Initum namque est consilium quid agendum, ubi quaerendum esset praesidium ad evitandas vel repellendas tam feras tamque creberrimas gentium aquilonalium inruptiones: placuitque omnibus cum suo rege Vurtigerno ut Saxonum gentem de transmarinis partibus in auxilium vocarent: quod Domini nutu dispositum esse constat, ut veniret contra inprobos malum, sicut evidentius rerum exitus probavit.
For they devised with themselves what was best to do, and where they might seek rescue to escape or beat off the cruel and continual assaults of the northern nations; and they agreed all with their king Vurtigern to call to their aid the nation of the Saxons beyond the seas: which thing doubtless was done by Gods appointment, that the wicked people might be thereby plagued, as by the end it hath right manifestly been shewn.
