[1] The prince perceiuing that his aduersarie came forward to incounter him, dispatched the herauld with an answer to the letter which he had of him re|ceiued, conteining in effect, that for great considera|tions, he had taken vpon him to aid the rightfull K. of Spaine, chased out of his realm by violent wrong, and that if it might be, he would gladlie make an a|greement betwixt them; conditionallie, that king Henrie of necessitie must then forsake the admini|stration, and all the title of the kingdome of Spaine, which by no rightfull meane he could inioy, and there|fore if he refused thus to doo, he was for his part resol|ued how to procéed. The herauld departed with this answer, and came therewith vnto king Henrie, and deliuered it vnto him, as then lodged with his puis|sant armie at Nauarre, so that then both parties pre|pared themselues to battell.
