Compare 1577 edition: 1 He staied thrée daies before Orleance, and from thence, for want of vittels, marched through Gasti|nois, till he came to Uignie sur Yonne, where he re|mained for a season, to refresh his people that were sore trauelled, Titus Liuius. in that painefull passed iournie: in which the king lost not onelie manie of his men for lacke of vittels, but also a great number of horsses and carriages. Some haue written, that about the same time, he should win the citie of Sens, other|wise called the kings new towne by surrender; but after he had remained for a time at Uignie, Les histories des ducz de Normandie. we find that he remoued to Paris, where he was honorablie receiued. Abr. Fl. ¶For he came among them as one hauing empire and dominion in his hand, so that to him they were no lesse forward in submission for feare of his indignation, than readie to giue him all the inter|teinement that they could deuise for the keeping of his fauour: the lacke whereof they knew stood with the hazard of their safetie, as the contrarie tended to their welfare.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Shortlie after, considering with himselfe that the towne of Meaux in Brie, being replenished with e|nimies, was not to be suffered to remaine in that state, in the middes of his new gotten subiects; he de|termined to take awaie the open scruple that might poison and infect the members, dwelling hard by: wherefore with a great number of earles and barons in his companie, he came to besiege it. This towne was no lesse well vittelled than manned, and no bet|ter manned than fortified; so that the king could nei|ther haue it to him deliuered at his pleasure, nor gaine it by assault, without the great losse of his peo|ple: yet neuerthelesse, he determined not to depart, till he had got it by one meane or other. The riuer of Marne diuided this towne into two parts, so that there was no enterie from the one into the other, but by a bridge, raised vp, and made ouer the riuer, sustei|ned with manie arches. The one part is called the ci|tie, and the other la March, being the strongest and best fortified.The strong towne of Me|aux besieged by the Eng|lishmen. The king first lodged a mile off in a ca|stell, and sent the duke of Excester to begin the siege, which he did, according to his instructions, vpon the sixt of October.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Shortlie after, the king himselfe came, and lodged in the abbeie of Pharon, the duke of Excester in the abbeie de Chage, the earle of March at the greie fri|ers, and the earle of Warwike directlie against that part that is called la March. They within defended themselues right valiantlie, so that the Englishmen were not all at their ease, but specialie through lacke of vittels manie died, and manie fell sicke, by reason whereof, no small number returned home into Eng|land; where in the meane time, on the first of Decem|ber, a parlement was called and holden at West|minster,A parlement called by the duke of Bed|ford, the king being in France. by the duke of Bedford, gouernour of the realme in the kings absence. ¶ In this parlement, a fifteenth was granted to the king towards the main|tenance of the warres, the one moitie to be paid at Candlemasse, and the other at Martinmasse, of such monie as at the time of the grant was currant.
