Heath Englands CHRONICLE OR The Lives and Reigns of all the Kings and Queens from the time of JVLIVS CAESAR to the present Reign of K. William Qu. Mary c. A Discription of the Island of Britain with its Original Denomination c. THE Island of Great Britain whose Fame has travel'd with the Sun and reached the remotest Kingdoms of the Earth is bounded with Germany and Denmark on the East or properly with the German Ocian on the West with Ireland or the Irish Seas on the North with the Ducalidonian Seas and on the South with France and Normandy scituate in the eighth Climate of the North Latitude and placed in relation to Longitude between the Parrals of fourteen and sixteen Containing in length from Strathy-Head in the Kingdom of Scotland to the Lizard point in Cornwal Six Hundred Twenty Four Miles and in Breadth from the Isle of Thannet in Kent to the Lands end in Cernwal Three Hundred and Forty Miles though formerly its Limits were Fancied from the Orcad●s to the 〈…〉 Mountain● As for the time of its being peopled even the most curious Historians vary some hold it to be inhabited long before the Flood and that being a part of France it was by the Rapid Inundation of the Universe broken off from the Continent where now the Channel parts Dover from Calais and by that means being left by the Flood became an Island But this I conceive only conjectural without any warrantable Testimony and is grounded upon the Pariety of the Soils and Temprature of Air. Since that there are others that will have it possessed by one Albion a Gyant who beat out the Samotheans whose Gigantick Race increased till the time that King Brute Coasting these Seas with a powre of Trojans under his Command observing its spaciousness and fertility made a Descent and subdued it and of this latter Opinion is the so much Celebrate Antiquary and Historian Jeffry of Monmouth and from this Trojan Prince he would have us believe the Island took its Name But those who have seriously enquired into the Date he proposes for the Landing of Brute viz. In the 2887 Year of the worlds Creation find not any Foundation to Build a belief that such a Man was ever in these Parts but rather the Name was derived from the word Prith or Brith signifying Painting and probably the Greeks who were then the greatest Navigators Sailing along the Coast and perceiving the painted People that inhabited it might from that signification give it a Name as indeed they did to most Islands and Countries that were not Civilized where ever they came or it might be from the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Mettals for its abounding with Mettals as it had done that of Albion from Albis Rupibus viz. White Rocks that appear towards the Coast of France These are the Conjecturals and we might run on in a maze of uncertainty till we tired the Reader considering that before the Landing of the Romans th● People were uncivilized keeping no Writings or R● cords of their Country or Actions to Druids or Priests themselves being a kind of Magicians or such as dealt in Spells and Charms preserving their Religious Rites and Ceremonies in Hieroglipicks and Figures after the manner of Egypt the better to create an Awe and Dread upon the more ignorant and raise an esteem and veneration of themselves which otherwise must have much abated the Credit they had gained But leaving things that are doubtful and have never been fully cleared by the most curious and industrious Writers we come to what is more warrantable and for what we have sure● grounds laying aside the Story of the Samothes sprung from the 〈◊〉 Son of Japhat perhaps as Fabulous as the rest and that is to the Year of the Worlds Creation 3873. Viz. Caius Julius Caesar by the prevailing Arms of the Roman Commonwealth having subdued Gallia now France and a great part of Germany thirsty of new Glory
