[1] [2] There were taken foure of their barges with a bal|lenger, and one and twentie English vessels recoue|red, which they had robbed and taken awaie from their owners. There scaped yet foure of their notable capteins frõ the hands of our men, Martin Grantz, Iohn Peris Mantago, Iohn Husce Gitario, and one Garcias of S. Sebastiano, so that the malice of those robbers ceased not. For they with the French gallies still lieng on the seas,Diuerse townes on the English costs destroied and burnt. when they espied anie aduantage, would land their people, and doo what mis|cheefe they could, in taking preies, and burning townes and villages, although now and then they came short to their vessels againe, losing sometimes an hundred, sometimes fourescore that were ouer|taken by the Englishmen that came foorth against them.The abbat of Battell in re|leuing Win|chel [...]e is put to flight. But among other inuasions which they made this summer on the coasts, we find that they burnt the towne of Winchelsie, & put the abbat of Battell to flight with his people, comming to succor that towne and tooke one of his moonks that was there in armor with the abbat. ¶Some write also, that they burnt Rie, Hastings, and Portsmouth. Finallie, their bold|nesse so farre increased, that in August they entring with their gallies into the riuer of Thames,Grauesend burnt. came vp to Grauesend, where they burnt the most part of the towne, and on the other side of the riuer, as well in Essex as Kent, they burnt and spoiled diuerse places, and with their prisoners and booties returned without receiuing anie hurt, bringing with them to France, both rich spoiles and good prisoners.
