Compare 1577 edition: 1 Thus whilest the armie lingered without re|moouing,A fraie be|twéene the Englishmen & the townes|men of Sancta Maria. there chanced an affraie to rise betwixt the Englishmen and the townes-men of Sancta Maria, a village so called, wherevnto such Eng|lishmen as fell sicke, had their resort; and therevp|on the alarms brought into the campe, the Eng|lishmen and Almans ran in great furie to the suc|cour of their fellowes: and notwithstanding all that the capteins could doo to staie them, they slue and robbed the people without mercie. The Bis|kaines that could get awaie, fled ouer that water into Guien. The capteins yet so ordered the mat|ter, that all the pillage was restored, and one and twentie souldiers were condemned, which were apprehended as they were fléeing awaie with a boo|tie of ten thousand duckats into Gascoigne; seauen of them were executed, and the residue pardoned of life, at the sute of certeine lords of Spaine, which were as then present.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The Frenchmen hearing of this riot came foorth EEBO page image 814 of Baion, to see and vnderstand the maner thereof: but perceiuing that the Englishmen had descried them,S. I [...]hans burnt by the English. suddenlie they returned. The Englishmen fol|lowed, & comming to the towne of S. Iehan de Lu|cie, they burnt and robbed it, & slue the inhabitants. Diuerse other villages they spoiled on the borders of Guien; but bicause they wanted both horsses of seruice, and horsses to draw foorth their ordinance, they could not doo anie such damage as they might and would haue doone, if they had béene furnished ac|cording to their desires in that point. Thus continu|ed the English armie in such wearisome sort till the moneth of October, and then fell the lord marquesse sicke, and the lord Howard had the chéefe gouernance of the armie.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Then were sent from the king of Spaine diuerse lords of his priuie councell vnto the said lord Ho|ward, to excuse the matter for that he came not ac|cording to his promise, requiring them, that sith the time of the yeare to make warre was past, it might please them to breake vp their campe, and to diuide themselues abroad into the townes and villages of his realme till the spring time of the yeare, that they might then go forward with their first pretended en|terprise. The lord Howard shewed well in words that the Englishmen could not thinke well of the king of Spaines fained excuses, and vnprofitable de [...]aies, to his small honor & their great hinderance & losse, hauing spent the king their maister so much treasure, and doone so little hurt to his aduersaries. The Spaniards gaue faire words; and so in courte|ous maner departed.
