[1] [2] Manie other valiant and politike feats (no doubt) were atchiued during this siege, & happilie as wor|thie the rehearsall as this. But sith it was the inuen|tion of so noble a yoong gentleman,The lord Mountioie a noble yoong gentleman. I haue estéemed it not impertinent to speake thereof, and withall to lament the losse of the inuentor, who being taken a|waie shortlie after in his returne homewards, by vntimelie death, was like (if he had liued to grea|ter yéers of experience) to haue prooued comparable in valor to anie of his noble progenitors. But now to speake of other incidents that chanced whilest this siege remained before Muttrell, you must vnder|stand that the most part of the vittels that was spent in the campe was brought to them either from the kings campe at Bullogne, or else from S. Omers, to conueie the same so far off, it was néedfull to haue the carriage garded with good troops and bands both of horssemen and footmen: for the French fortresses were stronglie furnished with great numbers of men of war, which vpon occasions were readie to take aduantages offered.
