Compare 1577 edition: 1 After this, the king hauing prepared men and ships readie to go to the sea vnder the gouernance of sir Anthonie Oughtred, sir Edward Ichingham, William Sidneie, and diuerse other gentlemen, ap|ponited them to take the sea, and to come before the Ile of Wight, there to ioine with the lord admerall, which they did, but in their passage a gallie was lost by negligence of the maister. The king hauing a de|sire to see his nauie togither,The king [...] to Por| [...]s [...]uth [...] cap| [...]s ouer [...] ships. rode to Portesmouth, and there appointed capteins for one of his chiefest ships called the Regent, sir Thomas Kneuet ma|ster [...] his horsses, & sir Iohn Carew of Deuonshire; and to the Souereigne he appointed for capteins, sir Charles Brandon, and sir Henrie Gilford; and with them in the Souereigne were put threescore of the tallest yeoman of the kings gard. Manie other gen|tlemen were ordeined capteins in other vessels. And the king made them a banket before their setting for|ward,The kings [...] setteth [...]. and so commited them to God. They were in number fiue and twentie faire ships of great bur|den, well furnished of all things necessarie.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The French king in this meane while had prepa|red a nauie of thirtie nine saile in the hauen of Brest; and for chiefe he ordeined a great Carrike of Brest, apperteining to the quéene his wife, called Cordelier a verie strong ship,The English [...] incoun| [...]reth with the French [...] the coast [...] Britaine. and verie well appointed. This nauie set forward out of Brest the tenth of August, and came to Britaine baie, in the which the same day was the English fléet ariued. When the Englishmen perceiued the Frenchmen to be issued foorth of the hauen of Brest, they prepared themselues to battell, and made foorth towards their enimie, which came fiercelie forward; and comming in sight ech of other, they shot off their ordinance so terrible togither, that all the sea coast sounded of it. The lord admerall made with the great ship of Déepe, and chased hir; sir Henrie Gilford and also sir Charles Brandon made with the great Carrike of Brest, being in the Souereigne, and laid stem to stem to the Carrike; but by negligence of the master, or else by smoke of the ordinance, or otherwise, the Souereigne was cast at the sterne of the Carrike, with which aduan|tage the Frenchmen shouted for ioy.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 But when sir Thomas Kneuet, who was readie to haue boorded the great ship of Déepe, saw that the Souereigne missed the Carrike, suddenlie he cau|sed the Regent (in the which he was aboord) to make to the Carrike, and to grapple with hir a long boord And when they of the Carrike perceiued they could not depart, they let slip an anchor, and so with the streame the ships turned, and the Carrike was on the weather side, and the Regent on the lie side.A cruell fight betwixt the two nauies. The fight was cruell betwixt these two ships, the archers on the English side, & the crossebowes on the French part dooing their vttermost to annoie each other:The English Regent, and the French Carrik burnt togither. but finallie the Englishmen entered the Carrike, which being perceiued by a gunner, he desperatlie set fire in the gunpowder, as some say; though there were that affirmed, how sir Anthonie Oughtred folowing the Regent at the sterne, bowged hir in diuerse pla|ces, and set hir powder on fire.
