Compare 1577 edition: 1 The Scotish horssemen perceiuing our horsse|men to haue passed on before, and thinking (as the truth was) that some capteine of honor did staie for the looking to the order of this rere-ward,A subtile pra|ctise of the Scots. they kéep|ing the south side of the riuer, did call ouer to some of the armie, to know whether there were anie noble man nigh there? They were asked whie they asked? One of them answered, that he was such a one whose name the Englishmen knew to be honorable a|mong the Scots, and would come in to the dukes grace, so that he might be sure to come in safetie. Some yoong soldiors nothing suspecting the craftie falshood of the Scots, told him that the earle of Warwike was nigh there, by whose tuition he should be safelie brought to my lord protectors pre|sence. They had cand their lesson & fell to their prac|tise, which was this. Hauing come ouer the water, in the waie as the earle should passe, they had cowched about two hundred of their prickers, and had sent fortie beside to search where my lord was, whome when they had found, part of them prickt verie nigh, whome ten or twelue of the earles small companie did boldlie incounter, and droue them well-nigh home to their ambush, fléeing perchance not so much for feare as for falshood, to bring them within their danger. But hereby informed that the earle was so nigh, they sent out a bigger number, and kept the rest more secret vpon this purpose, that they might either by a plaine onset distresse him, or else by fain|ing of flight to haue trained him within danger of their ambush. And thus instructed, they came prick|ing toward his lordship apase. Whie (quoth he) & will not these knaues be ruled?The manlie courage of the earle of War|wike. Dandie Car. Giue me my staffe. The which then with so valiant a courage he charged at one (as it was thought) Dandie Car, a capteine a|mong them, that he did not onelie compell Car to turne, and himselfe chased him aboue twelue score togither, all the waie at the speares point, so that if Cars horsse had not beene excéeding good and wight, his lordship had surelie run him through in this race, but also with his little band caused all the rest to flee amaine. After whome as Henrie Uane, a gentle|man of the said earles,Henrie Uane. and one of his companie did fiercelie pursue foure or fiue Scots, suddenlie turned, and set vpon him, and though they did not altogither escape his hands free, yet by hewing and mangling his head, bodie, and manie places else, they did so crueltie intreat him, as if rescue had not come the sooner, they had slaine him outright. Here was Barteuill run at sideling,Barteuill hurt. and hurt in the but|tocke, and one of the Englishmen slaine: of Scots againe none slaine, but thrée taken prisoners, wherof one was Richard Maxwell, and hurt in the thigh;Richard Maxwell taken, who had béene long in England not long before, and had receiued right manie benefits, both of the late kings liberalitie, and of the earle of Warwike, and of manie other nobles and gentlemen in the court beside.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 But to conclude, if the earle of Warwike had not thus valiantlie incountred them, yer they could haue warned their ambush how weaklie he was garded, he had béene beset round about by them yer he could haue bin aware of them, or rescued of other. Whereas hereby his lordship vndoubtedlie shewed his woonted valor, saued his companie, and disc [...]m|fited the enimie. As Barteuill the Frenchman that daie had right honestlie serued, so did the lords right honorablie acquite it: for the earle of Warwike did get him a surgion, and dressed he was, streight after laid and conueied in the lord protectors owne chariot. The rest that were hurt were here also drest, Scots and others.

The next morning being thursdaie the eight of September, in time of the dislodging of the English campe, signe was made to some of the ships (whereof the most part and chiefest laie a ten or twelue miles in the Forth, be|yond vs, ouer against Lieth & Edenborough) that the lord admerall should come a shore, to speake with the lord protector. In the meane time, somewhat earlie as our gallie was comming toward vs, about a mile and more beyond our campe, the Scots were verie busie, wasting here on shore toward them with a banner of saint George that they had, so to traine them to come on land there: but the earle of War|wike soone disappointed the policie, for making to|ward that place where the lord admerall should come on shore, the Englishmen on the water by the sight of his presence, did soone discerne their friends from their foes.
