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.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 But howsoeuer it chanced, the whole ship by rea|son of the powder was set on fire, & so both the Car|rike and the Regent being grappled togither, so as they could not fall off,The French nauie flieth. were both consumed by fire at that instant. The French nauie perceiuing this, fled in all hast, some to Brest, and some to the Iles ad|ioining. The Englishmen made out boats to helpe them in the Regent: but the fire was so terrible, that in maner no man durst approch; sauing that by the Iames of Hull certeine Frenchmen that could swim were saued. Capteine of this Carrike was sir Piers Morgan, and with him he had in the same nine hundred men: and with sir Thomas Kneuet and sir Iohn Carew were seuen hundred; but all drowned and burnt. The Englishmen that night laie in Berthram baie, for the French fléet was disperst (as ye haue heard.) The lord admerall after this mis|chance thus happened to these two worthie ships, made againe to the sea, and scowred all alongest the coasts of Britaine, Normandie, and Picardie, ta|king manie French ships, and burning such as they could not well bring away with them.
