Compare 1587 edition: 1 2 On the Brytons and Scottiſh mens ſide, there were foure chiefe rulers amongſt them, be|ſide Aydan himſelfe, as Conſtantius and Alen|crinus Bretons, Callan and Mordock Scottiſh men. Eche of theſe taking a ſeuerall charge vpon him, did earneſtly apply their vttermoſt ende|uers therein, encouraging their bandes to put a|way all cowardly feare, and manfully to ſticke to their tackle, ſithe by victory there was hope of eternall fame, beſide ſuertie of life, and aduaunce|ment to the common wealth of their countrey, where otherwiſe they might looke for nothing, but the contrary miſhaps, as ſhame, rebuke and importable ſeruitude, ſo that the Scottiſh men and Brytons incouraged herewith, preaſſed vpõ the enimies ſo fiercely,The Saxons & Pictes diſcõfi|ted & chaſed. that at length aſwell the Saxons as Picts were compelled to breake their array, & fall to plaine running away: the Scots following ſo egrely in the chaſe, that more of their enimies were thought to die in the flight, than before there had done in y^e battel. S. Colme as yet being aliue, and within his monaſterie in the Ile of Iona, had knowledge by diuine inſpi|ration (as the Scottiſh chronicles make men|tion of all theſe matters how they went, and at the very time that the battels were in fight togi|ther, he had aſſembled a companie of right ver|tuous and godly diſpoſed perſons, making inter|ceſſion for the proſperous ſpeede of their king the foreſayde Aydan, and at the very inſtant, as it was knowen after,S. Colme en|dewed with the ſprite of ſecrete know|ledge that the Saxons began to flee (as they which had the ouerthrow) that holy old father ſhewed greate token of ioy and glad|neſſe, declaring vnto his bretherne by the ſpryte of ſecrete knowledge or prophecie, how Aydan had the better, and that his enimies were diſcõ|fited, willing them therevpon to giue vnto God thankes for the ſame.
