for_o that_o as_o they_o say_v no_o greek_a intend_v writer_n make_v any_o mention_n of_o it_o this_o do_v i_o will_v bring_v forth_o proof_n and_o testimone_v of_o the_o antiquity_n hereof_o out_o of_o other_o writer_n and_o so_o i_o will_v show_v that_o their_o tongue_n be_v no_o slander_n who_o seek_v to_o discredit_v our_o nation_n first_o therefore_o our_o nation_n neither_o inhabit_v a_o

situate_a far_o from_o the_o sea_n in_o a_o most_o fertile_a soil_n which_o we_o till_o with_o all_o industry_n and_o our_o whole_a endeavour_n be_v how_o to_o get_v food_n for_o our_o grecian_n

at_o last_o with_o much_o ado_n the_o greek_n hear_v of_o it_o yea_o their_o most_o curious_a writer_n and_o namely_o ephorus_n be_v so_o ignorant_a of_o the_o frenchman_n &_o spaniard_n that_o they_o think_v the_o spaniard_n to_o be_v a_o people_n only_o denominate_v of_o one_o city_n wherein_o they_o inhabit_v whereas_o the_o whole_a world_n now_o know_v they_o to_o inhabit_v a_o vast_a country_n and_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o western_a world_n likewise_o the_o say_a greek_a writer_n relate_v the_o manner_n of_o the_o foresay_a people_n to_o be_v such_o as_o neither_o be_v nor_o be_v ever_o use_v among_o they_o and_o the_o only_a cause_n why_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o truth_n be_v the_o distance_n of_o the_o place_n and_o these_o writer_n will_v seem_v to_o tell_v something_o which_o other_o of_o former_a time_n have_v not_o speak_v of_o no_o marvel_n therefore_o though_o our_o nation_n be_v unknowen_a and_o none_o of_o they_o in_o their_o write_n make_v any_o
