Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 The castell of Dunglas o|uerthrowneIn the meane time the lord protector appointed the house to be ouerthrowne, which by the capteine of the pioners was doone, though with some trauell, by reason the walles were so thicke, and the foundation so déepe, and thereto set vpon so craggie a plot. Tues|daie the sixt of September, the armie dislodged and marched forward. In the waie as they should go, a mile and an halfe from Dunglas northward were two piles or holds,Thornton. Anderwike. Thornton & Anderwike, set both on craggie foundations, & diuided a stones cast a sun|der by a déepe gut, wherein ran a little riuer. Thorn|ton belonged to the lord Hume, and was kept by one Thom Trotter,Thom Trotter. who vpon summons giuen him to render the house, lockt vp a sixteene poore soules like the soldiors of Dunglas fast within the house, tooke the keies with him, commanding them to defend the place till his returne, which should be on the mor|row, wish munition and releefe: and this doone, he and his prickers prickt (as saith maister Patten) quite their waies.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 The lord of Hambleton.Anderwike perteined to the lord of Hambleton, and was kept by his son and heire, whome of custome they call the master of Hambleton, & eight more gen|tlemen for the most part, as was reported. The lord protector at his comming nigh, sent vnto both these places, which vpon summons refusing to render, were streight assailed; Thornton by batterie of foure great péeces of ordinance, and certeine of sir Peter Mewtas hackbutters, and Anderwike by a sort of the same hackbutters, who so well bestirred them, that where these keepers had rammed vp their outer doores, cloied and stopt their staires within, and kept themselues for defense of their house about the bat|tlements, the hackbutters got in,The pile of Anderwike woone. and fired them vn|derneath, whereby being greatlie troubled with smoke, they cried for mercie, which the lord protector meant to grant them; but yer the messenger came, the hackbutters were got vp to them, & killed eight of them aloft: one leapt ouer the walles, and run|ning more than a furlong, was after slaine without in a water.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 All this while at Thornton was the assault on the English part, and the defense by them within stoutlie continued: but at length when they perceiued in what danger they stood, and how little able they were to helpe themselues, or to annoie the assailants, they pluckt in a banner which they had hoong foorth, in to|ken of defiance, and put foorth a white linnen clout tied to a stickes end, crieng all with one tune for mercie: but hauing answer by the whole voices of the assailers that they were traitors, and that it was too late, they pluckt in their sticke, and set vp againe their banner of defiance, and shot off, hurled stones, & did what else they could with great courage of their side, & small hurt of the assailants. Wherefore percei|uing that they could not long kéepe out, being on the one side battered, and mined on the other, kept in with hackbutters on ech side, and some of the En|glishmen being got into the house below, for they hauing shopt vp themselues also in the highest of their house, pluckt in againe their banner, and cried eftsoones for mercie, but being answered generallie by the assailants, that they should neuer looke for it, they fell to make this petition, that if they should needs die, they might rather suffer by hanging, and so reconcile themselues to God, than to die in ma|lice with so great danger of their soules.
