Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The rebels came foorth with their horssemen: but it séemed that they were better practised to fetch in booties, than to make their manage or careire, and therefore not able to match the strangers, which be|ing perceiued of their fellowes that were footmen, they put foorth their archers before their horssemen, and such numbers herewith came swarming foorth of their campe, meaning to compasse in those stran|gers, that they perceiuing the maner and purpose of the enimies, cast themselues in a ring, and retired backe into the citie againe. But they left one of their companie behind them, a gentleman that was an I|talian, who more valiantlie than warilie ventured too farre among the enimies, and through euill hap be|ing ouerthrowne beside his horsse, he was inuironed about with a great multitude of those rebels, that tooke him prisoner, and like vile wretches spoiling him of his armor and apparell, hanged him ouer the wals of mount Surrie.An Italian hanged by the rebels. Which act well shewed what courtesie might be looked for at such cruell traitors hands, that would thus vnmercifullie put such a gen|tleman and worthie souldior to death: for whose ran|some, if they would haue demanded it, they might haue had no small portion of monie to haue satisfied their gréedie minds. But it séemed that their beastlie crueltie had berest them the remembrance of all ho|nest consideration and dutifull humanitie.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 The marquesse of Northampton causing (as be|fore yee haue heard) diligent watch to be kept vpon the walles, and at the gates, appointed the same to be visited right often, that through negligence no mis|hap should follow. Moreouer, besides the watch at the gates and walles, the residue of the soldiors ma|king a mightie huge fire in the market place, so as all the stréets were full of light, they remained there all that night in their armour, readie vpon anie oc|casion to resist the enimies if they should make anie attempt. Sir Edward Warner marshall of the field gaue the watch-word, sir Thomas Paston,Sir Edward Warner. sir Iohn Clere, sir William Walgraue, sir Thomas Cornwallis, and sir Henrie Bedingfield were ap|pointed to the defense of other parts of the citie. And now when euerie thing was thought to be safelie prouided for, and that the lord marquesse and other were laid to take their rest, the rebels about the mid|dest of the night began to shoot off their great artille|rie towards the citie, so thicke as was possible: but the bullets passed ouer their heads that were lodged in the citie, without dooing anie great hurt at all.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The lord marquesse, by reason of the often ala|rums that were giuen, whilest the enimies thus cea|sed not to rage with continuall shot of ordinance, was called vp by the marshall sir Edward War|ner; and comming into the market place, accompa|nied with the nobles and gentlemen of the armie, fell in councell with them, how to foresée that the citie in such danger might be safelie defended against the enimies with such small power as he had there with him. It was therefore determined, that all the gates which were on the contrarie part of the towne from the rebels campe, and likewise the ruinous places of the walles should be rampired vp, that if the enimies should chance to giue an assault to the EEBO page image 1034 citie, they might more easilie be repelled.
