[1] [2] The French king, perceiuing that he could not pre|uaile in this enterprise, left the dead bodies behind him, and taking with him the wounded capteins, re|turned into Berrie. But in the meane waie, the in|habitants of Laignie submitted themselues vnto him. The duke of Bedford being in Normandie, hea|ring of this sudden attempt, with all hast possible came to Paris, where he gaue manie great thanks, with high commendations vnto the capteins, souldi|ers and citizens for their assured fidelitie, great har|dinesse & manlie dooing. Which his gentle words so incouraged the harts of the Parisiens, that they sware, promised and concluded, to be freends for euer to the king of England and his fréends, and enimies alwaies to his foes and aduersaries, making procla|mation by this stile:

Fréends to K. Henrie, freends to the Parisiens; Enimies to England, enimies to Paris.

Marie whether this was vttered from their harts, it is hard so to saie, for the sequeale of their acts seemed to proue the contrarie.
