Compare 1577 edition: 1 The earle of Shrewesburie, and the lord Greie with the armie comming vnto Hadington, were ioifullie receiued of the capteins and soldiours with|in: where it might appeare how valiantlie they had defended that towne during the siege, being so desti|tute of all things necessarie for their reléefe; and the fortifications so weake, that if the noble prowesse of their woorthie generall sir Iames Wilford, and the incomparable manhood of the rest of the capteins and soldiours had not supplied all other wants, it was thought impossible that they should haue defen|ded the place so long a time against such forces as had beene there imploied against them. But such was the vndanted valiancie of that noble crue and garrison, that euen the verie enimies themselues could not but yeeld high commendations to the capteins and soldiours for the hardie forwardnesse and manhood, which at all times they had found and tried in them at all points of seruice, when they came to deale with them. And verelie their same deserueth to be had in memorie for euer, not onelie for their woorthie atchi|ued exploits, doone by force of hand, to the beating backe and repelling of the enimies, but also for their patient susteining of hunger, thirst, continuall wat|ching, nakednesse, sickenesse, and all other such ca|lamities and miseries, as want of things necessarie for the reléefe and maintenance of mans life is woont to bring, [...]x patience [...] the English+ [...] [...] all [...] of [...]. to those that are inclosed in such wise by the enimie. All which extremities they were well content to susteine, so that it might turne to the benefit and renowme of their countrie, in comparison whereof they esteemed all things else verie vile and contemp|tible, were the same neuer so good, as the poet saith:

Tantus amor patriae mortalia pectora tangit,

Natalisque soli, prae quo bona caetera sordent.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The noble earle of Shrewesburie could not for|beare to shed teares, to vnderstand and perceiue that such woorthie soldiours should suffer such great di|stresse, whose valiant hearts could not be quailed with anie afflictions. Thus with mournefull imbra|cings intermixed with pitifull regards they met. The earle entering the towne, furnished it with new bands of men, good store of vittels, munition, and all other things conuenient, and as then thought requi|quisit. Thus hauing refreshed the towne, within two daies after he passed foorth towards the enimies, appointing by the aduise of that noble chiefteine the lord Greie, certeine bands of horssemen to kéepe themselues close togither in ambush, [...] and to send a few to the French campe, to trie if they might traine the Frenchmen out of their strength. And as they wished, it partlie came to passe: for diuerse of their horssemen issued foorth of their campe, and prof|fered the skirmish. The Englishmen suffered them|selues to be chased, vntill they had got their enimies within danger of their ambush, and then whirling a|bout, gaue them the charge, inforcing them to make their careir backe, with more than an easie gallop; so that hauing the Frenchmen thus in chase,The French|men chased. they slue and tooke diuerse, and among the prisoners were two capteins, Pierre Longue, and one Lucinet. The others that escaped, returned with this losse to their campe.

These Scots were scarse lodged, when suddenlie the earle of Shrewesburie & the lord Greie came with their armie diuided into three battels of footmen, garded with two troops of horssemen,The earle of Shrewesbu|rie profereth the enimies battell. pre|senting themselues before the faces of their enimies in the same place, where their anant currors the daie before had shewed themselues to draw foorth the Frenchmen. Here the armie thus ranged in arraie of battell, staied aboue the space of an houre, looking if the enimies durst haue come foorth to haue giuen battell:The French|men durst not come foorth of their campe. but when they perceiued that by no meanes the Frenchmen meant to forsake their strength, they returned backe to their campe. The English nauie being entered now into the Forth, was not idle: for comming to Brent Iland they set fire on foure ships, which they found there,Ships bur|ned. and after passing by Lieth saluted them within the towne with cannon shot, and after intending to burne saint Minets, were re|pelled from thense by the lord of Dune, and after re|turned to attend on the armie. The earle of Shrewes|burie, and my lord Greie hauing executed so much as their commission would beare, and refreshed Ha|dington with all things néedfull, departed home|wards; and comming to Dunglas,A fortresse built at Dun|glas. began there to build a fortresse. The English Almans as the armie passed by Dunbar, burned the towne. These Almans also, and certeine bands of Englishmen, as well horssemen as footmen, were left at Dunglas, vntill the Forth there begun was in some strength. The earle of Shrewesburie with the rest of the armie came backe into England.The lord Greie ente|reth againe into Scot|land. My lord Greie remaining on the borders lieutenant of the north parts, after the earle of Shrewesburie was returned home, assem|bled all the horssemen then lieng on the borders, and being backed with the Almane footmen, entered a|gaine with the same horssemen into Scotland, bur|ning and wasting in the countries of Tiuidall, and Liddesdall, for the space of twentie miles, both house, corne, haie, and all other things that came within their reach, and after returned without in|counter.
