it from Corineus, cousin to Brute, the first Conqueror of this Iland:
who wrastling at Plymmouth (as they say) with a mightie Giant, called
Gogmagog, threw him ouer Cliffe, brake his necke, and receiued the
gift of that Countrie, in reward for his prowesse: Some, as Cerealis,
(no lesse mistaken perhaps in that, then in his measures) from Cornu
Galliae, a home or corner of Fraunce, whereagainst nature hath placed
it: and some, from Cornu Walliae, which (in my conjecture) carrieth
greatest likelyhood of truth.

For what time the Saxons, after many bloudie inuasions [Anno Dom. 586.]
as Pirates, began at last to plant their dwellings [2a] and take roote
in this Iland, as Conquerors, the Britons, by them supplanted, were
driuen to seeke their safegard in the waste Moores, craggie Mountaines,
and wild Forrests of Wales and Cornwall, where the Countries
barrennesse barred their pursuers from victuals, and the
dangerousnesse of the passages laid them open to priuie inuasions.
Such as had in this sort withdrawne themselves, the Saxons termed
Welshmen, by interpretation strangers, for so they were to them, as
they to the Countrie: and their place of abode they called Welshland,
sithence turned to Wales, euen as by the same reason, they giue still
the same name to Italy. Now, Cornwall being cast out into the Sea,
with the shape of a horne, borrowed the one part of her name from her
fashion, as Matthew of Westminster testifieth, and the other from her
Inhabitants; both which conjoyned, make Cornwalliae, and contriued,
Cornwall: in which sence, the Cornish people call it Kernow, deriued
likewise from Kerne a home. Neither needeth this composition to be
accompted any way vncouth, seeing the same is made familiar vnto vs by
the like in other Countries, as of Herbipolis in Germanie, Lombardie
in Italy, Paleocastrum in Crete, and Neoportus in Carniola: all which,
with many other, are likewise compacted of double languages.
