Compare 1577 edition: 1 At length the king approched the riuer of Some, & finding all the bridges broken, he came to the passage of Blanchetake,Blanchetake. where his great grandfather king Edward the third a little before had striken the bat|tell of Cressie: but the passage was now so impeached with stakes in the botome of the foord, that he could not passe, his enimies besides there awaie so swar|ming on all sides. He therefore marched forwards to Arames, marching with his armie, and passing with his carriage in so martiall a maner, that he ap|peared so terrible to his enimies, as they durst not of|fer him battell. And yet the lord Dalbreth constable of France, the marshall Boncequault, the earle of Uendosme great master of France, the duke of A|lanson, and the earle of Richmont, with all the puis|sance of the Dolphin laie at Abuile, but euer kept the passages, and coasted aloofe, like a hauke though ea|ger yet not hardie on hir preie. The king of England kept on his iournie till he came to the bridge of saint Marence, where he found aboue thirtie thousand Frenchmen, and there pitched his field, looking suer|lie to be fought withall.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Wherefore to incourage his capteins the more, he dubbed certeine of his hardie and valiant gentle|men knights,Diuerse cap|teins knights as Iohn lord Ferrers of Grobie, Re|ginald of Greistocke, Piers Tempest, Christopher Morisbie, Thomas Pikering, William Huddleston, Iohn Hosbalton, Henrie Mortimer, Philip Hall, and William his brother, Iaques de Ormond, and di|uerse other: but the French making no semblance to fight, he departed in good order of battell by the towne of Amiens, to another towne néere to a ca|stell called Bowes, and there laie two daies looking for their bidding of battell euerie houre. W.P. From thence he came néere to Corbie, where he was staied that night, for that the common people and pezants mightilie there assembled, hauing gotten them some head and hartening by meanes of their number that was great, and by trust of a strength (then ioined vn|to them) made of men at armes (manie too tall and well appointed for fight) all of the garrison of Cor|bie:Standing in Picardie be|twéene Ami|ens & Peron all vpõ the ri|uer of Some. a strong towne well walled and warded. Here|vpon at a streict (which they had preoccupied) they stoutlie from our armie not onelie kept the passage, but also vpon vs gaue a proud onset: wherein sir Hugh Stafford knight lord Bourghchier, chéefteine of a wing to the king vnder his standard of Guien,Sir Hugh Stafford lord Bourghchier. and as then neerest to the enimie, though far inferior in number, yet with readie and valiant incounter receiued them. The force and slaughter grew great both on the one side and the other, by the French in e|speciall at first right fiercelie pursued, in so much as with an hardie charge vpon our men, they had both beat downe the standard, and also from vs quite woone it awaie, to their hie incouragement, and our incredible despite and dismaie.
