Compare 1577 edition: 1 The porter (which well knew the voice of his custo|mer) tooke little heed to the other two companions, and so opened the one gate, and sent another fellow of his to open the formost gate. When the chariot was on the draw-bridge betweene both the gates, the chariot-maister gaue the porter monie, and for the nonce let one peece fall on the ground: and while the porter stooped to take it vp, the wagoner with his dagger stroke him in at his throat, so that he cried for no helpe, and the two great lubbers slue the other porters, and with their axes cut the axeltrée of the wagon, so that the draw-bridge could not be shortlie drawen vp. This doone they made a signe to capteine Floquet, which with all spéed entered the towne, slue and tooke all the Englishmen: and amongst other, the lord Fauconbridge capteine of the said towne was taken prisoner. The losse of this place was of no small importance, being the verie keie and passage ouer the riuer of Seine, from France into Nor|mandie, being distant from Rone onelie foure lea|gues.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 When request was made to haue it restored a|gaine to the Englishmen, answer was made, that if they restord, to the duke of Britaine, the towne of Fougieres with condigne amends for the dama|ges doone there, the towne of Pont Larch should then be againe deliuered, or else not.

Also the towne, castell, and great tower of Uerneueill in Perch were rendered into the French kings hands, after twentie daies of respit granted, to sée if rescues would haue come. The French writers affirme the towne to be taken by assault.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Thus was the warre renewed before the terme of truce fullie expired,The warres renewed befor the end of the truce. & the English capteins brought to their wits end, what with appeasing dailie rumors within the townes; and what with studie how to re|couer castels lost and taken: for while they studied how to kéepe and defend one place, foure or fiue other turned to the French part. The chiefe cause of which reuolting was, for that it was blowen abroad tho|rough France, how the realme of England, after the death of the duke of Glocester by the seuerall facti|ons of princes was diuided in two parts; and that William de la Poole latelie created duke of Suf|folke, and diuerse other, which were the occasion of the said duke of Glocesters death, vexed and oppressed the poore people, so that mens minds were not intentiue to outward affaires: but all their studie giuen to keepe off wrongs offered at home.
