Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Then departed he with his letters into Flan|ders,An hundred angels to a Scotish he|rald for a re|ward. there to take ship to saile into Scotland, but yer he could haue a vessell and wind for his purpose, his maister was slaine, as after ye shall heare. In this meane while the Frenchmen being assembled and lodged in campe at Blangie on this side Amiens, the French king appointed that all the horssmen to the number of eight thousand (as Paulus Iouius recor|deth) should go with vittels vnto Terwine,Fourtéene hundred men of armes hath Monsieur de Langeie. and put the same into the towne, if by anie meanes they might, for that those within stood as then in great necessitie for want of vittels.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Monsieur de Piennes ap|pointed by the French king to vittell Terwine.The charge of this conueie was committed vn|to Monsieur de Piennes, because he was lieutenant of those marches: notwithstanding there were a|mongst the number, other noble men of more high degrée in honor, and also of great prowesse, fame, and experience, furnished with sundrie bands of men at armes of long approoued valiancie, and vsed to go a|waie with victorie in manie a dangerous conflict and battell, wanting at this present nothing but their old accustomed good fortune. Whilest the Frenchmen were thus prepared to come with vittels to Ter|wine,The emperor Maximilian weareth a crosse of saint George as souldier to the king of Eng|land. the emperour Maximilian came from Aire to the kings campe before Terwine the twelfe of Au|gust, wearing a crosse of saint George as the kings souldier, & receiuing of him salarie for seruice; which Anglorum praelia noteth as noteworthie, saieng:

Subrege Anglorum magnus meret induperator.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The emperour was honourablie receiued, and lod|ged in a rich tent of cloth of gold prepared for him, according as was conuenient for his estate. He ta|ried vntill sundaie being the foureteenth of August, and then returned to Aire: and on the morrow after came againe being mondaie the fiftéenth of August, on which daie there chanced a great fraie betwixt the Almans of the kings campe,A Fraie be|weene the Almans of the kings campe, and the Englishmen [...] appeased [...] the discre| [...] of the [...]. and the Englishmen, insomuch that manie were slaine. The Almans ran to the kings ordinance and tooke it, and imbattelled themselues, and bent the ordinance against the king and his campe. The English prepared their bowes, and the Almans made redie their pikes: but the cap|teins tooke such paines in the matter, that the fraie was appeased.
