Which the enimie finding about two of the clocke in the same afternoone, sent fortie or fiftie for|lorne boies with swords and targets to view and assaie the breach. The ditch at that place before the batterie was not foure and twentie foot broad, now assuredlie not a dozzen, nor in deapth aboue a mans knées, wherefore with small adoo they came to the breach, and with as little paine came vp the same, the clime was so easie; from whence hauing dischar|ged certeine pistols vpon the Englishmen, and re|ceiued a few pushes of the pike, they retired. And making report of the easinesse of the breach, strait a band or two of Gascoigns (as it was thought) threw themselues into the ditch, and vp they came. Then a little more earnestly the Englishmen leaned to their tackling, their flankers walked, their pikes, their culuers, their pots of wild fire were lent them, the harquebush saluted them, so as tollie maister Gas|coigne was set downe with more hast than he came vp with good spéed: and so ended mondaies worke,The Gas|coignes put backe with more hast than they came vp with good spéed. sauing that vpon the retire from the assalt, they gaue seuen or eight such terrible tires of batterie, as tooke cleane away from them within the top of their vau|mure and maunds, leauing them all open to the ca|nons mouth. Wherby surelie but for night that came on, the Englishmen had beene forced to haue aban|doned the place.

There was also sore hurt at the same assault, one other Spanish capteine, with diuerse others, whom for the auoiding of tediousnesse I let passe.

The bat|terie (as before is told) hauing laid the bulworks o|pen, they within were inforced for winning of a new vaumure, to intrench within the bulworke six foot déepe, and nine in thicknesse, which maruellouslie did strengthen the péece, the same being of no great largenesse before. By the next daie being tuesdaie, they had planted two batteries more; the one in the market place of the towne, to beate a curteine of the bodie of the castell, of six canons; the other vpon the rampire of the towne of thrée péeces, to beat the Cat and a flanker of the Barbican, which two garded one side of the Marie bulworke.

And thus after an houres plaie with the harquebush onelie, and a light offer or two of approach, this people retired them, and gaue the canon place againe, which by night had driuen them within anew to become moldwarps, and to intrench themselues with all speed possible.
