Those of sir Nicholas Arnalts monts discharged verie well at the first, but at the se|cond volee the morters burst. Albeit there were two brasse peeces that were planted aloft on the same mont, of the which the one discharged fiue & twentie shot by the maister, and the other seuen and twentie by his maiestie. Sir Nicholas Arnalt here being ac|companied with his capteins and soldiers about him, stood at defense so stoutlie as was possible, doo|ing so valiantlie, that their fame deserueth to liue for euer. There were burst vpon the faces of the enimies (ouer and beside the shot that was bestowed among them) to the number of fiftéene hundred pikes and blacke bils.The number of pikes and bils broken vpon the Frenchmen. The Frenchmen verelie stucke to it to the vttermost, and did what laie in the verie last point of their powers to enter vpon the Englishmen, sup|plieng still the places of their dead and wearie men with fresh succors.
