It is said that these cries include outcries which are full of despair and excessive wailings. These are seen to greatly support the Scythian barbarism. These cries, Irenius said, are used by Mr. Stanihurst in proving that the Irish people are Egyptians. The basis for Mr. Stanihurst's argument is the passage in the Scriptures which mentions that the Egyptians lamented for the death of Joseph in the same manner. While Mr. Stanihurst used the different sorts of cries as an argument in asserting that the Irish are Egyptians, Irenius said that others think this custom of crying originated from the Spaniards. Spaniards are said to immeasurably weep for their dead as well.

However, Irenius pointed out that the manner in which the Spaniards cry didn't originate from the Spaniards. Instead, this manner of crying originated either by the Scythians or the Moores, which were Africans. Irenius noted that it is the same manner all Pagans weep for their dead. It is the way they weep for their dead because, according to Irenius, they have neither faith nor hope of salvation.

To further prove that the Irish are a different race, Irenius pointed out that the Irish are also different in the way they deal with other people, particularly with the manner with which they deal with the English. Irenius noted that the Irish are willfully bent. Irenius further said that the Irish are cautious and clever though they may be men of little experience and practice in matters or law.

Eudoxus agreed with Irenius in the sense that he also believed...

Eudoxus pointed out that the Irish do not care much about what they swear. He accused the Irish of not having much faith in god or of their own souls.
Eudoxus also asked Irenius whether the Irish weren't from the Spanish race. To this Irenius answered that if the Spanish made a colony out of Ireland, they would be sure to chronicle it. Irenius did not believe that the Spaniards would omit such a memorable event as conquering the Irish.

Irenius believed that it was the Scythians who came to inhabit Ireland. He believed that they came down to the Sea cost where they got the information about Ireland. Irenius assumed that after the Scythians found the shipping convenient, traveled to Ireland. It is assumed that they arrived in the North areas of Ireland which, according to Irenius, is called Ulster. This is where the Scythians first inhabited.

Subsequently, when their population grew, they spread themselves and stretched into Ilande. This, Irenius said, was later named Scuttenland or Scotland, a name after themselves. Irenius believed that Ireland and Scotland are the one and the same.

Through their discourse, Irenius and Eudoxius proved that the Irish are of a different race. Their rationale was based on their observations on and their assumptions regarding the customs of the Irish.
