Compare 1577 edition: 1 But now to conclude with this siege of Muttrell, after the king had woone Bullongne,The siege [...] Muttrell broken vp. and vnderstood how the emperor had agréed with his aduersarie the French king, he resolued to haue his armie to raise that siege which thus had lien before Muttrell, and with all cõuenient spéed to draw toward Calis. And because it was signified that the Dolphin of France Henrie was comming forward with a great pow|er, which had béene raised by his father the French king to resist the emperor, and now was sent vnder the conduct of the said Dolphin, to the succours of them that were besieged in Muttrell, the king sent the earle of Arundell, sir Iohn Gage, sir George Carew, sir Iohn Reinsford, and others, with a chosen number of lustie soldiors vnto Muttrell, to reinforce his armie there, that in leuieng the campe, and with|drawing backe, they might be the better able to with|stand anie attempt which the enimies might put in execution to their annoiance. And verelie this was doone with good aduise and necessarie consideration, for the Englishmen that had lien so long time at the siege before Muttrell, wanting such behoouefull re|freshment as those were stored with that laie before Bullongne, hauing the seas open, and all things at pleasure brought vnto them forth of England, were sore weakened and decaied by death and sicknesse, and now in raising their campe had manie things to looke vnto, as well for the conueieng of their ordi|nance, trusse, and baggage, as their feeble and disea|sed persons: so that if the Dolphin with his armie might haue made such spéed forward as to haue ouer|taken them with his maine power before they had come to Bullongne, it was to be feared least he might haue put them in danger of a plaine distresse. But with such timelie foresight as was vsed the siege was raised, and the armie retired first to Bullongne, and after to Calis without losse, although the French horssemen in great number followed, and sundrie times made proud proffers to giue the charge vpon the hindermost companies; but nothing was doone to make great account of, except certeine skirmi|shes that were procured, and alarums giuen, as in such cases it fortuneth.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The Dolphin notwithstanding that the siege was thus raised from Muttrell, yer he could come thither, yet he kept forward his iourncie,The Dol|phin commeth before Bul|longne with his great power. to prooue what he might doo to recouer Bullongne, which towne the king of England (as ye haue heard) had left in the keeping of the lord Lisle high admerall. The same towne being then weake, God knoweth, on all sides through batterie and minings, which by the kings power had béen made, to bring it into his subiection, EEBO page image 967 and the trenches not cast downe, nor the ordinance mounted.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The Dolphin being come before the towne, sent certeine bands of his best soldiors by night to giue a camisado to the base towne.A camisado [...] to base Bullongne. They that thus were sent, entred the same the ninth of October, about two of the clocke in the morning, where they tooke the stand watches, and slue (beside a great number of sicke and weake persons) as well soldiors as other, before they could araie themselues, or well get out of their beds. But after, the Frenchmen and Italians fell to rifling and breaking vp of coffers, scattering here and there abrode, and began to fall to their vit|tels, which they found there in good plentie. The Eng|lishmen that were driuen vp to the gates of the high towne, got weapons that were throwne downe vnto them foorth of the same, & assembling togither, fierce|lie entred in amongst the prease of their enimies. And herewith there sallied foorth of the high towne sir Thomas Poinings with a band of two hundred soldiors, [...]n euer|throw giuen to the French [...] Bul|longne. the which togither with the other so bestirred themselues, that they manfullie beat backe the eni|mies, slue to the number of eight hundred of them, and chased the residue out of the towne, which fled o|uer the sands vp to the hill, where the Dolphin him|selfe stood with a great troope of horssemen about him, and durst not once come downe to the rescue of his people, for feare of the great artillerie that with plentie of bullets saluted the enimies, after that the breake of the daie had once discouered them in sight. Amongst other that were slaine in this repulse of the Frenchmen, le segneur de Foquessolles, another of the marshall de Biez his sons in law, and sene|schall of Bullongne was one.
