Italyan myles It is nowe gessed to be 30. englyshe myles Of the first naming of this I le is yet no certaine determination for asmuch as there remayneth no auncyent hystorie making thereof remembraunce the olde Britons bookes such as were being all destroyed by the Saxons who endeuoured themselues to extinct vtterly the honorable renowne wyth the name of Brytons like as the Gothes delt with the Romaines Also the part of Titus Liuius where the conquest of Brytaine is remembred with the histories of Iulius Rusticus and dyuers other noble wryters that wrote specially of this countrey are vtterly perished Such as remaine as the Comentaries of Iulius Caesar Cornelius Tacitus Diodorus Siculus and they that wrote of Cosmographie haue omitted the orignall begynning of the name The hystorye of Eyldas the Bryton cannot be founde who was after the Saxons had inuaded thys Realme and therefore mought lacke such bookes as shoulde best instruct hym As for Beda séemeth to haue séene nothing wrytten of that matter For where he sayth that this I le tooke the name Britannia of the inhabytants of Brytaine in Fraunce it is nothing lyke to be true For that country was not long before the time of Beda named Armorica Armoricus tractus when this I le was called of most auncient wryters Britannia and as Solinus writeth séemed to be an other worlde for as much as the west part of Gallia was thought to be the vttermost part of this worlde Also Iulius Caesar wryteth that the places of thys I le were vnknowne to French men sauing to a fewe marchauntes and yet they knew no farther then the sea coast towarde Fraunce Moreouer the same Brytons affyrme that it was left among them in remembraunce that the innermost part of the countrey was inhabited of them which had their first beginning in the same I le This well considered with the authoritie of the wryter both an excellent Prince and also a great learned man and was himselfe in thys I le it is not to be doubted but that he most diligently searched for the true knowledge of the auncientie therof And if he mought haue founden that the inhabytaunts had come of the stocke of Eneas of whose progenie he himselfe came he woulde haue reioyced much for the prowesse and valiant courage which he commended in them Moreouer that the name came of Brutus whome our wryters ymagined to discende of Eneas the Troyan is no more lykely than that thys Ile was called Albion of Dioclesians daughter or of white rockes All the olde Latin hystorians agrée that the sonne of Syluius the seconde in succession from Eneas and of them named the sonne of Ascanius was Eneas called also Siluius wherevnto the Greekes doe also accorde but they name Syluius to be brother to Ascanius and borne after the death of Eneas and was therefore called Posthumus But neyther the Romaynes nor the Gréekes doe write of any man called Brutus before Iulius Brutus which expelled Tarquinius out of Rome Which name was also gyuen to him by the sonnes of Tarquine in derision because they tooke him to bée foolishe and dull witted Moreouer there is so much diuersitie betéewne Britannia and Brutus that it séemeth against reason that the one should procéede of the other For if Brutus had béene the giuer of the first name to this I le he woulde haue called it Brutia or Brutica rather then Britannia which hath no maner proportion or analogie with Brutus But nowe will I as I haue done in the worde Albion declare a resonable cause of coniecture why this Ile was named Britannia About .30 yeares since it happened in Wilshire at Iuy Church about twoo miles from Sarisbury as men digged to make a foundation they found an hollowe stone couered with an other stone wherein they founde a booke hauing in it little aboue .xx. leaues as they sayde of verye thicke vâ—lume wherein was something wrytten But when it was shewed to priestes and Chanons which were there they coulde not reade it Wherefore after they had tossed it from one to another by the meanes whereof it was torne they did neglect and cast it aside Long after a piece thereof happened to come to my handes which notwithstanding it was all to rent and defaced I shewed to mayster Richarde Pace then chiefe Secretarie to the kynges most royall Maiestie whereof he excéedingly reioyced But bycause it was partely rent partly defaced and blourred with wette which had fallen on it he could not find any one sentence perfite Notwithstanding after long beholding hée shewed mée it séemed that the sayde booke conteyned some auncient monument of this I le and that he perceyued thys worde Prytania to bée put for Britannia But at that tyme he sayde no more to me Afterwarde â–ª I giuing much studie and diligence to the reading of hystoryes considering whereof thys worde Britannia first came finding that all the Iles in this part of the Occean were called Britanniae after my first coniecture of Albion remembring the said writing and by chaunce finding in Suidas that Prytania in Gréeke with a circumflexed aspiration doth signifie mettalles fayres and markets also reuenues belonging to the common treasure I then conceyued this opinion that the Gréekes flourishing in wisedome prowesse and experience of sayling beyng entered into the Occean sea founde in the Iles great plentye of tynne leade yron brasse and in dyuers places golde and siluer in great quantitie they called all those yles by this generall name Prytania signifying the place by that which came out of it as one woulde say hee went to market when he goeth to Antwarpe or Barrow or to the fayre when hee goeth to Sturbridge or to hys reuenues wheÌ„ he goeth to any place from whence his reuenues doe come And yet because this yle excelled all the other in euery condition it was of some priuately called Albion that is to saye more happie or rycher Thys coniecture approcheth more nighe the true similitude than the other inuentions except there be any
