Compare 1577 edition: 1 It was moreouer decreed, that at a certeine daie after Easter, there should be an inquisition taken by the inquest of a substantiall iurie, for the seuering of forrests,Forrests. the new from the old, so as all those grounds which had beene made forrests, since the daies of king Henrie the grandfather of this Henrie the third, should be disforrested. And therevpon after Easter, Hugh de Neuill, and Brian de Lisle, were sent foorth as commissioners, to take that inquisition. By force whereof, manie woods were asserted and im|prooued to arable land by the owners, and so not one|lie men, but also dogs, which for safegard of the game were accustomed to lose their clawes, had good cause to reioise for these confirmed liberties.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 In the meane time, and about the feast of the pu|rification, king Henrie (hauing iust occasion to pur|sue the warre, for recouerie of those townes taken, as before you haue heard by the Frenchmen) sent o|uer his brother Richard, whom he had made earle of Cornewall and Poictow, with a mightie nauie of ships vnto Gascoigne. Matth. Paris. Polydor. This earle, hauing in his com|panie the earle of Salisburie, Philip de Albenie, and others, with prosperous wind and weather arriued at Burdeaux with foure hundred sailes,Thrée hun|dred sa [...]th Gaguin. and there landing his men, went straight vnto the towne of saint Machaire, situated vpon the banke of Garon, where, vpon his first comming, he gat the castell, and sacked the towne, and then passing further,Towns woon by the Eng|lishmen. wan di|uerse other townes, as Longuile, Bergerat, and o|ther, and after went with great diligence to besiege and recouer Rochell, or rather Rioll. The French king aduertised of the earls arriuall, and of these his atchiued enterprises,The earle of Marsh, saith Matth. Paris. sent foorth by and by the earle of Champaigne with a mightie armie into Guien to aid his people there.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The earle of Cornewall vnderstanding of the com|ming of that French armie, tooke a part of his host, and therewithall went to méet his enimies, and lieng in ambush for them by the way, had them at a good aduantage, and slue great numbers of them.The French|men taken at aduantage. After this, the earle of Champaigne keeping his men with|in their trenches and campe, without attempting a|nie other exploit, the earle of Cornewall thought it sufficient, if he might keepe the Gascoignes in obedi|ence, which had alreadie practised a rebellion, by send|ing letters and messengers for the same intent vnto the French king,The earle of Cornewall raiseth his siege from the Rioll. and therefore breaking vp his siege before the Rioll, he staied a while from exploiting any further enterprise. About the same time, the earle of Salisburie returning homwards out of Gascoigne, was so tossed and turmoiled on the seas by tempests of weather, that he fell sicke therof,The death of the earle of Salisburie. Matth. Paris. and within a few daies after his arriuall died.
