In the entering, there met him the duke of Suffolke, and deliuered to him the keies of the towne, and so he rode foorth to his lodging that was prepared for him on the south side of the towne. Within two daies after, the king rode about the towne within the walles, and appoin|ted that our ladie church of Bullongne should bée ta|ken downe, and in the place thereof a mount to bée made, for the more strengthening of the towne.

But the king of England hauing now defraied no small quantitie of treasure in these warres, beside the trauell of his owne person and his people, and hauing the thing now in a maner sure in his possession, which he chief|lie went about to obteine, that is to wit, the strong towne of Bullongne, he would not agrée vnto anie peace, except he might inioy that towne, at that in|stant redie to be deliuered into his hands. And euen now after it was to him deliuered, hearing that for certeine, the peace was concluded betwixt the empe|rour and the French king, he determined to breake vp his camps: but neuerthelesse to kéepe Bullongne in his possession, in despite of all his aduersaries.
