Compare 1577 edition: 1 The capteine of Bullongne kept six hundred men for a stale at the bridge, & sent the other into the ma|rishes and medows to fetch awaie the beasts and cat|tell which they should find there. This was doone, and some of them came so néere the walles of Calis, that they were escried. And about a six score coupers, ba|kers, shipmen & other which laie without the towne, hearing the alarme, got togither, & setting on those Frenchmen which were aduanced so néere the towne, slue them downe that abode,Watchmen found sléeping serued iustlie. chased them that fled euen into Newnam bridge, and recouered the same, and put backe their enimies. About fiue of the clocke in the morning, the gate of Calis called Bullongne gate was opened, and then by permission of the deputie, one Culpeper the vnder-marshall with two hundred archers vnder a banner of saint George issued foorth.Culpeper vn|der-marshall of Calis.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 All these in great hast came to Newnam bridge, where they found the other Englishmen that had woone the bridge of the Frenchmen, and so altogi|ther set forward to assaile the Frenchmen that kept the stale, and taried till the residue of their companie which were gone a forraging vnto Calis walles were come: for the other that had spoiled the mari|shes were returned with a great bootie. At the first, when the Frenchmen saw the Englishmen approch, they thought they had bene their owne fellowes. But when they saw the banner of saint George, they per|ceiued how the matter went, & so determined to de|fend themselues against their enimies; but the Eng|lishmen set so fiercelie on, that finallie the French|men were discomfited, and foure and twentie of them slaine, beside twelue score that were taken prisoners, and all the ordinance and bootie againe recouered.

These prisoners were brought to Calis, & there sold in open market. [Among all other, Abr. Fl. ex Ed. Hall in H. 8. fol. xxviij. a couper of the towne of Calis bought a prisoner of this bootie that dwelt in Bullongne, and had of the prisoner an hun|dred crowns for his ransome. When the monie was paied, the Frenchman praied the couper to sée him safe deliuered, and to conduct him out of danger.The follie of a couper. The couper gentlie granted, and without anie know|ledge of his friends, all alone went with the French|man till he came beyond the causeie, & there would haue departed: but the Frenchman perceiuing that the couper was aged, and that no reskue was nie, by force tooke the couper prisoner, and caried him to Bullongne, & made him paie two hundred crowns for his ransome: thus through follie was the poore cou|per deceiued. Wherefore it is wisedome for a man to hold fast his possession, and to supplie his want of strength by subtiltie; imitating therein the fox, which although in force he be inferior to the lion, as not able to beare the yerking of his taile, or a pelt of his paw; yet in craft he goeth beyond that boisterous beast, and so escapeth danger, which otherwise he might susteine.]
