Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 In this conflict, manie Frenchmen were taken, but more were slaine, and the kéeping of the tower and bulworke was committed to William Glasdale esquier. By the taking of this bridge the passage was stopped that neither men nor vittels could go or come by that waie. After this, the earle caused certeine bul|workes to be made round about the towne, casting trenches betwéene the one and the other, laieng ordi|nance in euerie place where he saw that any batterie might be deuised. When they within saw that they were enuironed with fortresses and ordinance, they laid gun against gun, and fortified towers against bulworkes, and within cast new rampiers, and forti|fied themselues as stronglie as might be deuised.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The bastard of Orleance and the Hire were ap|pointed to see the walles and watches kept, and the bishop saw that the inhabitants within the citie were put in good order, and that vittels were not vainelie spent. In the tower that was taken at the bridge end (as before you haue heard) there was an high chamber, hauing a grate full of barres of iron, by the which a man might looke all the length of the bridge into the citie; at which gra [...]e manie of the chéefe capteins stood manie times, viewing the citie, and deuising in what place it was best to giue the as|sault. They within the citie well perceiued this too|ting hole, and laid a péece of ordinance directlie a|gainst the window.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 It so chanced, that the nine and fiftith daie after the siege was laid, the earle of Salisburie, sir Thomas Gargraue, and William Glasdale, with diuerse o|ther went into the said tower, and so into the high chamber, and looked out at the grate, and within a short space, the sonne of the maister-gunner, percei|uing men looking out at the window, tooke his match (as his father had taught him) who was gone downe to dinner, and fired the gun; the shot whereof brake, and shiuered the iron barres of the grate, so that one of the same bars strake the earle so violent|lie on the head, that it stroke awaie one of his eies,The earle of Salisburie slaine. and the side of his chéeke. Sir Thomas Gargraue was likewise striken, and died within two daies.
