Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 The lord of Hambleton.Anderwike perteined to the lord of Hambleton, and was kept by his son and heire, whome of custome they call the master of Hambleton, & eight more gen|tlemen for the most part, as was reported. The lord protector at his comming nigh, sent vnto both these places, which vpon summons refusing to render, were streight assailed; Thornton by batterie of foure great péeces of ordinance, and certeine of sir Peter Mewtas hackbutters, and Anderwike by a sort of the same hackbutters, who so well bestirred them, that where these keepers had rammed vp their outer doores, cloied and stopt their staires within, and kept themselues for defense of their house about the bat|tlements, the hackbutters got in,The pile of Anderwike woone. and fired them vn|derneath, whereby being greatlie troubled with smoke, they cried for mercie, which the lord protector meant to grant them; but yer the messenger came, the hackbutters were got vp to them, & killed eight of them aloft: one leapt ouer the walles, and run|ning more than a furlong, was after slaine without in a water.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 All this while at Thornton was the assault on the English part, and the defense by them within stoutlie continued: but at length when they perceiued in what danger they stood, and how little able they were to helpe themselues, or to annoie the assailants, they pluckt in a banner which they had hoong foorth, in to|ken of defiance, and put foorth a white linnen clout tied to a stickes end, crieng all with one tune for mercie: but hauing answer by the whole voices of the assailers that they were traitors, and that it was too late, they pluckt in their sticke, and set vp againe their banner of defiance, and shot off, hurled stones, & did what else they could with great courage of their side, & small hurt of the assailants. Wherefore percei|uing that they could not long kéepe out, being on the one side battered, and mined on the other, kept in with hackbutters on ech side, and some of the En|glishmen being got into the house below, for they hauing shopt vp themselues also in the highest of their house, pluckt in againe their banner, and cried eftsoones for mercie, but being answered generallie by the assailants, that they should neuer looke for it, they fell to make this petition, that if they should needs die, they might rather suffer by hanging, and so reconcile themselues to God, than to die in ma|lice with so great danger of their soules.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 This sute was so furthered to the dukes grace by sir Miles Partrige that was néere at hand when they made this sute, that it was granted;Sir Miles Partrige. and they com|ming foorth, humbled themselues,Thornton yéelded. and without more hurt they were but commanded to the prouost mar|shall, who kept them for a time, and were after relea|sed. The house was shortlie after so blowen with pouder,The piles of Thornton and others defaced. that more than the one halfe of it fell streight downe to dust and rubbish, the rest stood all to shaken with rifts and chinks. Anderwike also was burned, and all the houses of office, and stacks of corne about them both. While this was in doing the dukes grace, in turning but about, saw the fall of Dunglas, which likewise was vndermined and blowen vp with pou|der.
