Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 The earle of Surrie being thus lodged, the wa|ter of Till ran betwixt the two campes of Scots and Englishmen, diuiding them in sunder: and still by reason the one was within the shot of a culuering of the other, they ceassed not to bestow shot and pon|der either at other, though without dooing anie great hurt at all. For the English campe on that part which laie toward the Scots, was couered with an hill rising from the hither banke of Till water, with an easie steepenesse to the height of a miles space or thereabouts. Thomas lord Howard sonne and heire to the earle of Surrie,The lord Ho|ward taketh view of the Scotish ar|mie. from the top of this hill beholding all the countrie on euerie side about him, declared to his father, that if he did eftsoons remooue his campe, and passe the water of Till againe in some place a little aboue, and by fetching a small com|passe come & shew himselfe on the backe halfe of his enimies, the Scotish king should either be inforced to come downe foorth of his strength and giue battell, or else be stopped from receiuing vittels or anie other thing out of Scotland.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The earle of Surrie desirous of nothing so much as to ioine with the Scots in battell;The earle of Surrie retur|neth againe ouer the wa|ter of Till. after he vnder|stood that his sonne had informed him nothing but truth, he raised his field: and marching a thrée miles vpward by the riuer side, passed ouer his armie in two parts at two seuerall bridges, all at one time. King Iames when he saw this manner of his eni|mies, and perceiuing what their meaning was, by coniecture of their dooings, thought it stood not with his honor to sit still, and suffer himselfe to be forestal|led foorth of his owne realme: and againe, that it might sore diminish the opinion of his princelie pow|er, if he seemed to remaine as it were besieged with|in a fortresse, hauing more confidence in strength of the place, than in the manhood of his people: where|vpon immediatlie he raised his campe, and got an hill, which he doubted least the enimie should haue ta|ken before him.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 But by such diligence as he vsed, and by reason of the great smoke which was raised and spred ouer all the countrie, by burning of the litter and cabbins wherein the Scots had lodged, purposelie set on fire to the same intent, he was got to the place whither he intended, before the Englishmen knew for anie cer|teintie that he was dislodged, though they were as then within a mile of him. Thus king Iames kéep|ing the tops of the hils, the earle of Surrie with the English armie came to the foot of the same hils, and staieng there a while, for so much as he saw how the EEBO page image 828 hill to the which the Scots were gotten, was neither steepe nor hard to ascend,The valiant determination of the earle to incounter the Scots. he determined to mount the same, and to fight with the Scotish hoast yer they should haue leasure to fortifie their campe.
