Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Manie other valiant and politike feats (no doubt) were atchiued during this siege, & happilie as wor|thie the rehearsall as this. But sith it was the inuen|tion of so noble a yoong gentleman,The lord Mountioie a noble yoong gentleman. I haue estéemed it not impertinent to speake thereof, and withall to lament the losse of the inuentor, who being taken a|waie shortlie after in his returne homewards, by vntimelie death, was like (if he had liued to grea|ter yéers of experience) to haue prooued comparable in valor to anie of his noble progenitors. But now to speake of other incidents that chanced whilest this siege remained before Muttrell, you must vnder|stand that the most part of the vittels that was spent in the campe was brought to them either from the kings campe at Bullogne, or else from S. Omers, to conueie the same so far off, it was néedfull to haue the carriage garded with good troops and bands both of horssemen and footmen: for the French fortresses were stronglie furnished with great numbers of men of war, which vpon occasions were readie to take aduantages offered.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 And as it fortuned at one time among other, there was a conuoie of certeine wagons loden with vitels appointed to come from saint Omers, the same be|ing garded with diuerse bands of Englishmen and Burgonions, sent thither for that purpose, the which marching forward from saint Omers, kept not so good order as had béene requisit: whereof certeine companies of French horssemen that were abroad being aware, set vpon the Burgonions that were attendant vpon the foremost carriages, and finding them in some disorder, easilie discomfited them, follo|wed, and slue them in the chase, till they came to the hindermost carriages, where six hundred English men that attended on the same, impaled themselues with their wagons, so as the Frenchmen could take no aduantage: but with shot of the English archers were so curried and galled that they were driuen to retire,The English archers gall the French horssemen. and that in such hast, as they left diuerse of their companie captiues in the Englishmens hands beside those that were faire laid to take their last sléepe there on the ground. Neuerthelesse, of the Burgonions there were slaine foure hundred, and much good vittels lost, the bottoms of the hogsheads and other vessels being beaten out, and manie a good Flemish mare killed or taken. For the Frenchmen found small resistance (as before ye haue heard) till they approched to the Englishmen, by whose accusto|med manhood, some part of the vittels of that con|uoie was saued, to the releefe of the campe, which not|withstanding by losse of the residue suffered great want for the time.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Moreouer, somewhat towards the latter end of this siege, the earle of Surreie son vnto the duke of Norffolke and marshall of his field, accompanied with the lord warden of the cinque ports, and diuerse other valiant capteins English & Burgonions mar|ched forth into the countrie towards Abuile, where they tooke and burnt a proper towne called saint Re|quiers:Saint Re|quiers burnt by the Eng|lishmen. Rieu sacked and after comming to another towne cal|led Rieu, they found no bodie at home but women and children, for the men were departed out of it be|fore their comming thither. When they had taken their pleasure in sacking all such goods as they found there fit to be carried awaie, they spared the towne from fire, and so departed. And thus after they had béene two daies and two nights abroad in the coun|trie, they returned home to the campe with a great bootie of beasts, sheepe, and other things which they had got in that voiage.
