The Scots were somewhat disordred with their comming out about the slaughter of the Eng|lishmen, the which they did so earnestlie follow, that they tooke not one to mercie. The dukes grace pla|cing himselfe (as yée haue heard) on the hill of Faux|side braie, and therewith perceiuing the great disor|der of the stragling horssemen, that had in the retire broken arraie, hemmed them in from further strai|eng, whome sir Rafe Uane, and others of the cap|teins soone after with great dexteritie brought into good order and arraie againe,Sir Rafe Uane. and with all the rest of the strengths of the whole armie, by the policie of the lords, and diligence of euerie capteine and officer be|side, were so fitlie and aptlie applied in their feat, that where this repulse giuen by the enimie to the horssemen was doubted of manie, to turne to the whole losse of the field, the same was wrought and aduanced according as it was deuised, to the great certeintie of gaine and victorie.Sir Peter Mewtas. For first at this slough, where most of the horssemen had stood, sir Pe|ter Mewtas capteine of all the harquebutters a foot did verie valiantlie conduct & place a good number of his men, in maner hard at the faces of the enimies, wherevnto sir Peter Gamboa a Spaniard,Sir Peter Gamboa. capteine of two hundred harquebutters, Spaniards, and Ita|lians on horssebacke did readilie bring his men also, who with the hot continuance of their shot in both parts, did so stoutlie staie the enimies, that they could not well come further forward:The Archers. then the archers that marched in arraie on the right hand of the footmen, and next to the enimies, pricked them sharpelie with arrowes as they stood.The m [...]ster [...]. Therewith the master of the ordinance, to their great annoiance, did gall them with haile shot and other out of the great ordinance, directlie from the hill top, and certeine other gun|ners with their peeces a flanke from the rere-ward, most of the artillerie and missiue engines then who|lie thus at once, with great pu [...]ssance and vehemen|cie occupied about them, herewith the full sight of the Englishmen, all shadowed from them before by the horssemen, and dust raised, whome then they were ware in such order to be so néere vpon them, and to this the perfect arraie of the horssemen againe com|ming couragiouslie to set on them afresh, miserable men, perceiuing themselues then all too late, how much too much they had ouershot themselues, began suddenlie to shrinke.

The Englishmen at the first had found them (as what could scape so manie eies) and sharpe|lie and quicklie with an vniuersall outcrie, They flie, they flie, pursued after in chase so egerlie, and with such fiercenesse, that they ouertooke manie, and spa|red indéed but few, that when they were once turned, it was a woonder to see how soone, and in how sun|drie sorts they were scattered. The place they stood on like a wood of staues strewed on the ground, as ru|shes in a chamber, vnpassable (they laie so thicke) for either horsse or man. Here at the first had they let fall all their pikes, and after that,The enimies cast awaie their muniti|on and furni|ture the light|lier to flie and be gone. euerie where scat|tered swords, bucklers, daggers, iackes, and all things else that was of anie weight, or might be any let to their course: which course among them, thrée waies speciallie they made, some along the sands by the Frith towards Lith, some streight towards E|denburgh, whereof part through the parke there (in the walles whereof, though they be round about of flint stone, yet were there manie holes alreadie made) and part of them by the high waie that leadeth along by the abbaie of Holierood house; and the resi|due and most part of them towards Daketh, which waie by means of the marish our horssemen were worst able to follow.

Some other laie flat in a furrow as they were dead, there|by past by of the Englishmen vntouched, and (as was reported) the earle of Angus confessed he cou|ched in that sort till his horsse hapt to be brought him.The earle of Angus. Other some were found to staie in the riuer, couring downe his bodie vnder the root of some willow tree, with scant his nose aboue water for breath. Some for lightnesse cast awaie shoos and doublets, and ran in their shirts, and some were séene in this race all breathlesse to fall flat downe, and haue run them|selues to death.
