[1] [2] The night insuing the pioners made a new trench by the citadell wherein they might lodge some shot, and capteine Uaughan with diuerse of the bands in Montpelham gaue two false assaults to the towne, entred the ditches, and viewed the flankers: where|vpon the French shot off the same flankers,Capteine Uaughan vieweth the enimies flan|kers. and manning their walles, shot off two or thrée volees of their small artillerie, slaieng and hurting to the num|ber of twentie of the Englishmen. Among other, little Norton lost his life that night, and so at length the residue returned. Saturdaie the fourth of Maie, there were thrée ensigns appointed to gard the new trenches, and towards night, when the ward should be reléeued, and the watch set, the Frenchmen that were in the trench vnder the citadell, made a sallie vpon the sudden. Wherevpon the Englishmen that garded the said trench were constreined to abandon a great part thereof for a time:The French repelled by the English. but yet the English|men eftsoons taking courage, laid to them afresh, repelled them againe, & draue them backe into their owne trenches, slue foure of them in sight, and hurt manie others. This was the lot of warre to be o|uerthrowne by force of the enimie, as the poet saith:

Qui Martem experti, per vim subiguntur ab hoste.
