On the king of Englands side, the lord Ho|ward; sir Thomas Saintleger; doctor Morton after bishop of Elie, & chancellor of England, were cheefe. For the French king, the bastard of Burbon adme|rall of France; the lord Saint Pierre; & the bishop of Eureux called Heberge, were appointed as prin|cipall. The Englishmen demanded the whole realme of France, or at the least Normandie and whole A|quitaine. The allegations were proued by the Eng|lishmen, and politikelie defended by the Frenchmen, so that with arguments, without conclusion, the day passed, and the commissioners departed, and made relation to their maisters. The French king and his councell would not consent, that the Englishmen should haue one foot of land within France; but ra|ther determined to put him selfe & the whole realme in hazard and aduenture.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 At the next méeting the commissioners agréed vp|on certeine articles, which were of both the princes accepted and allowed.

It was also couenanted, that after the whole summe aforesaid of seuentie and fiue thousand crownes were paid to king Edward, he should leaue in hostage the lord Howard, and sir Iohn Cheinie maister of his horsse, vntill he with all his armie was passed the seas. This agréement was verie acceptable to the French king; for he saw himselfe and his realme thereby deliuered of great perill that was at hand: for not onelie he should haue EEBO page image 697 béene assailed (if this peace had not taken place) both by the power of England and Burgognie, but also by the duke of Britaine, and diuerse of his owne people, as the constable and others. The king of Eng|land also vnderstanding his owne state, for want of monie, to mainteine the warres, if they should long continue (though otherwise he desired to haue at|tempted some high enterprise against the French|men) was the more easilie induced to agrée by those of his councell, that loued peace better than warre, and their wiues soft beds better than hard armor and a stonie lodging.
