began to be multiplied vpon the earth and from the confusion of Babels building to be scattered by Tribes and Colonies according to the diuer sitie of Languages into diuers parts and Countries of the world giuing names to the places where they seated according to the names of their Princes or chiefe Commanders Amongst whom the sonnes of Iapheth the eldest sonne of Noah whom Moses declareth to haue peopled the Isles of the Gentiles betooke themselues into Europe these westerne parts of the world as Sem did into Asia and Cham into Africa whose posterities accordingly dispersed Iosephus in his first Booke of Antiquities hath both branched into their seuerall diuisions and reduced them to their first roots and originals 3 Now that the Iles of the Gentiles mentioned by Moses were these of Europe all learned men confesse and therefore those especially of Britannie and Sicilie as Wolfangus Musculus is of opinion And that Europe fell to Iaphets portion Iosephus and Isidore doe agree who affirme his off-spring to haue inhabited from the Mount Taurus all Europe Northward so farre as the British Seas leauing names both to places and people And Gildas as Nubrigensis witnesseth and Polydore Virgil granteth will haue this Iland inhabited euen from the Flood But of these ancient things saith Sebastian Munster no man can write certainly it depending only vpon coniecturals and the same by heare-say and flying reports of priuate men as Origen speaketh 4 Gomer then the eldest sonne of Iapheth gaue name to the Gomerians who filled almost this part of the world leading as Villichius saith in the tenth yeere of Nimrod a Colonie out of Armenia into Italie which of Gomer were called Combri and afterwards Cimbri whence such as departed Italy went into the North parts and gaue name to Cimbrica Chersonesus from whence it is certaine we the English proceede and of whom also it is likely the Britaines came For so iudgeth a learned Britain himselfe who saith his countrimen the Welsh which are vnlearned as yet know no other name for their land and people but only C●…mbri 5 And that of these Gomerians were also the Gaules learned Clarenceaux that brightest lampe to all Antiquities out of Iosephus and Zonaras sufficiently hath obserued who that they were also called Cimbri he proueth out of Cicero Appian Alexandrinus that those Barbarians whom Marius defeated Cicero plainly termeth Gaules where he saith C. Marius repressed the armies of the Gaules entring in great numbers into Italy which as all Historians witnesse were the Cimbrians And the Habergeon of their king Beleus digged vp at Aquae Sextia where Marius put them to flight doth shew the same whereon was engrauen in strange characters BELEOS CIMBROS as also the testimony of Lucan doth no lesse who calleth the Ruffine hired to kill Marius a Cimbrian whom Liuy and Plutarch in the life of Marius affirme to be a Gaule They also who vnder the conduct of Brennus spoiled Delphi in Greece were Gaules as all writers with one voice agree and yet that these were named Cimbri Appian in his Illyricks doth testifie And for Brennus their Grand-Captaine our Historians report him to be a Britaine as likewise Virgil though in taunting wise termeth that Grammarian the Britaine Thucydides whom Quintilian affirmes to be a Cimbrian 6 And if of the rest of Noahs nephewes seated in seuerall countries the Nations proceeding from them are knowen by their originall names as the Turkes of Togorma whom the Iewes to this day so terme the Iones from Iauan the Modes from Madai the Thracians from Tiras and so of the rest whose names as yet sound not much vnlike to their first planters why then shall not we thinke that our Britanes or Cumerians are the very of-spring of Gomer and of Gomer tooke their denomination the name so neere according Sith granted it is that they planted themselues in the vtmost borders of Europe as Isodore hath said For the Ark resting in Armenia and the people thence flowing like waters from the spring replenished those parts first that lay next their site as Asia the lesse and Greece before Italy Italy before Gaule and Gaule before Britaine And if we consider the occasions that might be offered either for disburdening the multitudes of people for conquest desire of nouelties smalnesse of distance or commodities of the aire and soile we may easily conceiue this Iland to haue been peopled from thence For it standeth with sense that euery country receiued their first inhabitants from places neere bordering rather then from them that lay more remote for so was Cyprus peopled out of Asia Sicile and Candie out of Greece Corsica and Sardinia out of Italy Zeland out of Germany Island out of Norway and so of the rest Now that Britaine had her first inhabitants from Gaule sufficiently is proued by the name site religion manners and languages by all which the most ancient Gaules and Britaines haue beene as it were linked together in some mutuall society as is at large proued by our Arch-Antiquary in his famous worke to which I refer the studious reader 7 And although the inner parts of the Iland were inhabited as Caesar saith of such whom they themselues out of their owne records report to haue been borne in the Iland yet the sea coasts were peopled by those who vpon purpose to make war had passed thither out of Belgia and Gaule who still caried the names of those cities and states out of which they came as the Belgae the Attrebatij Parisi and the like names of people both in Gaule and in Britaine that after the warres there remained Which is the more confirmed in that both the Prouinces were gouerned by one and the same Prince as Caesar in his owne remembrance knew and nameth one Diuitiacus to hold a good part of Gaule and also of Britaine vnder his gouernment Yea and Tacitus the most curious searcher into Britaines affaires in the life of Agricola thus disciphereth them Now saith hee what manner of men the first inhabitants of Britannie were forraine brought in or borne in the land as among a barbarous people it is not certainly knowen Their complexions are different and thence may some coniectures bee taken for the red haire of the dwellers in Caledonia and mighty limmes import a German descent The coloured countenances of the Silures and haire most commonly curled and site against Spaine seeme to induce that the old Spaniards passed the Sea and possessed those places The neerest to France likewise resemble the French either because they retaine of the race from which they descended or that in Countries butting together the same aspect of the heauens doth yeeld the same complexions of bodies But generally it is most likely the French being neerest did people the Land In their ceremonies and superstitious perswasions there
