After this, the lord Talbot sent to the duke of Burgognie, signifieng that except he would come foorth, and bide by a bat|tell, he would vtterlie wast his countrie of Picardie. According wherevnto (the duke of Burgognie shrin|king) he burnt townes, spoiled and slue manie people in Picardie. But for all those his doings, the duke of Burgognie appeared not, but got him from Abuile to Amiens, so that the lord Talbot abode twentie daies full in Picardie and Arthois, destroieng all afore him, and after returned vntouched.
