Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The duke of Albanie hearing of the preparation which the earle of Surrie made against him, sent to him an herald, promising him of his honour to giue him battell; and if he tooke him prisoner, he would put him to courteous ransome, & his bodie to be safe. To whome the earle answered, that much he thanked the duke of his offer, promising him to abide battell if he durst giue it; & that if the said duke chanced to be taken by him or his, he would strike off his head, and send it for a present to his maister the king of Eng|land, and bade him that he should trust to none other. At this answer the duke and the Scots tooke great despite. The earle of Surrie being at Alnewicke, there came to him the earles of Northumberland and Westmerland, the lords Clifford, Dacres, Lum|leie, Ogle, & Darcie, with manie knights, esquiers, gentlemen, and other souldiers and men of warre, to the number of fortie thousand. And from the court there came the maister of the horsse, sir Ncholas Ca|rew, sir Francis Brian, sir Edward Bainton, and others.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The last of October being saturdaie,The castell of Warke assaul|ted by the Scots. in the night before the same daie, the duke of Albanie sent two or thrée thousand men ouer the water to besiege the castell of Warke, which comming thither with their great ordinance, beat the castell verie sore, and wan the vttermost ward called the Barnekins. On sun|daie and mondaie being the first and second of No|uember, they continued their batterie, and then thin|king that the place was assaultable, couragiouslie set on the castell, and by strength entered the second ward. Sir William Lisle that was capteine of this castell, perceiuing the enimies to haue woone the EEBO page image 882 false breies, and that nothing remained but onelie the inner ward or dungeon, incouraged his men to the best of his power, with words of great comfort and manhood, and therewith issued foorth with those few that he had left about him (for he had lost manie at other assaults) and what with couragious shoo|ting, and manfull fighting, the enimies were driuen out of the place,The Scots & French dri|uen backe from Warke castell. and of them were slaine, and name|lie of those Frenchmen which the duke had brought foorth of France, to the number of thrée hundred, which laie there dead in fight when the earle of Sur|rie came thither, besides such as died of wounds, and were drowned.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 Then the Scots and Frenchmen remooued their ordinance ouer the water in all hast, and by that time that they were got ouer, the earle of Surrie was come with fiue thousand horssemen, and all his great armie followed. He was sorie that his enimies were gone, and much praised sir William Lisle for his va|liancie. The earle would gladlie haue followed his enimies into their owne borders, but his commission was onelie to defend the realme, and not to inuade Scotland; and therefore he staid, not onelie vnto the great displeasure of himselfe, but also of manie a lu|stie gentleman, that would gladlie haue séene fur|ther proofe of the Scotish mens manhood. Shortlie after, the quéene of Scots, moother to the king, sent to hir brother the king of England, for an abstinence of warre, vntill further communication might be had about the conclusion of some good agréement be|twixt the two realmes of England and Scotland, which request to hir was granted; and so the Eng|lish armie brake vp, and the earle of Surrie retur|ned to the court.
