Which gaue such a furious & cruell charge vpon the Frenchmen, that they not able to resist the same, were altogither de|feated, and their battels as well horssemen as foot|men put to flight. Wherof king Philip hauing know|lege, pursued them with all his force, in which pursute there were slaine of the Frenchmen a great num|ber, the chiefe wherof were these that follow. Iohn of Burbon duke of Anghien the vicount of Tur|raine & eldest sonne of Roch du Maine, the lord of Chandenier, with a great number of other gentle|men that bare armes in the field.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Within two or three daies after this ouerthrow, king Philip with the English armie,The siege [...] Quintins, [...] the same taken and sacked. vnder the go|uernement of the earle of Penbroke, and others, came to the siege afore saint Quintins, & so was the siege greatlie reinforced; and on the seuen and twen|tith of August by the speciall aid & helpe of the Eng|lishmen, the towne of saint Quintins was taken. For when the other soldiours, after diuerse assaults were repelled and gaue ouer, the Englishmen of a stout courage gaue a new onset, by reason whereof the [...]owne was taken. And in reward of their well dooing, king Philip granted them the saccage of the said towne. But then the swart Rutters, which keepe no rule when they be strongest, set vpon the English|men, in taking of the spoile, and killed a great num|ber of them. This grudge was with much difficultie appeased, & men thought that if the Englishmen be|ing much fewer in number had not béene oppressed with the multitude of the other, that it would haue growne to a great slaughter on both parts.The lord Henrie Dud|leie slaine with the shot of a gun. At the as|sault the lord Henrie Dudleie, yoongest sonne to the duke of Northumberland was slaine with the shot of a great péece, as he stooped vpon his approch vnto the wall, and staid to rip his hose ouer the knée, there|by to haue béene the more apt and nimble to the as|sault. This was his end, of whome one saith thus:

—Henricus Dudleius heros,

Ille annis generosam animam inuenilibus efflat,

Quem referunt socij slentes in castra peremptum,

Vt mos christicolae est, velatum sindone, gentis.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 After the winning of this towne, newes in post were brought into England to the queene, who cau|sed generall processions to be made, and Te Deum to be soong, giuing all laud and praise to almightie God for this great victorie. And in the stréets of euerie ci|tie and towne of the realme were made bonefires with great reioising: which sudden short gladnesse turned verie shortlie after to great & long sorow. For if ought were woone by hauing of saint Quintins, England got nothing at all, for the gaine thereof came onelie to king Philip. But the losse of Calis, Hammes and Guisnes, with all the countrie on that side the sea (which followed soone after) was such a buf|fet to England, as happened not in more than an hundred yeares before; and a dishonor wherwith this realme shall be blotted, vntill God shall giue power to redub it with some like requitall to the French.
