Default Einstein Derived the Lorentz Equations from ... the Lorentz Equations

In 1905 Einstein derived the Lorentz equations from the constancy of the speed of light, but where did Einstein take the constancy from? He "borrowed" it from the Lorentz equations - it is as simple as that:

Albert Einstein: "...I introduced the principle of the constancy of the velocity of light, which I borrowed from H. A. Lorentz's theory of the stationary luminiferous ether..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_ether_theory
