Writinges: Mulmucy made many positiue lawes in his natiue language, and caused them to be pub∣lished, that all men might read them for their directi∣on and better aduisement.

Marcia a queene made many statutes, to teach the subiects aright and easie way of morall life. Right in respect of the crooked way, and easie in respect of the loose and carelesse way which breedeth sorrowes.

Doinges: Mulmucie fauoured all learned men of all kindes, being minded to vse euery one in his mistery. Belin fortified the late kingdome of his brother, and now his owne kingdome, with his owne souldiers, and put out all Brens men for his sake, and his owne safetie: hee allowed his fathers lawes for his time, lesse any man should obiectiuely quarrell with him. Archigall seeing by dayly experience, the dayly mise∣ries of a wicked and inconsiderate life, learned a new lesson, and led his life orderly euer after. Bren know∣ing his owne bodily beautie applied himselfe to that vaine, and got goodwill by marrying great women in forraine Landes, when he could not stay at home. Belin was more carefull of his owne land, then for outlandish goodes, and returned from Gallia to Bru∣tanie, where his greatest charge was.
