Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The vnaduised rashnesse of sir Thomas Palmer was thought to be the chiefe occasion of this distresse of those horssemen, who after they had doone suffici|entlie for that time, would needs haue them to giue a new charge, and so were discomfited. After this o|uerthrow and chase of our horssemen, the armie that was leuied to passe into Scotland was hasted for|ward with all spéed possible: for although before the comming of the English horssemen, the French,The French|men remooue their campe. vp|on aduertisement giuen that they meant to come, had plucked backe their great artillerie, and sent the same vnto Edenburgh, kéeping onelie with them six field-péeces, and herewith remooued their campe further off from the towne: yet by forestalling vitels and all other necessarie things from them within, they were driuen to such distresse, that they must of force haue left the towne to the enimies, if some pow|er had not come within a while to remooue the siege that laie thus to annoie them.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 5 When therefore the armie was come to Newca|stell,

The earle of Shrewesbu|rie generall of the armie.

The number of soldiours is the same ar|mie.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The earle of Shrewesburie, and the lord Greie with the armie comming vnto Hadington, were ioifullie receiued of the capteins and soldiours with|in: where it might appeare how valiantlie they had defended that towne during the siege, being so desti|tute of all things necessarie for their reléefe; and the fortifications so weake, that if the noble prowesse of their woorthie generall sir Iames Wilford, and the incomparable manhood of the rest of the capteins and soldiours had not supplied all other wants, it was thought impossible that they should haue defen|ded the place so long a time against such forces as had beene there imploied against them. But such was the vndanted valiancie of that noble crue and garrison, that euen the verie enimies themselues could not but yeeld high commendations to the capteins and soldiours for the hardie forwardnesse and manhood, which at all times they had found and tried in them at all points of seruice, when they came to deale with them. And verelie their same deserueth to be had in memorie for euer, not onelie for their woorthie atchi|ued exploits, doone by force of hand, to the beating backe and repelling of the enimies, but also for their patient susteining of hunger, thirst, continuall wat|ching, nakednesse, sickenesse, and all other such ca|lamities and miseries, as want of things necessarie for the reléefe and maintenance of mans life is woont to bring, [...]x patience [...] the English+ [...] [...] all [...] of [...]. to those that are inclosed in such wise by the enimie. All which extremities they were well content to susteine, so that it might turne to the benefit and renowme of their countrie, in comparison whereof they esteemed all things else verie vile and contemp|tible, were the same neuer so good, as the poet saith:

Tantus amor patriae mortalia pectora tangit,

Natalisque soli, prae quo bona caetera sordent.
