Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 5 Two battels of Scots fought not, but gaue the l [...]king on.The lord Hume and the earle of Huntleie got horsses, and escaped awaie togither with certeine bands, placed in two the hindermost wards, which of all that daie neuer came to handstrokes, but stood still and gaue the looking on. Thus thorough the power of God, on fridaie being the ninth of September, in the yeare 1513 was Iames the fourth of t [...]t name, king of Scots, slaine at Bramxston, and his armie discomfited by the earle of Surrie, lieutenant to Henrie the eight king of England, which a little be|fore had woone the towne of Terwine, and was then preparing to go to besiege Tornaie. There were slaine in this battell on the Scotish part, of all sorts, the number of eight thousand persons at the least: Pau. Iouius. Edw. Hall. some saie twelue thousand, besides prisoners that were taken, as sir William Scot, chancellor to the said king, and sir Iohn Forman his sergeant porter, with diuerse others. Also in maner, all the Scotish ensignes were taken, and a two and twentie péeces of great ordinance, amongest the which were seauen culuerings of a larg [...] ass [...]se, and verie faire peeces. King Iames named them (for that they were in ma|king one verie like to an other) the seauen sisters.Seuen cul|uerings called seuen sisters & why. This conflict with egernesse on both sides was con|tinued thrée full houres, as Anglorum praelia saith:

I am tres integras pugnatum est cominùs h [...]ras.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 Though the victorie thus remained with the Eng|lishmen, yet they bought it déere, loosing no small number of their people, as well of those that were slaine in the field, as of others that were taken priso|ners; for the Scots fought verie stoutlie, and gaue it not ouer for a little, insomuch that there were taken and slaine about fifteene hundred men, as appeared by the booke of wages, when the souldiers were paid. Manie Englishmen that followed ouer rashlie in the chase of the Scots, went so farre, Edw. Hall. The English mens ouerrash hardinesse turnes them to hurt. that they wist not which waie to returne, and so were taken of the Scots that were in the two battels that went awaie with cleare hands, and neuer fought. Also, diuerse were taken by the lord chamberleine, which fought with the wing of sir Edmund Howard, and were ca|ried awaie by him and his companie into Scotland, as Iohn Fitton esquier, and others. During the time of the fight, and the night after, manie English|men lost their horsses, and such stuffe as they left in their tents and pauilions, by the robbers of Tindale and Tiuidale.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 When the field was doone, and that the skouts brought word that there was no more appearance of the Scots, but that they were all auoided and gone, the earle gaue thanks to God, and called to him cer|teine lords and gentlemen, and them made knights; as sir Edmund Howard his sonne, the lord Scroope, sir William Persie, sir Edward Gorge, and diuerse others. The earle and the lord admerall departed to Bermar wood, & there lodged that night, leauing sir Philip Tilneie knight and diuerse other worthie cap|teins, with a conuenient power of men, to kéepe the place where the field had béene fought, for safegard of the ordinance. The bodie of the king of Scots was not found vntill the next daie,The bodie of king Iames found hauing diuerse dead|lie wounds. and then being found and knowne by the lord Dacres, there appeared in the same diuerse deadlie wounds, and speciallie, one with an arrow, and an other with a bill. But some saie he died of two, both which were inflicted vpon him to his deadlie bane (and well worthie for truce-breaking) by the sword; as Anglorum praelia reporteth:

Vulneribus Scotus acceptis cadit ense duobus,

Perfidiae meritas fuso dans sanguine poenas.
