opinion_n 1108._o year_n before_o the_o vulgar_a time_n of_o the_o birth_n of_o christ_n which_o because_o it_o be_v about_o such_o time_n as_o silvius_n posthumus_n end_v his_o reign_n give_v occasion_n to_o some_o idle_a head_a monk_n to_o deliver_v to_o posterity_n that_o brute_n be_v his_o son_n and_o thereupon_o descend_v from_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o trojan_n and_o that_o this_o may_v carry_v with_o it_o the_o face_n of_o a_o history_n they_o stick_v not_o to_o tell_v we_o that_o which_o not_o roman_a writer_n report_v viz._n that_o he_o shall_v kill_v his_o own_o father_n by_o chance_n and_o thereupon_o forsake_v his_o own_o country_n to_o seek_v his_o fortune_n elsewhere_o but_o verstegan_n prove_v all_o this_o to_o be_v fabulous_a and_o admire_v much_o to_o see_v how_o many_o people_n have_v seek_v to_o derive_v their_o descent_n from_o the_o trojan_n and_o how_o that_o many_o foundation_n of_o city_n be_v report_v to_o have_v lay_v by_o they_o yea_o say_v he_o the_o folly_n of_o man_n have_v be_v such_o that_o they_o have_v give_v the_o glory_n to_o the_o fugitive_a people_n of_o almost_o all_o that_o be_v excellent_a in_o all_o europe_n this_o therefore_o will_v be_v wise_o consider_v for_o it_o stand_v with_o far_o more_o likelihood_n of_o truth_n that_o we_o hold_v he_o for_o some_o aeneas_n some_o alstedius_n say_v he_o come_v into_o france_n out_o of_o italy_n &_o be_v at_o the_o first_o a_o king_n of_o a_o people_n there_o call_v rutuli_n and_o that_o he_o be_v drive_v thence_o by_o aeneas_n prince_n of_o gallia_n from_o whence_o he_o come_v when_o he_o arrive_v here_o in_o this_o island_n then_o call_v albion_n where_o conquer_a the_o present_a inhabitant_n he_o settle_v himself_o and_o obtain_v the_o rule_n and_o dominion_n over_o the_o whole_a land_n which_o now_o after_o he_o the_o conqueror_n must_v be_v call_v britain_n at_o the_o time_n of_o his_o death_n he_o divide_v the_o whole_a into_o three_o part_n and_o leave_v they_o to_o be_v govern_v by_o his_o three_o son_n locrine_n albanact_n and_o camber_n unto_o locrine_n who_o be_v the_o elder_a he_o leave_v loegria_n now_o call_v england_n unto_o albanact_n the_o second_o son_n he_o allot_v albania_n now_o call_v scotland_n and_o unto_o camber_n the_o three_o son_n he_o give_v cambria_n now_o call_v wales_n and_o all_o this_o when_o he_o have_v reign_v twenty_o four_o year_n namely_o twenty_o after_o he_o build_v london_n and_o four_o before_o this_o be_v the_o first_o king_n the_o next_o as_o i_o say_v be_v locrine_n of_o who_o and_o his_o successor_n i_o intend_v to_o make_v no_o large_a discourse_n but_o shall_v rather_o endeavour_v to_o set_v down_o the_o king_n and_o year_n that_o they_o reign_v as_o punctual_o as_o i_o can_v not_o vary_v from_o what_o be_v common_o account_v except_o upon_o good_a ground_n for_o the_o reconcile_n of_o this_o story_n to_o other_o history_n and_o to_o effect_v this_o i_o shall_v gather_v out_o of_o sundry_a author_n the_o year_n of_o their_o reign_n follow_v no_o one_o not_o further_a than_o i_o find_v just_a cause_n for_o unless_o a_o eye_n be_v have_v not_o only_o to_o the_o time_n
