Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 The French king had furnished all his townes and fortresses in Picardie with strong garrisons of souldiers, to defend the same against all chances that might happen either by siege or sudden assault. The Englishmen therefore thought not good to linger a|bout the winning of anie of the strong townes, but passed by them, wasting or ransoming the countries. At Arras they shewed themselues before the barri|ers,The suburbs of Arras burnt. and when none would issue to skirmish with them, they set fier on the suburbs, & departed. From thence they tooke the waie by Baupalmes, and so came into Uermendois,The towne of Roy burnt. and burnt the towne of Roy. Then went they to Han in Uermendois, in|to the which all the people of the countrie were with|drawne, with such goods as they might carie with them.The French mẽ withdraw into their for| [...]esses & strõg townes. And in like manner had those doone which in|habited about S. Quintine, Peronne, and other strong townes, so that the Englishmen found little abroad, sauing the barnes full of corne for it was after haruest.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Thus they rode faire and easilie, two or thrée leages a daie, and sometime to recouer monie of their eni|mies, they would compound with them within strong townes, to spare the countrie from burning and destruction, for such a summe as they agréed vp|on, by which meanes sir Robert Knolles got in that voiage aboue the summe of an hundred thousand frankes. For the which he was after accused to the king of England, as one that had not dealt iustlie in so dooing. In this sort passing the countrie, they came before Noion, and after they had rested a while afore the towne, they went foorth wasting and burning the countrie, and finallie passed the riuer of Marne, and so entered into Champaigne, and passed the riuer of Aube, and also diuerse times they passed to and fro ouer the riuer of Saine:The English|men before Paris. at length drawing toward Paris, and comming before that citie, they lodged there in the field a day and two nights, and shewed themselues in order of battell before the citie. This was on the twentie fourth daie of September.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The French king was at the same time within the citie, & might behold out of his lodging of S. Paule, the fiers and smokes that were made in Gastenois, through burning the townes and villages there by the Englishmen, but yet he would suffer none of his people to go foorth of the citie, although there was a great power of men of warre within the citie, both of such as had coasted the English armie in all this iournie, and also of other which were come thither by the kings commandement, beside the burgesses, and inhabitants of the citie. When sir Robert Knolles perceiued that he should haue no battell, he departed and drew toward Aniou, where they wan by strength the townes of Uaas and Ruellie. But now in the beginning of winter, there fell such discord amongst the English capteins, through couetousnesse and en|uie, that finallie they diuided themselues in sunder, greatlie to the displeasure of sir Robert Knolles their generall, who could not rule them.
