Gwendolena Queen Regent of Brittain.
LOcrinus for his unjust and unlawful Love being thus justly punished, the States and Coun∣sellors of the Kingdom elect and chuse Gwendolena the abused and injured Queen during the Nonage and Minority of her Son, to fit at the Helm and manage the Affairs of the King∣dome; this Lady was daughter to Corinaeus, who joyned his navy and came along with Brute, and he who Encountered with Gogwagog on the Hills by Dover as some write, others say neer Plimmouth in Devon-shire, which place this day is called the HAW, a hill betwixt the Town and the Sea, on whose brow is a spacious and pleasant down, yeilding a delightful prospect, in which is a Sea mark called the Compasse to direct and guide Navigators passing that way, of this conflict betwixt Corineus and Gogmagog. Thus writeth a certain Poet,
Hos avidum belli robur Corinæus Averno Precipites misit, cubitis ter quatuor altum Gogmagog Herculeo suspendit in aere luctu Antaeum{que} suum scopulo detrusit in æquor Potavit{que} dato Thetis ebria sanguine fluctus, Divisum{que} tulit mare corpus Cerberus umbram.
Gwendolena to the eternal memory and glory of her Name and Sex governed this Iland for the space of Fourteen years, and then her Son coming to maturity and fit age to undertake so great a burden, with the general applause and acclamations of all, resigned her Trust and Authority to Madan.
