mention_n of_o the_o battavian_n king_n in_o like_o manner_n also_o it_o be_v that_o the_o ancient_a writer_n of_o the_o french_a and_o german_a history_n about_o this_o time_n do_v nominate_v certain_a king_n of_o the_o freise_n which_o have_v hold_v hard_a war_n against_o the_o franc_n and_o among_o other_o the_o name_n of_o radbond_n be_v very_o famous_a who_o head_n be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o castle_n at_o medenblick_a after_o the_o king_n you_o shall_v find_v certain_a general_n express_v by_o their_o name_n these_o be_v they_o which_o be_v call_v potentate_n it_o be_v somewhat_o strange_a that_o which_o we_o read_v in_o procopius_n that_o in_o the_o great_a sea_n about_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o rhine_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o island_n call_v britton_n lie_v opposite_a against_o great_a britain_n that_o the_o same_o island_n be_v inhabit_v by_o three_o nation_n who_o name_n be_v the_o briton_n english_a and_o friese_n from_o whence_o yearly_o many_o people_n go_v to_o inhabit_v the_o habit_a country_n of_o the_o franc_n and_o that_o for_o this_o occasion_n the_o franc_n although_o they_o have_v no_o other_o interest_n in_o that_o island_n the_o which_o also_o be_v govern_v by_o their_o own_o king_n yet_o nevertheless_o they_o endeavour_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v and_o be_v believe_v that_o it_o be_v subject_a under_o they_o and_o hereupon_o the_o king_n of_o the_o franc_n send_v a_o ambassador_n unto_o constantinople_n unto_o the_o emperor_n justinianus_n do_v therewithal_o send_v some_o of_o the_o people_n of_o the_o foresaid_a island_n that_o by_o that_o mean_n he_o may_v have_v a_o pretence_n of_o authority_n over_o that_o island_n that_o this_o britton_n be_v battavia_n or_o else_o a_o part_n of_o battavia_n border_v upon_o the_o sea_n may_v with_o some_o approbation_n of_o the_o truth_n be_v speak_v because_o there_o be_v no_o other_o island_n in_o the_o sea_n that_o have_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o rhine_n in_o it_o and_o moreover_o and_o above_o it_o appear_v that_o upon_o the_o sea_n shore_n of_o battavia_n upon_o the_o middle_a mouth_n of_o the_o rhine_n there_o stand_v a_o house_n call_v britton_n whereof_o yet_o even_o in_o these_o day_n the_o remain_a foundation_n be_v yet_o see_v and_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n then_o that_o either_o the_o house_n take_v this_o name_n from_o the_o island_n or_o else_o the_o island_n take_v its_o name_n from_o the_o house_n in_o the_o like_a manner_n as_o with_o we_o here_o in_o holland_n the_o name_n of_o the_o river_n have_v of_o old_a be_v call_v the_o fly_n then_o after_o the_o house_n stand_v thereupon_o get_v the_o same_o name_n so_o that_o even_o now_o the_o whole_a island_n be_v call_v flieland_n which_o if_o this_o be_v true_a then_o be_v there_o yet_o two_o other_o nation_n which_o inhabit_v that_o island_n beside_o those_o that_o be_v bear_v in_o the_o island_n which_o we_o have_v say_v before_o be_v call_v friese_n viz._n the_o english_a which_o be_v a_o old_a german_a people_n and_o the_o briton_n which_o peradventure_o be_v enforce_v by_o the_o violence_n of_o the_o pick_n and_o man_n of_o norway_n to_o leave_v their_o native_a country_n and_o to_o seek_v they_o a_o place_n of_o a_o more_o strong_a refuge_n and_o retreat_n it_o be_v therefore_o without_o all_o doubt_n that_o the_o english_a and_o saxon_n possess_v the_o sea_n coast_n which_o be_v the_o near_a unto_o the_o bataver_n and_o that_o they_o divers_a time_n sail_v from_o thence_o into_o britain_n which_o be_v now_o call_v england_n it_o be_v also_o manifest_a that_o willebord_n a_o english_a man_n come_v hither_o out_o of_o england_n and_o preach_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n unto_o our_o forefather_n in_o the_o same_o language_n that_o be_v then_o speak_v in_o england_n it_o be_v also_o credible_a that_o the_o briton_n betake_v themselves_o for_o their_o refuge_n as_o well_o unto_o the_o moorish_a part_n of_o our_o country_n as_o unto_o the_o sea_n coast_n of_o france_n which_o be_v now_o call_v little_a britain_n but_o that_o the_o franc_n strive_v for_o the_o reputation_n of_o their_o kingdom_n do_v affirm_v that_o it_o shall_v have_v extend_v so_o far_o who_o indeed_o have_v no_o command_n over_o this_o island_n or_o at_o least_o not_o below_o utrecht_n the_o which_o some_o do_v affirm_v to_o be_v the_o period_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o franc_n then_o call_v austrasian_o which_o do_v very_o well_o approve_v the_o liberty_n of_o the_o sea-border_a bataver_n from_o whence_o it_o be_v credible_a that_o they_o be_v multiply_v from_o time_n to_o time_n by_o the_o increase_n of_o new_a nation_n and_o that_o they_o have_v make_v peace_n with_o the_o franc_n for_o fear_n of_o the_o people_n of_o norway_n and_o unite_n themselves_o by_o a_o fast_n and_o sure_a league_n have_v continue_v their_o old_a manner_n of_o government_n as_o well_o under_o their_o king_n

of_o the_o earl_n of_o holland_n there_o be_v in_o holland_n many_o prince_n that_o have_v their_o authority_n not_o over_o the_o whole_a nation_n but_o each_o of_o they_o over_o some_o one_o part_n thereof_o as_o those_o have_v whereof_o tacitus_n and_o caesar_n do_v make_v mention_n of_o these_o prince_n be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o graven_n or_o grafiones_fw-la which_o we_o in_o

be_v both_o the_o old_a name_n of_o famous_a fence_a city_n beside_o some_o other_o lesser_a city_n as_o grinnes_n vada_n aranacum_n and_o other_o whereof_o tacitus_n and_o pentingerus_n in_o their_o

magistrate_n next_o unto_o the_o prince_n have_v very_o great_a authority_n in_o their_o public_a assembly_n and_o that_o the_o simple_a common_a people_n busy_v themselves_o some_o with_o till_v of_o the_o land_n other_o with_o feed_v of_o cattle_n and_o other_o with_o fish_n and_o with_o merchandise_n and_o other_o occupation_n belong_v thereunto_o that_o they_o very_o willing_o commit_v the_o

flourish_a time_n of_o the_o roman_a monarchy_n we_o have_v already_o hear_v after_o what_o manner_n the_o government_n of_o the_o bataver_n be_v at_o the_o very_a original_a beginning_n of_o that_o people_n but_o in_o regard_n that_o the_o magnificence_n of_o the_o roman_n do_v oppress_v so_o many_o other_o nation_n that_o they_o make_v free_a commonwealth_n to_o be_v their_o tributary_n province_n and_o that_o they_o use_v the_o very_a king_n themselves_o as_o instrument_n of_o slavery_n as_o some_o writer_n affirm_v so_o peradventure_o may_v some_o think_v that_o these_o common_a lord_n the_o bataver_n be_v use_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n also_o and_o that_o the_o rather_o because_o we_o read_v in_o tacitus_n that_o the_o bataver_n leave_v the_o land_n of_o hessen_n to_o dwell_v in_o a_o place_n where_o they_o shall_v be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o roman_a monarchy_n but_o after_o what_o manner_n that_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v the_o author_n own_o word_n present_o follow_v do_v declare_v where_o he_o say_v that_o the_o mattiack_n be_v near_o neighbour_n unto_o the_o bataver_n be_v in_o the_o very_a same_o custom_n with_o the_o roman_n that_o be_v to_o pleasure_v they_o which_o word_n do_v not_o appertain_v unto_o a_o subject_n but_o unto_o a_o friend_n add_v yet_o further_o thereunto_o that_o it_o so_o far_o extend_v itself_o not_o unto_o the_o monarchy_n but_o to_o the_o homage_n of_o the_o monarchy_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o toleration_n one_o sort_n that_o be_v equal_a and_o another_o sort_n that_o be_v unequal_a the_o unequal_a be_v when_o one_o nation_n be_v subject_a under_o the_o authority_n of_o another_o the_o equal_a be_v when_o as_o each_o of_o these_o nation_n do_v continue_v in_o their_o own_o privilege_n notwithstanding_o though_o one_o nation_n oftentimes_o be_v more_o mighty_a than_o the_o other_o although_o their_o privilege_n be_v both_o alike_o yet_o oftentimes_o it_o come_v so_o to_o pass_v that_o those_o that_o have_v the_o least_o might_n although_o the_o toleration_n be_v equal_a yet_o nevertheless_o very_o willing_o do_v certain_a homage_n unto_o those_o that_o be_v the_o more_o mighty_a and_o do_v endeavour_v to_o please_v they_o and_o in_o this_o case_n it_o be_v credible_a that_o the_o bataver_n have_v do_v homage_n unto_o the_o roman_n and_o yet_o have_v not_o be_v subject_a under_o their_o command_n the_o word_n society_n show_v the_o very_a same_o the_o which_o tacitus_n use_v in_o the_o same_o place_n which_o society_n be_v also_o honourable_a for_o say_v he_o they_o hold_v their_o reputation_n and_o the_o token_n of_o the_o old_a society_n for_o the_o society_n betoken_v a_o equality_n of_o each_o other_o privilege_n and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o when_o as_o the_o word_n of_o reputation_n be_v add_v thereunto_o the_o which_o can_v be_v understand_v in_o a_o nation_n which_o submit_v themselves_o unto_o another_o either_o by_o yield_v or_o by_o a_o unequal_a toleration_n yet_o in_o another_o place_n tacitus_n speak_v more_o clear_o of_o the_o bataver_n where_o he_o say_v that_o they_o be_v in_o the_o society_n of_o such_o as_o be_v more_o mighty_a than_o themselves_o be_v nowhit_z dismay_v at_o the_o magnificence_n of_o the_o roman_n for_o as_o common_o among_o those_o that_o be_v so_o unequal_a there_o continue_v no_o society_n but_o rather_o such_o a_o one_o as_o the_o lion_n make_v whereof_o the_o fable_n make_v report_n who_o urge_v all_o to_o that_o point_n that_o the_o strong_a shall_v have_v all_o wherein_o

privilege_n not_o only_o in_o word_n but_o in_o very_a deed_n also_o i_o will_v conclude_v this_o point_n yet_o after_o this_o manner_n the_o nation_n that_o be_v under_o the_o roman_n show_v that_o they_o be_v subject_a under_o they_o by_o these_o three_o token_n first_o that_o they_o be_v under_o the_o command_n of_o the_o roman_a magistrate_n second_o that_o they_o be_v tributary_n and_o three_o that_o they_o pay_v toll_n now_o concerning_o the_o roman_a magistrate_n they_o be_v never_o in_o the_o island_n of_o the_o bataver_n whereupon_o civilis_n in_o his_o oration_n unto_o his_o

concerning_o the_o tribute_n and_o toll_v from_o which_o almost_o no_o nation_n be_v free_a although_o it_o have_v be_v for_o no_o other_o end_n and_o purpose_n in_o they_o but_o for_o this_o
