[1] King Henrie, by reason of his small number of people to fill vp his battels, placed his vauntgard so on the right hand of the maine battell, which himselfe led, that the distance betwixt them might scarse be perceiued, and so in like case was the rereward ioi|ned on the left hand, that the one might the more rea|dilie succour an other in time of néed. When he had thus ordered his battels, he left a small companie to kéepe his campe and cariage, which remained still in the village, and then calling his capteins and soldi|ers about him, he made to them a right graue orati|on, moouing them to plaie the men,K. Henries oration to his men. whereby to ob|teine a glorious victorie, as there was hope certeine they should, the rather if they would but remember the iust cause for which they fought, and whome they should incounter, such faint-harted people as their ancestors had so often ouercome. To conclude, ma|nie words of courage he vttered, to stirre them to doo manfullie, assuring them that England should neuer be charged with his ransome, nor anie Frenchmen triumph ouer him as a captiue; for either by famous death or glorious victorie would he (by Gods grace) win honour and fame.
