[1] The earle of Warwike, vnderstanding that his enimie the duke of Burgognie had receiued king Edward, and meant to aid him for recouerie of the kingdome, he first sent ouer to Calis foure hundred archers on horsse backe to make warre on the dukes countries; and further, prepared foure thousand vali|ant men to go ouer shortlie, that the duke might haue his hands euen full of trouble at home. And where ye haue heard that the erle of Warwike was kept out of Calis at his fléeing out of England into France, ye shall note that within a quarter of an houre after it was knowne that he was returned into England; and had chased king Edward out of the realme; not onelie monsieur de Uaucléere, but also all other of the garrison & towne shewed them|selues to be his fréends;The ragged staffe. so that the ragged staffe was taken vp and worne in euerie mans cap, some ware if of gold enameled, some of siluer; and he that could haue it neither of gold nor siluer, had it of whitish silke or cloth: such wauering minds haue the com|mon people, bending like a reed with euerie wind that bloweth.
