Compare 1577 edition: 1 In this meane time that the king of England was occupied about Caen, the Frenchmen had neither a|nie sufficient power to resist him, nor were able to as|semble an host togither in their necessitie, by reason of the dissention among themselues: for their king was so simple, that he was spoiled both of treasure and kingdome, so that euerie man spent and wasted he cared not what. Charles the Dolphin being of the age of sixtéene or seauentéene yeares,Commenda|tion of the Dolphin of France. bewailed the ruine and decaie of his countrie, he onlie studied the reléefe of the common-wealth, and deuised how to resist his enimies; but hauing neither men nor mo|nie, was greatlie troubled and disquieted in mind. In conclusion, by the aduise and counsell of the earle of Arminacke the constable of France, he found a meane to get all the treasure & riches which his moo|ther queene Isabell had gotten and hoorded in diuerse secret places: and for the common defense and profit of his countrie he wiselie bestowed it in waging souldiers, and preparing of things necessarie for the warre.

The duke of Bur|gognie hauing the sword in his hand, in reuenge of old iniuries, began to make warre on the Dolphin, determining, that when he had tamed this yoong vn|brideled gentleman, then would he go about to with|stand, and beat backe the common enimies of the realme. The like reason mooued the Dolphin, for he minded first to represse the authours of ciuill discord, before he would set vpon forreine enimies, and there|fore prepared to subdue and destroie the duke of Bur|gognie, as the cheefe head of that mischeefe, whereby the realme was vnquieted, decaied, and in manner brought to vtter ruine. Thus was France afflicted, and in euerie part troubled with warre and diuision, and no man to prouide remedie, nor once put foorth his finger for helpe or succour.
