Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 The Englishmen sore discontented with their idle lieng still in the field, misliked with his excuses, sup|posing the same (as they prooued in déed) to be no|thing but delaies. In the meane time that the Englishmen thus lingered without attempting any exploit, their vittels were much part garlike, & they eating thereof with all their meats, and drinking hot wines, & féeding also on hot fruits, procured their bloud to boile within their bellies,

Great death of the flix by vnwoonted diet.

The lord marquesse sendeth to the K. of Spaine to performe promise.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 In the meane time there began a mutinie in the English campe thorough a false report, contriued by some malicious person; which was, that the cap|teins should be allowed eight pense for euerie com|mon souldier; where the truth was, that they had allowed to them but onelie six pense. The lord ge|nerall aduertised that the souldiers began to gather in companies, found meanes to apprehend the cheefe beginner, and deliuered him vnto William King|ston esquier, then prouost marshall; and so was he put to death to the terrour of all other. Whilest the Englishmen laie thus in campe on the borders of Biskaie towards Guien, the archers went often|times a forraging into the French confines almost to Baion, and burnt manie pretie villages.The king of Spaines ar|mie vnder the conduct of the duke of Alua. The king of Spaine raised an armie, and sent foorth the same vnder the leading of the duke of Alua, which came forward as though he meant to haue come to the Englishmen; who being aduertised of his approch, were maruellouslie glad thereof, in hope that then they should be imploied about the enterprise for the which they were come.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 But the duke intending an other thing, when he was aduanced foorth within a daies iournie of them, suddenlie remooued his armie toward the realme of Nauarre, and entering the same, chased out of his realme the king of that land, and conquered the same to the king of Spains vse, as in the historie of Spaine more plainelie it dooth appeare. After that the king of Spaine was thus possessed of the king|dome of Nauarre, he sent vnto the lord marquesse,The kingdom of Nauarre gotten to the K. of Spaine. promising to ioine with him shortlie, and so to in|uade the borders of France; but he came not. Wherefore the Englishmen thought themselues not well vsed: for it gréeued them much, that they should lie so longidle, sith there was so great hope conceiued at their setting foorth, that there should be some great exploit atchiued by them, thorough the aid that was promised by the king of Spaine.
