Compare 1587 edition: 1 Iohn Cumyn therefore deſirous to redreſſe this heauie miſerie and lamentable caſe of his countrey, admitted Symon Fraſer fellow with him in the adminiſtratiõ of the wars, againſt the Engliſhmen, and therwith gathering an army of .viij. thouſand hardy men of warre, ſetteth in hande to reuẽge the iniurious doings of the eni|mies,King Edwards officers chaſed out of Scotlãd chaſing out of the realme all ſuch officers with their ſeruauntes as king Edward had pla|ced in any roomthes within the bounds of Scot|land, and ſuche as reſiſted hee purſued in moſte cruell wyſe, not ſparyng to put them vnto the ſwoorde in all places where hee mighte fynde them.

Compare 1587 edition: 1 King Edwarde ſore kyndeled in diſpleaſure with theſe attemptes of ſuche deſperate perſons,Scotlande a|gayn inuaded. reyſed an armie of thirtie thouſand men, and ſent the ſame into Scotlande vnder the leading of a right ſloute and valiant capitayne named Ra|dulph,

Radulph Cõ|fraye.

I remember not that any of the Engliſh nobilitie bare this ſurname in theſe days, wherefore I thinke it was the lord Iohn Segraue.

Io Cumyn & Symon Fraſer

Compare 1587 edition: 1 This Radulph at his commyng into Scot|lande, tooke ſmall regarde to the orderyng of his field, but deuided his armie into three partes, e|uery part conteining .x. thouſand men, and ap|pointed them to paſſe foorth to forraye the coun|trey, and to mete altogither at Roſlyn, in ſuche ſort and tyme as he preſcribed. Iohn Cumyn & Symon Fraſer being aduertiſed hereof, gathered their powers together, to the nũber of .vij. or viij. thouſand men, and determined to try the chance of battayle with one part of the Engliſh armye firſt, truſting that if they hapned to haue the vp|per hande of one of the three parts, the other two would be the more eaſy to deale with.
