THese two Parts of the Historie, may seeme not improperly to beare the name of Great Britannie, in that (for the most part) they containe certaine generall reports of the affaires of the whole Iland, which was afterwards divided into the two Kingdomes of England and Scotland: Howbeit in the Second Part, the acci∣dents and occurrents in the state of Scotland, (then called North-Britannie) are either purposely omitted, or touched very briefely, both to avoide confusion, by entermingling them with the imperfect relations of the dismembred governments of the Saxons and En∣glish, in the South parts of the Ile: and also (for that England and Scotland, having bin (many hundred yeares) two distinct Monar∣chies, and that of Scotland the more antient) it may be thought, perhaps, most meete, that there should be severall Histories of the English and Scottish Nation, from the first erection of either King∣dome, vntill the vnion of them both: (the title of Britannie in the meane time remaining indifferent, as well to the one, as to the other.)
