CHAPTER XIX.
The autour weill declaris heire
Throuch quham seire datis wes in weire.
Throuch quham seire datis wes in weire.
Now haue ye herd vpon quhat wiss
I haue contenit þis tretiss,
Fra first formyt wes Adam
Till þis tyme now of Habrahame,
And baith þe eildis has tane end,
As in auld storyis is weill kend,
Contynewand haill thre thousand ȝere
Nyne score and foure oure passit heire;
The quhilkis, as Orosyus
In till his corniklis tellis ws,
Nere forȝet wes reklesly,
Or þan mysknawin all vterly
With þaim þat set all þar delite
Befor þaim storyis for to write.
[Fra] Habrahame and Nynus king
All storyis takis þar begynnyng,
As Pompeyus and Iustyne,
Orosyus tellis and Frere Martyne.
Now þarfor in to certane terme
This tretiss furth I will afferme,
Haldand tyme be tyme þe dait
As Orosyus sumtyme wrait;
And of þai storyis þan will I
Compile þat me think mast likly
Vnto þe tyme þat efter fell
Quhen Iugis iugit Israell,
Till oure mater accordand,
And till your hering mast plesand.
Bot with Orosyus we sall discord
In till our dait quhen we record
Befor or fra þe byrgh of God,
Reknand ȝeris evin or od;
Befor or fra þan reknys he
That of Rome maid wes þe cete.
