Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 It so chanced, that the nine and fiftith daie after the siege was laid, the earle of Salisburie, sir Thomas Gargraue, and William Glasdale, with diuerse o|ther went into the said tower, and so into the high chamber, and looked out at the grate, and within a short space, the sonne of the maister-gunner, percei|uing men looking out at the window, tooke his match (as his father had taught him) who was gone downe to dinner, and fired the gun; the shot whereof brake, and shiuered the iron barres of the grate, so that one of the same bars strake the earle so violent|lie on the head, that it stroke awaie one of his eies,The earle of Salisburie slaine. and the side of his chéeke. Sir Thomas Gargraue was likewise striken, and died within two daies.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The earle was conueied to Meun on Loire, where after eight daies he likewise departed this world, whose bodie was conueied into England with all fu|nerall appointment, and buried at Bissam by his pro|genitors, leauing behind him an onelie daughter named Alice, married to Richard Neuill, sonne to Rafe earle of Westmerland, of whome more shall be said héereafter. The damage that the realme of Eng|land receiued by the losse of this noble man, mani|festlie appeared; in that immediatlie after his death, the prosperous good lucke, which had followed the English nation, began to decline, and the glorie of their victories gotten in the parties beyond the sea fell in decaie.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Though all men were sorowfull for his death, yet the duke of Bedford was most striken with heaui|nesse, as he that had lost his onelie right hand, and cheefe aid in time of necessitie. But sith that dead men cannot helpe the chances of men that be liuing, he like a prudent gouernour appointed the earle of Suf|folke to be his lieutenant and capteine of the siege, and ioined with him the lord Scales, the lord Talbot, sir Iohn Fastolfe, and diuerse other right valiant capteins. These persons caused bastilles to be made round about the citie, and left nothing vnattempted, that might aduance their purpose, which to bring to wished effect there was not anie want, as of no cau|telous policie, so of no valiant enterprise, tending to the enimies ouerthrow.
