^ard none of thefevery AntientDialeds can be adjufted, 
bat by being compared with the others. The Scjotijh 
Language (which by a large Lift of words in the Bafqne 
and Irijh is here fufficiently demonftrated to be a branch 
of the Old Spanijh') he (hews to be intermixt with the 
Ancient Gwydheleg or British- Irijh j as alfo that thefe 
Gwydhelians were the moft Ancient Colonies of Galls 
here, and probably forced by the Anceftorsof the Britans 
into Scotland and Ireland 5 the Pills being by the Britilh 
Writers term’d Guydhyl Fichtied $ and Irijh words fuch

Saxons or Rimbrians from the Pains Mreotis, whence our

Authority of the Triades, ("a fmall Britifh Trad written 
according to the Judgment of that moft Learned Anti-

Years ago) that there was a very numerous Colony made
