[1] [2] Whilest these things were adooing, there came to the duke an herald called Penbroke, belonging to the duke of Glocester, who declared to the duke of Burgognie, that the protector of England his mai|ster (if God would send him wind & weather) would giue him battell, either there, or in anie other place within his owne countrie, where he would appoint, and that with spéed, if God vouchsafed him wind and weather. The duke answered the herald;

Sir, saie to your maister, that his chalenge is both honorable and reasonable: howbeit, he shall not néed to take the paines to séeke me in mine owne countrie, for (God willing) he shall find me heere, till I haue my will of the towne, readie to abide him and all the power he can bring.

After the herald had receiued this answer, he was highlie chéered, and had a cup and an hundred guildens to him giuen in reward, and so he returned to Calis.
