Thither came the lord admerall, whome the king heartilie thanked of his paines, and there euerie man was paied his full wages and conduct monie, and ships prepared for the passage; and so the foure and twentith daie of September, the king with a priuie companie tooke ship, and the same day landed at Do|uer, and shortlie after all his people followed; then he with a small companie rode to Richmond in post to the queene, where was such a louing méeting, that e|uerie creature reioised.A mortalitie. This season began a great mortalitie in London and other places, where much people died. All this winter the kings nauie kept the seas, and robbed and spoiled the Frenchmen on their coasts, so that they were euerie foot afflicted by the English, & wist not which way to remedie it, bearing grudge in their hearts, and wishing a generall de|struction of their enimies, against whome they did swell with malignitie and indignation, both for their late ouerthrowes and losses aswell of lands as liues; the surrender of Terwin sticking in their stomachs, and the yéelding of Tornaie nipping them at the heart, which had lost the propertie, & was now forced to obeie new lords and new lawes, as our poet saith:

—dominorum serua nouorum,

Vrbs Tornaci.Accipit ecce nouas Henrico principe leges.

Whilest the king was occupied in his warres against France in the summer of this yeare (as be|fore is mentioned) yée haue heard how the king of Scots sent his letters vnto the king, as then lieng at the siege before Terwine, and what answer was made thereto by the king. Immediatlie vpon the sen|ding of those his letters conteining in effect a defi|ance, the king of Scots assembled his people to in|uade the English confines: but before his whole po|wer was come togither,Lord Humes entereth the borders of England. the lord Humes that was lord chamberleine of Scotland, on a day in August entered England with seuen or eight thousand men, and getting togither a great bootie of cattell, thought to haue returned therewith into his countrie.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 But as he came to passe through a field ouer|growne with broome, called Milfield,Englishmen assaile the Scots. the English men vnder the leading of sir William Bulmer, and other valiant capteins, hauing with them not past a thousand souldiers, being laid within that field in ambushment, brake foorth vpon him: and though the Scots on foot defended themselues right manfullie, yet the English archers shot so wholie togither,Scots put to flight. that the Scots were constreined to giue place. There were of them slaine at this bickering fiue or six hun|dred, and foure hundred or more taken prisoners; the lord chamberleine himselfe escaped by flight,Lord cham|berleine es|capeth. The ill road. but his banner was taken. This was called by the Scots the ill rode. In the meane time was the whole power of Scotland assembled, with the which king Iames approching to the borders,Norham ca|stell besieged. and comming to Norham castell, laid siege thereto, hauing there with him an hundred thousand men.
