of_o they_o in_o relation_n to_o the_o present_a language_n wherein_o god_n be_v praise_v within_o the_o isle_n but_o when_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o old_a inhabitant_n he_o speak_v only_o of_o the_o

may_v have_v tell_v he_o precise_o when_o we_o settle_v if_o we_o have_v not_o settle_v here_o till_o then_o the_o doctor_n be_v second_a answer_n be_v that_o beda_n do_v not_o at_o all_o intimate_a that_o the_o scot_n be_v in_o britain_n before_o the_o roman_n and_o saxon_n to_o which_o it_o be_v reply_v that_o beda_n be_v a_o chronologue_n and_o be_v careful_a of_o the_o notation_n of_o time_n where_o he_o know_v it_o and_o therefore_o it_o seem_v still_o to_o i_o and_o have_v do_v so_o to_o such_o as_o understand_v well_o chronology_n as_o sure_a a_o demonstration_n as_o that_o science_n can_v allow_v that_o the_o scot_n be_v name_v as_o one_o of_o the_o three_o ancient_a nation_n inhabit_v this_o isle_n and_o their_o action_n against_o the_o briton_n and_o roman_n be_v narrate_v before_o the_o saxon_n be_v say_v to_o have_v enter_v that_o therefore_o their_o settlement_n must_v be_v the_o elder_a though_o it_o be_v not_o say_v in_o express_a term_n and_o if_o any_o account_n of_o king_n or_o memorable_a action_n be_v set_v down_o by_o a_o chronologue_n without_o add_v the_o year_n these_o thing_n behove_v to_o be_v consider_v ancient_a according_a to_o the_o order_n wherein_o they_o be_v express_v especial_o in_o this_o case_n since_o the_o 14._o defeat_n of_o the_o briton_n by_o the_o scot_n and_o pict_n be_v make_v the_o cause_n of_o bring_v in_o the_o saxon_n
