The Scotish prickers shewed themselues in the field with proffer of skirmish, but to no great purpose, one of them be|ing killed with a shot of one of Barteuils men an hackbutter on horssebacke. The armie hauing mar|ched that daie a ten miles, lodged at night néere vnto Tantallon, and had a blind alarum.Tantallon. Marching the next morning a two miles, they came to a riuer cal|led Lin, where there is a stone bridge,Linton bridge. named Lin|ton bridge of a towne thereby on the right hand as the armie marched, and standing eastward vpon the same riuer: the horssemen and carriages passed tho|rough the water, for it was not verie deepe, and the footmen ouer the bridge. The passage was streict for an armie, and therfore the longer in setting ouer.

Out of this castell as the lord protector passed forward in following the fore-ward, there were roundlie shot off (but without hurt) six or seuen péeces, the which before that (though some of the armie had beene verie nigh) yet kept they all couert. In the meane time rose a thicke mist, which caused a great disorder in the rere-ward, by reason they could not sée about them. The earle of Warwike therefore doubting least the enimies, who had béen pricking vp and downe néere to the armie, and offered skirmish the same morning, should now by occasion of the mist attempt some feat to the an|noiance of the Englishmen in their passage, his lordship himselfe scant with sixtéene horsses (whereof Barteuill, and Iohn de Ribaud Frenchmen were two, seuen or eight light horssemen more, and the rest being his owne seruants) returned toward the pas|sage to sée the arraie againe.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The Scotish horssemen perceiuing our horsse|men to haue passed on before, and thinking (as the truth was) that some capteine of honor did staie for the looking to the order of this rere-ward,A subtile pra|ctise of the Scots. they kéep|ing the south side of the riuer, did call ouer to some of the armie, to know whether there were anie noble man nigh there? They were asked whie they asked? One of them answered, that he was such a one whose name the Englishmen knew to be honorable a|mong the Scots, and would come in to the dukes grace, so that he might be sure to come in safetie. Some yoong soldiors nothing suspecting the craftie falshood of the Scots, told him that the earle of Warwike was nigh there, by whose tuition he should be safelie brought to my lord protectors pre|sence. They had cand their lesson & fell to their prac|tise, which was this. Hauing come ouer the water, in the waie as the earle should passe, they had cowched about two hundred of their prickers, and had sent fortie beside to search where my lord was, whome when they had found, part of them prickt verie nigh, whome ten or twelue of the earles small companie did boldlie incounter, and droue them well-nigh home to their ambush, fléeing perchance not so much for feare as for falshood, to bring them within their danger. But hereby informed that the earle was so nigh, they sent out a bigger number, and kept the rest more secret vpon this purpose, that they might either by a plaine onset distresse him, or else by fain|ing of flight to haue trained him within danger of their ambush. And thus instructed, they came prick|ing toward his lordship apase. Whie (quoth he) & will not these knaues be ruled?The manlie courage of the earle of War|wike. Dandie Car. Giue me my staffe. The which then with so valiant a courage he charged at one (as it was thought) Dandie Car, a capteine a|mong them, that he did not onelie compell Car to turne, and himselfe chased him aboue twelue score togither, all the waie at the speares point, so that if Cars horsse had not beene excéeding good and wight, his lordship had surelie run him through in this race, but also with his little band caused all the rest to flee amaine. After whome as Henrie Uane, a gentle|man of the said earles,Henrie Uane. and one of his companie did fiercelie pursue foure or fiue Scots, suddenlie turned, and set vpon him, and though they did not altogither escape his hands free, yet by hewing and mangling his head, bodie, and manie places else, they did so crueltie intreat him, as if rescue had not come the sooner, they had slaine him outright. Here was Barteuill run at sideling,Barteuill hurt. and hurt in the but|tocke, and one of the Englishmen slaine: of Scots againe none slaine, but thrée taken prisoners, wherof one was Richard Maxwell, and hurt in the thigh;Richard Maxwell taken, who had béene long in England not long before, and had receiued right manie benefits, both of the late kings liberalitie, and of the earle of Warwike, and of manie other nobles and gentlemen in the court beside.
