- Peace,
- These honourable Rulers approoued their Princely magnificence, and Philoti∣my in a braue maner. Brute the first named this Iland Brutanie of his owne Noble and famous Name: He built a fortunate Cittie by the Tems, and called it Troy-new in perpetuall honour of his owne Coun∣trey. Ebranke built a faire Cittie in hys land Northward, which he called Caer∣branke after his owne name: He built ano∣ther Cittie with a Castle in Albany, and called it Edenbrough, in regard of his daugh¦ters. Leyl built a Citie in this land North∣ward, which he called Caerleyl by his own name. Leyr built a Citie in the midst of his land, and called it Caerleyr in respect of his owne name. Thus they purchased their Glorie with heroicall expences, and pub∣licke actions profitably.
- Then the vertuous subiectes shewed their excellent magnanimitie in good sorte: They suffered not Madian to rule ouer them, till hee was able to carry armour in the Field, and lead an armie. Duke Corin went to king Locrin with his ordinary bat∣tle Axe in his hand, and behaued himselfe so manly, and plainly with the king, that he would not or durst not reiect Guendolin his spouse, as he before had purposed. Good warly rhetoricke.

- Those Dukes Maglan and Hennine suffred not their wiues king Leyrs two eldest daugh∣ters to be kept frō the Crowne by Cordeil the youngest daugh∣ter. Locrin fought with Hum∣ber and flewe him in battle, be∣cause he had slaine his younger brother Albanact the Prince and ruler of Albany.
- Conedag and Morgan the sons of those two Dukes deposed euen Cordeil their aunt from hir vsurpation and royall gouern∣ment.
- Conedag defended his land against Morgan, and put him to flight, and slewe him, and ioyned Morgans kingdome to his owne. Guendolin the queene gathered an army against her husband Locrin the king, and in their conflict he was slaine with an arrow.
- abroad.
- Ebranke got great victories, and rich spoiles both in strange countries far off, & neere hand, & then returned home with his mony and men in safety & ioy: it is no lesse courage, to get out of troble, then to go through it.
- at home
This was their Fortitude, in doing for their friends, and vndoing their foes.
