[1] But to leaue Calis in the present state, you shall vnderstand, that so soone as this duke of Guise (con|trarie to all expectation) had in so few daies gained this strong towne of Calis (afore thought impreg|nable) and had put the same in such order as best sée|med for his aduantage, proud of the spoile, and pres|sing forward vpon his good fortune, without giuing anie long time to the residue of the guides or cap|teines of the forts there, to breath vpon their busi|nesse,The duke of Guise mar|cheth to the fort and town of Guisnes. the 13 daie of the said moneth being thursdaie, with all prouision requisite for a siege, marched with his armie from Calis, vnto the towne and fort of Guisnes, fiue miles distant from thence. Of which towne and castell at the same time there was cap|teine a valiant baron of England,The L. Greie capteine of Guisnes. called William lord Greie of Wilton, who not without cause sus|pecting a siege at hand, and knowing the towne of Guisnes to be of small force, as being large in com|passe, without walles or bulworks, closed onlie with a trench, before the Frenchmens arriuall had caused all the inhabitants of the towne to auoid, and so ma|nie of them as were able to beare armes he caused to retire into the castell, which was a place well forti|fied with strong and massie bulworks of bricke, ha|uing also an high and mightie tower, of great force and strength, called the Kéepe.
