A councel hol|den at Yorke. came to Yorke, where he held a coun|cell of his lords, to haue their aduise by what means he might best restore his armie, and reuenge the losse which he had susteined at the hands of his enimie R. Bruce.Sir Peter Spalding. And shortlie after was sir Peter Spalding sent vnto Berwike, with a crew of souldiers to de|fend the towne against the said Bruce, who intended shortlie to laie siege to that towne, as the king had certeine vnderstanding.
