Compare 1577 edition: 1 The lord de la Uall amongst other, came to him (as we find in Thomas Walsingham) offering him his seruice as well as the residue. At his landing, he was likelie to haue lost all such furniture, as well of vit|tels, apparell, hangings, bedding, armour, and other things, which either he or his traine had brought with them. For the French gallies espieng their time, im|mediatlie as he and his companie were set on land, before the ships in which the said furniture was fraught, could enter the hauen, which was somewhat streight and narrow, came vpon them, and had them at such aduantage,Sir Hugh Caluerlie. that if sir Hugh Caluerlie with his archers had not caused the master of his ship, e|uen against his will to returne againe to the rescue, the gallies had taken and gone awaie with the other ships; but through the manfull prowes of sir Hugh, the gallies were repelled, & the ships saued: for accor|ding to his woonted valiancie he would not returne, till he saw all other in safetie, & then defending him|selfe so well as he might, withdrew into the hauen, and landed safelie with the residue.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 About the same time was an hainous murther committed in London, of a merchant Genowes,An hainous murther of [...] merchant stranger. whom certeine English merchants vpon spite and enuie, which they bare towards him, caused to be slaine one euening in the stréet before his own gates. The cause that mooued the merchants so to procure his death was, for that he vndertooke to furnish this land, hauing the staple allowed him at Southhamp|ton, of all such wares as came foorth of Leuant, so plentifullie as was to be had in any place in all the west parts of christendome.Great [...] in the north countrie.

The number of cattell was infinite which they droue out of the land with them, not sparing heards of swine which they tooke at this time, where they ne|uer medled with that kind of cattell before that pre|sent.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Before the Scots made this iournie into Eng|land, whilest the mortalitie was most in force, they calling to certeine of the English borderers, asked of them how it came to [...], that so great a death reigned amongst them. The Englishmen, as good, plaine, and simple meaning men, told them, that trulie they knew not the cause, for Gods iudgements were hid from them in such behalfe. But one thing they knew, that all calamitie, death, and aduersitie that chanced vnto them, came by the speciall grace of God, to the end that being punished for their sinnes, they might learne to repent and amend their wicked liues. The Scots hearing this, when they should en|ter this land, vnderstanding lewdlie what the Eng|lishmen had told them concerning the disease, and the grace of God, deuised a blessing forsooth to be said euerie morning, of the most ancient person in eue|rie familie, as; Benedicite, said he: Dominus, said the residue. Then began he againe, saieng; God and saint Mango, saint Romane and saint Andro, shield vs this daie fra Gods grace, and the fewle death that Englishmen dien vpon. Thus the senselesse men misconstruing this word the grace of God, praied for their owne destruction, which if not in this world, yet for their brutish crueltie vsed at that present, against the miserable creatures, whom the hand of God had spared in time of that gréeuous mortalitie, it is to be feared, least in another world it came to them, as the verie words of their praiers imported.
