Compare 1577 edition: 1 Beside the trenches which were cast, and brought in maner round about the town, there was a mount raised vpon the east side; and diuerse peeces of artil|lerie planted aloft on the same, the which togither with the morter péeces, so [...] annoied them within, & battered downe the steeple of our ladies church. To conclude the batterie was made in most forcible wise in thrée seuerall places, and the walles, towers, and castell were vndermine [...]; and the towne within so beaten with shot out of the campe, and from the mount and trench by the morter péeces, that there were verie few houses left whole therein. The towne thus standing in great distresse, there were two hundred Frenchmen and Italians, which interprised vnder the conduct of Io [...]ourtio to enter the town in couert of the night, which exploit they so warilie at|chiued, that by meanes of a priest that could speake the English toong, they passed by the scouts, & through the watch, so as the most part of them were got ouer the trenches yer it was knowne what they were: to the number of six score of them got into the towne, but the residue after they were once descried, being intercepted, were taken or slaine. Although this small succour somewhat relieued them within, and put them in some hope to defend the towne some|what longer against the kings power: yet [...]t length when a péece of the castell was blowne vp, and the breaches made, as was thought reasonable, the as|sault was giuen by the lord admerall Dudleie,Bullongne assaulted. that was come thither from the sea, which he had scowred after his returne foorth of Scotland.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 This assault was couragiouslie giuen, and to speake a truth, no lesse manfullie defended: so that when the assailants had perceiued in what state the breaches stood, and what prouision they within had made for defense of their towne, which vndoubtedlie was great (for nothing was by them omitted, that might either aduantage the defendants, or annoie the assailants) those that were appointed in this sort to giue the assault, were called backe, and so they retired, but not without losse on both sides, and namelie of them within. For during the time of the assault, the great artillerie did beat still vpon them that presented themselues at the breaches to re|pell the assailants, and so diuerse of their valiant capteins and braue souldiers were slaine at this as|sault, & among other, capteine Philip Corse. Shortlie after, the capteins within the towne, doubting to be eftsoones assaulted, and perceiuing themselues in ex|treame danger to lose the towne by force, if they pro|uided not the sooner, by rendering it to saue them|selues: they sent foorth two of their chiefe capteins, monsieur Semblemont, and monsieur de Haies, which declared vnto the king, that monsieur de Uer|uine gouernour of the towne, with his retinue, was contented to deliuer the towne vnto his grace, with condition that they might passe wi [...]h [...]ag and bag|gage. Which request the king, like a noble and merci|full prince, fréelie granted: and so the next daie, the duke of Suffolke rode into Bullongne, vnto whome in the kings name the keies of the towne were deli|uered,Bullongne deliuered. & in the afternone departed out of Bullongne all the Frenchmen with heauie hearts, to the num|ber of six thousand, as C. O. witnesseth, saieng:

Sex hinc exierant Gallorum millia gentis.

The last person that came foorth was monsieur de Ueruine himselfe, who vpon EEBO page image 965 his approch to the place where the king stood, alighted from his horsse, and came to the king, and after hée had talked with him a space, the king tooke him by the hand, and he reuerentlie kneeling vpon his knées, kissed his hand, and afterward mounted vpon his horsse, and so departed, following his companie.
