them all concludes Britain to be the most amiable and being in love with her beauty according to Solomon song 4. is resolved to take her to wife that he might beget a son of her body to inherit his glory therefore Jesus the King after the manner of Kings sends the most honourable of all his Disciples Joseph of Arimathea by Name an Embassadour to Britain and he coming to Arviragus then King of Britain was so courteously received that the King gave him some Land to inhabit and liberty to declare his message to the British Lady so called for method sake but the said Lady notwithstanding the Kings consent for modesty sake as prudent Ladies use to do in such a case doth not seem to grant her love to her beloved at the first motion because she might have been judged to be of an unconstant minde for altering her estate suddenly and without mature deliberation for these causes the suit continueth so that the agreement is not fully made between Jesus Christ and the British Lady until King Lucius time and then they were married with great joy and not long after the British Lady brings forth a son to Jesus Christ namely Constantine the great who gave such a wound to the enemies of Jesus Christ that they could never recover it we then being assured that the British Lady should bring forth another son to destroy all the enemies of Jesus Christ and receive of his glory for this cause Britain had many enemies that envied her because of this honour that God was pleased to give her which is worth your consideration Britain being thus exalted and her son made Emperour Satans Friends fell into a tottering condition therefore he stirreth all his instruments against the British Nation as the Saxons Danes Normans and all the Nations round about sought to destroy them till they drove the Britains into Wales and at last after much Wars for a long time through a guile used in their agreement with Edward the first who privately sent his Queen to Carnarvon where the first Prince of the English Race was born and the Britains submitting to him brought themselves into such misery that from Edward the first to Henry the sevenths time the Britains were in great slavery the English using them cruelly destroying their ancient Records prohibiting them to bring their Children up in Learning intending to extinguish their ancient Language and bring the prophesies and promises written in the same Language to none effect but for all that the Britains through Gods Providence preserved their Language and so much of their Writings as is needful to hold forth the truth for them And of all the enemies that we had since our coming to Britain the Romans were the most honest and noblest Enemy for they indeed esteemed the Britains according to their worth and quality making a difference between us and the Barbarous people round about us because the Romans found the Britains to be as good men as themselves were for all the Countries hereabout submitted to Julius Caesar without any great resistance but when he sent to Cassibelan King of the Britains to have him submit Cassibelan sent him word That he and the Britains had not learned as yet to live in servitude and that Caesar should find it a hard matter to bring them to it whereupon Caesar being in wrath came to Britain with all his Power but he found Britain so hot that he was forced to go back into France from whence he came and after many returns to little purpose being half ashamed Caesar sought to gaine the Britains by love and at last came to an agreement with them that the Romans and the Britains should become one people Thus they concluded So that you may see in the Chronicles as many more were Constantine the Great was a Britain by the one side and a Roman by the other for which cause Pompey who was sent from Rome to conquer the other side of the world sent a jeere to Caesar for that he could not otherways overcome such a small handful of people as he judged the Britains to be therefore Caesar bore him a grudge for it to his dying day so that before Pompey came to Rome Caesar having many of the Britains with him met him and shewed him the Britains Valour in a Battel where Pompey was slain and Caesar made Conqueror of the World And know this also that the Romans should never have had footing in Britain had Britain then been united within it self for King Lud died and left behind him under age four sons Cassibellan his Brother was made Protector and usurping the Throne Androgeus son and heir to Lud being deprived of his right agreed and sided with Caesar and went to Rome therefore many towns not submitting to Cassibellan because he was not their lawful King made much for Caesar and brought in the Romans as abovesaid so that Caesars report is true saying That Britain was divided when he invaded it but had he come in King Luds time he had found no entrance into Britain Yet as the truth is our Confedracie with the Romans did us much evil for our men going out of the Land to maintain the Romish interest made our number decrease and emboldened our pilfring Enemies to set upon us specially after they saw that huge host go out of Britain for the service of Christ under Constantine the Great Thus much touching the Romans as being worthy of note I thought good to shew you And now to return where I left The Britains as before you see were in great distress from the time of Edward the first to the time of Henry the seventh that is to say above two hundred years and for all their enemies could do to them the Britains kept their Language Records and Prophesies so that Henry the seventh being a Britain-promised Prince had them Prophesies as his guide and he observing them came accordingly to the Throne to the comfort of all people for he united York and Lancaster redeemed Wales and was the means to bring England and Scotland under one head and from that time to this day the Welch British blood according to the Welch Prophesies hath continued on the Throne of great Britain Thus far God hath done for us in fulfilling our prophesies blessed be his Name for ever and more is yet to be fulfilled of the said Prophesies which will infallibly come to pass as the rest did for God is come in his promises therefore now it is time for you English-men to consider it and not henceforth to despise deride and scorn the Welch that ye may as Britains be made partakers of the blessing with us denying your English or Saxon interest for surely the Saxons shall vanish as God hath determined it by our Prophesies The mystery of our Prophesies and Knowledge was delivered to us of old by Samothea or as Moses calls him Gen. 10. 2. Meshech that is a Messenger or Angel of God others call him
