In the tower that was taken at the bridge end (as before you haue heard) there was an high chamber, hauing a grate full of barres of iron, by the which a man might looke all the length of the bridge into the citie; at which gra [...]e manie of the chéefe capteins stood manie times, viewing the citie, and deuising in what place it was best to giue the as|sault. They within the citie well perceiued this too|ting hole, and laid a péece of ordinance directlie a|gainst the window.
