There was also sore hurt at the same assault, one other Spanish capteine, with diuerse others, whom for the auoiding of tediousnesse I let passe. At night the lord Greie came to the bul|worke, and hauing rendred thanks to God for that daies good successe,The lord Greie com|mendeth his souldiours. did greatlie commend them all for their manfull defense and valiant behauiour, ex|horting them to continue therein, as the onelie thing wherein their safetie and good name did rest. The bat|terie (as before is told) hauing laid the bulworks o|pen, they within were inforced for winning of a new vaumure, to intrench within the bulworke six foot déepe, and nine in thicknesse, which maruellouslie did strengthen the péece, the same being of no great largenesse before. By the next daie being tuesdaie, they had planted two batteries more; the one in the market place of the towne, to beate a curteine of the bodie of the castell, of six canons; the other vpon the rampire of the towne of thrée péeces, to beat the Cat and a flanker of the Barbican, which two garded one side of the Marie bulworke.

And besides the enimie continuallie interteined the breath, with eight or nine tires the houre.

And thus after an houres plaie with the harquebush onelie, and a light offer or two of approach, this people retired them, and gaue the canon place againe, which by night had driuen them within anew to become moldwarps, and to intrench themselues with all speed possible.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The morrow being wednesdaie, by the péepe of daie, all the batteries began, and without intermissi|on held on till one of the clocke in the afternoone, and especiallie that in the market place so preuailed, as hauing cleane ruined the old wall, did driue through the rampire, and a new countermure of earth raised vpon the same, where the lord Greie himselfe sitting vpon a forme,The danger which my lord [...] escaped [...] vpon a [...] with [...] gentlemen. with sir Henrie Palmer, and master Lewes Diue his lordships cousin and deputie, made a faire escape, the forme being stricken asunder vn|der them, without anie further harme to anie of them: though sundrie other that daie and the next following lost their liues on the same curteine by the foresaid battrie, which full in flanke did beat it, where|in yet was his lordships onelie abode as his chéefest place, to view and regard the behauiour and néed of all the other lims, from which also a quoit might be throwne into Marie bulworke. The enimies canon (as is said) hauing plaid thus all the morning, and well searched (as they thought) euerie corner that flankers might lurke in, about the foresaid houre of one of the clocke, the Englishmen might descrie the trench before the breach to be stuffed with ensignes. The L. Greie streight expecting that which followed, gaue word incontinentlie to euerie place to stand on their gard, incouraging euerie man to continue in their well begun endeuor. A tower that was called Webs tower, and yet standing, which flanked one side of the beaten bulworke, he stuffed with twentie of the best shot with curriers. These things no sooner thus ordered, but that eight or nine ensignes of Swisses,The Swisses [...] Gascoigns [...] the [...]. and thrée of Gascoigns, did present them|selues vpon the counterscarfe; and without staie the Gascoignes slue into the ditch, run vp the breach, whome they within receiue with harquebush shot, but they requite the Englishmen againe with two for one.

Then the Swisse with a statelie leasure steppeth into the dich, and close togi|ther marcheth vp the breach, the fight increaseth, wax|eth verie hot, & the breach all couered with the eni|mies. The small shot in Webs tower began now their parts,The manhood [...] the Spani| [...]ds against the French. no bullet that went in vaine. On the other side againe 20 of the Spaniards on the inside of the braies had laid themselues close till the heat of the assault: and then shewing themselues, did no lesse gall the enimies than the tower. Thus was it no lustilier assailed than brauelie defended. At last after an houres fight and more, the gouernors with|out finding the great slaughter that theirs went to, and small auaile, and perceiuing the two little case|mates of the tower and braies to be the cheefest an|noiances, did cause a retire to be sounded: and with|all three or foure of the canons in the market place, to be turned vpon Webs tower, the which at two tires brought cleane downe the same vpon the soldi|ors heads, wherein two or thrée were slaine outright, others hurt to death, and who escaped best, so maimed or brused, as they were no more able to serue.
