[1] When the Frenchmen were clearelie ouercome, and those that were left aliue fled and gone, so that the Englishmen heard no more noise of them,The king of England co [...]meth [...] from the [...]. king Ed|ward came downe from the hill (on the which he stood all that day with his helmet still on his head) and go|ing to the prince, imbraced him in his armes, and kis|sed him, saieng;

Faire sonne, God send you good per|seuerance in this your prosperous beginning, you [page 373] haue noblie acquit your selfe, you are well worthie to haue the gouernance of a realme committed to your hands for your valiant dooings.

The prince inclined himselfe to the earth in honouring his father, as he best could. This done, they thanked God togither with their souldiers for their good aduenture. For so the king commanded, and willed no man to make anie boast of his owne power, but to ascribe all the praise to almightie God for such a noble victorie; séeming héerein to be affected as Dauid was in the foure and fortith psalme; for he also referreth the happie successe of warre, and all victorie, vnto almightie God, and not to the strength of a multitude of men, saieng:

Tu nos ab hoste subtrahis, sternis solo

Georg. Buch. pa|raph. in psal.Infensa nobis agmina.

Non ergo s [...]per iure te cantabimus

Nostrae salutis vindicem?
