First written in Latine, by Iames Glaucus a Germaine: and now translated into enlgish by VVilliam Cleuer scholemaster.

our_o realm_n and_o country_n take_v their_o beginning_n of_o the_o scythian_n blood_n in_o which_o it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o fleshly_a nature_n and_o natural_a consanguinity_n do_v ally_n our_o

not_o know_v what_o the_o prophecy_n of_o the_o old_a prophet_n raellon_n which_o in_o keep_v his_o goat_n in_o the_o wyldernesse_n be_v wont_a to_o sing_v ¶_o the_o prophecy_n ¶_o our_o father_n
