King Henrie, after he heard of the irrecouer|able losse of his armie, departed incontinentlie with his wife and sonne to the towne of Berwike, and lea|uing the duke of Summerset there, went into Scot|land, and comming to the king of Scots, required of him and his councell, aid, and comfort.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 The yoong king of Scots, lamenting the misera|ble state of king Henrie, comforted him with faire words and friendlie promises, and assigned to him a competent pension to liue on, during his abode in Scotland.

He faithfullie supported the part of king Henrie, and concluded a mariage betwixt his sister, and the yoong prince of Wales, but the same was neuer con|summate, as after ye shall heare.
