of_o a_o greek_a original_a which_o though_o it_o can_v be_v true_a consider_v how_o i_o have_v show_v before_o that_o the_o phoenician_n trade_v into_o these_o island_n some_o hundred_o of_o year_n before_o ever_o any_o greek_a enter_v these_o sea_n yet_o do_v it_o plain_o show_v that_o they_o be_v of_o long_o stand_v in_o these_o island_n than_o be_v common_o suppose_v 1._o now_o as_o for_o the_o first_o reason_n give_v that_o these_o island_n must_v be_v plant_v by_o navigator_n tacitus_n i_o think_v will_v not_o hold_v good_a unless_o we_o call_v there_o navigator_n who_o in_o small_a

but_o that_o the_o phoenician_n precede_v they_o both_o in_o time_n and_o experience_n in_o those_o art_n have_v be_v show_v already_o 3._o to_o the_o three_o that_o although_o their_o colony_n be_v numerous_a yet_o be_v they_o not_o so_o early_o as_o those_o of_o the_o phoenician_n 4._o to_o the_o four_o that_o although_o their_o language_n be_v very_o frequent_a in_o britain_n and_o the_o welsh_a to_o this_o day_n have_v very_o much_o in_o it_o yet_o can_v we_o reasonable_o suppose_v that_o it_o be_v the_o only_a language_n of_o the_o country_n because_o we_o find_v not_o their_o tongue_n in_o any_o country_n so_o soon_o and_o so_o much_o corrupt_v so_o as_o in_o caesar_n there_o be_v no_o notice_n take_v of_o it_o at_o all_o which_o he_o certain_o will_v have_v do_v if_o he_o have_v find_v the_o british_a tongue_n only_o a_o derivation_n from_o the_o greek_a or_o corruption_n in_o dialect_n and_o not_o a_o quite_o different_a language_n as_o for_o the_o similitude_n that_o be_v make_v between_o druid_n and_o roman_a clergy_n at_o this_o day_n i_o think_v it_o hold_v better_a if_o we_o suppose_v the_o religion_n and_o worship_n of_o the_o greek_n bring_v hither_o and_o preserve_v in_o its_o native_a language_n than_o to_o conjecture_v that_o the_o people_n understand_v it_o at_o first_o but_o by_o time_n and_o ill_a manner_n lose_v the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o 5._o to_o the_o five_o that_o the_o chariot_n of_o greece_n as_o well_o as_o other_o custom_n of_o they_o use_v by_o the_o britain_n argue_v the_o greek_n to_o have_v be_v here_o indeed_o but_o prove_v

in_o this_o island_n yet_o caesar_n and_o tacitus_n take_v no_o notice_n of_o the_o inland_a people_n more_o than_o the_o gaulish_a britain_n tacitus_n as_o i_o may_v call_v they_o as_o be_v of_o a_o
