Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 After this he visited the west parts of his realme, and at the mouth of the riuer of Lochtey he builded a citie which he named Enuerlochtey, infranchising the same with a sanctuarie for the refuge of offen|dors. Enuerio|chtey is buil|ded. This citie afterwards was much frequented with merchants of France and Spaine, by reason of the great abundance of samons, herrings, and other fish which was taken there. The old ru ines of this citie in part remaine to be seene in that place where it stood, euen to this day. He likewise built an other citie in the east part of the realme néere to the water called Lochnesse, which he named Enuer|nesse, after the name of the water. Whither in Enuernesse builded. times past there resorted manie merchants of Ger|manie, with such merchandize as the inhabitants of the countrie there stood in néed of, exchanging the same with them for marterne skins, and other such furres, wherewith they made their returne. This ci|tie is as yet remaining, and beareth the old name, rich and well stored with diuers kinds of merchan|dize, so that this Ewin prooued a most famous prince for his worthie exploits right fortunatelie atchiued both in peace and warre. And finallie vnderstan|ding the death of his verie déere and intirelie be|loued friend Cadall, he repaired vnto Epiake, as Cadall de|ceased. well to giue order for the pacifieng of his sonnes be|ing at variance for their fathers inheritance, as also to doo the more honor to his friend now deceased, by erecting some monument néere vnto his sepulchre. Comming therefore to Epiake, and setting an ac|cord betwixt the yoong men, he caused an image to be made in all points resembling the personage of Cadall, as néere as might be: which he placed in the middest of the market steed, commanding the same to be honored with burning of incense and other di|uine ceremonies. Within a few daies also, through inward sorrow, as was thought, for the losse of so déere a friend, he began to wax sicke himselfe, and at length perceiuing he should not escape present death, he caused Ederus (of whom before mention is made) to be brought vnto him, into whose hands with manie wholsome aduertisements how to vse Ewin resig|neth the estate. himselfe in gouernement of his subiects, he wholie resigned the estate, the which after his deceasse he knew to be due vnto him without all question and controuersie: and afterward departed this world, Ewins de|cease. when he had reigned seuentéene yeares continuallie for the most part in high wealth and felicitie.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 AFter the decease of Ewin, Ederus was, in Ederus. maner before expressed, receiued for king by the whole assent of all the Scotishmen. Whose chéefe delight was altogither in hunting and kéeping of hounds and greihounds, to chase and pursue wild beasts, and namelie the woolfe the heardmans fo, by meanes whereof his aduancement was much more acceptable amongst the nobles, who in those daies were wholy giuen to that kind of pleasure and pastime. In the beginning of his reigne there was no trouble towards, the publike state of the realme being mainteined by vpright iustice, and all trans|gressions through terror of due punishment politike|lie repressed.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The first that went about to put him to any nota|ble trouble, was one Bredus of the Iles, néere of Bredus in|uadeth the Scots. kin to Gillus that vsurper and murtherer, who with a power of Irishmen, and other of the westerne Iles landed in Argile, wasting & spoiling the coun|trie with fire & sword, wherof Ederus being aduer|tised (who was at the same time in those parts hun|ting amongst the mounteins) gathered an armie Ederus bur|neth his eni|mies ships. with all spéed, and hasting to the place where his eni|mies ships laie at anchor, he first burned the same, to take awaie all meanes from them to escape by flight. The morning next following he did set vpon them also at vnwares: of whom some he slue, and the residue being taken, either in the fight or chase by his commandement were hanged, and cruellie executed to the example of all others.
