After that the king had taried at Lisle thrée daies, and had well reposed himselfe, he tooke his leaue, and thanked the emperour and the yoong prince, the la|die Margaret & all the ladies for all his high chéere and solace; and about six of the clocke at night, he de|parted out of Lisle, and the noble men brought the king foorth and so returned, and then the capteine shut the gates. When the king was a mile and more out of the towne, he asked where his campe laie? And no man there could tell the waie, and guide had they none, the night was so darke & mistie. Thus the king taried a long while,The king and his traine ig|norant of the waie to his campe by meanes of a [...]st. and wist not whither to go; at last they met with a vitteler comming from the campe, which was their guide and brought them thither. The maister of the ordinance shot diuerse peeces of ordi|nance, but they were not heard; but in safetie the king with all his companie returned.

On the one and twentith daie of September the king remooued his campe toward Tornaie, and lod|ged within thrée miles of the citie, on a corne ground by the riuer. On which night came to the king the emperour and the Palsgraue, which were lodged in rich tents, and noblie serued of all viands and things necessarie. The people about Tornaie were with their goods fled to the citie, and yet the citie had no men of warre to defend it, but with multitude of in|habitants the same was well replenished. The king commanded sir Rice and his horssemen to view one quarter, and the earle of Essex and his companie an|other quarter; and the lord Wallon and the lord Lignie the other quarters. Then the two and twen|tith daie of September, these foure capteins at one time were soone openlie with banners displaied be|fore the towne, and there made a long stale, and re|turned.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Then the king sent Gartier king of armes to sum|mon them to yeeld it ouer into his hands,Tornaie sum|moned by Gartier king of armes. to whome they made answer, that they receiued no citie of the king of England to kéepe, nor anie would they ren|der him, with which answer he departed. Then they fortified their wals, and made prouision for vittels, corne, wine, and artillerie, and for all fortifications that might be gotten. And the citie of it selfe was strong, well walled, and turrited with good bul|works and defenses. But when they saw the king with such a puissance draw néere the citie, they were sore abashed, and called a generall councell. Then the prouost said; Brethren,The prouost of Tornaies words to the distressed townesmen. you know how that the king of England sent an herald to summon vs to render vp to him this citie, or else he would put it and vs to the sword, fier, and bloud. We answered we would be at defense.
