Compare 1577 edition: 1 _AS to the causes alledged of our comming into England against our band and promise (as is alled|ged) thereto we answere; our bro|ther was bound as farre to vs, as we to him. And when we sware last before his ambassador, in presence of our councell; we expressed especiallie in an othe, that we would keepe to our brother, if our brother kept to vs, and not else. We sweare our brother brake first vnto vs. And since his breach we haue required diuers times him to amend; & latelie we warned our brother, as he did not vs, yer he brake. And this we take for our quarrell, and with Gods grace shall defend the same at your affixed time, which with Gods grace we shall a|bide.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 The Scotish herald is de|t [...]ined of the English.And forsomuch as the king kept Rouge Crosse with him, who was not yet returned, the same earle caused the same Ilaie to be in the kéeping of sir Humfrie Lisle and Yorke herald in the same vil|lage, vntill the time that a seruant of the same Ilaie might ride in all hast to the king of Scots, for the de|liuering of the said Rouge Crosse. Then the earle ioious of the kings answer, returned to his campe, and set forward fiue miles, to a place called Woller Haugh, in such order of battell, as euen then he should haue fought, and there lodged for that night, three little miles from the king of Scots. And be|twéene the king & him was a goodlie & large corne field called Milfield, which was a conuenient & faire ground for two hosts to fight on: there either host might perceiue other. The earles desire was to pro|cure the Scots to descend the hill into some euen ground, where he might fight with them without dis|aduantage of place.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 But the king, though he had a great desire to fight, yet vpon diuerse considerations, by aduise of his councell he still kept his ground, and meant not to remooue at all out of his strength. Wherevpon the earle of Surrie not able long to continue in such grounds of disaduantage, by reason of mires, and marishes, amongst the which he lodged with his ar|mie that was almost famished for lacke of sufficient vittels, which could not be recouered in such a barren countrie, determined to séeke all waies possible, if he might constreine the Scotish king to come downe beside the hill. He therefore raised his campe, and leauing his enimies on the left hand,The earle of Surrie re|mooueth his campe ouer the water of Till. and passing o|uer the water of Till, he drew into a more commo|dious ground, at the end of Barmore wood; to the end he might refresh his souldiers some what hereby after they had beene toiled for the space of thrée daies togither in cloggie mires, and foule filthie waies, to their disease and wearinesse.
