Compare 1577 edition: 1 But notwithstanding this his oth, and the great bounteous liberalitie of the mother & vncles of his wife, in bestowing on him abundance of plate & trea|sure, with rich clothes of arras; he had not béene long at home, Buchan. lib. 10. An. 1425. W. P. but that soone out of France into Scotland ouer came there Iames Steward, who (after manie of the Scotish nobilitie by diuerse occasions in France consumed) grew to be capteine of the horsse|men there. With him came the archbishop of Remes with power and commission for concluding a league betweene France and Scotland, and also of a mari|age betwéene Lewes the Dolphins sonne and Mar|garet Iameses daughter, though both verie yoong.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 But now to leaue the Scotish king amongst his countriemen in Scotland, and returne to the dooings of England. I find that the duke of Glocester, being protector and gouernour of the realme, prepared an armie of ten thousand men, and sent them ouer to his brother the regent into France; who comming into the territorie of Paris, were ioifullie of him re|ceiued. About the same time the Frenchmen got by stealth diuerse townes out of the Englishmens hands,Compiegne surrendred to the English by a policie. and amongst other the faire towne of Com|piegne was one, and the pretie towne of Crotoie an other. When the duke of Bedford was aduertised hereof, he determined not to let the matter passe in such sort, but with all conuenient spéed sent foorth a force to recouer those townes againe. And first the earle of Suffolke with the earle of Lignie, and di|uerse other capteins of the Englishmen went to be|siege Compiegne, and lodged on the one side of the riuer of So [...]me, as the lord Lisle Adham, sir Tho|mas Rampston, and the prouost of Paris laie on the other side. The Frenchmen within the towne well furnished with good souldiers, munition, and vittels, couragiouslie defended themselues.
