All these Barbarians were divided into several Bands or Parties who had each their Captain and made Incursions and Ravages without intermission So far they proceeded that there was seen at the same time People of the same Nation in Places far remote one from the other and in Interests directly opposite In the Year 408 Stilicon Honorius's Lieutenant who was accused for introducing them is massacred by the Order of Honorius the Emperor Alaric King of the Visigoths his good Friend to revenge his Death besieged the City of Rome Three times and the last takes it by Treason on the Twentieth Day of August in the Year 410.

order and besides there was hardly any but in the Adjacent Provinces Yet as the Country was agreeable and fertile and the People extreamly subject they were imposed upon by all manner of Exactions insomuch that their Abundance● encreased their Misery and their Obedience heigthned their Oppression In the Year 330 when Constantine the Great divided the Charge of Prefe●du Pretoire into Four Gaul enjoyed one who had under him Three Vicars one in Gaul it self one in Spain and one in Great Britain The First who had this Charge was the Father of St. Ambrose bearing the same Name as his Son This Praefect usually resided in the City of Triers which for this reason was the Capital of the Gauls till having been Four times sack'd by the Barbarians the Emperor Honorius would transfer this Prerogative to the City of Arles which was at length taken off from Vienna and made up the Eighteenth Metropolis From Augustus to Galien the Peace of these Provinces was disturbed by Two Revolts that of Sacrovir and Florus in the Twenty Third Year of Jesus Christ and that of Civilis Tutor Classicus which was much more dangerous in the Year 70. After the Death of the Emperor Decius the Barbarians began to torment them by frequent Incursions For the First Hundred Years there were none but French and Germans that were concerned in them on this side the Rhine but afterwards the Misfortune was redoubled by the horrible Devastations of Vandals Bourguignons Sueves Visigoths and Huns which did not end but with the ruin of the Empire in the West As to the Original of the French the common opinion is that they are natural Germans and that France is the name of a League which in their Language signified Free or as others say Fierce Insuperable 'T is certain that the Authors of the Third and Fourth Ages by the name of German almost always mean the French As for the time in which they began to appear it was exactly Two Years after the great Defeat of the Emperor Decius in Mesia which happened in the Year 254 by the Goths and other People of Seythia The Goths had begun to make themselves known but Twelve Years before they went out of their own Country which was European Scythia between the Euxin Sea and the River Tanais to ransack the Provinces of the Empire They were divided into Ostrogoths and Visigoths that is to say according to some Eastern Goths and Western Goths After this Defeat all the Fences of the Roman Empire being ruinated on that side there broke out Torrents of all sorts of Barbarians who had not been so much as heard of till then 'T is for this reason amongst others and because the French had also much of the Behaviors and Customs of the Scythians as to use Darts to exercise Hawking c. that one is apt to conjecture that they are originally Scythians But it is not po●ible and it would be super uous to say of what Place because all the Scythians were Vagabonds and that in a little time they were found Two and Three Hundred Leagues distance from the Country which they inhabited a little before The First time then that there is mention made of them is in the Year 256 under the Empire of Gallus and Volusian when they passed the R●ine near Mentz and when Aurelian who was yet but Tribune of a Legion killed Seven Hundred of them in an Encounter and made Three Hundred Prisoners who were sold at the publick Sale From this first Irruption to the time when they conquered or besought of the Romans the Possession of some Lands in Gaul to wit in the Countries of Cologne Leige and the Neighbouring parts there passed near 180 Years which was in the Year 416. There was lodged a Party in Brabant in the time of Julian the Apostate towards the Year 358 but it is not known whether they were permitted to establish themselves there During these Two Ages they continued their Incursions with divers Successes always retiring with their Booty into Germany They possessed there the most part of those Lands which are between the Mein and the Rhine the Weser and the Ocean sometimes more sometimes less extended according as they were weak or powerful and as the● were pressed by other Nations particularly by the Germans towards th● Mein and the Saxons towards th● Sea These last proceeding from a Coun●try which we now call Holstein seise● upon Friesland and the Marine part● on this side the River Elbe then a● the French established themselves i● Gaul they succeeded in the possession of the greatest part of those which they had enjoyed beyond the Rhine The French Nation was divided into several People (a) West-Friesland Great and (b) North-Holland Little Frisons (c) Zeland Salians (d) Bishoprick of Munster Brucheri (e) Bishoprick of Osnaburg Angrivarians (f) Bishoprick of Minden Chamaves (g) Dutchy of Westphaly Sicambres and (h) Hesse Catti And it had as I suppose divers others in its Alliance and others also under its Dominion Oftentimes the Romans went to assault them in their Woods and Marshes and thought to extirpate them Two or Three times particularly Constantine the Great but they repulsed them always They had several Captains or Commanders Kings Princes Dukes or Generals who had no absolute Authority but in War Sometimes they served as Stipendaries to the Romans sometimes became their Subjects but as soon as the time was changed and that they found an occasion to pillage they supposed themselves no longer obliged to entertain● Treaties for which Reason the Authors of those times accuse them of Inconstancy Lying and Perfidiousness So that we at this time need not give our selves the trouble of admiring at their Treacherous Practices and unmanly Attempts since they have them from their first Original and since they seem to be carried on thereto as it were by Natural Instinct deriving their Unworthy Qualities from their Predecessors The last Day of the Year 406 the Alains and Vandals seducing along with them the Bourguignons the Sueves and several other Barbarous People passed the Rhine and made an irruption into Gaul which was the most furious and severe that had been yet seen These Barbarians having ransacked all the First Germany and the Second Belgick transferr'd themselves into Aquitain In the Year 409 some Bands of Vandals and Sueves passed from thence into Spain Two Years after the others being consternated at the March of Ataulfe King of the Visigoths who came from Haly took the same Road and followed them There remained notwithstanding some of the Alains in Dauphine and upon the Banks of the Loire who enjoyed a Succession of Kings for above Sixty Years together but in the end they underwent the Dominion of the Visigoths and Bourguignons The Vandals and Sueves seized upon la Galice the Silinges la Betique and the Alains part of Lusit ania and the Province of Carthagene Sixteen Years after the
