (who as I said was chiefe Graime, other wise called Graham, and his linage. in this enterprise) was brother vnto the Scotish quéene, the wife of king Ferguse. He was borne in Denmarke (as some hold opinion) in the time of the Scotishmens banishment, and had a Scotishman to his father descended of a noble house, and a Da|nish ladie to his mother. He himselfe also maried a noble woman of that nation, and had by hir a daugh|ter, whome Ferguse by the persuasion of the king of Ferguse ma|ried a daugh|ter of Graime Denmarke tooke to wife, and had issue by hir (afore his comming into Scotland) thrée sonnes, Euge|nius, Dongarus, and Constantius, of whome here|after in their place mention shall be made, as occa|sion serueth. Other there be, that affirme how this Diuersitie of opinions tou|ching the ori|ginall begin|ning of the Graimes. Graime was a Britaine borne, & that through hate which he bare towards the Romans for their cruell gouernement, he fled foorth of his natiue countrie, and continued euer after amongst the Scots, as first in Denmarke, and afterwards in Albion, euer rea|die to doo what displeasures he could deuise against the Romans & other their friends or subiects. Of this Graime those Scots, which vnto this day beare that surname, are said to be descended.
