Albons, meant to passe through the towne, and so to coape with their enimies; but finding a sort of archers ran|ged néere to the great crosse in the market place, to defend their passage, they were receiued with such a storme of arrowes, which came flieng about their eares as thicke as haile, that they were quicklie re|pell [...]d backe, and with losse driuen to retire in hast vnto the west end of the towne; where, by a lane that leadeth northwards vp to saint Peters stréet, they made their entrie, and had there also a sharpe in|counter against certeine bands of the kings people. But after great slaughter on both parts, they got throughThey passe through it. and vpon the heath that lieth at the north end of the towne, called Barnard heath, they had a farre greater conflict with foure or fiue thousand of the kings armie, that séemed as they had beene auant courrers.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 These gaue the onset so fiercelie at the beginning, that the victorie rested doubtfull a certeine time,The second battell at S. Albons. so that if the easterne and southerne men had conti|nued as they began, the field had beene theirs; but af|ter they had stood to it a pretie while, and perceiued none of their fellowes from the great armie to come and assist them, they began to faint, and turning their backes, fled amaine ouer hedge and ditch,The [...] part [...] through thicke and thin, woods and bushes, séeking so to escape the hands of their cruell enimies that followed them with eger minds, to make slaughter vpon them, namelie, the northern prickers, now in the chace pur|sued most hotlie, and bare downe manie, and more had doone, if the night comming vpon, had not staied them.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 When the daie was closed, those that were about the king (in number a twentie thousand) hearing how euill their fellowes had sped, began vtterlie to despaire of the victorie, and so fell without anie long tarriance to running awaie. By reason whereof, the nobles that were about the king, perceiuing how the game went, and withall saw no comfort in the king, but rather a good will and affection towards the con|trarie part, they withdrew also, leauing the king ac|companied with the lord Bonneuille, & sir Thomas Kiriell of Kent; which vpon assurance of the kings promise, tarried still with him, and fled not. But their trust deceiued them, for at the queenes departing from saint Albons, they were both beheaded; though contrarie to the mind and promise of hir husband. Sir Thomas Thorp, baron of the escheker, was also beheaded the same daie, at Highgate, by the com|mons of Kent.
