Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 This doone, the king marching foorth with his ar|mie, came to Temple Histon, and sent foorth the bi|shop of Durham to take certeine castels therabouts,Castels woon by the bishop of Durham. as Orinton or (as some copies haue) Drilton, and o|ther two, which enterprise the bishop spéedilie accom|plished. The English fléet that should haue come from Berwike, and kept alongst the coast to haue furnished the armie with victuals, was staied and holden backe with contrarie winds, so that the armie began to be in great necessitie of victuals. The Sco|tishmen were aduertised hereof, and supposing that the Englishmen by reason of such want of victuals, had not béene able through féeblenesse to make anie great resistance, assembled their powers togither, and came towards the place where the king with his armie was lodged.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 At the same time two of the English ships arri|ued there with victuals, the which being bestowed a|mongst the souldiors, releeued them greatlie of their hunger. Amongest other the Welshmen had two tunnes of wine deliuered to them for their share, the which they tasted so gréedilie, Abington. A fraie be|twixt the Welsh and Englishmen. that ouercome there|with they fell to quarrelling with the Englishmen, and begun a fraie, in the which they slue eightéene, and hurt diuerse. The English horssemen herewith being kindled with displeasure, got them to armor, and setting vpon the Welshmen, slue of them to the number of fourescore, and put the other to flight: wherevpon the next morning it was said that the Welshmen vpon wrath conceiued hereof meant to depart to the Scots:The English|men stand in doubt of the Welshmen. but yet when the campe remoo|ued, they followed the armie though a farre off, and a|part by themselues, insomuch that manie doubted least if the Englishmen had chanced to haue had the worsse at the Scotishmens hands, they would haue ioined with them against the Englishmen. This bloo|die broile sprang of intemperancie, and surfetting drunkennesse, which is worthie to be thus disclaimed,
