After this, maister Samson went awaie to E|manuell, a man skilfull in the Hebrue. Maister Grindall went into the countrie to learne the Dutch toong. Doctor Sands still remained in Strasbo|rough, whose sustentation then was chieflie from one maister Isaac, who loued him most dearelie, and was euer more readie to giue than he to take. He gaue him in that space aboue one hundred marks, which sum the said doctor Sands paied him againe, and by his other gifts and friendlinesse shewed him|selfe to be a thankfull man. When his wife was dead, he went to Zurike, and there was in Peter Martyrs house for the space of fiue wéekes.Happie news of queen Ma|ries death: wherevpon doctor Sands returneth into England. Being there as they sate at dinner, word suddenlie came that quéene Marie was dead, and doctor Sands was sent for by his friends at Strasborough. That news made maister Martyr and master Iarret then there verie ioyfull: but doctor Sands could not reioise, it smote into his hart that he should be called to mi|serie. Maister Bullinger and the ministers feasted him, and he tooke his leaue and returned into Stras|borough, where he preached, and so maister Grin|dall and he came towards England, and then to London the same daie that queene Elizabeth was crowned.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 This is the true storie of such accidents as befell doctor Sands, a reuerend father, and constant in the truth; whereof if anie part had béene false, likelie it is that one or other would haue barked against it yer now. But the report being common, and hauing béene thus long extant in print, the silence of men is a sufficient proofe & confirmation of the truth.] Here therfore we will leaue doctor Sands in his archiepis|copall sée of Yorke; and after this long (but yet néed|full) digression fall againe to the discourse of Calis; which being lost (as you haue heard) in a verie short time after so long possession, tidings thereof were carried to and fro, farre and néere, by word of mouth and by writing. In so much that the same news like|wise being made notorious and knowne to the French were not so ioyfullie receiued in France, as they were generallie grieuous and displeasant to the whole relme of England: but speciallie to quéene Marie, who being a princesse of hart and courage, more than commonlie is in womankind,With what indignation quéene Ma|rie tooke the losse of Calis. thought hir selfe so much touched in honour by the losse of hir said towne and possessions on that side the sea, as she counted hir life irkesome, vntill the same were ei|ther recouered againe, or the losse redoubled with some like victorie against the French elsewhere.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 In respect whereof she ceased not to trauell after with king Philip hir husband, as with hir owne pri|uie councell, and the lords of the realme, which waie should be best to reuenge this iniurie: and speciallie now whilest the French king was occupied in wars with king Philip, to indamage some of his countries by waie of inuasion, & to surprise some of his townes vpon the sudden. And among sundrie deuises,Force inten|ded against Brest in Bri|taine. none was thought so fit to be attempted as an hauen towne in Britaine called Brest, which in the time of king Richard the second was kept and mainteined with an English garrison, vntill the said king ren|dered the same to the French king againe by compo|sition. This towne as well for the conuenient situa|tion alwaies readie to receiue fresh succors and vit|telling out of England by sea, as also for that it was knowne to the quéene and hir councell at that pre|sent, not to be furnished with anie garrison of sol|diors, sufficient to repell the power of a prince vp|on the sudden, was thought to be the best marke to be shot at for the time. Wherefore vpon this case well debated, there was immediatlie order giuen to Ed|ward lord Clinton then high admerall of England,The lord Clinton ad|merall of En|gland sent [...] against [...] with all expedition to prepare himselfe with all the quéenes ships of warre, furnished with soldiors, mu|nition & vittels, to ioine with the admerall of king Philip, who had like order from the said king to ioine with the nauie of England for the atchiuing of this enterprise.
