Compare 1577 edition: 1 There was appointed to attend the king vnto Lis|lie the duke of Buckingham, the lord marquesse Dorset, the earle of Essex, and the lord Lisle, with di|uerse other; the charge of his campe he committed for the time to his councell. Then mounted the king vpon a courser, his apparrell & bard were cloth of sil|uer of small quadrant cuts trauersed and edged with cut cloth of gold, and the border set full of red roses,Sir Henrie Guilford [...] of y^e kings horsse his armour fresh & set full of iewels. The maister of his horsse sir Henrie Guilford, and the henchmen EEBO page image 823 followed (as you haue heard before) and the coursers richlie apparelled, and so were manie capteins that waited on the king: by the waie met the king the lord Rauesten with manie noble men. And a mile without the towne there met with him the burges|ses of Lisle, and presented to him the keies of the towne, saieng, that the emperor their souereigne lord had so commanded them to doo.

The king praised their obedience to their soue|reigne, and thanked the emperour and them for so high a present as the keies of such a towne. Neuer|thelesse, he had such confidence in them, that he trust|ed them no lesse than his owne subiects, and so deli|uered the keies to the prouost of the towne, which was well accompanied. Then met the king a great number of nobles of Flanders, Brabant, Holland, and Henaud,The Pals|graue of [...] & his traine come to [...] the K. of England. which noblie receiued him. After them came the countie Palatine or Palsgraue, one of the electors of the empire, with thirtie horsses, all his men gorgiouslie apparelled after the fashion of his countrie, and humblie saluted the king. At the gate of Lisle the capiteine of the towne stood with a gar|rison in armor well appointed, all the stréets were set on both sides with burning torches and diuerse good|lie pageants pleasant to behold. Thus he passed tho|rough the towne with his sword and maces borne be|fore him, and alighted at the hall doore with his sword borne, where met with him the emperour, the prince of Castile, and the ladie Margaret, and humblie salu|ted him.

Then for reuerence of the emperour, the king caused his sword to be put vp, and his maces to be laid downe; & so was the king and all other nobles lodged and feasted according to their degrées. In the towne of Lisle was a noise that thrée gunners with handguns should haue slaine the king:A false rumor of the kings [...]. for which ru|mor manie were attached, but nothing prooued. But when these tidings came to the campe, they were ne|uer merrie till they saw the king againe. Great was the cheere, with bankets, plaies, comedies, maskes, and other pastimes that were shewed to the king in the court of Burgognie, and so in solace he soiorned there sundaie and mondaie the nineteenth daie of September. On the twentith daie he sent word that his armie [...] remooue toward Tornaie, and so they remooued to a place conuenient betwéene Tor|naie and Lisle, and certeine capiteins were appoin|ted to kéepe the passage at the bridge of Auandien.
