Compare 1577 edition: 1 But their euill hap, as they that were appointed by Gods prouidence to suffer more damage at the Eng|lishmens hands, would not permit his persuasions to take place: for whereas peace was euen almost entring in at the gates, the king was suddenlie stir|red EEBO page image 557 to displeasure vpon a new occasion, for he being aduertised of the losse of his men at the late conflict in the territorie of Rone (as ye haue heard) refused to heare this word peace once named. The emperour like a wise princ [...] p [...]ssed ouer that time till another season,The emperor [...]n earnest me|diator for peace. that some fauourable aspect of the planets should séeme to f [...]rther his purpose. And when he thought the same was come, he br [...]ed againe the vessell of concord and amitie, which he put in so faire a cup, and presented it with such effectuous words, that [...]uerlie the king had tasted it, if word had not béen brought about the same time, that Harflue was besieged of the French both by water and land,Harflue besie|ged by the French. as it was indéed; for the constable of France incouraged by his last conflict (though the same was not much to his praise) assembled an armie, and vpon a sudden laid siege to the towne. At the same instant Iohn vi|count of Narbon the vice-admerall of France, brought the whole nauie to the riuage and shore ad|ioining to the towne, in purpose to haue entered by the waterside; but the duke of Excester defeated his intent, and defended the towne verie manfullie.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 King Henrie aduertised hereof, meant at the first to haue gone with his nauie in person to the succors of his men; but the emperor dissuaded him from that purpose, aduising him rather to send some one of his capteins. The king following his louing and reaso|nable aduertisement, appointed his brother the duke of Bedford accompanied with the earles of March, Marshall, Oxford, Huntington, Warwike, Arun|dell, Salisburie, Deuonshire, and diuerse barons, with two hundred saile to passe into Normandie, for rescue of the towne of Harflue; Titu [...] Liuius. which vsing great di|ligence shipped at Rie, and after some hinderance by contrarie winds, at length came to the mouth of the riuer of Seine on the daie of the Assumption of our ladie. When the vicount of Narbon perceiued the English nauie to approch, he couragiouslie set for|ward, and gat the possession of the mouth of the ha|uen.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The duke followed with all his puissance, and set on his enimies. The fight was long, but not so long as perillous, nor so perillous as terrible (for battels on the sea are desperate) till at length the victorie fell to the Englishmen, so that almost all the whole nauie of France, in the which were manie ships, hulkes, carikes,

Harflue res|cued by the Englishmen. After this, the duke of Bedford sailed vp to Harflue, & refreshed the towne both with vittels and monie; notwithstanding certeine other French gallies did what they could to haue letted that enterprise. When the erle of Armi|nacke heard that the puissant name of France was vanquished, he raised his siege & returned to Paris.
