Compare 1577 edition: 1 Carter that came to bring word of their com|ming, with a pike in his hand,Carter an hardie soldier and a good ser|uitor. stood at the place of the bulworke where they thus gaue the assault, & fought right valiantlie, giuing manie wounds, and recei|uing some againe: for he was hurt both in the thigh and arme, who suerlie of a priuat soldier (if he were priuat and ordinarie) séemed verie seruiceable at all assaies, considering into what desperat aduentures and hazzards he did as it were cast himselfe, estée|ming lesse the losse of life and lim, than the reproch and dishonor of his countrie, the glorie & renowme wherof (aboue all worldlie things which are but tem|porall) all men are naturallie bound with might & maine both to séeke and saue; as one verie well saith:

Nascimur vt patriam vitáque operáque iuuemus.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 Sir Nicholas Arnalt himselfe was hurt with a pike in the nose. Capteine Warren standing on the same bulworke with sir Nicholas, receiued two shots in his corselet, and one of them droue two or three links of his chaine into his necke. Capteine Broughton had there sixtéene of his armed men, e|uerie of them hauing their corselets persed through. The number of the Englishmen that were slaine, was reckoned to be fiue and twentie, and hurt eight and fiftie. Of Frenchmen there were slaine a great number, beside those that were hurt,The French|men repelled. and at length through shot, casting downe of stones and timber vpon their heads, scalding water and handblowes they were repelled, retiring out of the trenches shortlie after the breake of the daie, hauing conti|nued the assault from midnight till that time, still re|newing their forces, in hope to atchiue their wished preie: but being thus beaten off, they gathered togi|ther their dead men, and lading fiftéene waggons with their carcasses, they returned backe,Fifteéne wa|gons laden with French carcasses. without making anie further attempt at that time.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 And so by the high valiancie of sir Nicholas Ar|nalt, and the other capteins that serued in that fort vnder him, and chieflie by the assistance of almightie God, the giuer of all victories, the enimies were re|pelled, to their great dishonor, and the péece reser|ued to the immortall renowme of the defendants. Within a daie or two after, the generall of the Frenchmen sent to know of prisoners taken; but sir Nicholas Arnalt answered the messenger,

that he knew of no warre: and therefore if anie had attemp|ted to make a surprise of his péece by stealth, they were serued accordinglie to their malicious mea|nings. Indéed (said he) we haue taken none of your men, but we haue got some of your braue guilt ar|mour & weapons. Well (said the messenger) it is not the cowle that maketh the moonke, and no more is it the braue armour or weapon that maketh the man of warre: but the fortune of warre is such, sometime to gaine, and sometime to lose.
