But at the laste, beinge eleuate in pryde, and sufferynge hym selfe to be honored and won­dred at as god, syttynge in a hyghe trone in the citie of Cacsaria, apparailed in glystring golde, sodeynlye he was stryken with an an­gel in the presence of an infynite number of people, wherwith his body swelled, and wor­mes issued out therof with intollerable pey­nes, and horrible stenche. In the whiche tor­mentes he loked on his flatterynge counsay­lours and seruantes, and sayde: Lo I whom ye called a god, am nowe in the peynes of deathe. And in this wyse he dyed, whan he was of the age of .lvii. yeres. A very notable and perpetuall myrrour to all them, whiche flowe in prosperitie, forgettynge them selfes to be mortall, reioysynge in the commendati­on of flatterers.

Agrippae, they which be borne with theyr fete forwarde.

Agrippina, the mother of Nero the emperour, whoo was daughter of the noble Germani­cus, and suster to Caius Caligula, emperour after Tiberius, was fyrste maryed to a no­ble man called Gneus Domitius, by whom she had Nero, who after was emperor. After the deth of Domitius, her brother Caligula abused her as his cōcubine: & after his deth, Claudius beinge emperour, whan he hadde caused his wyfe Messalina to be slayne, for her moste abhominable avoutrics, he toke this Agrippina to wyfe, for her excellente beaultie, who afterwarde by her crafty and shrewde wytte caused her husbande Claudi­us to mary his daughter called Octauia, to [Page] her son Nero, and also to make hym compa­niō in the succession of the Empire with his son called Britannicus. And lest Britannicus in the lyfe of his father shoulde growe to the state of a man, and be able to receyue the em­pyre incontinent [...]er his decesse, and expell her sonne Nero: He fyrste poysoned her hus­bande Claudius, and afterwarde his sonne Britannicus: But her falsehoode, abhomy­nation, and crueltie was not left vnpunished. for soone after, her owne sonne Nero, not­withstandynge that he ioyned her with hym in equall autoritie, and as some men suppo­sed, abused her carnally, hauyng her in most mortal hate, caused her to be put into a barge vpon the ryuer of Tyber vnder the colour of solace, ouer the whiche barge was hanged great poyses, whiche sodeynlye shoulde haue ben letten fall to haue kylled her: and also in the barge were certayne holes closed for the tyme, whiche beinge open, the vessell shulde haue sunken. But fortune at that tyme other wyse prouyded for her, for the poyses fel not on her, but on other and slewe them, and the barge beinge sunke, she swam to lande, and for that tyme escaped. wherof Nero heryng, sent a capitayne with an hundred men to slee her, who entrynge in to the house, where she was reposynge her selfe, withoute any war­nynge strake her on the head, but she holding forth her bealy, cryed, stryke here, strike here the place, whiche bare the monster of the worlde. By this story it maye appere, that of an yll mother cam an vngratious sonne, and that the ende of falsehoode and crueltie, was vengeance agaynst nature and al humanitie.

Agrippina, mother of the said Agrippina, was doughter of M. Agrippa, and wyfe to Ger­manicus, whom Tiberius by the command­ment of Octauiā had declared to be his heire apparant to the Empire, and not withstan­dynge was afterwarde poysoned by consent of Tiberius: for whose deathe the sayde A­grippina toke suche heuinesse, that she deter­myned to dye. wherfore she absteyned frome all meates and drynkes, and notwithstan­dynge that the Emperour Tiberius caused meate to be put in to her throte, she wold not receyue it, but in that voluntary abstynence fynally dyed.

Albinus, the name of an emperour.

Albion, was the moste aunciente name of this yle, which conteyneth Englande and Scot­lande: of the beginninge of the whiche name haue benne sundrye opynions. One late fay­ned by hym whiche fyrste prynted the En­glysh chronicle, wherin is neyther similitude of trouth, reason, nor honestie: I meane the fable of the fyfty daughters of one Diocleci an kynge of Siria, where neuer any other historie made mencion of a kynge of Siria beinge so named. and also that name is greke and no part of the language of Siria. More ouer the commynge of them from Siria in a shyp or bote without any marinours thrugh the sea called Mediterraneum, into the occe­an, and so fynally to fynde this yle, and to inhabite it, and haue generation by deuelles, is bothe impossible, and moche reproche for this noble royalme to ascrybe her fyste name and habitation, to such inuentours. An other opinion there is, whiche hath a more hone ste similitude, which is, that it was named Al­bion, ab albis rupibus, of whyte rockes, by­cause that vnto theym, whiche doo comme by sea frome the easte or southe, the bankes and rockes of this yle doo appere whyte. of this opinion haue I moste meruaile, bycause it is wrytten of great lerned men. fyrst for as moche as Albion is no latten word, nor hath the analogye, that is to saye, the proportion or simslitude of latine. For who hath founde this syllable, on, at the ende of a latine worde. And if it shulde haue ben so called for the whyte co­lour of the rockes, men wolde haue called it, Alba, or Albus, or Album. And yet in Italye were townes called Alba, and in Asia a coun­trey called Albania, and neither the one nor the other toke theyr begynnynge of whyte rockes or walles, as ye maye rede in the bokes of Ge­ography. nor the water of the ryuer called Al­bis, semeth noo whyter than any other water. But where aunciente remembraunce of the be­gynnyng of thynges lacketh, if it may be lefull to men to vse theyr coniectures, my coniecture may be aswel accepted, as the coniecture of Plinie, althoughe he incomparably excelled me in wisedome and doctrine, specially if it may ap­pere that my coniecture shall approche more nere to the symilitude of trouth. Wherfore I wyll also set forthe myne opinion, onely to the intente to exclude fables, lackynge eyther honestie or reasonable similitudes. Whan the Gre­kes began fyrste to prospere, and that theyr cy­ties became populouse and waxed puissaunte, they whiche marcned on the sees, and also the yles whiche were in the sees, called Hellespontus, Aegeum, and Creticum, after that they coulde practise perfytely the course of saylinge, and had founden therby profyte, they lyttel and lyttell attempted to serche and fynde oute the commodities of outwarde countreys, and lyke as Spanyardes and Portyngales haue late done, they experienced to seeke out countreyes before vnknowen, and at the laste passed the Straytes of Marocke, & entred into the great occean sea, where the wynd so fauouring them they founde dyuerse and many yles. Among the whiche they perceyuynge this yle to be not on­ly the greattest in circuite, but also moste plen­tuouse of euerye thynge necessarye to man: the ayre most holsome and temperate, the erthe apt to brynge forthe all thynge that may susteyne a temperate ayre, the fleshe of veoffes and mut­tons, moste swete and delycate, the wull moste fyne, not lackyng any kynde of mettal, hauing aboundaunce of wodde and tymber to buylde with: also great and fayre ryuers, with great lakes or mecres of freshe water, and as well in them, as in the sea, wherwith the countreye is enuironed, was great plenty of fishes of diuers sortes, most apt to be eaten. they wonderyng [...] reioysyng, at theyr good & fortunate ariuayle, named this yle in greke Olbion, [...] whiche in en­glysh signifieth Happy, in latin Foelix, lyke as­part of Arabia whiche is most fertile, is called Arabia felix. But in processe of time, by the re­sort of sundry peple, hauyng dyuerse langages. no meruaile if one letter were changed, and the [Page] fyrste letter O, tourned in to A, and soo for Olbion it was at the last called Albion, whiche word hath no mauer of signification. the whiche chaungynge of letters is not vnlyke­ly, sens at this present time the Northern mē of this realm do vse A, in wordes where sou­thern mē do vse O, as a bane, a stane, a bare, a bande, for a bone, a stone, a bore, a bonde. And amonge the grekes were lyke alterati­ons of letters. And it maye be more easely su­steyned, that one vowell may be chaunged in a worde, and specially A, into O, whiche in some mannes mouthe, souneth often tymes lyke, than a syllable impertinente to the pro­portion of latine, shulde be vnaptly added to. Not withstandynge Pomponius Mela ma­keth mention of a gyant called Albion, whō Hercules slewe in Gallia, whiche was sonne of Neptunus. who moughte with more rea­son be named the fyrste gyuer of his name to this yle, than that the other surmyses shulde be likely. If any man can fynde matter more certayne, of the originall begynnynge of this yle, I wyll not be offended but congratulate with him his good fortune and diligence.

Saynct Augustine saythe of hym: It is not requisite to aunswere Aristippum, who in euery part lyued so, as betwene hym and a beaste was no diuersitie.

This man began a secte, the fo­lowers wherof were called Peripatetici, and taught after the deathe of Plato .xxiii. yeres He was banyshed out of Athenes, bycause it was supposed, that he demid not wel of their goddes. It is written, that he dyed by this occasion: As he wente by the sea syde, he per­ceyued fysher menne syttynge and doinge of somwhat. And whan he asked what they did they tolde hym a ryddell, whiche whan by longe stydye he coulde not assoyle, for shame and sorowe he dyed.
