The king lieng before Terwine, his great ordi|nance did sore beat the towne walles, & they within likewise shot ordinance out of the towne, and slue di|uerse Englishmen in the trenches, among which shots they had one gun that euerie daie and night was ordinarilie shot at certeine houres without faile: this gun was of the Englishmen called the whistling gun, but it neuer did harme in the kings field. The siege thus lieng before the citie of Terwine, sir Alexander Bainam a capteine of the miners, caused a mine to be enterprised to enter into the towne: but the Frenchmen perceiuing that, made a countermine, and so destroied the other mine, and di|uerse miners slaine within the same. The French ar|mie houered euer a farre to take the Englishmen at aduantage, as they went a forraging; and manie a skirmish was doone, and manie good feates of armes atchiued on both sides, and diuerse prisoners taken. Among the Frenchmen were certeine light horsse|men called Stradiots, with short stirrops, beuer hats small speares,St [...]adiots [...]imbed and [...]tered [...] English [...] horsse| [...] and swords like cimiteries of Turkie: diuerse times the northerne light horssmen vnder the conduct of sir Iohn Neuill skirmished with these Stradiots and tooke diuerse of them prisoners, and brought them to the king.

While the king laie thus before Terwine, the capteine of Bullongne knowing by his espials, that manie of the garrison of Calis were with the king at the siege, and also that vittels were dailie brought out of England to Calis to succour the campe, ima|gined a great enterprise, and sent for all the men of warre vnder his dominion and rule, and declared to them what honour they should obteine if they hurted or spoiled the out parts of Calis, the king of England on that side of the sea. The men of warre perceiuing the good courage of the capteine, assented to his pur|pose, and so with all diligence they, to the number of a thousand men, in the euening set forward, & came to Newnam bridge by thrée of the clocke in the mor|ning, and found the watchmen that kept the bridge asléepe, & so entred the bulworke and slue the watch|men, and tooke the ordinance of the bridge, and then let the bridge fall, so that all entred that would.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The capteine of Bullongne kept six hundred men for a stale at the bridge, & sent the other into the ma|rishes and medows to fetch awaie the beasts and cat|tell which they should find there. This was doone, and some of them came so néere the walles of Calis, that they were escried. And about a six score coupers, ba|kers, shipmen & other which laie without the towne, hearing the alarme, got togither, & setting on those Frenchmen which were aduanced so néere the towne, slue them downe that abode,Watchmen found sléeping serued iustlie. chased them that fled euen into Newnam bridge, and recouered the same, and put backe their enimies. About fiue of the clocke in the morning, the gate of Calis called Bullongne gate was opened, and then by permission of the deputie, one Culpeper the vnder-marshall with two hundred archers vnder a banner of saint George issued foorth.Culpeper vn|der-marshall of Calis.
