Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 This worke was so well applied, and with so great diligence aduanced,Batterie made against Hume castell. that by fiue of the clocke in the next morning it was finished. The eight and twen|tith of Aprill, the marshall maister Drurie verie earlie rode about the castell, to surueie and view eue|rie thing: which doone, the great ordinance was brought to the appointed place, and bent against the castell, to wit, thrée canons, and two falcons. Héere|with also the lord lieutenant caused summons to be giuen vnto them within to yéeld. And about sea|uen of the clocke the same morning, the whole tire began to go off, and a great showt was made by the armie, to the great terrour of the defendants, and of all the countrie neere adioining. The foresaid péeces continued shooting till two of the clocke in the after|noone, discharging within that space a thrée score shots. During the time of this batterie, there was no great store of shot discharged by the great peeces within the castell, bicause their master gunner with|in, after he had first shot off a péece, and doone no hurt therewith, as he was about to shoot againe, the ma|ster gunner of the two English falcons hauing espied him, tooke his leuell so right, that discharging therewith one of the falcons,The master gunner with|in the castell hurt. he displaced the eni|mies péece, and stroke the gunners leg off, whereby their great ordinance within ceassed, which was an happie turne for the Englishmen.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 About two of the clocke they within sent foorth a trumpet vnto the lord lieutenant,The Scots sue for a re|spit of war. requiring a respit that they might talke with the marshall master Dru|rie, and to send a messenger to the lord Hume their master, to know his further pleasure: for that being put in trust by him with the kéeping of that fortresse, they could not giue it vp without his consent. And then vpon the returne of the messenger, they trusted to giue his lordship contented answer. The marshall master Drurie talked with them twise, and the lord lieutenant was contented to grant vnto William Trotter,The capteins within Hume castell. and Gilbert Greie the lord Humes wiues brother (being principall capteins appointed to the kéeping of the said castell) three houres respit: with condition, that they should not vse therein anie sub|tiltie, or for the delaieng of time: swearing by his honour, that if they so did,The lord lieutenant sweareth. he would not depart the field till he had woone it by force: and further, that there should not one of them escape with life.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 They being brought in doubt of their owne safe|ties hereby, sent one in post togither with a seruant of master Druries the marshall, to the lord Hume. And presentlie heerevpon they shewed themselues vpon the walles and rampires of the said castell: but immediatlie the lord lieutenant sent to them a com|mandement, strictlie inhibiting them, that not one of them should once on paine of death looke ouer the wals or rampires,The lord lieutenants commande|ment on pain [...] of death. to the end to view the breach of the batterie, forsomuch as in the time of parlée it was against the law of armes so to doo. But now the messenger that was thus sent to the lord Hume, com|ming to him, declared i [...] what case his house and people stood, who being (as was supposed) not so farre off, but that he might heare how lustilie the Eng|lish canons did canuasse and batter his Humish ca|stell walles, did now agrée to méet the marshall ma|ster Drurie two miles distant from the said ca|stell, and there to commune further with him in that matter.
