Tuesdaie the last of Aprill was spent in shooting off the great artillerie into the towne.A fire in [...], and augmented with shot of ordinance and [...] wea|ther. About fiue of the clocke in the after noone, a sudden fire was raised within the towne, which hugelie increased and continued the most part of that night. At the beginning when it first appeered, the English ordinance was shot off to the place where the fire was, which shot togither with helpe of the wind, and being verie great at that pre|sent, did maruellouslie augment the same fire: yet neuerthelesse the French at that present time offered a skirmish, and continued the same néere hand for the space of two houres, manned their walles, and made the best prouision they might for doubt of some assault. It was indéed appointed, that certeine bands should make an alarum to the towne:Capteine Uaughan. in so much that capteine Uaughan with diuerse of the sol|diors of Montpelham entred the ditch, and approch|ing the walles, discouered the height of them. And notwithstanding that the French did what they could to annoie them in the diches with currier shot, yet did capteine Uaughan staie in the ditch a pretie while, and retired with his men without receiuing anie great hurt.
