[1] [2] When the king should passe ouer the sea, he con|sidered that the Scots would happilie attempt some|what to the preiudice of his subiects in his absence, which sticked not (he being within the realme) to rob both by sea and land. Wherefore to resist their ma|lice, he appointed sir Arthur Darcie with thrée hun|dred men to go vnto Berwike, to defend the borders from inuasions of the Scots, who shortlie after by the middle marches entred the realme, and came to a place called Fowberie, and stering certeine villa|ges in their waie, returned. The erle of Angus as then was at Berwike as a banished man; and the said sir Arthur determined to reuenge this displea|sure: and therevpon with foure hundred men made a rode into Scotland, and set a village on fire. Then immediatlie assembled togither eight hundred Scots, and began to approch néere to the English men, who perceiuing them, caused their trumpet to blow the retreit, and the erle and twentie with him shewed himselfe on an hill, euen in the face of the Scots, and the trumpet blew at their backs, so that the Scots thought that there had beene two compa|nies, which caused the Scots to flie,Scots dis|comfited by the English|men. and the English|men followed and slew a great number of them, and tooke manie of them prisoners.
