Furthermore, _if those_ times of _Petronius_ would not, _yet_ (saith _Anonymus_) _other ensuing seasons might permit such an office to the_ Britans, _her name for ever glorious among them_. The hainousnesse of her Rebellion, horridnesse of her cruelties, and inveterate hatred _Boadicia_ bore to the _Romans_, whereby _her name for ever infamous among them_, clearly manifest all other _ensuing seasons_, equally improper for those ancient inhabitants of this Island, to erect _Stoneheng_. If the _Britans_, once attaining the _Romane_ manner of _Architecture_, in any succeeding times had expelled the _Romans_, and been triumphant; some probable reason, at least, _Anonymus_ might have alledged, towards advancing his opinion. But _Boadicia_ and her _Complices_ overthrown, the _Roman_ Power in this Island encreasing dayly, and the liberty of the _Britans_ as fast declining, no following _season_ could be opportunely favourable, for undertaking such a work by them; the erecting whereof, yea the sole endeavouring to commemorate by such publick means, so mortall an enemy to the _Romans_ as _Boadicia_: nothing but the dearest lives of the bold attempters, could, certainly, expiate. The _Temple_ upon Mount _Cœlius_ at _Rome_, begun to _Claudius_ sacred memory by _Agrippina_, was destroyed to the very foundations by _Nero_. If then, insulting _Agrippina_ might not erect a memorable structure, to the glory of her deceased _Cæsar_; whom the _Senate_ and _People_ of _Rome_, in all solemne manner deified: What oppressed _Britan_, durst undertake the raising a publick Monument to the honour of vanquished _Boadicia_, whom the State (in all reason) for ever declared enemy to the _Roman_ Empire? And though, after a long succession of years, the _Romans_ abandoned this Island, yet, when departed, the _Britans_ were left in such deplorable condition, (at large declared before) that, albeit _her name_ never so glorious among them, they had much more to do, in saving their own miserable lives from plague, famine, and the sword, then any opportunity, or ability to erect whatever Monument to the glory of _Boadicia_. But, of this enough; the invalidity of _Anonymus_ opinion especially respected. The discovering the originall foundation of an _Antiquity_ so famous, being not to be enforced by jealous suspicions, raised upon bare and groundlesse conjectures.
