Compare 1577 edition: 1 The lord admerall by the counsell of a Spanish knight called sir Alfonse Charant, affirming that he might enter the baie with little ieopardie, called to him William Fitz Williams, William Cooke, Iohn Colleie, and sir Wolstan Browne, as his chéefe and most trustie fréends, making them priuie to his intent; which was to take on him the whole en|terprise, with their assistance. And so on S. Markes daie, which is the fiue and twentith of Aprill, the said admerall put himselfe in a small row barge, appoin|ting thrée other small rowing ships, and his owne ship bote to attend him;The adme|rall roweth into the baie where the Prior laie. and therewith vpon a sud|den rowed into the baie, where Prior Iehan had moored vp his gallies iust to the ground: which gal|lies with the bulworkes on the land, shot so terriblie, that they that followed were afraid. But the adme|rall passed forward, & as soone as he came to the gal|lies, he entered & droue out the Frenchmen. Willi|am Fitz Williams within his ship was sore hurt with a quarell. The baie was shallow, and the other ships could not enter, for the tide was spent.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Which thing the Frenchmen perceiuing, they en|tered the gallies againe with moris pikes, and fought with the English in the gallies. The admerall per|ceiuing their approch, thought to haue entred againe into his row barge, which by violence of the tide was driuen downe the streame, and with a pike he was EEBO page image 817 throwne ouer the boord,Sir Edward and Howard admerall drowned. and so drowned, and also the forenamed Alfonse was there slaine: all the other boates and vessels escaped verie hardlie awaie: for if they had taried, the tide had failed them, and then all had béene lost. The lord Ferrers and the other capteins were right sorowfull of this chance: but when there was no remedie, they determined not to attempt anie further, till they might vnderstand the kings pleasure, and so they returned into Eng|land.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 The Frenchmen perceiuing that the English fléet departed from the coasts of Britaine and drew towards England, did come foorth of their hauens, and Prior Iehan set foorth his gallies and foists, and drawing alongst the coasts of Normandie and Bri|taine, coasted ouer to the borders of Sussex with all his companie,The French gallies land in Sussex, and [...] certeine cotages. and there landed, and set fire on cer|teine poore cotages. The gentlemen that dwelt néere, raised the countrie, and came to the coast, and droue Prior Iehan to his gallies. The king was right sorie for the death of his admerall; but sorrow preuaileth not when the chance is past. Therefore the king hea|ring that the French nauie was abroad, called to him the lord Thomas Howard eldest brother to the late admerall,The lord Thomas Ho|ward made admerall. and sonne and heire apparant to the earle of Surrie, whome he made admerall, willing him to reuenge his brothers death. The lord Ho|ward humblie thanked his grace of the trust that he put in him, and so immediatlie went to the sea, and scowred the same, that no Frenchman durst shew himselfe on the coast of England, for he fought with them at their owne ports.
