Compare 1577 edition: 1 On the sixtéenth of September a number of EEBO page image 970 Scots and Frenchmen attempted to enter into England on the east borders. But the Englishmen perceiuing them about to passe by a certeine streict, set vpon them, and slue and tooke of them to the num|ber of seuen score. Among the prisoners that were taken, the lord of Humes sonne, and a French cap|teine were accompted chiefest. Also in another rode made into the west borders, the lord Maxwels sonne, and diuerse others were taken.Ouerthrowes on both sides, betwixt the English and Scots. But at an other time about the same season also, certeine Englishmen to the number of fiue hundred, making their entrie by the west borders into Scotland, were discomfited by the Scots, and the more part of them either taken or slaine. Thus were they occupied as well on the bor|ders betwixt England and Scotland, in this season, as also in the marches of Calis, Guisnes, and Bul|lognois, where the garrisons lieng in those places, made continuall rodes & forraies into the marches of the enimies countrie, and oftentimes chanced to incounter with some of their troops.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 The capteine of Ard, monsieur de Dampiere, ha|uing got for a supplie from the French campe at Bul|logne, the companie of the men of armes that be|longed to the duke of Orleance, led by his lieute|nant monsieur de Tauannes, chanced on a daie to incounter with the Englishmen guided by that va|liant baron the lord Greie of Wilton, capteine of the towne of Guisnes, who being accompanied with a number of valiant gentlemen & soldiers, distressed their enimies, & slue the capteine of Ard the foresaid lord de Dampiere there in field. Diuerse other skir|mishes and incounters chanced in that summer, on the further side the seas. And moreouer, now after that the French nauie was withdrawen (as ye haue heard) from the coasts about Portesmouth, that mar|tiall chiefteine, sir Iohn Dudleie, lord Lisle, and high admerall of England, hauing all his ships, men, mu|nition, & furniture readie, set forward from Portes|mouth hauen, to haue fought with the Frenchmen, if they had still kept the seas, but they were with|draw [...]e home into harborough.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 Wherevpon the lord admerall meaning to re|uenge their brauados, and presumptuous attempts made at Portesmouth, and in the Ile of Wight, ap|proched to the coasts of Normandie, and landed with six thousand men at Treport, burnt the suburbes of that towne, with the abbeie, and certeine villages and houses thereabouts. Also they destroied thirtie ships, and a barke there found in the hauen: and after they had wrought their pleasures, they returned to the sea, and so home, not hauing lost past fourtéene persons in the execution of this whole enterprise. Of this great spoile & ouerthrow giuen at Treport, by the kings admerall, I find these verses remembred:
—Treportem passibus aequisT [...]eporte oppi|dum Galliae ma|ritimum à Iohanne Dud|leio praefecto re|giae clas [...]is diri|pitur & flam|mis absumitur. Ordine seruato (qui mus est militis) intrant:Obuius vt quisque est, is stricto sternitur ense,Ast alius volucri traiectus membra sagitta,Occidit exanguis, foedátque cruore plateas.Dum reclusa alius vult prospectare fenestra,Nec conferre pedem, nec aperto praelia MarteCommiscere audet, glandis transfigitur ictu.Omne genus telorum ad caedem immittitur atram.
