Compare 1577 edition: 1 Others were of a contrarie mind, doubting what might happen, if the armie should be so diuided, least the Frenchmen setting on the backe of the one part of the armie, and they within the towne to sallie out in their faces, some misfortune might happen yer the other part could passe the riuer to the succour of their fellowes. Yet at length the former purpose was al|lowed as most necessarie; and therefore commande|ment was giuen to the maister of the ordinance, that in all hast he should cause fiue bridges to be made ouer the water for the armie to passe.Fiue bridges made in one night for the armie to passe ouer the riuer at Terwine. The car|penters so applied their worke that night, that the bridges were made by the next morow, and all the horssemen first passed ouer, and then the king with his whole battell, and the great ordinance followed and passed ouer to the other side of the water. This was on the sixteenth daie of August being tuesdaie.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 On the same morning the Frenchmen were com|ming with their conueie of vittels to refresh the towne, hauing appointed one part of their troops to kéepe on that side the riuer where the English armie was first incamped, and where the earle of Shrewes|burie still kept his field; that in offering the skir|mish on that side, the residue of the horssemen might with more ease and safetie put the vittels and other necessarie things into the towne on the other side. Here might a man haue séene of what force in wars sudden chance is oftentimes. Polydor. The force of sudden chance in warre. For the king thus with his battell passing the riuer, meaning to besiege the towne on euerie side, and the Frenchmen at that same instant hauing also passed the riuer with other carriages laden with vittels, purposing to reléeue the towne on that side, caused no small doubt to be conceiued of ech others meaning, on both parts, least that the one, hauing knowlege of the others purpose, had béene prepared for to hinder the same.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 And yet was it nothing so, for neither the king knew of the Frenchmens approch that daie, neither they of his passing ouer the water. Edw. Hall. Polydor. But when the king had aduertisement giuen him (by the light horssemen that were sent abroad to discouer the countrie) how the Frenchmen were at hand; he pre|pared himselfe to the battell, and first set foorth his horssemen,The king with his bat|tell of footmen. and then followed himselfe with his bat|tell of footemen. The French capteins being hereof aduised, determined not to fight without their foot|men; and therefore with all spéed sent backe their carriages, and staied with their horssemen, vntill the carriages might haue leasure to get out of danger. In the meane time the Englishmen aduanced for|ward, and their horssemen mounted vp the hill, where the French horssemen were in troope, with thirtie and three standards spred, & might sée the Eng|lishmen comming, and the kings battell marching forward with the Almans.
