 for fpeaking concerning the arguments the Britans ufed amongft 

 themfelves to perfwade the Revolt under Voadica, he fays they 

 brought this as a main one, that could they ftiew but the cou- 

 rage of their Anceftors, Recefuros (7. e. Romanos} ut Divus Julius 

 receffijfet 1 : intimating, that his fudden departure hence was little 

 better than a flight. Not to mention what Quintilian fays of one 

 M. Aper, that he met with an ancient Britan, that avowed to him, 

 that he was in the Britifi Camp when they beat C<efar from the

 help Caffivellaun or Cunobelin to this Gold or Eleclrum : Nor indeed 

 is it probable they would do it after, in the time of Claudius, when 

 they had footing here ; not only for that mony and riches are the in*- 

 centives to rebellion, and the very finews of near, but becaufe had 

 they thought it fit either then or before, we fliould certainly have
