Compare 1577 edition: 1 The king on this fridaie, verie erlie in the morning, aduanced his standards, and in good order of battell hauing diuided his armie into thrée wards, marched through the plaines of Cotteswold. The daie was ve|rie hot, and hauing in his armie aboue thrée thousand footmen, he trauelled with them and the residue thir|tie miles and more.
