The

THe
fyrst

that

And

wherfore

And
also
gane
the

knowlege
that
all

besy
warrynge
eche

&
that
he
sholde
not

yf

lasted
amonge

the

sholde
be

without

as
it

And
for

The
whiche
monycions
and
reasons
of
the
fals
traytre
vnderstande
and
pondred
by
the
grete
turke
and
his
councell
it
was
consydered
of
them
not
to
lese
so
good
occasyon
and

.
wherfore
he
made
extreme
dylygence
to
rygge
and
apparayle
many
shyppes
&
vesselles
of
dyuers
sortes
/
as
galeaces

¶
whan
the
prysoner
that
the
sayd
de
Merall
dyde
sende
in
to
Turky
had
doone
his
commyssyon
he
retorned
in
to
Rodes
/
wherof
euery
man
had
meruayle
.
And
many
folkes
demed
yll
of
his
comynge
agayne
/
as
of
a
thinge
vnaccustomed
/
but
none
durst
say
ony
thynge
seynge
the
sayd
de
Merral
of
so
grete
autoryte
and
dygnyte
.
And
he
cherys●hed
the
sayd
prysoner
more
than
he
was
wont
to
do
.
therfore
by
semynge
he
had
well
done
his
message
/
and
had
brought
good
tydynges
to
the
dampnable
&
shamefull
mynde
of
the
sayd
traytre
de
Merall
.
¶
How
the
grete
turke
caused
the
passages
to
be
kept
that
none
sholde
bere
tydynges
of
his
hoost
to
Rodes
.
THe
grete
turke
intendynge
with
grete
dyligence
to
make
redy
his
hoost
bothe
by
see
and
by
lande
/
the
better
to
come
to
his
purpose
/
&
to
take
the
town
vnwarely
as
he
was
aduertysed
/
thought
to
kepe
his
doynges
as
secretely
as
he
myght
.
And
defended
that
none
of
his
subgectes
sholde
go
to
Rodes
for
ony
maner
thinge
.
And
in
lykewyse
he
toke
al
the
bark●s
and
brygantynes
out
of
the
hauens
and
portes
in
those
costes
bycause
they
sholde
gyue
no
knowlege
of
his
army
.
and
also
made
to
kepe
the
passages
by
lande
that
none
sholde
passe
.
Howbeit
so
grete
apparayle
of
an
army
coude
not
be
longe
kept
close
.
for
the
spyres
that
the
lorde
grete
mayster
had
sent
in
to
Turky
brought
tydynges
to
the
castell
of
saynt
Peter
and
to
Rodes
/
of
all
that
was
sayd
&
doone
in
Turky
.
Neuerthelesse
the
sayd
lorde
gaue
noo
grete
credence
to
all
that
was
brought
and
tolde
.
bicause
that
many
yeres
before
the
predecessours
of
the
grete
turke
had
made
grete
armyes
/
&
alwaye
it
was
sayd
that
they
went
to
Rodes
.
the
whiche
came
to
none
effect
.
And
it
was
holden
for
a
mocke
&
a
by
worde
in
many
places
that
the
turke
wold
g●
assyege
Rodes
.
And
for
this
reason
doubt
was
had
of
this
last
army
/
&
some
wende
that
it
sholde
haue
gone
in
to
Cypres
or
to
Cataro
a
londe
of
the
lordshyp
of
Uenyce
.
Howbeit
the
grete
mayster
not
wyllyn
to
be
taken
vnwarely
/
but
the
meane
whyle
as
carefull
&
dyligent
for
the
welth
of
his
towne
/
&
his
people
/
vnderstondynge
these
tydynges
of
the
turkes
army
/
dyde
all
his
dylygence
to
repayre
&
strength
the
towne
.
Amonge
all
other
thynges
to
buylde
vp
/
&
reyse
the
bulwarke
of
Auuergne
/
&
made
to
clense
&
make
deper
the
dyches
.
And
the
more
to
cause
the
werke
men
to
haste
them
in
theyr
besynesse
the
sayd
lord
ouersawe
them
twyse
or
thryse
euery
day
.
¶
How
the
lorde
grete
mayster
counceylled
with
the
lordes
for
prouysion
for
the
towne
.
THan
the
sayd
reuerende
lorde
thought
to
furnysshe
&
store
the
towne
with
more
vytayles
for
the
sustenaunce
therof
/
&
for
the
same
many
tymes
he
spake
with
the
lordes
that
had
the
handlynge
&
rule
of
the
treasour
and
of
the
expences
therof
in
his

That

of
whome
is
spoken
afore
of

agaynst
his
relygion
.
The
whiche
.iii.
lordes
sayd
that
he
sholde
take
no
thought
for
it
.
For
the
towne
was
wel
stored
with
vytayles
for
a
grete
whyle
/
&
that
there
was
wheet
ynough
tyll

Notwithstandynge
it

good

haue
more

and
therfore
it
were
behouefull
to
sende

at

¶
Of
the
prouysyon
for

&
ordynaunce
of

.
AS
touchynge
the
store
and
ordynaunce
of

the
sayd
lordes
affermed
that
there
was
ynough
for
a
yere
&
more
wherof
the
contrary
was
founde
/
for
it
fayled
a
moneth
or
the
cyte
was
yelded
.
It
is
of
trouthe
that
there
was
grete
store
&
to
haue
lasted
longer
than
it
dyde
.
but
it
was
of
force
to
spende
largely
at
the
fyrst
comynge
of
the
enmyes
to
kepe
them
fro
comynge
nere
/
&
fro
brynginge
erthe
to
the
dyches

as
they
dyde

And
moreouer
it
is
to
consider
the
grete
nombre
of
them

&
theyr
power
that
was
spredde
rounde
about
the
towne
/
gyuynge
vs

And
yf

Howbeit
the

purueyed
besyly

¶
And
for

it
was
aduysed
by

AFter

For

For

Here
foloweth

And
how

ANd
bycause
as
it
is
sayd
afore
that
the
gretest
hope
that
the

had
to

was
by

Therfore
now
after
that
I
haue
spoken
of
the

I
shall
shewe
of
the

that
the

were
in

grete
quantyte

in

I
beleue
the

And
it
is
founde
by

there
was

Howbeit
thanked
be

many

came
not

For

was

many

¶
And
for
to
speke
of
the
mynes
that
had
effecte

domaged
vs

it
is
to
wyte
that
the
fourth

about

dyde
no

The
other
was
at
the
bulwarke

that
was
so
fell

it
caused

kest
downe
a

And
by
the

that
fell

the

came
vpon
the

with
theyr
baners

&
fought
sore

myghtyly
with
our

/
not
with

with

The

grete

they
made

mounted

But
the
ordynaunce
of
the

made
so

¶
whan

the
sayd

they
all
purposed
for
to

&
caused
those

And
began
agayne

The
fyrst
was
on

the

The

on

in

&
the
thyrde
on
monday
after

.
And
the
sayd
.iii.
assautes
were
made
to
the
bulwerke
of
Englande
.
And
it
was
assayled
but
with
stones
and
bagges
full
of
artyfyce
tyre
.
And
at
these
iii.
assautes
many
of
our
men
were
hurt
with
the
sayd
fyre
/
&
with
the
stones
that
came
as
thycke
as
rayne
or
hayle
.
But
fynally
the
enmyes
gate
●othynge
but
strokes
/
&
retourned
in
to
theyr
trenches
euyl
contented
&
murmurynge
/
and
sware
by
theyr
Machomet
that
Monstofa
bacha
sholde
not
make
them
to
mount
ony
more
to
the
sayd
bulwarke
.
And
that
it
was
grete
foly
for
them
to
make
them
be
slayne
at
the
wyll
&
fantasy
of
one
man
.
These
wordes
sayd
in
greke
by
some
of
the
enmyes
were
herde
of
our
men
as
they
went
downe
fro
the
bulwarke
.
And
bycause
(
as
it
is
sayd
)
that
the
enmyes
at
the
assautes
that
were
made
came
vp
by
the
e●the
and
stones
that
fell
fro
the
brackes
/
some
of
our
men
aduysed
to
clense
the
barbycan
/
&
take
the
erthe
out
of
the
dyche
/
to
th
ende
that
the
enmyes
sholde
not
easely
come
vpon
the
wal
.
And
in
effect
wenynge
that
it
were
well
&
behouefull
to
be
done
/
by
grete
dylygence
nyght
&
daye
by
mynes
they
voyded
the
barbycan
/
&
the
moost
parte
of
the
erthe
that
lay
in
the
dyche
was
brought
in
to
the
towne
the
whiche
was
hurtfull
afterwarde
&
was
cause
that
the
enmyes
gate
the
fote
of
the
walle
.
notwithstandynge
they
had
it
but
scarcely
.
But
this
clensynge
forthered
the
tyme
&
caused
them
to
gete
it
sooner
than
they
sholde
haue
done
yf
the
erth
had
lyen
styll
.
But
theyr
fynal
intent
was
to
reyse
the
defence
of
the
bulwarkes
/
&
than
passe
at
theyr
pleasure
&
entre
in
to
the
barbycan
as
they
haue
done
.
For
the
enmyes
seynge
that
the
sayd
barbycan
was
clensed
they
thought
to
gete
in
to
it
by
trenches
/
and
so
they
dyde
.
Howbeit
they
were
certayne
days
letted
by
our
hand
gonne
shot
.
The
enmyes
seynge
that
they
might
not
come
nere
it
they
couered
theyr
trenches
with
tables
to
saue
themselfe
.
And
than
they
made
a
myne
wherby
they
might
go
to
the
barbycan
.
So
by
these
two
meanes
after
that
they
were
repayred
with
erthe
and
with
a
certayne
walle
that
they
made
for
to
eschewe
the
shotte
of
the
bulwarkes
of
Auuergne
and
Spayne
.
And
in
the
myne
they
founde
but
two
gonners
/
whiche
they
slewe
by
force
of
men
.
By
this
maner
they
beynge
couered
on
all
partes
/
&
without
ony
daunger
passed
thorow
&
lepte
in
to
the
barbycan
/
and
gate
the
fote
of
the
walle
.
whiche
was
the
.xvii.
day
of
Octobre
/
an
vnhappy
daye
for
the
poore
towne
/
and
occasyon
of
the
ruyne
therof
/
&
wynnynge
that
they
had
.
¶
At
this
poynt
they
slept
not
/
but
lyghtly
and
with
grete
dylygence
they
began
●o
pycke
&
hewe
the
walle
.
And
we
wenynge
to
make
●emedy
therfore
/
&
to
fynde
meanes
to
dryue
them
fro
the
sayd
barby●an
with
gynnes
of
fyre
&
barylles
of
powdre
wherwith
we
slewe
many
of
them
/
but
it
auayled
nothynge
.
For
the
quantyte
&
multytude
of
people
that
trauayled
there
was
so
grete
that
they
cared
not
for
losse
of
them
.
And
yf
we
had
had
men
ynowe
within
the
towne
there
might
haue
ben
remedy
to
haue
reysed
them
fro
thens
.
But
consyderynge
that
our
force
&
total
hope
was
in
people
/
wherby
we
left
to
do
many
thynges
that
myght
haue
ben
doone
&
that
sholde
haue
ben
good
than
/
and
other
times
also
for
faute
of
men
of
warre
.
At
the
last
it
was
pondred
by
syr
Gabryell
martiningo
that
there
was
no
remedy
but
to
hewe
the
walle
for
to
mete
them
&
beate
them
with
ordynaunce
and
with
gyunes
of
fyre
to
brenne
&
vndo
them
.
Than
our
men
began
to
hewe
the
walle
/
&
made
some
holes
to
shote
at
the
enmyes
that
slept
not
/
but
dyde
as
we
dyde
/
to
shote
at
vs
/
&
in
dede
they
slewe
and
hurt
many
of
our
men
.
Than
syr
Gabryell
martiningo
ordeyned
to
make
repayres
within
the
towne
at
the
fronte
where
they
dyde
cut
the
walle
/
to
th
ende
that
after
the
walles
were
cut
the
enmyes
sholde
knowe
with
whome
to
mete
.
The
trauerses
were
made
on
eche
side
with
good
artyllery
grete
and
small
.
And
the
sayd
trauerses
&
repayres
were
of
the
length
that
the
enmyes
had
cut
the
walle
.
&
began
at
the
massyf
of
Spayne
made
by
the
reuerent
lorde
grete
mayster
Mery
damboyse
/
&
ended
at
the
chyrche
of
saynt
Saluador
.
The
whiche
trauerses
&
repayres
the
vulgar
people
call
la
Mandra
/
that
is
to
say
/
the
felde
.
¶
The
meane
tyme
that
the
repayres
and
trauerses
were
made
with
all
dylygence
syr
Gabryell
Martiningo
neuer
ceased
goynge
to
euery
place
to
pouruey
for
all
thinges
.
And
he
beynge
on
the
bulwarke
of
Spayne
to
ordeyne
all
thynge
that
was
nedefull
there
came
a
stroke
of
a
handgonne
fro
the
trenches
that
smote
out
his
eye
/
&
put
him
in
daunger
of
his
lyfe
/
but
thanked
be
god
he
retorned
to
helthe
within
a
moneth
&
a
halfe
.
His
hurte
came
euyll
to
passe
for
the
nede
that
we
had
of
hym
that
tyme
in
all
thynges
/
&
specyally
to
the

of

Neuertheles
the

pryour
of

Gyles
(
not

)
with
other

experte

The

on

syde
nyght

without

(
for
the
grete
nombre
of
labourers
that
they
had
hourely
and
newe
redyly
)
hewed
and
vndermyned
the
sayd
walle
.
¶
And
the
.xx.
day
of
Octobre
they
put
fyre
in
the
vndermynes
wenynge
to
haue
cast
downe
the
walle
/
but
they
coude
not
.
Than
they
wolde
haue
pulled
it
downe
with
grete
ropes
and
ancres
.
But
the
artyllery
of
the
bulwarke
of
Auuergne
brake
theyr
ropes
&
sent
them
away
lyghtly
.
¶
At
the
last
they
made
a
myne
vnder
the
sayd
wall
and
bracke
.
And
the
.vi.
day
of
the

moneth
they
dyde
put

to
the

/
wenynge
to
haue
ouerthrowen
the

which
it
dyde
not

reysed
it
and
made
it
to
fall
almoost
streyght
vpryght
/
which
was
more
dysauauntage
to
the
enmyes
than
profyte
.
Than
they
shot
artyllery
at
it
which
in
fewe
dayes
was
beaten
downe
/
&
they
had
openyuge
and
way
to
come
in
to
the
towne
.
Neuerthelesse
it
was
not
necessary
for
them
as

to

For
the

bette

where
as
was
a

that
bet
ryght

the

with
other
pieces
.
And
therfore
the
enmyes
sought
other

/
&
began
to
reyse
the

betwene
our

And

After

the

of

Andrewe
at
the
sprynge
of

the
enmyes
went
thorowe
the

with
theyr
baners
and
entred
in
to
the
repayres
with
greter
nombre
of
people
than
they
dide
at
the
grete
batayle
in
Septembre
/
hardyly
and
furyously
for
to
fyght
with
vs

But
at
theyr
comynge
in
the
artyllery
of
the
trauerses
and
the
handgonnes
/
and
the
gonshot
of
the

founde
them
so
wel

so
sharpely
that
he
that

in
was
anone
dispatched
and
ouerthrowen
/
and
there
abode
aboue
.ii.
M.
of

The
other
that
came
after
seynge
theyr
felawes
so
euyll
welcomed
/
as
people
that
were
astonyed
and
loste
they
tourned
agayne
to

.
to
whome
the
artyllery
of

shotte
vygoryously
/

hasted
them
to
go
a

And
by
reporte
fro
the
campe
ther
dyed
syxe
thousande

that
day
.
The
whiche
day
myght
be
called
very
happy
/
and
well
fortunate
for
vs
thanked
be
god
.
For
ther
was
none
that
thought
to
escape
that
day
/
but
to
haue
dyed
all
and
lost
the
towne
.
Howbeit
the
pleasure
of
our
lorde
was
by
euydent
myracle
to
haue
it
otherwyse
/
and
the
enmyes
were
chased
and
ouercome
.
And
it
is
to
be
noted
that
the
same
day
the
rayne
was
so
grete
and
so
stronge
/
that
it
made
the
erthe
to
synke
a
grete
dele
that
they
had
caste
into
the
dytches
for
to
couer
them
fro

And
the
sayd
erthe
beynge
so
sonken
/
the
artylery
of
the
sayd
bulwarke
(
vnwares
to
them
)
smote
them
goynge
and
comynge
and
made
grete
murdre
of
the
sayd
dogges
.
The
sayd
day
also
the
enmyes
came
to
the
playne
of
Italy
for
to
assaute
it
/
but
whan
they
vnderstode
that
theyr
felowes
had
ben
put
backe
so
rudely
/
&
with
so
grete
slaughter
they
were
afrayde
/
and
so
they
returned
agayne
to
theyr
trenches
.
¶
How
the
Turkes

of
Italy

ANd
that
done
Acmek
Bacha
seynge
theyr
besynes
euery

/
and
that
at
the
assautes
was
but
losse
of
people
without
doynge
of
ony
good

and
that
there
was
no
man
that
wyllyngely
wolde
go
to
it
ony
more
/
he
intended
to
gyue
no
mo
assautes
/
but
to
folowe
his
trenches

&
by
them
entre
dyscouertly
without
losse
of
a
man
fro
the
bracke
to
the
other
ende
of
the
towne

Semblably
he
entended
for
to
wynne
the
playne
erthe
besyde
Spayne
.
The
whiche
to
get
he
came
at
pleasure
to
the
fote
of

&
beganne
to
bete
downe
the
playne
grounde
and
to
gyue
many
scarmysshes

conflyctes
to
our
folke
that
kepte
it

And
there
was
slayne
many
good

And
at
the
last
for
defaute
of

of

it
was
lefte

That

the

And
this
is
the
thyrde
place
that
they
came

And
who

seynge
theyr

myght
well

that
at

it
shulde

¶
How
a
Geneuey
came
to
the
gate
of
the
towne
for
to
speke
for
a
treaty
/
and
delyueraunce
of
the

.
AFter
that
the
sayd
Iourney
was
wonne
/
a
fewe
dayes
after
a
chrysten
man
that
was
in
the
campe
/
the
whiche
by
his
speche
was
a
Geneueys
or
Cyotis
came
to
the
gate
of
Auuergne
/
and
demaunded
to
speke
/
and
after
that
he
was
questyoned
what
he
wolde
haue
/
he
sayd
that
he
had
meruayle
of
vs
why
we
wolde
not
yelde
vs
/
seynge
the
pyteous
degre
that
the
towne
was
in
.
And
he
as
a
chrysten
man
counseyled
vs
to
yelde
vs
with
some
agrement
.
And
that
yf
we
wolde
loke
therto
/
y
some
shulde
be
founde
expedyent
to
do
somwhat
for
our
saufgarde
.
And
it
is
to
beleue
that
he
sayd
not
suche
wordes
nor
spake
so
ferforthe
in
the
mater
without
commyssyon
of
some
of
the
chyef
of
the
campe
/
or
of
the
grete
Turke
hymselfe
.
To
the
whiche
Cyotis
was
answered
that
he
shulde
go
away
with
an
euyll
happe
/
&
that
it
neded
not
to
speke
of
a
poyntment
.
And
that
thoughe
the
enmyes
had
grete
auauntage
/
that
there
was
yet
ynoughe
wherwith
to
receyue
and
feest
them
/
yf
they
made
ony
assaute
.
These
wordes
herd
he
went
away
.
And
two
dayes
after
he
came
agayne
and
demaunded
to
speke
with
a
marchaunt
Geneueys
of
the
towne
named
Mathewe
de
Ura
/
and
he
was
answered
that
he
whiche
he
demaunded
was
seke
/
and
myght
not
come
/
but
that
he
shulde
delyuer
the
letter
&
it
shulde
be
gyuen
to
hym
.
The
sayd
Cyotis
sayd
nay
/
and
that
he
wolde
gyue
it
hymselfe
&
speke
with
hym
.
And
sayd
that
he
had
also
a
letter
of
the
grete
lorde
/
for
the
lorde
mayster
.
Upon
this
he
was
boden
to
go
his
way
/
&
to
further
hym
to
go
/
they
shotte
after
him
a
pyece
of
artylery
.
The
nexte
day
after
Ballantis
Albanyty
that
was
fled
through
the
bracke
of
Spayne
to
the
campe
came
fro
the
sayd
Geneueys
proposynge
suche
wordes
or
lyke
as
the
other
had
sayd
/
sayenge
lykewyse
that
the
grete
lorde
had
sent
a
letter
to
the
lorde
mayster
.
To
whome
no
wordes
were
spoken
nor
answere
made
/
for
the
lorde
grete
mayster
as
wyse
and
prudent
consyderynge
that
a
towne
that
wyll
here
entreatynges
is
halfe
lost
/
made
to
defende
vpon
the
peyne
of
dethe
syth
that
Cyotis
had
spoken
those
two
tymes
that
none
shuld
be
so
hardy
to
speke
nor
answere
to
them
of
the
campe
/
without
his
knowlege
and
commaundement
/
but
seynge
they
were
suche
embassadoures
/
they
reported
the
wordes
of
the
sayde
Albanyty
/
or
euer
the
sayd
lorde
had
knowlege
of
the
wordes
of
Cyotis
.
The
whiche
wordes
spredde
throughe
the
towne
put
many
folke
in
thought
/
and
wolde
haue
vndone
y●
that
Cyotis
sayd
.
The
whiche
is
no
meruayle
there
as
is
moche
people
/
for
with
good
wyll
&
most
often
they
regarded
more
soner
to
saue
the
lyfe
of
them
&
theyr
chyldren
than
they
do
to
the
honour
of
the
resydue
.
Howbeit
not
one
durst
speke
a
worde
openly
of
that
besynesse
/
but
all
secretly
.
And
some
came
and
spake
to
certayne
lordes
of
the
grete
crosse
for
to
speke
to
the
lorde
grete
mayster
.
And
in
effecte
some
lordes
spake
therof
to
hym
/
enhortynge
hym
that
it
shulde
be
good
to
thynke
theron
/
seynge
that
the
towne
went
to
losse
.
To
whome
the
sayd
lorde
shewed
many
thynges
for
his
honour
and
the
reylgyon
.
And
that
no
suche
thynges
ought
to
be
done
nor
thought
/
for
ony
thynge
in
the
worlde
/
but
rather
he
and
they
to
dye
.
The
lordes
herynge
this
answere
wente
theyr
wayes
/
and
than
retourned
agayne
to
the
sayd
lorde
/
aduysynge
hym
more
to
thynke
well
on
all
thynges
&
to
the
saluacyon
of
his
towne
&
of
his
relygyon
.
And
they
sayd
moreouer
that
they
doubted
that
the
people
wold
rather
haue
apoyntment
than
to
dye
/
and
theyr
wyues
and
chyldren
.
The
lorde
seynge
that
suche
wordes
were
as
thynges
enforced
(
as
who
shulde
say
)
yf
thou
do
it
not
/
we
shall
do
it
as
wyse
men
and
prudent
/
wyllynge
to
make
remedyes
of
nedefull
thynges
by
counsell
made
to
cal
the
lordes
of
his
counsell
for
to
haue
aduyse
in
these
doynges
and
other
.
And
whan
they
were
assembled
/
the
lorde
proposed
the
wordes
that
were
to
hym
denounced
/
&
sayd
.
With
these
termes
&
wordes
came
two
or
thre
marchauntes
&
cytezyns
of
the
towne
that
knocked
at
the
dore
of
the
counsell
&
presented
a
supplycacyon
to
the
grete
mayster
/
&
lordes
of
the
counsell
/
wherby
they
requyred
and
besought
mekely
ye●ayd
reuerende
lorde
haue
respyte
to
them
and
theyr
poore
housholdes
/
and
to
make
some
apoyntment
with
the
grete
Turke
/
seynge
that
the
sayd
mater
was
all
redy
forwarde
in
purpose
that
he
wolde
do
it
.
And
that
it
wolde
please
hym
to
consyder
the
pyteous
&
sorowfull
estate
that
the
towne
was
in
.
And
that
there
was
no
remedy
to
saue
it
.
And
at
the
lest
way
yf
the
lorde
wolde
not
make
a
poyntmente
to
gyue
them
leue
(
of
his
goodnes
)
to
haue
theyr
wyues
&
theyr
chyldren
out
of
the
Rodes
to
saue
them
for
they
wolde
not
that
they
were
slayne
nor
made
slaues
to
the
enmyes
.
And
the
conclusyon
was
that
yf
the
sayd
lorde
wolde
not
puruey
therfore
/
they
wolde
puruey
for
it
themselfe
.
And
there
was
wryten
in
the
sayd
request
the
names
of
eyghte
or
ten
of
the
rychest
of
the
towne
(
whiche
wordes
of
the
sayd
supplycacyon
herde
)
the
sayd
lorde
and
his
counsell
were
abasshed
and
euyll
content
as
reason
wolde
/
seynge
that
it
was
but
a
course
game
/
and
thought
on
many
thynges
to
make
answere
to
the
sayd
cytezyns
/
for
to
content
and
appease
them
And
also
to
se
yf
they
shulde
intende
to
the
apoyntment
/
as
they
requyred
/
and
after
as
the
Geneuoy
hadde
reported
.
And
the
better
to
make
the
sayd
answere
/
and
to
knowe
more
playnly
in
what
degre
the
towne
was
in
all
thynges
.
That
is
to
wyte
/
fyrst
of
powders
/
&
than
of
men
of
warre
/
and
of
the
katteryes
.
Also
were
interroged
and
questyoned
the
lorde
of
saynt
Gyles
Pre
Iohan
whiche
had
the
charge
of
the
powders
/
and
than
the
capytayne
syr
Gabryell
Martynyngo
for

ouer
theyr

knewe
the
truthe
yf
the
towne
myght
holde
or
not
/
or
there
were
expedyent
to
saue
it
.
The
sayd
lorde
of
saynt
Gyles
arose
sayenge
&
affyrmynge
vpon
his
honour
and
his
conscyence
that
almost
all
the
slaues
and
labourers
were
deed
and
hurte
.
And
that
scantly
there
was
folke
●nowe
to
remoeue
a
pyece
of
artilery
fro
one
place
to
an
other
/
&
that
it
was
vnpossyble
without
folke
ony
more
to
make
or
set
vp
the
repayres
the
whiche
euery
day
were
broken
and
crusshed
by
the
grete
/
furyous
/
and
contynuall
shotte
of
the
enmyes
artylery
.
As
for
powders
the
sayde
lorde
sayde
/
that
all
that
was
for
store
in
the
towne
was
spent
longe
agone
.
And
of
that
/
that
was
newly
brought
was
not
to

furnysshe
two
assautes

And
he
seynge
the
grete
auauntage
of
the
enmyes
beynge
so
ferre
within
the
towne
without
power
to
put

chase
them
awaye
for

of

was
of
the
opynyon
that
the
towne
wolde
be
loste
/
and
that
there
was
no
meanes
to
saue
it
.
The
wordes
of
the
sayde
lorde
fynysshed
/
the
capytayne
Gabryell
Martynyngo
for
his
dyscharge
sayd
and
declared
to
the
reuerende
lorde
and
them

counsell
/
that
seynge
and
consyderynge
the
grete
betynges
of
shotte
that
the
towne
hadde
suffered
/
and
after
seynge
the
entrynge
that
the
enmyes
had
so
large
/
and
that
they
were
within
the
towne
by
theyr
trenches
bothe
endelonge
and
ouerthwarte
.
Seynge
alsoo
that
in
two
other
places
they
were
at
the
fote
of
the
wall
/
and
that
the
moste
parte
of
our
knyghtes
and
men
of
warre
and
other
were
slayne
and
hurte
/
and
the
powders
wasted
/
&
that
it
was
vnpossyble
for
them
to
resyste
theyr
enmyes
ony
more
/
that
withoute
doubte
the
towne
was
lost
yf
there
came
no
socoures
for
to
helpe
and
resyste
the

.
The
whiche
opynyons
and
reasones
of
these
two
worthy
men
and
expert
in
suche
feates
vnderstanden
&
pondred
by
the
lorde
grete

and
the
lordes
of

councell
/
they
were
moost

aduysed
for
to
accept

yf

whiche
was
a

that
he
feared

wolde
no

but
go
his
way
.
To
this
I
answere
.
Notwithstandynge
that
the
grete
Turke
was
aduertysed
by
some
treatours
/
&
by
other
the
fledde
to

/
that
the
powders
almoost
fayled
/
&
that
there
was
but
fewe
men
of
warre
within
the
towne
/
yet
he
beleued
not
nor
gaue
credence
of
all
that
was
reported
to
hym
/
but
thought
verely
that
we
had
ynough
for
a
grete
whyle
.
And
consydered
that
he
must
tary
tyll
they
were
wasted
&
spent
/
wherto
behoued
tyme
.
And
seynge
all
his
estate
entred
in

in

of
his

&
had
ben
there
all
redy

daunger
of

Thynkynge
on

that
takynge
the

yet
whan

eche

For

that
may
be
alleged
/
the
grete
Turke
had
moche
leuer
to
haue
the
towne

And
it

hym
to

And
we
of

myght
no

it
semed
better
to

and
they
to

genyssaires
/
whiche
by
the
commaundement
of
the
grete
Turke
was
gone
vpon
the
bordres
of
the
countrees
of
Sophy
.
For
the
turke
seynge
the
people
of
the
campe
dyscourage
&
wolde
no
more
go
to
the
assautes
sent
to
the
sayd
bachas
to
come
to
Rodes
with
his
people
/
whiche
withstode
sore
with
theyr
bodyes
as
fresshe
men
.
And
it
was
worke
of
god
&
euident
myracle
that
they
came
after
that
the
appoyntement
was
made
.
For
yf
they
had
comen
afore
it
is
to
suppose
that
the
dede
had
gone
otherwyse
/
&
there
had
ben
many
strokes
gyuen
/
but
I
beleue
that
the
ende
sholde
haue
ben
piteous
for
vs
/
but
god
wold
not
that
the
turke
shol●e
haue
vyctory
vpon
vs
as
he
ought
to
haue
had
/
seynge
the
grete
auauntage
that
he
had
in
all
thynges
/
but
he
blynded
him
&
wolde
not
that
he
knewe
his
myght
.
And
on
the
other
parte
it
may
be
sayd
&
meruayled
how
it
is
possyble
alway
to
haue
ouercome
our
enmyes
in
all
assautes
&
scarmysshes
/
&
at
the
ende
to
lese
the
towne
/
preferrynge
the
wyll
of
god
that
so
hath
pleased
for
some
cause
to
vs
vnknowen
.
It
is
to
beleue
the
lacke
of
men
&
gonshot
/
&
the
enmyes
soo
ferre
within
the
towne
/
&
redy
to
entre
at
other
places
with
the
treasons
hath
caused
the
towne
to
be
lost
.
Two

.iii.
dayes
after
the
comynge
of
the
sayd

his
genissayres
&
other

&
than
the
turkes
worde

/
yf

Neuerthelesse

&
in

promysse
was
kept

But
they

&
entred
by
force
in
to
the
houses
of
the
castell
/
&
toke

After

they
entred
in

the
chyrches
/
&
pylled
all

they
founde

And

Than

&
droue
them

/
some

&
some

&
sought

&
they
forced

And
all
they

gracyously
receyued

And
caused
to

vsuall

And
