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.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The ninth of October being tuesdaie, monsieur de Desse, with his Frenchmen and Almans, came in the morning long before daie to Hadington, mean|ing to haue woone the towne by stealth. And verelie the enterprise was gouerned in such secret maner, that the Frenchmen had killed the English scouts, and were entered the base court, yer anie alarum was raised: and hauing slaine the watch, some of them ran to a place behind a church, where the Eng|lishmen had their vittels and munitions, and some thrust vp to the towne gate,A camisado giuen to Ha|dington. inforsing with great vio|lence to breake it open, crieng with noise and shouts, Uictorie, victorie, whereof in déed they accounted themselues then assured. And questionles the Eng|lishmen being thus wakened out of their sléeps on the sudden, were in some great disorder; so that ma|nie of them came running foorth without either ar|mour or apparell, their shirts excepted; & others ran they wist not well whither, nor where to take héed. But yet as the Frenchmen were thronged togither at the gate to breake it open, a Frenchman (as their EEBO page image 996 writers doo report) that serued within the towne, but as other saie Tiberio capteine of the Italians, with his match light gaue fier to a double canon, that laie readie bent against the gate, so that the same shooting off,The French|men repelled. made such a lane among the Frenchmen, that they were glad to giue place, and with such a fearefull crie, that those which were behind, not vnderstanding what losse their fellowes before had susteined, brake their arraie and fled amaine.
