Deputy who yet to this day continueth in that honourable office ¶ Of the Kingdome of Scotland ACcording to the ancient Historiographers of Scotland in description of their Nations first off-spring and originall after Brutes first deuision of Brittaine to his Sonnes they make relation of a Noble man among the Grecians that was named Gathelus the sonne of Cecrops in the iudgement of some who builded Athens but according to the conceite of others the Sonne of Argus Nealus fourth King of the Argines This Gathelus being banished by his Father for some matter of disobedience departed thence into Aegypt in the thirty three yeare of Pharao Orus then King of that Countrey and there carried himselfe with such valiant and extraordinary successe against the Countries Enemies in the company of Moses Generall vnder the King himselfe that Pharao bestowed his faire Daughter named Scota on him in mariage hauing also then giuen him and his foll●wers the Citty Thebes Aegyptiaca reported to be taken from the Israelites Vpon iust occasion Gathelus after his Fathers in Lawes decease leauing Egypt being prouided of Shippes and other apt necessaries tooke his Wife Children and a great multitude both of Greeks and Ethyopians and setting forth of Nilus determined to séeke his fortune in other Countries This was in the year of the worlds creation 2453. and after his abiding in Egypt aboue 39. years what accidents befell him in this voyage is néedelesse to report his first arriuall was on the Coastes of Numidia in Affrick now named Barbary but being not able to settle there he came into a part of Spaine long after termed Lusitania It is said that the place of his landing there was called Port-Gathele after the name of Gathelus which afterward became corruptly to bee called Portgale or Portingale the certainty whereof I referre to better iudgements The people there inhabiting gaue both him and his at the first a bold repulse but in the end hee preuailed victoriously and after further friendly conference with the Spaniards he began to builde a Citty named Brachara on the bankes of the Riuer Mundus and so at the first did hee name the Citty it selfe Gathelus by the Spaniards further perswasions promise of assistance to their vttermost whatsoeuer disasters should betide him and his remooued to the Northside of Spaine on the Cantabrian Sea coasts now called Galitia where he builded likewise another Cittie named Brigantia afterwarde called Nouium and nowe Compostella Héere did Gathelus bear the Title of king and gaue lawes to his people commanding that they should all be called Scottish-men to honour the name of his deare beloued wife Scota as hee had alwayes so tearmed them in the time of his trauailes In time they grew to be so great a Nation that the Spaniards warring with them for their owne safety sustained the worst though victory remained to the Scots yet such good Orders were agréed on that both Scots and Spaniards should obserue their own lawes without inuasion offered on either side Then did Gathelus liue in peace with his neighbors sitting daily on his Marble stone in Brigantia administring Lawes and Iustice to his people which stone was fashioned like a seat or chaire hauing such a fate thereto belonging as is said that wheresoeuer that stone should be found there shoulde the Scottishmen raigne and hold dominion Héereof it ensued that there first in Spain afterward in Ireland and next in Scotland the Kings ruling ouer the Scottishmen receiued the Crowne sitting vppon that stone vntill the time of Robert the first King of Scotland On the stone was this inscription engrauen Ni fallat fatum Scoti quocunque locatum Inuenient lapidem regnare tenentur ibidem Englished thus Except olde Sawes doo faile and Wizards wits be blinde The Scots in place must raigne where they this Stone shal finde This quiet life of Gathelus did so daily encrease the aboundance of his people that the bounds of his dominion was not able to containe them and he beeing religious in couenant with the Spaniards auoiding all meanes of breach of the peace hauing intelligence of an Island lying North ouer against Spaine and wherein was but fewe inhabitantes made readie his shipping leuyed an Armie of his subiectes and vnder conduct of his two sonnes named Hiberus and Himecus or Hermion which hee had by his Quéene Scota conueyed them ouer into that Island which after-warde was named Hibernia after the name of Hiberus The History recordeth that the Scottishmen offered no violence to the inhabitants but fought all meanes to win them by gentlenesse which in the end was easilie compassed and all thinges appointed in decent order which made Hiber leaue his Brother to gouerne there in Hilberland or Ireland and return backe to Spaine There he found his Father Gathelus to be dead and hee with the peoples ioyfull consent was admitted to succéed him as his son but in regard of his admirable courage not satisfied with those bounds that pleased his father he made conquest of other Citties Towns neere about him so that they were inforced to sue vnto him for peace and agreed to such conditions that a league concluded amity and mariage contracts betwéen both Scots and Spaniards causing them to become as one people continuing their succession of Kings after Hibers death

Richard 1. the cittizens obtained to be gouerned by 2. Baliffes who in auncient déedes were called Sheriffes as the Lawe tearmeth the Shire Balliua vsing the same office of Shriuewick as the Portgraues before did The names of the first Bayliffes or Officers entring into their dignity at the Feast of Saint Michaell the Arch-angell Anno 1189 were Henry Cornehill and Richard Reynere King Richard also at that very time appointed a supreame Officer aboue the rest by the name of Maior which worde was borrowed from the Haebrew word Mar and signifieth Dominus Lord a word vsed by the Franconians and old Saxons their Neighbours of whom English-men haue their Originall but called Maire as the French did their Maires of the Pallace Thus was the chiefe Gouernor called Lord Maire or Maior because they vnderstood not that the epethite Maire or Maior implyed no lesse then lord without any other additions yet thus was it thē giuen for a larger augmentation of Honor. Now as the Goldsmiths yéelded London a Prouost before named Leofstanus euen so the same Company albeit not as yet rancked into a List of Brother-hood gaue London likewise the first Lord Maire or Maior in Dignity whose name was Henry Fitz-Alwin Fitz-Liefstane and being so appointed by the King he continued in that supreame Office from the first yeare of King Richard the first vntill the fiftéenth of K.
