It was thought the king would haue agréed with the French king, if this chance had not hapned, for all the people of Eng|land grudged against Flanders, for the euill demea|nour of the Flemings in time of the warre. Also the king was displeased with them for inhancing his coine there, which caused much monie to be conueied out of this realme dailie ouer into that countrie. Bounfires and great triumph was made in London for the taking of the French king, on saturdaie the eleuenth of March; and on the morow after being sundaie the twelfe of March, the king came to Paules, and there heard a solemne masse, and after the same was ended, the quéere sang Te Deum, and the minstrels plaid on eueri [...] side.

On the night (saith mine author) before the fiue and twen|tith of Februarie, a daie dedicated by the christians to the apostle saint Matthew, and also the daie of the [...]tiuitie of the emperour, the imperialles determi|ned to march to Mirabell, where laie incamped cer|teine companies of horssemen and footmen. In this march they stood vpon this intention, that if the French men mooued, then they had set at libertie the siege of Pauia: and if they mooued not, then to ad|uenture the fortune of the battell. Therefore the bet|ter to aduance this determination, all the beginning of the night they gaue manie alarmes, the more to kéepe trauelled and wearie the French men, making semblance as though they would charge them on that side towards Paw, Thesin, and saint Lazarus.
