Compare 1587 edition: 1 Euge|nius. [figure appears here on page 143] THis Eugenius was the fourth of that name, whiche had ruled ouer the Scot|tiſh men. As it is ſayde S. Colme prophecied that hee ſhould be king long before his fathers death:S Colmes pro+phecie of Eu|genius the fourth. for when all the ſonnes of king Aydan were brought before him, and that Aydan demaunded of him whiche of them ſhoulde reygne after him, hee ouerpaſ|ſing the reſidue (whiche he vnderſtoode by ſecrete knowledge ſhould die in the warres) appoynted foorth this Eugenius, called by ſome alſo Bru|dus, declaring that it ſhould be onely he.

Compare 1587 edition: 1 A louer of peace & qui|etneſſe.This Eugenius then beyng placed in the kingly ſeat, forgot not ſuch wholſome leſſons & vertuous precepts, as the foreſayd Saint Colme had taught him in his youth, ſo that ſtudying how to defende rather that which was his owne in peace and quietneſſe, than to ſeeke any wayes or meanes howe to enlarge it, by wrongfull en|croching vpon other mens poſſeſſions, he grewe into ſuch fauour with all good menne, as greater could not be deuiſed.A ſharpe iu|ſticier. Vnto offendors he was a ſharpe Iuſticier, not ſparing any tranſgreſſour of his lawes, neyther in reſpect of nobilitie or o|therwiſe, but rather thoſe gentlemen which miſ|vſed thẽſelues in breache of good orders, he chief|ly gaue order to ſee them puniſhed: where if they behaued themſelues worthily, and according to theyr calling, there was no prince more gladde than he to aduaunce them vnto honour.

Compare 1587 edition: 1 By theſe and the like his princely doings, he was both beloued of his people and alſo dred. He neither fauoured the Picts nor Saxons of Nor|thumberland, for that the one nation being Eth|nikes perſiſted in their infidelitie, and the other ceaſſed not by all maner of meanes to ſupporte them but yet taking a truce with them bothe, he firmely cauſed the ſame to be obſerued.
