Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The Englishmen were not idle,The English men fortifie their campe. whilest the cardi|nall was thus in hand to bring the parties to some good agréement, but cast great ditches, and made hed|ges, and other fortifications about the place where their archers stood, and on the next morning, being mondaie, the prince and his people prepared them|selues to receiue battell, as they had doone before, ha|uing passed the day before and that night in great defect of necessarie things, for they could not stir a|broad to fetch forrage or other prouisions without danger to be surprised of their enimies. The cardi|nall came againe earlie in the morning vnto the French king, and found the French armie readie in order of battell by that time the sunne was vp, and though he eftsoones fell in hand to exhort the king to an agréement, yet it would not be. So he went to the prince,The cardinal trauelled in vaine. and declared to him how he could doo no good in the matter, and therefore he must abide the hazard of battell for ought that he could sée: wherewith the prince was content, and so the cardinall returned vn|to Poic [...]iers.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 ¶ Here is to be remembred, that when (as Thomas Walsingham writeth) this cardinall of Piergort was sent from the pope to trauell betwixt the parties for a peace to be had, and that the pope exhorted him verie earnestlie to shew his vttermost diligence and indeuour therein: at his setting foorth to go on that message, the said cardinall (as was said) made this answer: Tho. Wal [...]. A prophesie [...] a prelate. Most blessed father (said he) either we will persuade them to peace and quietnesse, either else shall the verie flintstones crie out of it. But this he spake not of himselfe, as it was supposed but being a prelate in that time, he prophesied what should follow; for when the English archers had bestowed all their arrowes vpon their enimies, they tooke [...]p pebles from the place where they stood, being full of those kind of stones, and approching to their enimies, they threw the same with such violence on them, that ligh|ting against their helmets, armor, and targets, they made a great ringing noise, so that the cardinals prophesie was fulfilled, that he woulde either persuade a peace, or else the stones should crie out thereof.
