Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 And the herald assured the earle, on the king his masters behalfe, that the same king would abide him battel at the daie prefixed. Wherof the said earle was right ioious, and much praised the honorable agrée|ment of the said roiall king, and esteemed the same to proceed of an high and honorable courage, promising the herald, that he, and good suertie with him should be bound in ten thousand pounds sterling, to kéepe the said daie appointed; so that the king would find an earle of his, and thereto a good suertie with him to be bound in like summe, for the performance of the same. And furthermore the earle bade the herald to saie vnto his maister the king; that if he for his part kept not his appointment, then he was content that the Scots should baffull him,Baffulling what it is a|mong the Scots. which is a great reproch among the Scots, and is vsed, when a man is openlie periured, and then they make of him an image pain|ted, reuersed, with his héeles vpward, with his name, woondering, crieng, and blowing out on him with hornes, in the most despitefull manner they can, in token that he is worthie to be exiled the companie of all good creatures. Then Ilaie deliuered to the earle a little schedule written with the kings secreta|ries hand vnsigned, as followeth.

The tenor of the said schedule.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 _AS to the causes alledged of our comming into England against our band and promise (as is alled|ged) thereto we answere; our bro|ther was bound as farre to vs, as we to him. And when we sware last before his ambassador, in presence of our councell; we expressed especiallie in an othe, that we would keepe to our brother, if our brother kept to vs, and not else. We sweare our brother brake first vnto vs. And since his breach we haue required diuers times him to amend; & latelie we warned our brother, as he did not vs, yer he brake. And this we take for our quarrell, and with Gods grace shall defend the same at your affixed time, which with Gods grace we shall a|bide.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 The Scotish herald is de|t [...]ined of the English.And forsomuch as the king kept Rouge Crosse with him, who was not yet returned, the same earle caused the same Ilaie to be in the kéeping of sir Humfrie Lisle and Yorke herald in the same vil|lage, vntill the time that a seruant of the same Ilaie might ride in all hast to the king of Scots, for the de|liuering of the said Rouge Crosse. Then the earle ioious of the kings answer, returned to his campe, and set forward fiue miles, to a place called Woller Haugh, in such order of battell, as euen then he should haue fought, and there lodged for that night, three little miles from the king of Scots. And be|twéene the king & him was a goodlie & large corne field called Milfield, which was a conuenient & faire ground for two hosts to fight on: there either host might perceiue other. The earles desire was to pro|cure the Scots to descend the hill into some euen ground, where he might fight with them without dis|aduantage of place.
