The trumpetter receiuing answer, accordinglie departed,Hostages re|quired on the dukes part from the lord Greie during the time of the parlée, &c. & without long abode retur|ned againe, requiring in the dukes behalfe hostages for a truce during the parlee from vs, he minding to deliuer the like into the castell. From him in fine monsieur Des [...]rees, and a gentleman of the kings chamber were sent in: and maister Arthur Greie my lords sonne, and maister Lewes Diue, were put out. Monsieur Dandelot in the braies receiued them, and caried them ouer the vnfortunate bul|worke, being come vpon naked and new slaine car|cases, some of them spralling yet and groning vn|der their feet, were onelie the earth they trod on. So passing downe the breach somewhat to the ease of the former heauie sight, they saw it, and the ditch little lesse fraught with the enimies corpses. Then to the campe they came, and were lodged in the said Dan|delots tent.

Monsieur De|strées not being yet come foorth, my lord was no soo|ner entered againe, but that the souldiers eftsoones forsaking the walles, willinglie & to the present cut|ting of all their owne throtes (if monsieur Destrées himselfe had not béene, with a few capteins & gentle|men of the lord Greies owne retinue) came and met him, crieng vpon him to haue pitie vpon them. The lord Greie herewith staied, and pausing a while, had this speach.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The onelie pitie (if fond I cannot saie) that I haue of you,The lord [...] words [...] his soldiers being ashamed [...] their time| [...]nesse, and [...]pitieng [...] present [...]. hath caused me this daie to make such offers of composition, as neither your honesties, nor my honour, nor either of our duties in my thought maie well beare, which refused to take harder to the vtter defacing of our credits, sith the best would blot it.

If I would, souldiers, your selues (me thinketh) in vengeance thereof should turne your weapons vp|on me, and sacrifice so hartlesse a capteine, rather than to take it as a token of a pitifull capteine ouer you, and to yéeld thanks for the same. We haue be|gun, as becommed vs: we haue yet held on as dutie dooth bind vs: let vs end then as honest dutie and fame dooth will vs. Neither is there anie such extre|mitie of despaire in our case, but that we maie yet dearelie inough sell our skins yer we lose them. Let vs then either march out vnder our ensignes dis|plaied, or else herewith die vnder them displaied.
