About the same time, [...]eause the Bri|tains had slaine the Romane lieutenant the empe|ror Constantius sent one Maximus thither to cha|stise the rebels, with whom the same Maximus in|countring in battell, gaue them a great ouerthrow. And within three daies after Octauius king of the Britains, through gréefe, age, and long sicknesse, being consumed to the last point, departed this life. He left a sonne behind him named also Octauius, who doubting to fall into the hands of the Romans, fled into the Ile of Man, and remained there cer|teine yéeres vnknowne with Eugenius and Etho|dius, the sonnes of Fincomarke. The Britains also persisting in their rebellion, were [...] discom [...]|ted in battell by Maximus, and sore by him persecu|ted, till he had brought them againe to their full sub|iection.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 While these troubles continued in Britaine, An|gusianus K. of Scots was sore disquieted by Nec|tanus Nectanus king of the Picts maketh [...]re w [...]rres [...]pon the Scots. king of Picts, who inforced himselfe to re|uenge the death of his cousine Romacus, making sundrie rodes & forraies into the Scotish confines, and greatlie indamaged the countrie, by spoiling of goods, murthering of the inhabitants, and burning of townes with villages; and in the end hauing his power increased by the aid of certeine Scotish|men, which had borne good will vnto Romacus, he preased so sore vpon Angusianus, that he had no re|medie but to trie the hazard of battell in a pitched field; for no friendlie persuasions to haue peace or anie agréement could be heard, though Angusianus made humble sute to haue purchased the same. Wherefore perceiuing no hope of attonement, he prepared an armie, and met his enimie in the field, where (after sore fight and much slaughter) the victo|rie remained with Angusianus and Nectanus with The Picts [...] by Scots. his Picts were chased and forced to saue themselues by flight.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 Nectanus himselfe neuer rested till he came vn|to Camelon, where he called a councell of his nobles to haue their aduise by what meanes he might be re|uenged of the iniuries receiued by the Scots, where|of Nectanus de|s [...]ous of re|uenge. he was most desirous, not regarding into what danger he brought his owne realme, so he might somewhat ease his rancour and displeasure, which he had thus conceiued against his enimies the Scots. Neither wanted there diuers great personages in that assemblie, which (to content his mind and to win fauour of him) set forward the matter in such earnest wise that (notwithstanding what other could say to the contrarie) it was ordeined that with all spéed an armie should be leuied, and led foorth into the Scotish borders. Nectanus hauing thus the con|sent of his nobles to inuade the Scots anew, cau|sed men of warre to be taken vp through all the par|ties of his dominion, and that of the choisest men that might be got; the which being once assembled, he staied not long but set forward with them, and Nectanus in|uadeth the Scotish con|fines. entred into Kalendar wood, spoiling and destroieng all afore him at his owne will and pleasure.
