And espieng well the neg|ligence of the Flemings his neighbors, how little they vnderstood the great weakening of their coun|trie by the losse of Calis, and that there was no new prouision made for the defense thereof, more than was before, whilest Calis was English, by the losse wherof, their frontiers were now become open for the French at all times to enter. He therefore taking out of Calis so manie of his soldiors as might be spared from thense, adioining to them all the forces of the French garrisons in Arthois, Bul|longnois, and Picardie, whereof togither with the soldiors of Calis, being to the number of seuen hun|dred footmen, and thrée hundred light horssemen Sco|tish, there were assembled fouretéene ensigns of the French footmen, eightéene vanlins of Almans, foure or fiue hundred men at armes of France, be|side the light horssemen Scots, amounting in the whole to the number at the least of nine thousand footmen, and fifteene hundred horssemen, entred in|to Flanders, with full determination to spoile and waste all king Philips countrie along the sea coast,Monsieur de Thermes de| [...]mination a [...]le king Philips [...]ntrie. and namelie a proper hauen towne called Dun|kirke, and with like purpose to haue surprised the towne of Graueling; if occasion would so serue.

And af|ter setting the towne on fire (whereby all in the coun|trie about were maruellouslie put in feare) and the French spreading further abroad, wasted the most fruitfull quarter of all that part of Flanders, euen almost vnto Newport.

Monsieur de Thermes hearing of this power assem|bled (though scarselie well recouered) made all possi|ble hast toward Graueling, where he was no sooner arriued, but that he saw his enimies readie ranged in the field. By reason whereof his studie was now nothing else but how he might bring home his armie in safetie to Calis.
