[1] [2] The Frenchmen within the towne, being des|poiled of those two places, yet spared not to shoot off from their walles and bulworkes, dooing what da|mage they might deuise, and namelie from the ca|stell and gréene bulworke they did much hurt to the Englishmen with their shot, whereof they made no spare, till at length they were forced to be quiet: for the Englishmen so applied them with such plentie of their shot, that the Frenchmen had no oportunitie to doo them anie great hurt with their artillerie. The fourtéenth of Iulie,The king passeth the seas to Bul|longne. the king in person, accompanied with diuers of the nobilitie, passed the seas from Do|uer to Calis; and the six and twentith of the same mo|neth incamped himselfe before Bullongne on the north side, within lesse than three quarters of a mile of the towne, where he remained, till the towne was surrendered into his hands. The king being then in campe, it was a matter of ease to discerne which was he, for none of the rest came néere him in tal|nesse by the head: as for his proportion of lims, it was answerable to his goodlie stature and making: a memorable description whereof, as also of his artificiall armour, I find reported as followeth:

Rex capite Henricus reliquos supereminet omnes,

Heros praeualidus seu fortia brachia spectes,

Seu suras quas fuluo opifex incluserat auro,

Siue virile ducis praestanti pectore corpus,

Nulla vi domitum, nullo penetrabile ferro, &c.
