Compare 1577 edition: 1 Herevpon insued a sore conflict, and manie an har|die man was beaten to the ground. And although it séemed that the Englishmen were ouermatched in number, yet they stucke to it manfullie. Their cap|teine sir Iohn Harleston, fighting in the foremost presse, was felled, and laie on the ground at his eni|mies féet in great hazard of death. The Englishmen neuerthelesse continued their fight, till at length sir Geffrie Worslie, with a wing of armed footmen with axes, came to the rescue (for to that end he was left behind, of purpose to come to their aid if néed re|quired) with whose comming the Frenchmen were so hardlie handled, that to conclude, they were bro|ken insunder, beaten downe and wholie vanquished: there were of them slaine aboue six score, and as ma|nie taken prisoners, among which number was their chéefe capteine sir William de Bourdes taken, and brought to Chierburg with the residue, and there put in safe keeping. This exploit was atchiued by the En|glishmen, on saint Martins day in winter, in this third yeare of king Richard his reigne.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 But least any ioy should come to the English peo|ple in that season, without some mixture of gréefe, one sir I. Clearke a right valiant knight,Sir Iohn Clearke a valiant cap|teine. & fellow in armes with sir Hugh Caluerlie, chanced this yeare to lie in garrison in a castell in Britaine, where was an hauen, & diuerse English ships lieng in the same, whereof the French gallies being aduertised, came thither, to set those ships on fire, appointing one of their gallies first to attempt the feat, and if fortune so would, to traine the Englishmen foorth, till they should fall into the laps of foure other gallies which they laid as it had béene in ambush.A policie. Now as the eni|mies wished so it came to passe, for the Englishmen perceiuing their vessels in danger to be burnt of the enimies, ran euerie man aboord to saue the ships and goods within them; and amongst the rest, sir Iohn Clearke their capteine, meaning to take such part as his men did, got aboord also, and streight falling in pursute of the gallie that withdrew for the purpose a|foresaid, the Englishmen were shortlie inclosed with the other gallies before they were aware, not know|ing what shift to make to auoid the present danger.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Sir Iohn Clearke, perceiuing how the case stood, laid about him like a giant, causing his companie still to draw backe againe, whilest he resisting the e|nimies, did shew such proofe of his valiancie, that they were m [...]h astonished therewith. To be short, he so manfullie behaued himselfe, that the most part of his companie had time to recouer land; but when he that had [...]hus preserued others shuld leape forth of the ship to saue himselfe, he was striken in the thigh with an ax, that downe he fell, and so came into the enimies hands, being not able to recouer that hurt, for his thigh was almost quite cut off from the bodie, so that he died of that and other hurts presentlie, leauing a remembrance behind him of manie worthie acts through his valiancie atchiued, to his high praise and great commendation. The barke of Yorke was also lost the same time, being a proper vessell, and now ta|ken suddenlie, sanke with all that were aboord in hir, both Englishmen, and the enimies also that were en|tered into hir, thinking to carrie hir awaie.
