the_o four_o chapter_n in_o what_o estate_n the_o commonwealth_n of_o the_o bataver_n be_v after_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o roman_a monarchy_n from_o these_o time_n until_o the_o first_o install_n of_o the_o earl_n which_o be_v about_o five_o hundred_o year_n after_o the_o history_n be_v very_o defective_a and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n as_o on_o the_o one_o side_n the_o saxon_n the_o the_o wilton_n the_o slavens_n and_o thereafter_o they_o of_o norway_n and_o the_o dane_n by_o invasion_n and_o robbery_n have_v do_v they_o very_o much_o harm_n so_o on_o the_o other_o part_n it_o be_v probable_a that_o while_o they_o defend_v their_o life_n and_o good_n and_o among_o many_o loss_n the_o valour_n of_o the_o bataver_n increase_v but_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v very_o obscure_a also_o at_o this_o

the_o bataver_n who_o dwelling_n be_v low_a in_o the_o island_n begin_v to_o be_v call_v freise_n the_o which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v marvel_v at_o in_o regard_n that_o in_o pliny_n his_o time_n one_o

the_o guard_n of_o the_o emperor_n be_v certain_a frisiabones_n now_o it_o appear_v well_o that_o the_o name_n of_o freise_n please_v they_o either_o because_o that_o same_o word_n in_o that_o
