Which thing when sir Edward Stanleie perceiued, foorthwith bringing about thrée bands which he had kept in store for such like purpose; he in|uaded the open sides of his enimies by a fresh onset, and put them in such disorder, that they were not able anie longer to abide the violence of the Englishmen mightilie preassing vpon them: so that taking them|selues to flight, and running headlong downe the stiepe descent of the mounteine,The left wing of the Scots is dis|comfited. they escaped to the woods and there saued themselues. But the earles of Argile and Lenox, dooing what they could to staie their people from running awaie, were slaine in the same place.
