THE SECOND OBSERVATION.
THeir manner of fight with chariots, is very particularly described by Caesar, and needeth not to bee stood vpon any longer: onely I ob∣serue, that neither in Gallia, nor any other country of Europe, the vse of chariots is neuer mentioned: but they haue euer beene attri∣buted, as a peculiar fight, vnto the easterne countries, as sutable to the plaine and leuell situation of the place, whereof we finde often mention in the scrip∣ture: which may serue for an argument to Geffrey of Monmouth, to proue the Britaines descent from Troie in Asia, where we likewise finde mention of such chariots.
