THe Learned Author of this Difcourfe doth therein inquire into 
the Origine both of the Antient BritMns^ and of the AngU or Eng* 
lifh having firft defcribed the Scituation, Latitude, Form, Fertility, 
and Temper of the Inhabitants of this Ijland. In his Inquiry be finds 
nothing that may be more certain in fo great obfcurity, than that the 
Old Bmamsv/zrQ defcended from the Trojans , by Brnttu ^ the Off- 
fjpringof tineas and that the Angli are the Race of th^ Gothick^ Na- 
tion ( which he maketh the OfF-fpring not of fa^het, but of Sem ;) 
Further, that the Get<t or Goths did pafs through Scythla into Scandia ditA 
Sarmatla, and from Scandia into the Ides of the Bakuk^St^ and Ger^ 
many • but that under that great Captain Filemer they made an Excur- 
fion again into Afia^ and having there ejefted out of their Seats 
the M^gog<zan Scythians and the Cimmerians , fetled themfelvcs and their 
Empire in AJia-^ whence the Saxons^ Getes and Angles^ ( the Fore- 
Fathers of the Englifli ) were brought back again into Germany^ to the 
Antient Seat of the Getes , under the Condud of that Famous i^odcn 
f the Progenitor of the chief Kings of Eurofe) about the year 2910. 
All which, and much more our Author renders very probable , and in 
doing fo , gives proof of much Learning andlnduftry.
