IN
the
renoumed
raigne
of
that
noble
prince
Kyng
Henrie
the
eight
,
whose
famous
memorie
,
shall
laste
whiles
this
worlde
standeth
:
All
Cheualrie
was
cherished
,
Soldiours
made
of
,
and
manhoode
so
muche
esteemed
,
that
he
was
thought
happie
and
moste
valiaunt
,
that
sought
credite
by
the
exercises
of
Armes
,
and
dissipline
of
warre
.
Whiche
did
so
animate
the
noble
mindes
of
men
,
that
in
a
maner
he
was
counted
no
bodie
,
that
had
not
been
knowen
to
bee
at
some
valiaunte
enterprice
.
And
euery
simple
subiecte
,
was
giuen
to
the
aduaunsement
of
his
Countrey
.
As
the
burnyng
of
Treporte
,
the
winnyng
of
Tornay
,
Bullaine
,
and
sonderie
other
places
dooeth
manifestly
declare
.
The
iourneis
into
Scotlande
and
victories
there
,
would
wearie
you
to
reade
of
,
and
beareth
yet
recorde
,
what
greate
honor
was
in
our
kyng
,
and
courage
in
our
people
.
So
that
in
this
fortunate
season
,
the
whole
worlde
did
resounde
of
our
worthinesse
,
and
forward
desire
of
seruice
.
And
then
beganne
M.
Nicholas
Malbie
to
fauour
the
warre
,
and
take
therein
suche
paines
and
delight
,
that
in
Kyng
Edward
the
sixte
his
daies
,
the
first
yere
of
his
raigne
,
maister
Nicholas
Malbie
was
at
Gines
,
a
Clarke
of
the
victualles
,
in
a
reasonable
good
credite
vnder
Maister
Wauller
,
then
a
speciall
officer
.
And
the
second
yere
he
was
a
light
horseman
,
vnder
capitaine
Crayer
,
in
the
seruice
of
the
Frenche
Kyng
,
where
was
muche
seruice
at
that
presente
.
And
in
this
tyme
there
was
a
practise
for
the
takyng
of
Arras
,
which
the
noble
men
of
Fraunce
had
deuised
in
this
sorte
:
The
nobilitie
put
them selues
in
Peisauntes
apparell
,
colourablie
to
become
prisoners
to
the
Englishe
horsemen
:
And
so
marched
a
foote
,
toward
the
gates
of
Arras
,
as
though
the
Englishe
horsemen
of
the
Emperours
side
,
had
brought
in
certaine
prisoners
from
the
Frenche
,
but
one
Peter
Androwes
,
a
false
traitour
to
the
Englishe
seruyng
in
Fraunce
,
beeyng
made
priuie
to
this
practise
,
disclosed
the
matter
to
the
Burgonions
,
before
Mounsire
Vandiuill
of
Graueline
,
wherupon
a
greate
nomber
issued
out
of
the
toune
,
and
so
a
hotte
skirmishe
was
begonne
and
ended
,
to
the
greate
losse
of
the
Burgonions
side
,
and
so
the
Frenche
disapointed
of
their
purpose
,
retired
awaie
.
From
thence
capitain
Crayer
and
his
companie
,
were
commaunded
to
Heddyng
,
where
thei
tooke
diuerse
greate
booties
,
and
made
many
spoiles
,
to
the
greate
benefite
of
all
the
Englishe
horsemen
.
I
had
forgotten
how
that
the
Duke
de
Vandome
,
before
these
exploites
entered
the
lowe
Countrey
with
an
armie
,
and
aboute
Bottes
Bulwarke
,
and
other
partes
nere
vnto
Saincte
Homers
did
greate
harme
,
whiche
I
sawe
being
then
a
soldiour
on
the
Emperors
side
,
and
vnder
Mounsire
de
Rues
grand
maister
of
Flaunders
.
And
after
that
Heddyng
was
besieged
by
Mounsire
de
Rues
,
and
wonne
in
a
short
space
,
at
whiche
seruice
was
capitaine
Matson
,
M.
Richard
Bingham
,
Willyam
Hinde
,
and
one
capitaine
Plonket
,
with
a
nomber
of
other
gentlemen
not
here
named
.
And
at
the
winnyng
of
Torwain
,
these
Englishmen
that
serued
the
Emperour
were
in
like
sort
.
From
Heddyng
captain
Crayer
with
his
bande
,
were
sent
three
leagues
further
into
the
frontires
,
to
a
place
called
Farsine
,
whiche
borders
vpon
the
Countie
of
S.
Poule
,
where
there
was
a
Castell
of
the
Emperours
called
Countie
,
in
the
whiche
was
a
bande
of
footemen
,
and
an
other
of
horsemen
,
who
daiely
skirmished
with
the
Englishe
horsemen
,
but
alwaies
the
losse
returned
to
the
Burgonions
side
:
and
capitain
Crayers
bande
gatte
greate
honoure
,
in
so
muche
that
the
borders
where
the
Englishemen
serued
,
stoode
in
as
good
securitie
,
as
though
a
nomber
of
other
bandes
had
been
there
,
to
haue
aided
the
Englishe
horsemen
.
In
deede
there
were
suche
soldiours
in
capitaine
Crayers
bande
(
the
Malbies
beeyng
as
then
ryng
leaders
emong
theim
)
as
hath
not
been
seen
seruyng
any
where
at
that
season
,
for
so
small
a
companie
,
and
so
greate
value
of
courage
and
conducte
.
From
this
place
this
bande
was
placed
in
garrison
at
Mottrell
(
where
mounsire
Vilboun
was
gouernour
)
at
whiche
toune
the
twoo
brethren
desired
the
leadyng
of
xxiiij
.
of
that
bande
,
and
wente
with
theim
twelue
leagues
into
the
Burgonion
Pale
,
to
a
riche
village
called
Drues
,
and
spoiled
the
same
of
all
their
cattell
and
riches
,
and
brought
awaie
from
thence
eight
rich
prisoners
,
and
at
the
requeste
of
the
Soldiours
in
Mottrell
,
those
prisoners
were
giuen
to
Mounsire
Bilboe
,
to
purchace
his
fauour
,
because
he
seemed
to
bee
angrie
,
for
the
burnyng
of
the
Abbey
of
S.
Poule
,
and
the
Frier
house
there
.
Now
at
the
same
tyme
when
this
bootie
was
gotten
,
and
brought
into
Motterell
,
thei
made
open
sale
of
the
preye
in
the
Market
place
,
and
the
soldiours
beeyng
of
the
old
garrison
in
the
Toune
,
bloshyng
at
the
boldnesse
of
the
Englishemen
,
and
disdainyng
their
well
dooyng
,
(
that
were
not
of
their
owne
nation
)
immediatlie
beganne
to
spoile
the
bootie
Maisters
,
and
by
force
thought
to
haue
reaped
the
laboures
of
others
,
that
better
deserued
.
Whereupon
the
Scottishemen
of
Armes
,
assembled
in
the
Markette
place
,
and
takyng
the
Englishe
mennes
parte
,
demaunded
wherefore
that
outrage
was
committed
,
and
saied
,
thei
would
not
suffer
suche
a
follie
to
goe
vnreuenged
:
For
the
whiche
cause
,
and
encouraging
of
good
men
,
Mounsire
Bilboe
tooke
order
in
the
matter
,
committyng
one
of
them
that
made
the
spoile
,
to
passe
the
shotte
of
the
Hargaboes
without
mercie
,
notwithstandyng
the
twoo
brethren
(
seeyng
that
Mounsire
Bilbowe
fauoured
so
muche
lawe
of
Armes
,
and
dissipline
of
warre
)
made
sute
for
the
pardon
of
the
offendour
,
by
whiche
sute
and
courtesie
of
theirs
,
thei
conquered
and
obtained
the
loue
of
al
the
Frenche
soldiours
,
whiche
amitie
after
did
them
as
greate
pleasure
,
as
their
present
pitie
,
was
a
thyng
to
be
liked
.
For
when
the
Englishemen
wente
to
any
seruice
,
the
Frenche
would
striue
to
see
who
could
bee
fauoured
moste
to
goe
in
their
companie
.
Suche
force
and
vertue
hath
mercie
,
and
gentilnesse
to
leade
the
hartes
of
people
euery
where
,
either
toward
seruice
,
or
any
other
hazarde
,
or
worthie
accion
,
that
the
remembrance
of
mercie
maie
reche
into
,
and
consider
of
.
The
Englishe
beeyng
commaunded
then
,
to
lye
in
the
borders
of
Picardie
of
season
(
at
their
owne
discretion
,
and
the
Countries
charge
)
were
after
sent
to
Bohayn
,
and
putte
there
in
garrison
,
where
was
a
Capitaine
called
Capitaine
Hearyng
,
with
a
valiaunt
bande
of
Gascoins
,
whiche
ioyned
with
the
Englishmen
,
and
made
many
iournies
and
roades
together
into
the
Burgonion
Pale
:
spoilyng
the
Countrie
,
and
puttyng
the
Burgonions
sondrie
tymes
to
the
worse
,
and
endamaged
the
countrie
so
muche
,
and
so
often
,
that
the
poore
people
complained
to
the
Emperour
,
of
their
Burgonion
capitaines
beyng
many
in
nomber
,
did
suffer
a
fewe
of
their
aduersaries
to
distresse
the
whole
Frontiers
.
Wherevpon
Mounsire
de
Fammey
then
capitain
of
Laundersey
(
seyng
the
Emperour
moued
with
this
incurssion
)
beganne
to
practise
by
all
the
meanes
he
might
,
to
ouerthrowe
the
Englishe
bande
,
either
by
pollicie
or
Treason
,
and
findyng
a
guide
that
alwaies
had
the
leading
of
the
English
,
when
thei
went
about
a
bootie
,
Mounsire
de
Fammey
infected
this
guide
with
a
fewe
Crounes
,
to
betraie
his
companie
,
and
in
the
meane
while
,
againste
the
daie
appoincted
,
Defammey
had
prepared
and
made
readie
a
thousande
horse
,
and
diuerse
bandes
of
footemen
,
to
entrappe
the
Englishe
soldiours
of
Bohain
.
The
daie
of
this
practise
and
murther
approchyng
,
and
all
thyng
in
readinesse
,
the
Burgonions
to
lye
in
waite
,
and
the
Englishe
to
issue
:
there
fell
a
debate
and
quarrell
betwene
twoo
Englishemen
(
the
one
called
Tuttell
,
and
the
other
Cheaston
)
whiche
faulyng
out
,
hindered
their
goyng
to
horse
,
and
detracted
tyme
,
in
so
muche
this
traitorous
guide
could
not
at
the
hower
appoincted
,
bryng
foorthe
the
Englishemen
,
nor
answere
the
expectation
of
the
Burgonions
,
and
so
the
Capitaine
of
Laundersey
mistrustyng
the
guide
had
deceiued
hym
,
brake
sodainly
into
the
countrey
,
and
fell
to
spoile
,
and
to
followe
their
moste
aduauntage
for
the
season
,
and
beeyng
many
in
nomber
,
did
muche
hurte
aboute
Gwyes
,
before
the
small
power
there
might
make
any
head
towardes
their
enemies
,
but
in
conclusion
,
the
Englishe
bande
(
though
but
a
fewe
of
them
,
were
at
that
presente
at
Bohayn
)
with
the
helpe
of
capitain
Hearyng
,
(
a
valiant
man
and
leader
of
the
Gascoins
)
sette
vpon
the
Burgonions
,
and
at
the
first
encounter
ouerthrew
so
many
Burgonions
,
that
the
residue
fledde
,
and
made
shifte
for
them selues
,
at
whiche
on
sette
and
couragious
charge
,
maister
Nicholas
Maelbie
was
sore
hurte
through
bothe
the
sides
,
and
one
Ihon
Daie
and
he
beeyng
by
seruice
drawen
from
their
companie
,
in
a
daungerous
place
and
plight
,
thei
tooke
greate
care
how
to
recouer
their
people
,
and
in
the
ende
to
escape
the
hazarde
,
Ihon
Daie
carried
maister
Malbie
on
his
backe
,
till
a
horsemanne
by
chaunce
happened
to
come
,
and
comforte
theim
both
.
Mounsire
Deffammey
by
meanes
of
a
blowe
that
Ned
Driuer
had
giuen
him
on
the
hedde
peece
,
was
faine
to
kepe
his
Beauer
doune
a
long
season
,
and
taried
al
a
whole
night
in
a
woodde
the
meane
while
.
A
none
after
this
bickeryng
,
the
Frenche
kyng
made
a
Proclamation
,
that
all
his
Garrisons
should
repaire
vnto
Reins
in
Schampanie
,
at
whiche
tyme
there
was
a
secrete
speache
of
battaile
,
betwene
the
Emperour
and
the
Frenche
kyng
,
for
the
whiche
cause
all
the
bandes
and
garrisons
that
might
be
made
,
with
greate
expedition
repaired
to
the
place
appoincted
for
the
fight
.
And
beyng
assembled
together
,
thei
encamped
,
and
so
the
Frenche
kyng
marched
towardes
Meattes
in
Lorraine
,
where
he
vsed
suche
pollicie
and
faire
speache
,
that
he
wanne
the
toune
(
without
bloodshed
)
tooke
the
Duke
of
Lorraine
,
and
sente
hym
safely
into
Fraunce
.
And
from
Meattes
the
kyng
marched
vnto
Speeres
in
Almaignie
,
where
he
had
a
certaine
masse
of
money
.
And
so
to
Stroseborough
,
the
kyng
giuyng
order
that
the
Englishe
horsemen
(
and
others
that
serued
as
vaunt
currours
)
should
ride
about
the
countrey
,
and
spoile
what
thei
thought
good
.
Maister
Nicholas
Malbie
beyng
left
at
sainct
Quintaines
,
to
bee
healed
of
his
hurte
as
you
haue
heard
:
had
his
brother
Ihon
Malbie
in
the
campe
with
the
Frenche
king
,
who
ioyned
an
other
gentleman
vnto
hym
called
George
Liell
,
and
thei
twoo
seekyng
aduentures
,
mette
twoo
gentlemen
Almaines
,
well
mounted
and
appointed
,
but
the
twoo
English
men
charged
them
,
and
tooke
them
prisoners
,
and
possessed
their
Borespeares
,
and
other
weapons
of
warre
.
But
George
Liell
hauyng
somewhat
to
amende
,
deliuered
his
prisonar
his
Borespeare
to
hold
,
because
he
could
not
hymself
amende
his
thinges
,
and
holde
his
Borespeare
at
that
instaunte
,
the
prisoner
seyng
his
aduauntage
,
thruste
the
Borespeare
vnder
the
armour
of
George
Lyell
,
and
so
slue
hym
,
he
giuyng
his
laste
gaspe
and
wofull
crie
,
made
maister
Ihon
Malbie
looke
behinde
hym
,
who
findyng
his
fellowe
dedde
,
ran
hastely
on
the
Almaine
,
and
in
that
charge
slewe
hym
,
and
so
forthwith
set
vppon
the
other
prisoner
with
like
determination
,
the
other
Almaine
fell
on
his
knees
and
asked
mercie
,
vppon
whiche
submission
he
was
saued
,
and
ledde
awaie
by
Ihon
Malbie
,
where
other
Englishemen
attended
to
heare
some
newes
.
And
hearyng
of
this
straunge
cace
,
thei
altogether
repaired
where
the
twoo
dedde
bodies
were
,
and
buried
them
bothe
,
as
the
tyme
and
place
did
permit
.
The
Frenche
Kyng
marchyng
from
Stroseborough
,
came
to
a
strong
toune
called
Domuiell
,
whiche
the
Kyng
besieged
,
and
the
assaulte
beyng
readie
to
be
giuen
,
the
capitaine
of
the
saied
toune
came
,
and
rendered
it
to
the
kynges
handes
▪
in
whiche
toune
was
left
a
sufficient
Garrison
.
And
the
Campe
retired
for
that
yere
,
and
broke
vp
at
Reines
in
Schampaine
,
where
the
kyng
paied
his
armie
for
fiue
Monethes
,
and
those
he
kepte
in
wages
,
were
commaunded
to
lye
in
Garrisons
,
the
Englishe
bande
was
appoincted
to
remaine
at
Abontton
,
fiue
leagues
from
Gwies
,
to
whiche
place
was
now
Maister
Nicholas
Malbie
come
,
and
there
the
twoo
brothers
shewed
suche
courtesie
to
a
gentleman
of
Yorkeshire
,
as
is
worthie
the
remembraunce
,
and
seldome
hath
been
seen
in
a
straunge
lande
,
and
harde
season
.
At
Abantton
were
many
honest
and
valiaunt
soldiours
Englishe
gentlemen
,
as
maister
Iames
Crues
,
Nedde
Driuer
,
Humfrey
Blont
,
and
a
nomber
of
others
that
accompanied
the
twoo
brethren
.
Whose
names
I
would
gladlie
shewe
,
because
those
gentlemen
did
suche
seruice
in
those
daies
,
(
and
beyonde
the
seas
)
as
thei
deserue
to
be
honoured
for
thesame
in
their
owne
Countrie
whiles
the
worlde
lasteth
,
but
hauyng
forgotte
moste
of
their
names
,
I
proceede
to
my
former
matter
.
From
Abantton
the
Englishe
bande
were
commaunded
to
lye
at
sainct
Quintains
,
where
liyng
but
a
season
,
thei
were
emploied
for
the
furnishyng
of
a
ronnyng
Campe
,
appoincted
to
marche
into
the
Countie
of
Saincte
Poule
,
and
in
this
exploite
Sainct
Poule
was
burnte
,
and
spoiled
,
and
many
villages
there
aboutes
brought
to
vtter
ruine
and
mischeef
.
The
Emperoure
to
reuenge
these
iniuries
,
sente
into
Fraunce
an
other
runnyng
Campe
,
entryng
at
Noua
Chatteau
,
and
did
muche
hurte
in
many
places
,
albeeit
the
Englishemen
were
so
often
in
the
skirtes
of
the
Burgonions
,
that
thei
could
not
doe
many
tymes
what
thei
intended
,
thei
were
by
the
Englishemen
kept
so
well
occupied
,
and
daiely
waited
on
.
The
Burgonions
beyng
thus
nettled
and
vexed
(
by
a
fewe
in
comparison
of
their
greate
nomber
)
began
politikely
to
woorke
,
and
so
laied
an
ambushment
,
to
entrappe
Capitaine
Crayer
and
his
bande
,
and
placyng
fiftie
Spanyardes
all
horsed
vppon
gallant
Genettes
,
to
breake
vppon
the
Englishe
horsemen
.
It
came
to
passe
by
occasion
of
seruice
,
that
sodainly
thei
brake
on
capitain
Crayer
,
who
wheelyng
about
for
his
moste
succour
,
had
not
his
horse
so
readie
,
as
he
was
disposed
to
tourne
him
,
and
there
withall
his
horse
stombled
,
and
fell
flatte
on
the
yearth
,
in
whiche
faule
Capitaine
Crayer
was
taken
,
and
the
residue
of
the
enemies
retired
towardes
their
ambushe
,
whiche
laye
a
league
from
the
place
,
where
capitaine
Crayer
was
taken
.
And
yet
vpon
aduisemeante
,
(
and
hope
of
good
happe
to
bee
gotten
,
by
some
hazard
presently
offred
,
)
the
Englishmen
grewe
so
warme
,
that
thei
had
the
enemie
in
chace
,
and
in
the
ende
the
broile
and
businesse
began
to
be
so
hotte
,
that
bothe
sides
were
Pell
Mell.
Ihon
Malbie
beyng
in
a
Swarffe
rotters
garmente
girded
on
his
armour
,
was
taken
to
bee
one
of
the
Spaniardes
owne
troupe
,
and
knowyng
hym self
not
farre
from
the
Englishe
companie
,
he
plucked
out
of
a
Spaniardes
handes
,
the
raines
of
his
horses
bridell
,
and
caried
hym
ouer
the
Brooke
perforce
,
where
was
one
of
the
Englishe
bande
,
that
challenged
halfe
of
the
bootie
,
and
stroue
so
for
that
was
not
his
owne
,
that
the
prisoner
lost
his
life
in
the
pleadyng
of
the
matter
.
Whiche
prisoner
had
he
been
voide
of
that
brabble
,
might
haue
paied
a
good
and
reasonable
raunsome
.
Now
on
the
takyng
of
capitaine
Crayer
,
was
capitaine
Clauers
his
lieutenaunt
made
leader
of
fiftie
horsemen
,
and
he
chose
maister
Nicholas
Malbie
his
lieutenaunt
,
vpon
the
erection
of
whiche
bande
,
or
immediatlie
after
the
Emperour
besieged
Heddyng
,
and
Capitaine
Clauers
bande
beeyng
commaunded
to
keepe
vppon
the
Frontires
,
happened
vpon
the
Prince
of
Oranges
bande
(
whiche
had
been
in
the
countrey
spoilyng
as
thei
might
)
and
findyng
the
Prince
of
Oranges
bande
in
a
maner
tired
,
set
on
them
so
couragiously
,
that
thei
gaue
them
the
chace
,
where
was
thirtie
or
fortie
prisoners
taken
,
and
maister
Nicholas
Malbie
tooke
a
gentleman
of
the
Princes
chamber
,
and
M.
Ihon
Sauage
tooke
another
of
the
Prince
of
Oranges
troup
,
whiche
were
well
vsed
,
and
suffered
on
their
faithe
to
goe
where
thei
would
,
shewyng
them selues
at
night
to
their
taker
.
But
twoo
of
the
worste
of
those
prisoners
stoale
awaie
,
and
their
fellowe
had
been
like
to
haue
been
straightly
handeled
therevppon
,
but
fauour
was
founde
,
and
he
sente
by
a
Trompette
to
the
Emperours
Campe
for
all
their
ransomes
whiche
was
but
quartarage
(
a
courtezie
then
vsed
emong
Soldiours
)
and
so
sone
as
the
Princes
gentilman
came
before
the
Prince
,
he
complained
of
his
companions
,
for
breakyng
of
their
faithe
:
for
whiche
cause
a
poste
was
presently
sette
vp
,
and
the
prisoners
lost
bothe
their
eares
on
the
same
post
,
and
after
thei
were
banished
the
Campe
for
euer
.
The
Prince
paied
all
their
raunsomes
,
and
giuyng
a
reward
of
tenne
crounes
to
the
Trompetor
,
sent
hym
safely
awaie
in
like
sorte
.
At
the
siege
of
Heddyng
Capitaine
Clauers
was
taken
prisoner
,
and
maister
Nicholas
Malbie
had
the
leadyng
of
al
his
men
,
and
hauyng
occasion
to
ride
to
Paris
,
he
lette
his
charge
to
his
brother
Ihon
till
he
retourned
:
His
brother
as
desirous
of
fame
as
any
other
(
after
he
and
his
bande
laye
awhile
at
Braie
vpon
some
ingarrison
)
made
many
rodes
into
the
Burgonion
pale
,
and
committed
greate
spoiles
.
Whiche
the
capitaine
of
Beawpawlme
sought
to
reuenge
.
And
vpon
a
Sondaie
at
Masse
tyme
in
the
mornyng
,
he
brake
into
the
Frontires
with
a
greate
troupe
of
horsemen
,
and
tooke
a
greate
bootie
from
the
toune
that
the
Englishemen
laye
in
,
whereon
there
was
a
larum
,
that
euery
man
in
all
haste
mounted
to
horse
,
and
followed
the
enemies
in
suche
a
furie
,
that
in
rescuyng
one
of
their
owne
people
,
the
enemies
were
betweene
some
of
the
Englishe
bande
and
the
toune
,
but
Ihon
Malbie
and
an
other
were
in
greatest
hazarde
,
for
thei
twoo
hauyng
taken
twoo
prisoners
,
were
faine
to
plucke
the
bridelles
ouer
the
horses
heddes
,
pricking
the
horses
in
the
buttockes
,
to
the
ende
the
enemies
might
bee
occupied
,
about
the
recouerie
of
their
owne
menne
.
And
when
the
prisoners
were
let
go
in
this
maner
,
thei
ventered
through
the
troupe
of
the
enemies
,
offeryng
their
Pistolles
from
one
to
an
other
,
till
thei
had
passed
through
the
thickest
and
at
the
laste
slue
one
,
and
ouerthrewe
an
other
,
and
tooke
the
third
prisoner
,
and
brought
hym
horse
and
man
into
the
toune
.
The
tounes
menne
and
nobilitie
(
emong
the
whiche
was
capitaine
Gordant
now
capitaine
of
Calice
)
beholdyng
this
boldenesse
,
aduertised
the
Frenche
kyng
of
the
seruice
,
who
rewarded
at
the
nexte
paie
daie
Ihon
Malbie
,
with
a
good
somme
of
money
.
For
that
a
kyng
would
not
forgette
suche
an
acte
,
nor
let
suche
seruice
eskape
vnrecompensed
.
The
nexte
Sondaie
(
after
this
businesse
rehersed
)
the
capitaine
Beauppawm
came
againe
with
a
troupe
of
fiue
hundreth
horsemen
,
and
a
regimente
of
three
thousande
footemenne
.
And
to
encounter
theim
marched
fiftie
Englishe
horsemen
,
and
as
many
others
of
the
Albanoies
(
whiche
serued
before
at
Bulleyn
)
with
a
fewe
gentlemen
of
Fraunce
,
puttyng
them selues
in
good
order
as
nere
as
thei
could
,
vnder
the
succour
of
the
greate
ordinaunce
of
the
toune
.
So
beyng
abroade
the
skirmishe
began
to
bee
so
hotte
,
that
no
one
of
the
Garrison
retourned
to
the
toune
,
without
his
Launce
broken
.
And
the
Albanoies
bande
serued
so
valiauntly
,
that
eche
of
them
brake
twoo
staues
vpon
the
enemies
,
in
which
hazard
and
couragious
seruice
,
their
lieutenaunt
was
taken
prisoner
.
But
an
Englisheman
called
Willyam
Spencer
,
seruyng
in
the
Albanoies
bande
,
beholdyng
his
lieutenaunt
taken
,
cried
a
charge
,
a
charge
,
and
therewith
all
flue
in
emong
his
aduersaries
so
furiouslie
,
and
fought
with
suche
courage
and
manhoode
,
that
he
set
the
lieutenaunt
at
libertie
,
and
so
recouered
the
toune
.
And
at
that
tyme
was
taken
fiue
horsemen
Burgonions
,
and
brought
to
the
toune
,
and
one
horseman
was
taken
awaie
prisoner
,
and
brought
to
Beuppaum
.
That
daie
capitain
Twettie
desired
Ihon
Malbie
,
to
goe
with
hym
into
the
feelde
a
foote
,
and
thei
hauyng
but
tenne
Pikes
,
and
one
and
twentie
shot
,
withstoode
fiftie
horsemen
,
and
slue
diuerse
of
them
,
the
Skottes
men
beholdyng
that
seruice
,
gaue
all
the
honour
of
that
daie
to
the
Englishe
nation
.
At
that
seruice
was
a
worthie
Capitaine
called
Gurdan
,
before
spoken
of
,
whose
bande
and
hymself
,
surmounted
the
reste
in
the
feelde
,
and
came
with
greate
glorie
to
the
toune
.
Now
the
whole
companie
that
serued
in
that
peece
,
assembled
them selues
together
and
deuised
,
how
to
reuenge
the
iniuries
at
twoo
seuerall
seasons
,
offered
to
them
by
the
Burgonions
:
and
concluded
that
all
the
Garrisons
nere
them
on
the
Frontires
,
should
meete
at
a
daie
appoincted
,
for
the
skalyng
of
Bauppaum
on
the
soddaine
.
And
in
the
meane
while
Ihon
Malbie
wente
towardes
Bauppaum
with
the
Englishe
band
,
and
tooke
with
hym
thirtie
or
fourtie
pound
of
matches
,
whiche
was
tied
vpon
cordes
and
lines
twentie
fadome
long
,
and
euery
mache
halfe
a
yarde
a
sonder
,
and
for
euery
line
was
twoo
stakes
prepared
breast
hye
,
to
bee
sette
in
the
grounde
when
the
matches
were
a
fire
.
The
night
beyng
darke
,
and
the
matches
beeyng
espied
(
after
thei
were
pitched
)
of
the
Soldiours
in
Baupaum
thei
tooke
alarum
,
and
the
Englishmen
that
deuised
this
mockerie
,
cried
skale
the
waules
,
and
so
priuily
stoale
awaie
,
but
thei
within
the
toune
of
Bauppaum
bent
all
their
ordinaunce
vpon
the
matches
,
and
shotte
at
them
all
the
night
after
,
pliyng
the
matches
with
small
shotte
in
like
sort
,
whiche
was
a
great
madnesse
and
follie
,
as
thei
them selues
confessed
.
When
thei
daie
appeared
and
made
theim
iudges
of
their
owne
ouersight
and
matter
mistaken
.
In
the
necke
of
this
,
but
three
nightes
after
thei
came
in
deede
,
with
their
whole
garrisons
vppon
the
Frontire
,
and
brought
Lathers
for
to
skale
the
waules
,
and
aproched
nere
the
toune
for
that
purpose
in
a
verie
darcke
night
,
and
in
passyng
good
order
,
but
the
Ladders
beyng
set
to
the
walles
,
as
secretly
as
might
bee
deuised
,
thei
were
faine
to
withdrawe
them
againe
,
because
thei
were
to
shorte
,
and
the
noyes
that
the
Ladders
made
awakened
the
watche
,
and
thereon
a
terrible
larum
began
in
the
toune
whiche
had
been
taken
,
if
the
Ladders
had
been
long
enough
.
For
thei
that
came
to
surprise
it
,
were
fiftene
thousande
footemen
,
and
twoo
thousande
horsemen
well
and
throughly
furnished
,
for
a
noble
enterprise
.
Whiche
power
disappointed
of
their
purpose
,
entered
the
countrey
,
burnyng
and
spoilyng
as
muche
as
thei
might
euery
waie
,
for
the
space
of
a
whole
daie
,
and
then
euery
one
retired
to
their
garrisons
,
from
whence
thei
repaired
before
.
And
within
a
shorte
season
after
,
the
Emperour
besieged
Mettes
in
Lorrain
with
a
greate
armie
,
the
Frenche
kyng
on
that
newes
sent
many
bandes
thether
,
emong
the
whiche
the
Englishe
bande
was
placed
twelue
leagues
from
Mettes
,
where
thei
daiely
annoied
their
enemies
,
and
sondrie
tymes
tooke
many
,
prisoners
and
spoiled
the
Forrengers
horses
,
and
other
necessaries
verie
often
,
and
grewe
so
riche
by
the
raunsomes
and
spoiles
thei
had
gotten
,
that
their
enemies
laied
many
a
staille
and
trappe
to
take
them
in
,
but
that
preuailed
not
.
For
their
Fortune
and
courage
brought
theim
through
many
daungers
,
and
made
them
as
muche
feared
,
as
their
were
spoken
of
,
and
more
spoken
of
,
then
tenne
tymes
so
greate
a
companie
.
The
siege
of
Mettes
continued
aboute
a
whole
yere
,
and
it
was
thought
that
there
laye
before
the
Toune
sixe
score
thousande
menne
in
paie
,
emong
whiche
nomber
was
suche
mortalitie
and
Plague
,
that
it
was
a
wonder
to
rehearse
it
.
For
thei
died
sometymes
twoo
thousande
a
daie
,
by
whiche
mischeef
and
miserie
,
the
Emperour
raised
his
Campe
,
and
yet
was
faine
to
leaue
in
cabbens
sicke
behinde
hym
,
twelue
or
thirteene
thousande
Almaines
,
whiche
could
not
marche
awaie
.
The
Duke
of
Gwies
beyng
generall
of
the
Toune
,
seeyng
those
poore
Soldiours
lefte
to
the
mercie
of
God
,
or
murther
that
manne
liste
to
commit
,
thought
it
not
fitte
to
put
them
to
the
sworde
.
And
so
vpon
aduice
and
sute
of
their
generall
thei
were
releeued
,
and
as
many
as
liued
,
were
sent
home
without
raunsome
:
whiche
courtesie
of
the
Duke
of
Gwise
,
was
well
remembred
and
requited
ten
yeres
after
this
.
For
some
saie
that
those
Almaines
seruyng
the
Prince
of
Condie
,
at
the
battell
of
Drues
,
when
thei
sawe
the
Gwise
,
thei
caste
doune
their
Pikes
,
keepyng
their
promised
vowe
,
whiche
was
neuer
to
beare
armes
in
feelde
againste
hym
:
that
had
saued
their
liues
,
and
dooen
them
so
greate
a
good
tourne
at
Mettes
.
The
siege
of
Mettes
beyng
raised
,
as
you
haue
heard
,
the
Englishe
bande
was
commaunded
to
lye
in
Picardy
,
where
the
Duke
of
Vandome
was
lieutenaunt
,
who
heard
that
the
Emperoure
was
commyng
towardes
Amiance
with
a
puissaunt
power
,
and
to
encounter
hym
the
Duke
reised
as
many
soldiours
as
he
might
,
and
so
kepte
the
Frontires
till
the
Emperours
power
came
,
and
shewed
them selues
with
in
twoo
leagues
of
the
Citie
of
Amiance
:
then
greate
was
the
Alarum
,
and
euery
man
to
horse
,
and
a
maruelous
braue
companie
issued
out
of
the
toune
to
giue
battaill
,
and
trie
the
vttermoste
of
Fortune
.
And
so
well
thei
agreed
together
,
and
were
so
gallauntlie
disposed
,
that
one
of
them
swore
to
an
other
,
neuer
to
departe
without
blood
,
nor
neuer
to
retourne
again
into
the
toune
,
without
doyng
of
some
exploit
.
The
Emperoures
power
were
in
like
disposion
,
and
so
the
Trompettes
on
bothe
sides
sounded
,
as
heauen
and
yearth
should
haue
ioyned
together
.
Then
the
Englishe
bande
prouoked
the
skirmishe
,
and
so
the
bloodie
broile
began
hotter
and
hotter
,
in
so
muche
that
the
horsemen
ioyned
,
and
came
to
hande
strokes
,
where
many
a
Launce
was
broken
,
and
many
a
man
laie
grouelyng
on
the
ground
,
some
vnder
their
horses
,
and
some
striken
from
their
horses
backes
,
suche
was
the
terrour
of
the
tyme
and
furie
of
the
fight
.
And
Mounsire
Dangwion
brother
to
the
Duke
Vandome
loste
no
tyme

Mounsire
Benyngcourtes
bande

or
Mounsire
Derues

The
Prince
of
Condie
and
Duke
D'onmall
charged
on
the
Duke
Deaskot
and
Mounsire
Demberies
bandes
,
and
withall
came
in
the
residue
of
the
Frenche
and
Burgonion
companies
,
and
stoode
so
manfully
to
their
businesse
,
that
the
conflicte
on
bothe
sides
was
greate
,
and
the
victorie
hanged
long
in
ballaunce
,
in
so
muche
it
was
doubtfull
to
whether
partie
good
Fortune
would
fall
,
but
in
fine
the
Burgonions
fledde
towardes
the
woodde
,
where
all
their
force
of
footemen
stoode
,
and
in
that
encounter
and
bloodie
fight
,
the
Prince
of
Pianoyes
was
smored
to
death
in
his
armour
,
the
Duke
of
Askotte
compelled
to
creepe
,
and
lye
in
a
woodde
all
night
,
where
the
Peisantes
on
the
morrowe
tooke
him
,
and
fifteene
hundreth
prisoners
more
were
ledde
awaie
with
the
Duke
by
the
Frenchemen
.
And
when
the
vieue
was
made
at
their
returne
to
Amiance
of
their
losse
,
the
Frenchemen
missed
many
of
their
owne
people
(
especily
of
the
Citie
)
and
many
by
meane
of
their
valiauncie
,
were
come
home
sore
wounded
,
mangled
,
and
out
of
hope
to
liue
any
long
season
,
the
fight
had
been
so
daungerous
and
cruel
,
that
fewe
whiche
were
desirous
of
fame
,
escaped
skotfree
from
the
conflicte
.
The
Emperour
not
long
after
this
broile
,
gathered
his
people
together
,
and
came
to
Vallencian
with
a
great
army
:
but
the
French
kyng
gathered
in
a
maner
suche
a
multitude
of
soldious
(
wherein
was
muche
Nobilitie
)
that
it
was
gessed
his
Campe
was
at
the
leaste
fiftie
thousande
horsemen
and
footemen
,
and
hymself
in
persone
noblie
mounted
,
marched
towardes
Valencian
,
where
he
founde
the
Emperoure
entrenched
,
and
passyng
before
the
Emperour
with
his
vawwarde
(
wherein
was
sixe
thousande
horsemen
,
and
twentie
thousande
footemen
)
the
Frenche
kyng
presented
the
Emperour
battall
,
who
had
out
of
his
trenche
certaine
Spanishe
and
Italian
horsemen
,
with
a
small
troupe
of
Launces
,
on
the
whiche
companie
the
Frenchemen
offered
skirmishe
,
and
the
skirmishe
grewe
so
hotte
,
that
a
charge
was
giuen
,
wherein
was
prisoners
taken
at
the
verie
entrie
of
the
trenches
,
so
that
the
Emperoures
power
beeyng
not
twentie
thousande
,
were
faine
to
tarrie
in
their
Trenches
all
that
season
.
The
Frenche
kyng
seeyng
this
,
and
commyng
from
his
maine
battaile
on
a
barbed
horse
,
with
a
goodlie
troupe
of
braue
gentlemen
,
made
no
more
a
dooe
,
but
shewed
hym self
in
the
feelde
,
and
marched
so
awaie
,
makyng
his
waweward
his
rereward
,
and
his
maine
battaile
his
waweward
,
yet
I
maie
not
forgette
that
sondrie
in
his
companie
were
hurte
,
emong
the
whiche
M.
Nicholas
Malbies
horse
(
a
bastarde
courser
)
was
shotte
through
the
necke
,
and
in
at
the
reines
of
the
backe
behinde
the
saddell
,
whiche
horse
when
he
was
whole
,
was
giuen
to
the
lorde
Grey
of
Wilton
,
then
lieutenaunt
of
Gynes
.
Now
the
Emperour
bearyng
in
minde
,
the
braue
offer
the
Frenche
kyng
had
made
,
as
here
before
is
expressed
,
he
sent
Mounsire
graunde
Maister
,
as
generall
of
a
greate
armie
,
to
besiege
Torwain
shortly
after
(
a
toune
of
greate
momente
,
and
well
fortified
)
to
whiche
siege
(
so
soone
as
the
Frenche
heard
of
it
)
was
sente
Memorancie
that
now
is
liuyng
,
to
assiste
Mounsire
Dessie
then
capitaine
of
Torwain
,
a
man
of
greate
vallue
,
for
the
same
Dessie
was
before
generall
of
all
the
Frenchemen
,
that
besieged
Sir
Iames
Wilforde
at
Haddyngton
in
Scotlande
.
Now
Mounsire
Memorancie
bryngyng
with
hym
diuers
gentlemen
(
for
the
aidyng
of
Mounsire
Dessie
in
Torwain
)
determined
to
dooe
some
good
seruice
,
and
the
Frenche
kyng
in
the
meane
while
leauied
thirtie
thousande
men
,
to
remoue
the
siege
if
it
were
possible
,
or
at
least
to
releeue
the
toune
in
some
sorte
,
as
the
tyme
would
suffer
.
Where
vpon
diuers
capitaines
and
gentlemen
requested
,
that
thei
might
be
the
firste
that
should
enter
the
toune
,
emong
whiche
was
M.
Nicholas
Malbie
,
the
kyng
graunted
their
requeste
,
and
prepared
pouder
in
bagges
,
and
other
munition
for
them
to
carrie
with
them
,
that
toke
this
enterprise
in
hand
,
thus
one
Humfrey
Hassock
and
a
gentleman
called
Ihon
Griffin
,
with
twoo
other
called
Poell
and
Kockes
,
ioyned
with
three
score
Frenchemen
(
M.
Nicholas
Malbie
beeyng
with
theim
)
and
passed
through
the
Emperoures
Campe
with
greate
hazarde
,
and
so
entered
Torwain
,
whiche
gaue
no
little
comforte
to
them
that
were
besieged
.
Then
vppon
the
hope
of
the
kynges
commyng
and
other
causes
,
thei
sallied
daiely
out
of
the
toune
,
and
did
often
annoye
the
Burgonions
Campe
.
And
one
daie
the
watche
espiyng
a
bande
of
footemen
liyng
louse
from
their
succoure
,
vnder
a
banke
,
gaue
warnyng
thereof
to
the
capitaine
of
the
toune
,
who
sent
on
the
spurre
the
Frenche
horsemen
,
to
giue
charge
vppon
them
.
And
maister
Malbie
espiyng
when
he
came
neare
them
,
that
thei
were
Englishemen
seruyng
the
Emperours
side
,
badde
theim
goe
awaie
,
or
els
thei
should
be
cutte
all
in
peeces
:
Goe
awaie
that
is
aferde
saied
Nicholas
Sibbill
,
a
valiaunte
gentleman
:
The
Alarum
then
was
giuen
,
and
the
Frenche
footemen
approched
,
and
so
capitain
Sibbell
was
slaine
,
and
sondrie
others
of
his
companie
defeated
,
and
Humfrey
Hassocke
hauyng
a
redde
dubblet
,
was
taken
to
bee
a
Burgonion
,
and
so
vnhorsed
.
But
M.
Malbie
seyng
his
seruaunt
in
daunger
to
bee
slaine
succoured
hym
,
by
a
charge
he
gaue
on
those
that
would
haue
killed
his
man
,
and
brought
his
seruaunt
to
the
toune
with
muche
a
doe
,
the
soldiours
on
the
walles
beholdyng
thesame
,
commended
the
acte
verie
muche
.
Thus
euery
second
or
third
daie
thei
sallued
out
,
and
slue
in
the
feelde
and
in
the
trenches
many
soldiours
,
but
still
the
Englishemen
gatte
greate
praise
,
for
their
stoute
and
desperate
aduentures
.
The
Capitaine
of
the
toune
walkyng
on
the
walles
,
and
notyng
how
busilie
the
Canons
went
of
against
the
breach
,
came
doune
and
deuised
that
bothe
horsemen
and
footemen
,
should
sodainly
make
a
sallie
out
of
the
toune
,
and
so
thei
did
,
but
though
the
Campe
semed
to
bee
quiet
,
and
did
nothyng
but
plie
the
Batterie
,
thei
were
well
prouided
to
resiste
the
force
of
the
Frenche
,
and
at
their
issuyng
out
,
there
was
a
verie
greate
skirmishe
.
And
an
Almaine
beeyng
an
armed
Pike
,
marched
brauely
out
of
the
Campe
vpon
some
lustie
conceipte
,
vnto
whom
rode
maister
Nicholas
Malbie
,
and
brake
his
staffe
on
hym
,
and
so
the
Almaine
was
slaine
.
For
whiche
seruice
Mounsire
Memorancie
,
and
the
Capitain
of
the
Toune
came
and
embraced
hym
when
he
retourned
,
and
gaue
hym
bothe
a
reward
,
and
thankes
for
his
labour
.
But
after
this
toune
was
helde
so
shorte
,
that
the
soldiours
could
issue
no
more
,
for
a
generall
assaulte
was
daiely
looked
for
,
and
the
breache
beyng
assaultable
,
the
Burgonions
attempted
the
assaulte
,
Capitaine
Gonnie
hauyng
the
leadyng
thereof
(
with
whom
I
was
in
wages
)
but
capitain
Gonnies
bande
and
all
the
reste
were
repulsed
,
to
their
greate
rebuke
and
losse
,
notwithstandyng
an
other
assaulte
was
a
preparyng
for
,
and
the
greate
shotte
went
of
so
fast
,
that
thei
within
the
toune
were
faine
to
holde
in
their
heddes
,
a
great
tyme
.
But
Mounsire
Dessie
aduaunsyng
hym self
a
little
to
hye
,
(
for
to
discouer
the
meanyng
of
his
enemies
)
was
striken
in
the
hedde
with
a
little
shotte
,
and
yeeldyng
vp
the
ghost
,
spake
certaine
manly
wordes
,
and
so
fell
doune
dedde
.
Then
the
toune
was
somewhat
discouraged
,
and
came
to
a
composition
,
howbeit
a
midde
the
Parley
,
the
Spaniardes
brake
into
the
toune
,
and
did
muche
mischeef
,
yet
the
composition
was
,
that
all
of
the
Toune
,
of
what
degree
so
euer
thei
were
should
become
prisoners
,
because
thei
abode
the
assault
and
stoode
so
long
in
their
defence
,
against
a
mightie
power
and
shotte
of
the
Cannon
.
Maister
Nicholas
Malbie
was
prisoner
to
a
Spaniard
,
for
whose
raunsome
capitain
Matson
(
a
honest
Englishe
gentleman
)
was
aunswerable
,
and
so
maister
Malbie
retourned
to
Muttrell
,
where
the
Duke
of
Vandome
embrased
hym
,
and
tooke
hym
to
the
Frenche
Courte
,
who
beeyng
there
presented
to
the
Frenche
Kyng
,
was
muche
made
of
by
the
Dukes
meanes
,
and
bountifully
rewarded
without
suyng
for
thesame
(
as
good
soldiours
bee
in
many
places
,
)
and
so
he
was
sente
to
Braye
againe
to
lye
in
Garrison
there
,
till
thei
were
remoued
to
Amiance
.
And
when
the
whole
bande
was
come
thether
,
the
Countrey
furnished
maister
Malbies
soldiours
with
all
kinde
of
victuall
,
by
the
kynges
commaundement
.
The
Spryng
commyng
on
,
all
the
Frenche
Garrisons
,
and
Englishe
Soldiours
were
commaunded
,
to
make
their
repaire
to
sainct
Quintaines
,
where
the
Kyng
assembled
his
power
,
and
marched
into
Henault
,
where
he
tooke
a
Toune
called
Synnie
,
and
from
thence
went
and
besieged
Marryngbrough
,
a
verie
strong
toune
,
whiche
was
yeelded
vnto
hym
within
fourtene
daies
:
A
garrison
of
the
Gascoins
was
lefte
therein
,
and
the
Campe
marched
to
a
Castell
called
Denouanter
.
In
whiche
Castell
Iullian
Romero
was
,
and
had
with
hym
fiue
hundred
Spaniardes
,
and
as
many
Almains
that
valiauntly
defended
it
,
in
so
muche
that
there
was
diuers
bandes
and
Capitaines
,
that
refused
to
assault
the
saied
Castell
.
The
kyng
hearyng
thereof
,
called
those
capitaines
and
bandes
before
hym
:
and
caused
them
to
be
degrated
,
and
committed
them
to
the
Spade
and
Mattocke
(
whiche
is
as
much
dishonor
as
a
soldior
maie
suffer
)
but
there
was
great
sute
made
by
the
Duke
of
Vandome
and
the
nobilitie
,
for
to
restore
them
to
their
honour
againe
.
Whiche
suite
the
Kyng
would
not
heare
,
nor
giue
any
grace
vnto
.
The
companie
degrated
on
knees
,
besought
the
kyng
that
thei
might
goe
and
winne
their
credite
againe
at
the
assault
:
The
kyng
hardlie
graunted
that
,
but
seeyng
thei
sought
to
serue
,
and
doe
their
duetie
,
the
kyng
badde
theim
make
newe
blacke
Ensignes
,
and
saied
,
suche
as
could
winne
their
old
Armes
by
manhod
,
at
their
retourne
from
the
assaulte
,
thei
should
be
restored
to
their
first
degree
of
honour
.
Wherevpon
the
assault
was
giuen
,
and
verie
many
of
those
men
made
there
,
their
laste
seruice
for
euer
,
but
their
manlinesse
and
furious
approche
,
was
occasion
that
the
Castell
was
rendered
shortly
after
to
the
kyng
,
and
suche
as
retourned
from
that
assaulte
,
were
muche
made
of
againe
,
and
grewe
in
greate
fauour
with
other
soldiours
euer
after
.
The
Castell
beyng
randered
,
Capitaine
Iullian
marched
Ensigne
displaied
,
armor
and
weapon
,
bagge
and
baggage
,
(
with
Wagons
for
their
hurte
men
)
and
so
he
and
his
soldiours
,
were
conueyed
saffely
to
Mowns
in
Henaulte
,
where
Iullian
made
the
Wagomers
greate
cheare
,
and
gaue
them
good
rewardes
.
Within
three
daies
after
,
the
Castell
was
vndermined
and
blowen
vp
,
and
the
Campe
marched
from
thence
to
Cambraie
,
where
the
Emperour
was
with
a
greate
Camp
,
whiche
Campe
laye
within
three
leages
of
the
Freche
kynges
,
in
a
night
before
the
kyng
marched
forwarde
,
so
that
there
was
Alarum
giuen
to
the
kynges
Campe
,
and
many
issued
out
to
the
skirmishe
,
in
whiche
skirmishe
albeeit
it
was
hotte
,
maister
Nicholas
Malbie
beyng
vnarmed
,
tooke
an
armed
man
from
his
companie
,
and
brought
hym
prisoner
into
the
Frenche
Campe
.
In
that
season
D.
Wotton
was
Embassador
in
France
for
Queene
Marie
,
who
commaunded
all
the
Englishemen
to
retire
home
,
or
serue
the
Emperour
:
The
twoo
brothers
hearyng
of
that
Proclamation
,
toke
their
leaue
of
Fraunce
,
and
came
to
the
Emperour
,
who
gaue
them
fiftie
crounes
a
peece
euery
Monethe
,
and
so
waited
on
the
Emperour
,
to
raise
the
siege
of
Renttie
,
where
the
Frenche
king
had
laine
three
weekes
before
,
with
fourtie
thousande
menne
,
and
had
battered
it
verie
sore
,
and
was
likely
to
haue
wonne
it
,
had
not
the
Emperour
prepared
to
giue
the
Frenche
kyng
battaile
,
and
come
thether
in
tyme
.
But
the
Frenche
kynges
fourtie
thousande
,
might
not
fight
with
sixe
score
thousande
.
And
yet
the
Frenche
kyng
shotte
of
his
Batterie
,
in
the
full
hearyng
of
the
Emperour
,
and
would
not
withdrawe
neuer
a
peece
of
his
ordinaunce
from
the
breach
,
although
the
Emperours
Campe
came
in
a
merueilous
brauerie
,
and
approched
nere
vnto
Renttie
.
The
Batterie
was
so
plied
,
that
it
went
of
from
Sunne
risyng
to
Sunne
sette
,
and
neuer
seased
,
whiche
made
the
Emperours
Soldiours
meruell
,
and
therefore
the
soner
to
shewe
some
noble
seruice
.
Notwithstandyng
,
for
fourteene
daies
the
Batterie
seased
not
,
these
twoo
Princely
Campes
liyng
all
that
while
,
within
one
league
of
an
other
,
a
meruell
of
the
worlde
how
suche
a
sorte
of
people
,
could
bee
so
long
kept
a
sonder
.
Then
Martine
van
Rous
an
Almaine
,
seruyng
with
fifteene
thousande
soldiours
,
saied
to
the
Emperour
,
it
was
a
greate
scorne
,
to
see
his
enemies
lye
so
nere
hym
in
quiet
,
on
whiche
speeches
Martin
van
Rous
was
sente
,
to
ioyne
with
the
Duke
of
Sauoye
,
and
many
Spaniard
and
Italian
bandes
,
and
so
to
sette
vppon
the
Frenchemen
,
that
laye
in
a
woodde
betwene
Renttie
and
the
Emperours
Campe

on

whiche

The
Duke
of
Sauoye
with
certain
bandes
of
horse
men
and
footemen
,
accompanied
with
Martin
van

,
and

the
combate
,
or
giue
the
assaulte
to
the
peece
,
that
so
long
he
had

.
The
Englishe
and
Scottes
horsemen
that
serued
the
Frenche
kyng
,
were
in
a
troupe
together
in
a
valley
,
where
thei
prouoked
the

The
Barron
of
Kyrtton
who
was
a
moste
valliaunte
gentilman
,
charged
vpon
a
bande
of
Spaniardes
horsemen
,
and
cleane
defeatted
theim
.
The
Count
da
Horne
seeyng
that
slaughter
and
ouerthrowe
,
charged
the
Barron
of
Kyrttons
bande
,
(
whiche
was
a
little
out
of
order
,
by
meane
of
their
furie
)
and
so
ran
through
them
euery
man
,
as
though
thei
had
been
a
fewe
children
in
his
waie
.
Suche
is
the
aduauntage
of
disorder
,
who
wiselle
can
take
it
.
In
whiche
charge
the
noble
Barron
was
taken
prisoner

and
brought

to
the
Count
de
Horne
,
the

hym
tooke
out

and
presented
the
shotte

,
but
he
was
so
well
armed
,
that

could
not
enter

The
Barron
beholdyng
by
this
outragious
deede
a
bloodie
murtheryng
mynde
craued
mercie
,
and
told
the
Count
that
he
was

man
,
and
would
giue

who
answered
,
that
he
should
haue
a
noble
death
,
because
he
should
bee
killed
at
a
noble
mannes
handes
,
and
with
that
woorde
slue
hym
,
whiche
was
against
all
ciuill
order
,
or
lawe
of
Armes
,
but
note
what
followed
.
The
Duke
Domale
in
the
ende
of
this
crueltie
and
encounter
,
charged
the
Count
de
Hornes
bande
(
with
a
braue
companie
of
men
at
Armes
)
and
ouerthrewe
moste
of
the
Count
de
Hornes
people
,
and
defeitted
them
all
,
or
carried
them
awaie
prisoners
with
hym
.
And
in
that
charge
giuen
,
there
was
a
companie
of
Frenche
footemen
,
whiche
sette
vpon
the
Spaniardes
and
Italians
in
the
woodde
,
and
draue
theim
out
of
the
same
,
and
possessed
the
woodde
againe
,
to
the
greate
discourage
of
the
other
partie
:
whiche
Frenchemen
entrenched
them selues
in
the
saied
woodde
,
as
surely
as
thei
could
.
The
Englishe
and
Scottes
men
beeyng
well
mounted
,
and
desirous
of
some
honour
,
beholdyng
what
good
successe
the
Duke
had
founde
,
by
the
valliaunt
charge
he
had
giuen
.
Thei
sodainely
brake
vppon
van
Rousis
Launceknightes
,
with
a
greate
shoute
and
crie
,
who
amased
at
the
noyse
(
and
afferde
of
the
charge
)
flang
doune
their
weapons
,
and
betoke
them
to
their
feete
:
whiche
ouersight
,
and
feblenesse
of
spirit
in
theim
,
was
occasion
of
a
greate
slaughter
.
For
when
the
Englishe
and
Scottes
horsemen
,
were
a
wearie
of
killyng
the
poore
Almaines
,
thei
tooke
prisoners
some
one
man
ten
,
or
twelue
a
peece
,
as
was
crediblie
reported
.
So
that
in
a
maner
moste
of
all
van
Rousis
Ensignes
were
troden
vppon
,
or
taken
from
them
that
carried
them
.
The
Emperour
was
somewhat
moued
at
this
misfortune
,
and
determined
the
nexte
daie
in
the
Mornyng
,
to
giue
the
Frenche
kyng
battaill
.
The
Frenche
kyng
on
that
victorie
,
sent
a
Harralde
of
Armes
with
a
Trompet
to
the
Emperour
,
declaryng
vnto
hym
,
that
within
fower
and
twentie
howres
,
he
would
meete
hym
in
the
feelde
.
For
whiche
message
the
Herralde
had
a
good
rewarde
,
and
the
Emperour
was
glad
,
that
so
honourable
an
acte
as
was
offered
,
should
ende
the
quarrell
betwene
the
Frenche
kyng
and
him
.
The
fame
night
beyng
well
spent
,
and
thynges
in
order
for
battaill
,
the
Emperour
caused
the
Drommes
and
Trompettes
to
sounde
,
and
strike
a
marche
to
the
feelde
:
for
that
he
would
by
the
breake
of
the
daie
,
behold

enemies

.
The
Frenche
Kyng
beeyng
a
beaten
Soldiour
with
many
daungerous
seruices
,
(
and
lookyng
into
the
daunger
of
an
exstreme
fight
,
for
a
wearied
armie
)
tooke
compassion
on
his
ouerlaboured
menne
of

,
that
had
lyen
in
the
open
feelde
all
that
yere
,
and
so
without
sounde
of
Dromme
,
or

noyes
makyng
,
he
retired

Batterie
,
caused
his
footemen
to

quietly
towardes
Muttrell
(
whiche
thei
recouered
before
the

And

The

attendyng
on
certaine

,
happened
with

and

The
Emperour
liyng

,
caused

,
and

of
Sauoye
(
beyng
his

)
to
make
his
repaire
to
Heddyng
with
his
whole
Campe
.
Where
he
made
a
verie
strong
Toune
,
and
there
was
not

in
that
Campe
,
but
for
to
giue
good
example
,
putte
once
a
daie

.
And
euery
soldiour
had
a
double
paie
,
so
long
as
the

was

where
there
was

The

seyng

,
desirous
of

or
glad

:
fell

,
the

and
did
request

:
the

could
finde

in
a
rude
maner
,
that
if
he
were
not
a
Lieutenaunte
generall
ouer
hym
,
he
should
not
put
his

to
death
,
the
Duke
made
no
more
a
doe
,
but
tooke
out
a
Pistolet
that
was
bente
,
and
discharged
it
vpon
the
noble

,
and
so
slue

The

and
Roiters
therevpon
armed
them selues
,
and
put
them

.
The
Spaniardes
,
Italians
,
and
Burgonions
presently
repaired
to
the
Dukes

.
The
Prince
of
Orrange
and
many
other
noble
personages
,
came
betwene
the
twoo
powers
,
and
made
a
peace
,
and
so
the
businesse
ended
,
whiche
at
the
beginnyng
,
was
like
to
haue
come
to
a
greate
flaughter
and
bloodshed
.
Now
for
the
better
contentation
of
the
Almaines
,
there
was
a
roade
made
vnto
Muttrell
,
and
twentie
thousande
Almaines
appointed
to
bee
at
the
winnyng
of
the
bootie
,
where
was
a
greate
skirmishe
prouoked
,
and
at
that
tyme
Capitaine
Steukeleis
horse
was
killed
vnder
hym
,
when
he
gaue
a
valliaunt
charge
on
his
enemies
.
There
was
a
challenge
made
by
the
Frenchmen
,
for
the
breakyng
of
certaine
Launces
for
their
mestresse
sakes
.
To
aunswere
the
chalenge
went
a
Portugall
,
a
greate
companion
with
the
Duke
of
Sauoye
,
and
one
capitaine
Tother
an
Albanoies
(
sometyme
seruyng
in
Englande
)
was
an
other
.
And
the
thirde
was
a
gentleman
called
Ambrose
Digbie
,
who
encountred
a
valliaunt
horseman
named
Petro
Strose
,
and
thei
brake
bothe
the
one
vpon
the
other
:
Ambrose
Digbies
horse
was
somewhat
strong
hedded
,
and
bare
his
Maister
awaie
into
the
Frenche
troupe
,
where
the
Duke
Denamoures
courteoussie
asked
hym
,
if
any
thing
were
amisse
in
his
armour
,
in
purpose
to
amende
it
,
(
yet
the
Duke
was
a
greate
freende
to
Petro
Strose
,
for
Strose
was
his
Lieutenaunt
)
Ambrose
Digbie
aunswered
,
that
all
was
well
,
and
gaue
the
Duke
and
the
gentlemen
greate
thankes
for
their
courtesie
,
and
so
gallowped
to
the
other
side
at
his
pleasure
.
Petro
Strose
in
like
sorte
went
backe
againe
to
his
owne
companie
.
For
capitain
Tother
was
not
so
fortunate
that
daie
as
couragious
:
for
he
ranne
thre
courses
one
after
an
other
,
and
could
not
breake
,
and
the
Frenchman
that
ran
against
hym
,
brake
euery
course
his
lance
,
the
reasons
was
,
why
capitain
Tother
brake
not
,
alwaies
at
the
couchyng
of
the
Launce
,
his
horse
flang
out
,
whiche
moued
the
gentleman
very
muche
and
for
whiche
foule
condition
,
he
gaue
the
horse
immediately
awaie
.
The
Portugall
beyng
brauely
horsed
vpon
a
baye
courser
,
had
not
worse
happe
then
courage
.
For
he
brake
full
in
the
face
of
the
●eue●
,
it
was
thought
that
he
that
ranne
against
hym
,
was
the
Barron
of
Burnasell
,
who
brake
in
like
maner
alwaies
vpon
the
Portugall
.
In
the
meane
tyme
there
was
diuerse
bandes
,
that
had
gotten
a
greate
bootie
,
and
spoile
in
the
Countrey
,
whiche
contented
muche
the
Almaines
,
who
with
their
spoile
and
bootie
,
were
retired
to
the
campe
,
whereof
intelligence
beyng
giuen
to
the
Duke
,
he
caused
a
retraite
to
bee
sounded
,
and
euery
man
marched
forward
to
the
Campe
.
But
the
Frenche
waited
on
them
,
and
skirmished
all
the
waie
,
where
good
seruice
was
to
bee
seen
on
bothe
sides
,
so
thei
departed
the
one
side
to
the
Campe
,
and
the
other
side
to
Muttrell
.
When
thei
were
in
the
campe
,
and
the
Duke
in
his
Pauillion
at
supper
,
there
was
greate
commendation
giuen
to
the
Portugall
,
for
the
beste
dooer
that
daie
,
he
hearyng
his
owne
praise
,
replied
and
saied
,
he
should
but
flatter
hymself
,
to
beleeue
that
reporte
to
be
true
,
since
all
men
might
see
the
Englishe
gentleman
ranne
with
the
greatest
Launce
,
and
brake
moste
fairest
,
and
especially
,
because
he
ranne
againste
Petro
Strose
,
who
was
counted
to
be
one
of
the
valliauntest
gentlemen
of
Fraunce
:
so
with
this
and
suche
like
talke
,
thei
rose
from
the
table
.
When
this
Toune
called
newe
Heddyng
was
finished
,
there
was
lefte
in
the
same
a
verie
greate
Garrison
,
bothe
of
Burgonions
and
Almaines
,
and
then
the
Campe
was
dispersed
,
and
many
soldiours
cashed
,
and
put
out
of
wages
.
Wherevppon
the
twoo
brothers
,
thought
to
make
their
repaire
into
Englande
,
to
whiche
place
the
Duke
of
Sauoye
was
goyng
,
and
so
with
hym
thei
came
ouer
,
and
attended
on
hym
three
Monethes
,
and
came
againe
to
the
seruice
of

,
where

mette

,
who
said

had
loste
his

,
vppon
that
newes
maister
Malbie
caused
all
his
companie
to
retourne
,
and
make
haste
to
ouertake
the
Frenche
,
whiche
thei
ouertooke
at
the
tournepike
,
and
so
sharpely
dealt
with
them
,
that
the
Gydon
was
recouered
againe
,
by
maister
Malbies
owne
hande
,
who
brought
it
hym self
,
and
deliuered
it
vnto
George
Broughton
,
that
gaue
hym
greate
thankes
therefore
.
Maister
Broughton
caused
the
Lorde
Lieutenaunte
,
to
promise
maister
Malbie
a
recompence
for
this
bolde
attempte
,
and
diuerse
noble
men
commended
the
seruice
,
vpon
the
report
of
suche
as
sawe
it
.
The
next
daie
the
Campe
remoued
to
Samedeboyes
,
and
so
toward
Sainct
Quintaines
,
where
kyng
Phillip
was
besiegyng
the
toune
,
with
a
mightie
Armie
,
whiche
had
ouerthrowen
moste
of
the
nobilitie
of
Fraunce
,
that
came
to
succour
sainct
Quintaines
,
and
the
Englishe
Campe
beyng
before
the
toune
,
was
appointed
to
set
out
certaine
bandes
,
for
the
goyng
to
the
assault
,
emong
whiche
was
one
Capitaine
Vaughan
,
who
came
to
a
freende
of
his
,
and
desired
of
all
freendshipp
,
(
and
for
old
acquaintaunce
sake
)
to
light
of
his
horse
,
and
goe
with
hym
to
the
saulte
.
Now
in
good
faithe
saied
Nicholas
Malbie
,
though
horsemen
neuer
come
to
the
breache
,
with
my
freende
I
will
either
winne
the
Spurres
,
or
loose
the
Saddle
,
and
so
a
lighted
,
and
went
with
maister
Vaughan
(
hauyng
firste
procured
licence
of
the
Lorde
lieutenaunt
)
to
the
assault
,
where
the
enemies
were
readie
to
defende
their
Toune
,
and
their
liues
,
yet
as
God
would
,
the
enemies
gaue
place
with
muche
a
doe
,
to
those
that
valiauntly
entered
the
breache
.
And
the
firste
that
entered
(
as
diuerse
did
beholde
)
was
these
twoo
freendes
:
whiche
vpon
their
enterie
,
ranne
to
saincte
Quintaines
Churche
,
and
gatte
there
sainct
Quintaines
hedde
(
a
riche
iewell
)
and
were
commyng
awaie
with
this
greate
treasure
,
but
the
Almaines
had
entered
at
the
other
breache
,
and
mette
maister
Malbie
and
Capitaine
Vaughan
,
and
beeyng
a
strong
companie
together
,
tooke
awaie
the
gained
bootie
from
them
,
and
put
them
in
hazarde
of
their
liues
,
so
that
thei
were
faine
and
glad
to
escape
,
and
leaue
sainct
Quintaines
hedde
behinde
them
.
Vaughan
was
hurte
in
the
face
,
and
therefore
desired
to
goe
to
the
Campe
to
be
cured
.
And
at
this
assault
there
wer
many
made
riche
,
though
these
twoo
freendes
had
but
euill
Fortune
,
and
founde
enemies
,
where
thei
should
haue
had
freendes
.
The
toune
was
spoiled
and
ransackte
,
and
the
Admirall
of
Fraunce
with
many
others
were
taken
there
,
and
so
kyng
Phillip
fortified
it
againe
,
and
lefte
therein
a
greate
Garrison
,
and
retired
towardes
the
Burgonion
Paile
,
takyng
certaine
tounes
and
fortresses
in
his
waie
.
Not
verie
long
after
a
peace
was
concluded
,
and
the
Englishe
Armie
beeyng
well
paied
,
and
in
Englande
,
maister
Nicholas
Malbie
went
to
the
Irishe
warres
,
and
kept
capitaine
Girtton
companie
not
in
paie
,
but
vppon
pleasure
:
The
Erle
of
Sussex
then
Lorde
Deputie
,
and
Capitaine
Girtton
hauyng
somewhat
to
take
with
the
Lorde
Deputie
,
desired
maister
Malbie
,
to
see
that
his
charge
and
countrey
should
be
well
gouerned
,
till
his
retourne
:
and
gaue
M.
Malbie
power
,
to
doe
what
he
pleased
in
that
behalfe
.
There
was
one
in
those
partes
named
Mighell
Patrick
,
that
was
a
tickell
Subiecte
,
and
did
many
wronges
to
his
neighbours
,
and
namely
to
Capitaine
Girttons
menne
,
against
whom
maister
Malbie
went
,
and
had
diuerse
tymes
the
vpper
hand
of
hym
,
and
put
hym
and
his
Kerne
to
flight
.
In
this
season
there
was
a
Proclamation
,
made
by
the
Lorde
Deputie
,
that
whosoeuer
could
take
a
Rimar
(
which
were
a
kinde
of
Supersticious
Prophesiers
of
Irelande
)
should
spoile
hym
,
and
haue
his
gooddes
,
without
daunger
of
Lawe
.
Maister
Malbie
,
maister
Anthonie
Poore
,
maister
Robart
Hartpole
,
maister
Thomas
Masterson
beyng
all
at
Kilkennie
,
heard
of
certaine
blinde
Prophesiers
called
Rimars
,
that
had
been
abroad
with
gentlemen
and
others
,
and
gotten
their
beste
horses
,
Plate
,
and
Iewelles
,
for
tellyng
them
fables
and
lyes
:
whiche
Iewelles
and
treasure
,
came
to
the
value
of
twoo
hundreth
markes
.
These
Rimars
goyng
home
,
were
followed
by
these
gentlemen
,
and
brought
backe
to
Kilkennie
,
and
there
spoiled
and
whipped
,
and
banished
the
toune
,
which
Rimars
swore
to
Rime
these
gentlemen
to
death
,
but
as
yet
God
bee
thanked
,
thei
haue
taken
no
hurte
,
for
punishyng
suche
disordered
people
.
In
a
little
while
after
,
maister
Malbie
went
to
my
lorde
of
Warwicke
his
maister
,
who
was
Lorde
Lieutenaunt
of
Newe
Hauen
,
where
maister
Malbie
was
not
onely
my
Lordes
Secretarie
,
but
also
was
readie
in
all
seruices
,
and
had
good
and
greate
entertainement
at
my
Lordes
handes
,
and
Ihon
Malbie
serued
there
at
his
owne
charges
on
horse
backe
,
and
Capitaine
Horssey
can
tell
what
good
seruice
he
did
at
a
skirmishe
by
Harfflue
,
master
Thomas
Horde
is
a
good
witnesse
in
like
sorte
of
the
same
seruice
.
For
Horde
was
striken
through
the
hippes
with
a
shotte
,
and
laye
on
the
grounde
,
at
the
mercie
of
the
enemies
sworde
,
when
Ihon
Malbie
flang
in
emong
the
thickest
,
and
recouered
his
countries
man
,
who
yet
is
liuyng
,
and
able
to
doe
good
seruice
.
At
this
seruice
maister
Ihon
Malbies
horse
receiued
two
shotte
,
and
yet
carried
his
maister
to
Newe
Hauen
after
.
At
Newe
Hauen
was
diuerse
times
greate
an
noble
seruices
to
be
seen
.
The
Ryngraue
and
all
his
regimente
could
well
shewe
you
the
same
:
For
thei
thought
and
founde
,
that
our
Soldiours
were
of
greate
vallue
and
worthinesse
.
For
many
of
the
Ryngraues
bande
,
passed
vnder
the
misericorde
of
our
Englishe
blacke
Billes
.
And
the
Ryngraue
(
a
moste
worthie
and
noble
warriour
)
confessed
hym self
,
that
Englishe
soldiors
ought
to
be
honoured
.
But
the
Plague
beyng
so
sore
and
so
terrible
in
Newe
Hauen
,
the
value
of
our
men
could
not
be
seen
but
a
little
season
,
and
so
the
toune
of
necessitie
was
yelded
,
wherein
was
lefte
Capitaine
Randall
,
and
Capitaine
Malbie
,
to
see
the
hurte
menne
conuayed
awaie
,
and
the
greate
ordinaunce
carried
into
Englande
,
that
was
agreed
vppon
betweene
the
Frenche
,
and
the
Erle
of
Warwicke
,
by
whiche
meanes
(
and
to
see
the
condicions
performed
)
Capitaine
Randall
,
and
Capitaine
Malbie
were
the
last
of
our
Englishe
nation
,
that
came
out
of
Newe
Hauen
.
These
thynges
brought
to
passe
,
and
all
thinges
in
quiet
here
at
home
.
The
twoo
brethren
heard
of
warres
betweene
kyng
Phillippe
,
and
the
greate
Turke
:
and
tariyng
a
small
tyme
here
,
thei
sailed
vnto
Spaine
,
and
came
to
the
Courte
where
by
the
meanes
of
the
Count
de
Ferrey
,
the
king
gaue
them
a
gracious
welcome
,
and
commended
theim
in
his
letters
to
Dom
Ihon
de
Tholethoe
,
then
Viceroye
of
Cisill
,
and
Capitaine
generall
of
his
Armie
againste
the
Turkes
,
and
Admirall
of
the
Leuaunt
sea
.
The
kyng
also
gaue
them
letters
vnto
the
Viceroye
of
Kateloniea
(
who
was
Duke
of
Langgiuill
)
for
their
passyng
into
Cisill
,
whiche
Duke
vsed
theim
verie
courteously
,
and
appoincted
theim
a
Frigette
,
whiche
was
rowed
with
fower
and
twentie
Oers
,
and
had
appoincted
for
their
safe
conduite
fiftie
Soldiours
with
victualles
,
for
all
the
whole
companie
.
Thei
arriued
in
a
Citie
called
Guarthelagare
,
and
walkyng
abroad
vp
and
doune
the
streates
,
till
their
menne
had
prouided
their
supper
.
There
came
one
vnto
them
,
that
was
the
Algusie
Magore
,
and
crossyng
the
streate
before
them
,
offered
them
his
varge
,
as
in
a
maner
of
,
a
reste
,
whiche
thei
yelded
vnto
,
and
with
that
he
drewe
out
their
Rapiers
,
to
se
if
thei
were
accordyng
to
the
sise
of
that
Countrey
,
and
findyng
one
of
them
about
the
breadth
of
a
strawe
,
longer
then
his
measure
,
he
carried
bothe
the
twoo
brethren
to
prison
,
thei
mistrustyng
his
dealyng
,
requested
hym
to
bryng
theim
to
the
Corige
doore
.
Who
answered
thei
should
goe
to
hym
,
but
straight
waies
he
clapped
theim
vp
in
a
strong
prison
:
where
thei
were
faine
to
woorke
for
their
libertie
,
and
sendyng
a
greate
iourney
backe
againe
to
the
kyng
of
Spaine
,
that
laye
at
Madriell
,
by
meanes
of
maister
Shelley
,
and
the
Count
de
Ferrye
,
thei
receiued
letters
againe
from
the
king
that
he
whiche
did
them
wrong
,
should
bee
put
out
of
office
,
and
should
paie
their
charges
(
that
was
the
Corigedoore
)
and
the
other
that
did
areste
them
,
first
should
haue
his
necke
broken
,
and
should
be
caste
into
a
Well
,
except
thei
that
had
the
wrong
would
pardon
hym
.
Whiche
thei
did
pardon
,
but
he
loste
his
office
,
and
paied
for
their
charges
,
whiche
was
thought
a
greate
matter
in
a
straunge
Countrey
,
and
taken
to
be
a
greate
Iustice
in
a
kyng
.
So
thei
passed
towardes
Palarma
through
many
daungers
,
and
perillous
passages
,
beeyng
sonderie
tymes
in
hazarde
,
to
fall
in
the
lappes
of
the
Turkes
Galleyes
,
and
yet
through
good
happe
,
and
conducte
of
the
Frigette
,
thei
were
in
(
whiche
was
well
furnished
)
thei
escaped
all
perilles
,
and
came
to
Palarma
.
From
thence
thei
helde
companie
with
the
Galleyes
of
Cisill
that
went
to
Messiney
,
where
beyng
arriued
,
thei
presented
their
letters
to
the
Viceroye
,
who
vsed
theim
courteouslie
,
and
presented
theim
to
diuerse
noble
men
,
and
furnished
them
with
all
suche
necessaries
as
thei
needed
.
There
was
a
gentleman
that
came
from
Sardinia
(
where
the
brethren
had
been
)
and
brought
letters
of
commendation
(
from
kyng
Phillip
and
Dom
Ihon
de
Austria
)
in
his
behalfe
:
who
the
Viceroye
examined
gentely
,
and
findyng
hym
not
meete
to
take
charge
in
suche
a
greate
seruice
,
as
was
then
intended
,
gaue
hym
good
entertainment
,
and
told
hym
that
other
auncient
soldiours
,
muste
bee
firste
preferred
,
because
the
greatest
seruice
of
Christendome
,
was
presently
to
be
followed
,
with
men
of
moste
experience
.
And
so
placyng
this
gentleman
in
a
Capitaines
wages
,
and
at
his
owne
table
,
he
gaue
the
twoo
brethren
the
charge
of
a
Galley
,
whiche
was
vnder
the
leadyng
of
a
gentleman
,
whose
name
was
Giles
Andratha
,
one
of
the
order
of
the
white
Crosse.
And
within
fiue
daie
,
the
whole
power
pasfed
from
Messina
to
Seragosa
,
where
thei
remained
seuen
daies
,
and
from
thence
thei
passed
to
Malta
,
euery
man
bearyng
on
his
backe
twoo
and
thirtie
pound
weight
of
bisket
,
whiche
burthen
bothe
noble
and
simple
,
were
willyng
to
carie
,
at
the
least
fower
Italian
miles
.
For
thei
landed
at
S.
Paules
rode
,
and
marched
to
the
aunciente
Citie
named
Ciuerauegia
.
Sir
Ihon
Smithe
that
now
is
(
a
valliaunte
graue
gentleman
)
shewed
hym self
there
so
honourable
,
that
he
aduaunced
the
fame
of
his
countrey
,
by
the
noblenesse
of
his
minde
.
The
Turkes
vppon
the
arriuall
of
the
Christians
,
plucked
backe
their
Batterie
,
and
embarked
their
greate
Ordinaunce
,
and
retired
their
men
of
warre
a
Shipborde
,
but
in
their
retire
thei
loste
fifteene
hundred
Turkes
,
and
those
soldiours
that
were
before
penned
vp
issued
out
,
and
recouered
twoo
greate
Cannons
,
Dom
Garsia
was
gone
backe
again
to
Saragosa
,
for
the
residue
of
the
Armie
.
And
in
the
meane
tyme
the
Turkes
stoale
awaie
,
and
retired
towardes
Constantinople
,
when
intelligence
was
sente
vnto
Dom
Garsia
(
beeyng
in
Cicill
)
of
the
departure
of
the
Turkes
Armie
,
he
made
greate
speede
to
come
to
Malta
,
leauyng
the
power
he
went
for
behinde
hym
:
and
beyng
arriued
,
tooke
order
for
the
fortification
of
euery
dismembred
peece
,
that
beyng
doen
he
tooke
certaine
soldiours
into
the
Galleyes
,
and
sought
to
finde
some
of
the
skattered
Turkes
on
the
seas
.
So
passyng
from
Malta
Eastward
,
he
came
to
an
Ilande
called
Strumdario
,
Ihon
Andredoria
mette
with
an
Argosie
,
and
was
so
bolde
as
to
borrowe
suche
victualles
as
the
Argosie
had
,
for
the
better
releeuyng
of
his
Galleyes
.
And
after
the
Armie
had
refreshed
them
there
▪
thei
passed
to
an
Ilande
called
Sireygo
▪
where
the
Armie
of
the
Turkes
were
vpon
the
one
side
of
the
Ilande
,
so
attendyng
some
good
Fortune
,
thei
taried
there
seuen
daies
,
in
whiche
tyme
freshe
victualles
waxed
skante
.
Then
were
thei
driuen
to
retire
towardes
Cisill
,
without
dooyng
any
exploite
,
and
hauyng
greate
wante
of
victualles
,
and
sweete
water
,
the
Spaniardes
died
out
of
all
order
.
And
if
God
had
not
sent
a
shower
of
Raine
,
by
meane
of
a
Thonder
,
full
many
a
stoute
man
had
perished
for
want
of
freshe
water
,
whiche
releeued
bothe
the
Soldiour
,
and
the
Galley
slaue
,
the
shower
of
Raine
was
so
sweete
,
and
comfortable
.
In
the
meane
tyme
,
a
brute
was
blowen
in
Cisill
(
on
the
soddaine
departyng
of
Dom
Garsia
from
thence
)
that
the
Turkes
had
wonne
Malta
,
by
whiche
reporte
and
ouerthrowe
,
a
noble
man
of
Cisill
,
thought
to
expulse
the
Spanyardes
out
of
that
countrey
,
and
so
slue
as
many
as
he
might
laye
handes
on
,
and
whiles
he
was
in
his
greatest
glory
,
and
practisyng
a
generall
reuolte
.
The
Galleyes
arriued
there
that
lacked
victualles
before
,
wherein

And

,
a

Custome
was
raised
for

,
in

The

and
made

and
tooke
a

Then
it
was
appoincted
by
Dom
Garsia
,
that
the
twoo

And

From

to

And

And

In

thei
tooke

So
passyng

(

Beeyng

,
the

:
then
maistes
Nicholas

And
his
master
the
noble

of
Warwicke
prefarred

bothe
by
letter
,
and

of
his

So
attended

,
till

Henrie
Sidney
then
Lorde

,
who
vpon

,
and

,
made

Sargeant
Maior
,
in
whiche
roume
he
serued
well
and
worthelie

,
the
Lorde

,
and

in

and

Thus
he
did
continue

a

.
And
at

came

to
Karrikefargus
,
sir

So
sente

Capitaine
Malbie
,
and
sought
his

.
And
maister
Malbies
opinion
was
to
preye

,
and
findyng
thynges
readie
for
that
purpose
.
Prepared
to
sette

a
Kreete
as

were
feedyng
,
the
enemies
had
intelligence
thereof
,
and
draue
thei
Kine
into
a
Bawne
(
otherwise
called
a
place
of

)
Capitaine
Malbie
seeyng
their

shotte

Hargabose
emong
the

,
thei

,
ranne
in

emong

and
so
draue
out

Kine
,
in

Soldiours
,
and
so
thei
were
driuen
to
the
Campe
,
and
the
hongerie
people
thereby
founde
sustentation
.
Sir
Henrie
Sidney
came
out
of
Englande
anon
after
this
,
and
landed
at
Karykefargus
,
where
remainyng
but
a
few
daies
,
he
marched
towardes
the
Ban
,
for
to
parley
with
Torlo
Lenno
,
who
named
hymself
Oneall
.
The
Deputie
beyng
there
made
Proclamation
,
for
all
suche
as
had
any
pledges
for
their
behauiour
,
willyng
them
to
come
in
accordingly
,
or
els
their
pledges
should
suffer
for
their
disobedience
,
that
lefte
theim
in
pledge
.
Emong
all
the
residue
Macke
Ilaspete
was
one
moste
accounted
of
,
but
he
nothyng
respectyng
his
pledges
,
(
or
els
nothyng
doubtyng
the
daunger
thei
were
in
)
staied
and
would
not
come
vnto
the
Lorde
Deputie
,
the
Lorde
Deputie
beyng
no
dallier
in
causes
of
duetie
,
caused
the
pledges
to
be
executed
.
That
beeyng
dooen
,
Macke
Ilaspet
sought
to
reuenge
,
and
came
with
fiue
hundreth
Scottes
into
the
Countrey
,
he
was
encountred
with
one
Richard
Hunt
a
Lieutenaunt
of
horsemen
,
a
verie
valliaunt
soldiour
,
who
vpon
his
first
charge
was
slaine
.
Then
Capitaine
Cheston
beyng
in
the
feeld
,
marched
toward
the
Scottes
with
a
hundreth
footemen
,
and
beeyng
nere
the
Scottes
,
there
were
certaine
gentlemen
(
as
it
seemed
by
their
apparell
)
that
attempted
the
bande
of
foote
menne
,
and
charged
them
,
but
Cheston
and
his
bande
stoode
verie
faste
,
and
determined
to
fight
it
out
.
In
whiche
stoute
standyng
to
their
businesse
,
thei
slewe
on
the
firste
charge
giuen
vnto
them
fourtie
gentlemen
,
whereof
Macke
Ilaspite
was
the
beste
,
for
he
had
the
leadyng
of
the
reste
that
tyme
.
Vppon
whiche
repulse
the
residue
fell
to
flie
:
so
that
thei
were
murthered
and
slaine
,
like
a
sorte
of
Sheepe
.
Now
Bryan
Mackefellyn
standyng
not
farre
of
,
seemed
neuer
to
come
in
,
till
he
sawe
the
ouerthrowe
giuen
,
whiche
happened
otherwise
(
peraduenture
)
then
he
hoped
for
,
but
at
the
length
he
came
faintly
in
,
and
yet
would
not
followe
the
chace
,
beyng
called
a
verie
good
subiect
.
This
broile
enden
,
Capitaine
Chestons
menne
tooke
the
spoile
of
suche
as
was
slaine
,
and
so
retired
.
It
was
not
long
after
,
but
there
came
a
newe
supplie
,
to
reuenge
Macke
Ilaspetts
death
,
whiche
beyng
entered
the
Countrey
,
were
encountered
withall
againe
with
Capitain
Cheston
,
who
shewed
suche
vallue
,
that
in
one
skirmishe
were
slaine
twoo
hundred
Scottes
:
and
in
the
same
skirmish
that
valliaunt
Soldiour
Cheston
by
name
,
was
shot
into
the
baule
of
the
knee
,
of
whiche
hurte
he
died
,
whiche
brought
greate
sorrowe
to
Karyckefargus
.
Capitaine
Nicholas
Malbie
beyng
in
the
Englishe
pale
with
his
bande
:
There
was
a
iourney
appointed
by
the
lorde
Deputie
,
to
be
made
vpon
a
certaine
Rimer
,
that
belonged
to
Oneall
,
at
a
place
called
the
Kloher
.
This
draught
was
drawen
by
one
Thomas
Flemmynges
,
a
greate
freende
of
capitaine
Malbies
.
And
there
was
cheef
appoincted
for
that
iourney
the
Barron
of
Deluin
,
maister
Edward
More
,
and
Capitaine
Collyar
.
Some
businesse
was
emong
the
soldiours
,
for
the
goyng
of
that
iourney
:
and
some
drewe
backe
,
and
some
misliked
the
long
marche
,
whiche
must
bee
dooen
in
shorte
tyme
.
But
the
Barron
of
Deluyn
and
Capitain
Malbie
,
did
determine
to
trie
Fortune
,
and
appoincted
the
footemen
a
place
of
metyng
,
and
to
retire
vnto
theim
,
if
occasion
so
serued
:
But
the
horsemen
rode
on
the
spurre
,
and
entered
the
Countrey
thei
sought
at
a
good
hower
,
and
slue
there
a
nomber
of
rebelles
,
bringyng
from
thence
a
greate
bootie
,
to
the
nomber
of
xij
.
thousande
Kine
and
Mares
,
and
draue
their
prey
to
the
Cloher
.
Whiche
was
within
twoo
miles
of
Onealles
house
,
and
thether
came
the
foote
bandes
,
and
so
Camped
all
together
that
night
.
Oneall
whilest
thei
were
there
sente
theim
woorde
,
thei
should
bee
foughten
withall
,
ere
thei
went
out
of
the
Countrey
,
to
whiche
threates
thei
gaue
small
eare
,
and
made
lesse
aunswere
.
Shortely
after
Capitaine
Malbie
was
to
retourne
to
Karickefargus
with
his
charge
,
where
he
remained
a
small
season
,
there
was
an
occasion
giuen
by
the
capitaine
of
Kyllowlto
of
his
disorder
,
and
hauyng
a
conuenient
tyme
for
the
correction
of
the
same
,
and
did
it
not
.
Wherefore
Capitaine
Malbie
called
his
soldiours
together
,
and
entered
Kyllowltoes
Countrey
,
and
tooke
a
parte
of
his
prey
,
and
marchyng
through
apace
.
There
went
by
Capitaine
Malbie
a
woodd
Kerne
talkyng
with
hym
,
the
Kernes
sworde
drawen
,
and
passyng
vnder
a
bowe
in
a
straite
:
the
Kerne
let
driue
at
the
Capitaine
,
and
hit
hym
on
the
hose
,
whiche
was
so
well
stuffed
with
heare
,
that
the
hurt
was
nothyng
greate
,
and
so
the
Kerne
fled
into
the
woodde
.
It
was
not
three
daies
after
,
but
Capitaine
Malbie
,
and
Capitaine
Peers
hauyng
a
Commission
to
sitte
vpon
,
made
Proclamation
,
that
whatsoeuer
he
was
of
any
degree
and
had
made
offence
that
would
come
in
,
and
aunswere
to
that
should
bee
laied
to
his
charge
,
he
should
come
saffe
and
goe
saffe
,
without
any
harme
or
daunger
.
On
whiche
Proclamation
,
the
self
same
woodde
Kerne
came
,
and
presented
hym self
before
the
Commissioners
:
whereat
Capitaine
Malbies
harte
sturred
,
and
a
soldiour
of
his
that
gaue
hym
warnyng
of
this
Kerne
,
in
the
place
saied
openly
,
Capitaine
this
is
the
traitour
,
that
stroke
you
stoupyng
vnder
a
bowe
.
The
Kerne
aunswered
,
it
was
he
in
deede
.
Then
was
he
demaunded
,
how
durst
he
come
thether
that
had
dooen
so
traiterous
an
acte
.
The
Kerne
aunswered
againe
,
because
I
heard
that
the
Capitaine
neuer
brake
his
woorde
:
I
ventered
to
trie
his
fidelitie
,
not
caryng
for
myne
owne
life
.
With
that
he
was
had
into
a
house
,
and
made
bothe
drinke
and
eate
,
and
so
was
sent
awaie
:
whiche
courtesie
and
trothe
kepte
in
promesse
,
made
this
Kerne
euer
after
a
true
follower
of
Capitaine
Malbie
.
Capitaine
Peers
vpon
some
conceite
or
cause
,
hated
this
Kerne
,
and
afterwardes
arrested
hym
diuerse
tymes
,
which
Kerne
sent
to
maister
Malbie
to
be
his
suretie
,
who
became
bounde
for
him
,
to
paie
fower
and
twentie
Kine
at
a
daie
appoincted
.
There
was
one
made
a
complainte
to
the
Lorde
Deputie
of
Bryan
Ballowe
,
who
sent
for
Bryan
to
aunswere
the
wrong
he
had
dooen
.
Well
qd
Bryan
I
will
goe
keepe
my
promesse
,
for
I
hope
Capitaine
Malbie
will
not
see
me
suffer
death
,
whiche
keeps
my
woorde
:
The
onely
credite
of
a
mannes
life
.
With
that
his
wife
and
freendes
tooke
holde
of
his
mantell
to
staye
hym
,
but
he
so
struggled
that
he
gatte
from
them
,
and
came
starke
naked
before
the
Lorde
Deputie
,
of
whom
Bryan
Ballowe
was
cherished
for
his
faithfulnesse
.
In
that
tyme
while
Sir
Harry
Sidney
was
Deputie
,
there
befell
a
greate
broile
aboute
Kylkennie
,
to
redresse
the
whiche
businesse
,
was
sent
sir
Peter
Carowe
,
Capitaine
Gilbart
,
Capitaine
Malbie
,
and
Capitaine
Basnette
,
who
beyng
in
Kylkennie
heard
saie
that
a
thousande
Gallowglasses
were
in
a
plaine
,
not
farre
from
the
toune
:
so
these
Capitaines
issued
out
of
the
gates
,
(
whiche
were
kept
shut
for
great
occasion
)
and
came
in
the
vewe
of
those
Gallowglasses
.
There
fell
a
greate
shower
of
Rain
the
same
season
,
and
the
Gallowglasses
seyng
the
Englishemen
but
a
fewe
,
and
thei
beeyng
many
,
made
a
shewe
of
fight
,
and
puttyng
of
their
broeges
,
and
shakyng
their
Axes
,
gaue
a
greate
shoute
and
a
crie
,
as
their
maner
is
when
thei
hope
of
victorie
.
But
the
Englishe
Capitaines
minded
not
to
giue
ouer
the
matter
for
a
bragge
.
And
determined
couragiously
to
set
vpon
their
enemies
:
whiche
in
deede
thei
did
,
and
gaue
so
lustie
a
charge
that

Sir

this
victorie
rested

The
Lorde
Deputie
sente
Sir
Peter
Caroe
,
for
to
take
possession
of
a
certaine
Castell
,
in
whiche
Castell
was
a
companie
of
stoute
men
:
And
to
the
seruice
was
Capitaine
Collyer
,
Capitaine
Furres
,
and
others
sent
.
Thei
within
shotte
and
slue
our
people
,
whiche
encreased
the
hatred
and
malice
:
Muche
businesse
was
aboute
this
Castell
,
and
at
length
it
came
to
a
parley
,
and
whiles
the
capitaines
were
at
the
parley
,
the
soldiours
wer
made
drinke
,
and
a
siluer
boule
sent
them
to
drinke
in
out
of
the
Castell
:
But
the
parley
could
not
take
vp
the
matter
,
&
so
thei
called
for
their
siluer
boule
again
,
but
a
soldiour
with
one
legge
,
whose
name
was
haltyng
Dick
,
hauyng
the
siluer
boule
in
his
hande
,
made
aunswere
,
that
he
would
keepe
that
till
the
reckenyng
were
made
of
the
reste
.
And
the
parley
beyng
doen
,
thei
put
in
the
Conestable
of
the
Castell
at
a
grate
,
and
sodainly
withall
thei
thrust
in
a
great
peece
of
Timber
,
whiche
kepte
the
grate
open
,
wherein
the
Soldiours
entered
,
and
so
wonne
the
Castell
,
where
after
was
a
pitifull
murther
,
for
man
,
woman
,
and
child
were
put
to
the
sworde
.
And
the
soldiours
found
therein
greate
riches
,
especially
Tapestrie
and
Plate
,
and
muche
good
housholde
stuffe
.
It
was
not
long
after
,
but
the
Lorde
Deputie
raised
a
greate
power
,
to
go
to
the
West
against
the
rebelles
,
whose
leader
was
Iames
Fitz
Moris
:
whiche
was
reported
to
bee
of
greate
force
.
And
the
Lorde
deputie
marchyng
forwarde
toward
Clammell
:
the
newes
was
brought
,
that
Fitz
Morris
was
so
strong
,
that
the
Lorde
Deputie
was
to
weake
to
deale
withall
.
So
counsaill
was
giuen
him
to
retire
.
The
lord
Deputie
seeyng
the
cowardies
of
some
(
and
hauyng
good
courage
hym self
)
called
Capitaine
Malbie
and
asked
his
aduise
,
who
aunswered
,
if
good
guides
could
bryng
my
lorde
through
the
plaine
Countrey
,
his
fiue
hundreth
horse
would
marche
in
despite
through
all
Irelande
.
The
Lorde
Deputie
thereon
saied
,
he
neuer
bare
the
George
that
daie
,
that
he
gaue
place
to
any
rebelles
:
and
so
the
Deputie
commaunded
them
to
marche
,
and
his
power
came
that
night
,
and
lodged
at
a
Castell
of
his
enemies
,
as
the
reporte
wente
.
There
was
a
stoute
Kerne
seyng
the
Deputies
campe
commyng
,
ranne
out
of
the
Castell
and
sett
many
houses
a
fire
,
because
the
Lorde
Deputies
power
should
haue
no
succour
thereof
,
and
be
in
so●●
daunger
by
their
approche
.
To
whiche
Kern
Ihon
Malbie
galloped
apace
,
and
so
dispatched
hym
,
which
was
a
good
peece
of
seruice
.
The
nexte
daie
the
Castell
was
yelded
,
so
the
lorde
Deputie
marched
to
the
White
Knightes
Countrey
,
and
besieged
a
strong
Castell
of
his
,
and
because
thei
did
withstande
the
siege
,
thei
were
all
put
vnto
the
sworde
.
From
thence
he
marched
towarde
a
Castell
in
the
Desmondes
Countrey
,
called
Bally
Marten
,
where
thei
withstode
the
siege
,
so
it
was
battered
.
And
there
was
one
called
the
Seneshall
,
who
founde
meane
in
the
night
,
to
steale
awaie
with
all
his
companie
,
and
so
thei
tooke
the
bogge
,
and
escaped
to
Iames
Fitz
Morrice
,
who
made
many
wordes
and
threateninges
,
but
he
performed
no
peece
of
those
promises
.
So
after
this
,
the
Lorde
Deputie
came
vnto
Corke
,
and
from
thence
to
Lymbrick
,
takyng
all
the
Castelles
in
his
waie
that
he
founde
,
till
he
came
to
Gallawaye
.
And
after
he
returned
towardes
Dublin
,
in
whiche
iourney
his
enemies
did
neuer
shewe
their
faces
.
Shortly
after
this
,
Capitaine
Malbie
tooke
in
farme
the
countrey
of
Lakaell
,
at
the
handes
of
the
Erle
of
Kildare
whiche
Lakaell
had
lyen
waiste
three
yeres
before
,
and
after
that
came
sir
Thomas
Smithes
base
sonne
with
his
horsemen
and
footmen
,
to
a
place
called
the
Ardes
,
nere
neighbor
to
Capitaine
Malbie
,
who
furnished
maister
Smithe
with
diuerse
thynges
,
and
did
bestowe
on
hym
and
his
soldiours
,
a
good
rounde
some
of
money
:
but
maister
Smithes
fortune
was
not
good
,
and
so
at
the
length
he
was
slaine
,
as
after
you
shall
heare
.
Now
the
noble
and
moste
bountifull
gentleman
of
Englande
,
came
ouer
as
Gouernour
of
Vlster
,
I
meane
the
Erle
of
Essex
,
whose
praises
no
manne
in
the
worlde
can
ecclips
.
Whiche
Erle
was
accompanied
with
a
goodly
bande
of
horsemen
and
footemen
,
he
arriued
at
Karrickefargus
:
And
there
came
with
hym
the
Lorde
Ritche
,
Maister
Henrie
Knowlles
,
and
his
fower
brethren
,
maister
Mighell
Carie
,
and
maister
Ihon
Carie
,
soonnes
to
the
Lorde
of
Honsdon
,
and
maister
William
Norrice
,
and
maister
Ihon
Norrice
,
twoo
of
the
eldest
soonnes
of
the
Lorde
Norrice
,
whose
courages
and
deedes
,
did
shewe
their
noble
race
,
as
in
deede
the
other
gentlemen
named
before
theim
,
by
their
owne
actes
aparte
,
did
often
tymes
expresse
their
honourable
birthe
.
There
was
likewise
one
maister
Blunt
a
valliaunt
gentleman
,
brother
to
the
Lorde
Mongie
,
and
sonderie
others
,
whose
names
I
haue
forgotten
.
Within
a
prettie
space
after
this
noble
Earles
arriuall
,
sir
Bryan
Mackefellin
(
who
was
accounted
then
a
rebell
)
did
sue
to
come
in
.
To
whom
the
Earle
gaue
protection
,
and
yeldyng
hym self
simplie
,
vnto
the
Queene
,
the
Earle
not
onely
graunted
hym
a
pardon
,
but
also
gaue
him
greate
giftes
,
and
vsed
hym
so
courteously
,
as
he
could
not
imagine
how
to
be
better
entertained
.
But
Bryans
follower
beeyng
wearie
of
well
doyng
(
and
peraduenture
by
Bryans
consent
)
the
soldiours
horses
could
not
bee
in
saffetie
,
and
the
followers
of
Bryan
fell
to
open
thefte
,
and
priuie
filchyng
.
The
Earle
willed
Bryan
to
giue
correction
to
the
malefectours
,
who
promised
from
tyme
to
tyme
,
but
no
redresse
could
be
had
.
The
Earle
lettyng
those
offences
passe
,
and
conceiued
that
he
had
not
his
people
in
suche
obedience
,
as
was
reason
,
and
so
bore
with
little
faultes
,
in
hope
amendemente
would
followe
:
but
all
this
while
the
soldiours
were
robbed
,
and
as
the
poore
menne
them selues
were
caught
alone
,
thei
were
murthered
.
For
whiche
outrage
the
Erle
shaped
a
reuenge
,
and
so
to
crie
quittaunce
:
but
Bryan
hearyng
thereof
,
desired
to
come
in
,
and
make
his
aunswere
,
the
Erle
graunted
that
,
and
so
sir
Bryan
came
,
and
made
his
submission
,
declaryng
he
could
not
rule
his
naughtie
people
,
and
was
sorie
for
their
follies
,
and
foule
factes
committed
.
So
the
Erle
badde
hym
bryng
them
all
into
an
Ilande
called
Mahair
,
and
offered
Bryans
menne
an
aide
,
to
bryng
them
that
would
refuse
to
come
,
promisyng
thei
should
be
all
well
vsed
,
and
all
former
faultes
shoud
be
forgotten
.
Sir
Bryan
so
departed
,
and
in
fine
wrought
cunnyngly
to
deceiue
the
Erle
,
and
departe
with
all
his
Creett
of
Kye
,
(
whiche
amounted
to
twentie
thousande
)
into
the
wooddes
,
or
where
he
thought
beste
:
but
my
Lorde
of
Essex
had
good
espiall
on
Bryan
,
by
meane
of
Capitaine
Malbie
,
notwithstandyng
,
the
sleightes
of
the
enemies
were
so
fine
,
that
thei
could
not
bee
easely
perceiued
,
nor
preuented
,
because
so
many
tales
were
brought
,
and
so
many
flatters
tooke
sir
Bryans
parte
.
Yet
alwaies
the
Erle
did
that
,
whiche
he
thought
for
the
beste
,
and
was
lothe
to
seeke
blood
,
but
vpon
a
greate
occasion
,
and
yet
in
the
ende
true
woorde
was
brought
,
that
Mackefellyn
was
stollen
awaie
,
by
this
meanes
as
I
shall
tell
you
,
Capitaine
Malbie
and
his
brother
hearyng
of
this
dispute
,
and
hauyng
greate
businesse
to
repaire
vnto
Lakaill
tooke
their
iourney
,
and
as
thei
were
ridyng
,
thei
espied
a
freende
of
theirs
commyng
galloppyng
,
whose
name
was
Marke
Hoult
.
Who
brought
newes
of
Bryans
goyng
awaie
,
whiche
messenger
thei
sent
in
all
haste
to
the
Erle
:
and
thei
appointed
a
place
,
where
thei
would
meete
the
Earle
.
But
in
the
meane
while
thei
hasted
to
staie
Bryan
and
thei
might
,
or
to
holde
hym
plaie
till
the
Earle
came
.
But
that
was
in
vaine
,
for
all
the
Creete
had
take
a
strength
before
the
daie
.
Yet
the
Earle
marched
apace
,
and
came
within
twoo
miles
of
the
enemie
,
where
he
mette
Capitaine
Malbie
:
but
of
necessitie
the
Earle
retired
to
Carryckefargus
,
for
this
matter
could
not
be
recouered
.
Yet
in
a
fewe
daies
after
,
the
Earle
made
a
rode
against
Bryan
,
and
by
meane
of
a
Spaniell
in
the
companie
,
their
entent
was
eskried
,
and
wantyng
Kerne
to
enter
the
wood
the
Earle
retired
homeward
againe
.
The
Earle
sent
for
the
Barron
of
Dongarren
,
and
maister
Edwarde
Moore
,
and
one
Thomas
Flemmyng
,
but
Bryan
had
gotten
intelligence
thereof
,
and
laye
in
waite
for
to
entrappe
theim
:
The
Barron
came
to
Bellfaste
and
passed
the
Foorde
,
and
sent
to
Hollyngburne
Abbey
for
maister
Moore
,
so
passyng
a
softe
pace
towardes
the
Earle
,
Bryans
horsemen
brake
,
and
so
the
Barron
retired
backe
to
the
forde
again
,
where
by
chaunce
maister
Malbie
was
,
and
gaue
the
Barron
succours
,
and
caused
theim
to
passe
ouer
the
Foord
,
for
their
better
suertie
.
But
those
horsemen
that
thei
had
sent
for
maister
More
,
did
light
in
the
lappes
of
their
enemies
,
in
commyng
backe
againe
:
yet
some
of
theim
were
well
horssed
,
and
so
escaped
to
Hollyngburne
Abbay
,
and
those
that
were
nerest
mischeef
were
slaine
.
This
hazarde
beeyng
paste
,
Capitaine
Malbie
sente
in
poste
to
the
Earle
,
to
come
closely
with
as
many
horsemen
,
and
footemen
as
he
might
make
,
and
to
come
in
the
night
followyng
:
the
Earle
made
speede
,
and
came
as
secretly
as
he
might
,
three
howers
before
daie
,
to
the
place
appoincted
:
where
he
laye
in
couerte
,
till
it
was
tyme
to
passe
ouer
the
Foorde
.
Now
the
Barron
with
maister
Moore
and
their
companie
passed
ouer
,
and
had
not
gone
but
a
little
ground
,
but
thei
were
sharpely
set
vpon
,
and
sent
backe
againe
,
Bryans
foote
men
were
so
nere
them
:
with
that
Capitain
Malbie
and
his
brother
hastened
to
the
skirmishe
(
whiche
grewe
very
hott
)
and
as
thei
were
almoste
ouer
the
water
,
maister
Richard
Blunt
commyng
with
them
,
cried
,
a
charge
,
a
charge
,
and
so
settyng
his
staffe
againste
his
thigh
,
he
ranne
emong
the●m
whiche
were
footemen
,
whiche
had
quickely
killed
his
horse
,
and
had
hym
doune
,
laiyng
loade
vppon
hym
(
whiche
was
a
wonder
of
the
worlde
he
had
not
been
slaine
)
capitain
Malbie
and
his
brother
with
fiue
or
sixe
more
,
gaue
a
charge
to
rescue
him
,
and
so
put
his
enemies
backe
,
where
at
a
man
of
the
Barrons
,
and
an
other
called
Thomas
Flemmyng
,
tooke
hym
vp
,
and
haled
hym
awaie
.
At
this
skirmishe
many
of
Bryans
men
were
slaine
:
and
the
Englishemen
did
retire
ouer
the
water
in
tyme
,
for
the
tide
was
commyng
.
And
the
very
same
night
,
the
enemies
came
ouer
the
water
,
and
encamped
them selues
by
the
Englishe
power
.
And
in
the
mornyng
betymes
thei
prouoked
the
skirmishe
,
bothe
cunnyngly
and
manfully
.
For
at
the
firste
beginnyng
,
thei
killed
maister
Willyam
Norrises
horse
vnder
hym
(
who
valliauntly
behaued
hymself
)
and
in
lesse
then
an
hower
,
capitaine
Malbies
horse
was
striken
doune
:
and
if
Sir
Willyam
Morgan
with
greate
courage
,
and
one
maister
Egerton
had
not
dooen
verie
well
,
Capitaine
Malbie
had
been
slaine
,
for
his
horse
laye
vppon
hym
.
The
noble
Earle
beholding
this
broile
,
with
his
footemen
came
fliyng
in
,
and
gaue
a
charge
on
the
rebelles
,
and
put
them
to
flight
,
and
did
it
in
suche
order
,
that
many
of
the
enemies
loste
their
liues
thereby
:
And
after
that
charge
,
thei
retired
into
the
wooddes
,
where
sondrie
of
them
were
ouerthrowne
,
and
those
that
escaped
went
to
their
Creete
.
As
tyme
did
passe
,
and
the
Erle
laie
at
Karrickefargus
,
newes
was
brought
that
one
Noall
Macke
Bryan
Artho
,
had
deuised
a
draught
,
for
the
killyng
of
Maister
Thomas
Smithe
,
who
was
slaine
by
that
deuise
:
My
Lorde
of
Essex
was
muche
moued
at
that
deede
,
and
Capitaine
Malbie
and
his
brother
were
marueilous
sorie
,
for
the
losse
of
suche
a
neighbour
,
and
good
companion
.
And
swore
to
reuenge
his
death
,
ere
it
should
be
long
,
as
thei
did
when
occasion
serued
therefore
.
In
processe
of
tyme
the
twoo
brethren
desired
leaue
,
to
repaire
into
Lakaell
(
meanyng
to
practise
a

for
maister
Smithes
death
)
the
Earle
not
knowyng
their
myndes
,
gaue
Ihon
Malbie
leaue
to
goe
,
but
kept
the
other
Capitaine
about
his
owne
persone
.
Maister
Ihon
Malbie
commyng
into
Lakaell
,
mustered
all
the
menne
he
might
make
,
and
hauyng
a
good
power
,
sufficiente
as
neede

one

Donny
Sallowe

,
and
promised
at
the

pounds
for
his

,
that

This
Donny
Sallowe

money
,
as
glad
to

his
freende
,
went
closely
about
this
matter
,
and
brought
suche
certaine
newes
,
of
Neall
Bryan
Arttoes
haunt
and
order
of
life
,
that
it
was
an
easie
thyng
,
either
to
compasse
hym
in
some
daunger
,
or
laye
handes
vppon
his
followers
.
And
by
a
good
occasion
maister
Ihon
Malbie
,
with
three
score
and
fower
horsemen
,
and
a
fewe
footemen
,
he
made
suche
a
slaughter
,
that
fiue
and
thirtie
of
his
beste
men
,
that
followed
Neall
Bryan
Artto
were
licked
vp
and
slaine
,
and
a
greate
preye
and
bootie
taken
from
hym
,
and
brought
awaie
,
he
beeyng
twoo
hundreth
footemen
,
and
fourtie
horsemen
in
the
feelde
.
Emong
those
menne
that
was
slaine
,
was
one
Con
Mackmeloeg
,
who
before
caused
maister
Smithe
to
be
eaten
vp
with
Dogges
,
after
he
had
been
boiled
,
and
this
same
Con
Mackmeloeg
beyng
slaine
,
was
lefte
emong
wolues
v.
daies
,
and
was
had
into
a
house
,
where
his
freendes
howled
,
and
cried
ouer
his
dedde
bodie
so
long
,
that
by
mischaunce
a
greate
deale
of
pouder
caught
fire
,
and
sett
the
house
in
a
flame
:
the
Dogges
in
the
toune
smellyng
this
ded
bodie
ranne
in
,
and
tooke
it
out
of
the
house
,
and
so
tore
it
in
peeces
,
and
fedde
vppon
his
carraine
fleshe
openly
.
Whiche
was
a
thyng
to
bee
muche
marueiled
at
,
and
thought
to
bee
sent
from
God
,
for
a
terrour
to
all
tyrauntes
hereafter
.
Now
here
is
to
be
noted
,
that
the
Erle
so
long
as
he
had
power
,
left
no
occasion
to
trouble
Bryan
Mackefellyn
,
and
to
make
hym
knowe
he
had
offended
the
Queenes
highnesse
,
and
for
that
cause
the
Earle
made
diuerse
iourneis
vppon
hym
.
As
a
iourney
where
a
preye
was
to
be
wonne
,
where
maister
Maunsfeelde
,
a
proper
man
was
slaine
at
,
and
maister
Harry
Knowles
was
fore
hurte
in
,
who
serued
noblie
that
daie
.
And
a
iourneye
made
to
the
Glyns
,
to
Freers
Toune
,
and
to
many
other
places
emong
the
enemies
,
but
with
this
seruice
and
diligence
,
the
Englishe
glentlemen
were
so
weried
,
that
sondrie
sought
meanes
to
departe
into
Englande
,
and
so
the
Earle
remained
with
the
lesse
force
,
and
could
not
put
further
the
mater
in
practise
,
then
his
power
and
Fortune
would
suffer
and
procure
,
notwithstandyng
he
founde
meanes
to
entrappe
,
and
take
sir
Bryan
Mackefellyn
,
whiche
he
sent
to
Deuelyn
,
and
caused
to
bee
retourned
againe
.
At
whose
retourne
to
auoide
further
trouble
sir
Bryan
was
put
to
death
,
on
whiche
execution
runneth
diuerse
reportes
,
the
maner
whereof
I
leaue
to
the
worlde
.
For
my
intente
is
but
to
shewe
breefly
,
how
thynges
were
begonne
and
ended
,
at
that
present
tyme
of
seruice
.
All
this
season
remained
with
the
Earle
,
sir
Nicholas
Malbie
and
his
brother
,
Capitaine
Barkley
,
Capitaine
Selbie
,
Capitaine
Bousar
,
Capitaine
Deeryng
,
sir
Peter
Carewe
,
sir
Willyam
Morgan
,
and
twoo
of
my
Lorde
of
Hunsdons
soonnes
,
maister
Harry
Bronkar
,
and
others
of
good
callyng
,
courage
,
and
credite
.
Sir
Willyam
Fuwillyams
was
Lorde
Deputie
then
,
who
tooke
greate
paines
,
to
reforme
the
badde
disposition
of
disobediente
people
,
and
often
tymes
was
in
Campe
hym self
to
vse
the
sworde
,
and
minister
Iustice
.
And
at
his
goyng
awaie
,
came
the
honorable
sir
Harry
Sidney
,
in
whose
tyme
was
muche
to
be
doen
,
but
especially
against
one
Sarlaboyes
a
Skotte
,
that
kepte
aboute
the
Ban
,
and
had
ouerthrowne
a
nomber
of
talle
soldiours
,
saruyng
at
Karryckefargus
,
emong
the
whiche
companie
was
Capitaine
Baker
slaine
.
So
for
the
reuenge
and
redresse
of
these
and
suche
like
causes
,
the
Lorde
Deputie
made
a
power
,
and
marched
from
Dradaffe
to
Dondalke
,
and
so
to
the
Newewrie
,
and
from
thence
to
Lakaell
,
and
so
toward
Bellfaste
,
where
in
a
woode
a
greate
nomber
of
wilde
Kerne
(
vnder
the
leadyng
of
Brian
Macke
Farttie
)
did
attende
vs
,
and
staied
vs
from
takyng
the
aduauntage
of
the
tide
,
thei
plied
vs
with
suche
shot
and
other
their
leaude
demeanour
.
But
we
charged
on
them
,
and
so
draue
them
into
their
fastnesse
:
Capitain
Harryngton
and
his
bande
serued
well
that
season
,
I
behelde
the
same
,
and
with
small
difficultie
we
put
the
enemies
backe
,
and
passed
the
Riuer
with
some
hazard
,
for
the
floud
was
come
in
,
and
we
were
faine
to
carrie
our
footemen
behind
vs
a
horseback
,
and
some
we
ledde
by
the
handes
,
whiche
moyled
and
wette
the
poore
soldiours
extremely
,
but
the
marche
that
wee
had
after
to
Karryckefargus
,
brought
the
poore
menne
in
good
harte
againe
:
but
their
victualles
waxed
scante
,
and
we
carried
a
longer
season
then
was
looked
for
,
by
meane
of
the
hollowe
and
false
dealyng
of
the
wilde
Scottes
,
of
whom
Sarlaboyes
was
Capitaine
.
This
Serlaboyes
had
in
his
Creete
(
as
thei
call
it
)
thirtie
thousande
Kye
,
and
yet
wee
wanted
bothe
Beefe
and
Biskette
:
The
reason
was
,
the
winde
serued
not
to
conueigh
vs
victualles
from
Strangfforde
,
and
other
places
appoincted
to
victuall
the
Campe
.
At
the
length
Serlaboyes
was
faine
,
and
glad
to
sende
vs
some
Kye
,
and
so
we
marched
awaie
:
but
the
seconde
daie
after
,
the
woodde
Kernes
spied
their
tyme
,
and
set
vpon
some
of
our
carriages
,
and
tooke
with
theim
bothe
tronkes
full
of
apparell
,
and
some
plate
,
but
thei
could
not
dooe
to
our
power
any
hurte
at
all
,
saue
to
a
fewe
that
went
without
order
,
and
felte
some
scourge
for
their
follie
.
After
this
the
Lorde
Deputie
roade
to
a
place
called
Blackwater
,
to
whom
came
the
Oneall
,
and
made
his
humble
submission
:
and
so
we
helde
on
in
iourneyng
,
and
marche
still
towardes
the
Weste
,
and
came
firste
to
the
Forttes
in
Affayleye
,
where
some
offendours
were
hanged
,
and
then
to
Kylkennie
the
Lorde
Deputie
passed
,
but
before
he
came
nere
the
Toune
,
the
noble
Earle
of
Ormonde
with
a
braue
traine
mette
the
Lorde
Deputie
,
and
afterwardes
feasted
hym
moste
sumptuously
:
and
now
to
speake
of
this
valliant
Earle
,
it
shall
beautifie
my
matter
.
For
his
seruice
,
charges
and
trauaill
hath
been
suche
,
that
it
deserueth
memoriall
for
euer
:
For
alwaies
and
at
all
seasons
,
he
hath
on
his
owne
proper
coste
and
charge
been
as
readie
,
and
as
forwarde
to
serue
the
Prince
,
as
any
man
that
euer
I
haue
heard
spoken
of
,
noble
or
otherwise
:
and
this
is
moste
to
be
commended
in
that
noble
Earle
,
he
neuer
brake
faithe
in
his
daies
,
but
had
suche
regard
to
his
honour
,
that
he
would
keepe
touche
with
his
mortall
enemies
,
and
muche
more
with
his
freendes
,
and
where
due
obedience
doeth
leade
hym
.
I
lacke
but
laisure
to
praise
that
noble
man
a
right
,
and
so
for
this
tyme
I
goe
no
further
,
in
his
honourable
commendations
.
Now
from
Kylkennie
the
lorde
Deputie
went
to
Korke
,
and
so
to
Lymbricke
,
where
I
sawe
the
Earle
of
Desmonde
come
in
with
greate
humilitie
and
reuerence
:
and
many
others
of
the
Nobilitie
of
Irelande
,
duetifully
behaued
them selues
there
.
So
from
that
place
the
Lorde
Deputie
went
to
Gallawaie
,
and
retourned
home
through
Connaught
(
where
now
Sir
Nicholas
Malbie
remaines
as
gouernor
.
FOr
that
it
shall
not
seeme
in
any
sorte
,
that
either
affection
or
report
,
should
lead
my
penne
to
the
praise
of
one
,
and
leauing
out
the
laude
of
an
other
(
which
is
a
kind
of
curryng
fauour
with
menne
,
and
a
fauourer
of
good
fortune
)
I
haue
drawne
and
sett
doune
in
good
order
,
the
valliant
seruices
of
diuerse
capitaines
that
were
at
Newe
Hauen
,
who
ought
not
to
bee
forgotten
,
if
I
write
not
parshallie
,
and
voide
of
consideration
.
Emong
the
whiche
Capitaines
I
finde
Capitaine
Reade
(
now
in
the
Garrison
of
Barwicke
)
a
manne
so
worthie
of
memorie
,
and
garnished
with
knowledge
and
courage
,
that
he
not
onely
merites
to
bee
spoken
of
,
but
likewise
deserueth
to
be
honoured
in
Marshall
causes
,
and
exercises
of
warre
.
And
because
sonderie
reportes
hath
been
bruted
(
and
blowen
abroad
,
otherwise
then
reason
requireth
)
of
the
kepyng
and
yeeldyng
of
Newe
Hauen
:
I
mynde
in
breef
and
shorte
maner
,
to
make
a
whole
and
sounde
discription
of
the
seruices
there
.
Whiche
in
myne
opinion
were
bothe
daungerous
and
manly
,
and
maie
be
called
a
noble
exploite
:
till
Goddes
visitation
by
terrible
Plague
and
diseases
,
had
infected
the
toune
,
and
disouraged
stoute
soldiours
.
For
in
callyng
to
mynde
the
sondrie
hazardes
,
and
extremities
thei
were
in
,
(
consideryng
a
fewe
in
comparison
in
a
straunge
Countrey
,
withstoode
a
greate
nation
and
multitude
of
men
well
experimented
.
I
am
moued
to
touche
a
little
their
vallue
,
and
to
shutte
in
silence
by
this
my
true
rehersall
,
the
bablyng
speeches
of
those
that
haue
barked
,
or
snarred
at
the
well
dooyng
of
their
Countrey
men
.
Whose
fame
and
laudation
in
our
Forefathers
daies
hath
ouermatched
,
and
farre
surpassed
the
glorie
of
any
our
neighbors
,
examine
but
their
deedes
and
conquestes
,
and
you
shall
neede
no
further
triall
of
the
matter
.
Now
to
make
good
myndes
of
vpright
meanyng
conceiue
the
trothe
,
and
in
a
maner
marueile
at
the
happe
,
and
manlinesse
of
our
people
:
I
will
firste
and
formoste
declare
vnto
you
,
a
victorie
gotten
against
the
Count
de
Ringraue
(
albeit
it
falles
not
in
order
of
the
whole
discourse
)
a
man
of
greate
honour
,
and
no
little
courage
and
conducte
.
Who
gouerned
his
Campe
and
regiment
,
with
as
good
pollicie
and
knowledge
,
as
any
manne
liuyng
in
his
daies
,
and
place
of
seruice
.
It
fell
out
after
the
Frenche
were
knit
in
vnion
,
and
that
bothe
the
Religions
were
bente
against
vs
(
as
in
causes
of
dominion
is
alwaies
to
be
looked
for
)
and
so
determinyng
to
laye
siege
to
Newe
Hauen
,
with
all
the
power
thei
could
make
.
Thei
sent
this
noble
Count
Ryngraue
,
to
take
a
certaine
village
not
farre
from
the
Forte
:
in
whiche
village
did
encampe
the
whole
regiment
of
the
Ryngraue
,
when
he
had
with
some
difficultie
possessed
it
.
The
Earle
of
Warwicke
Lorde
Lieutenaunt
for
the
Queenes
Maiestie
,
beyng
carefull
of
his
charge
,
and
watchfull
to
preuente
mischeef
:
Sent
out
at
Midnight
Capitaine
Reade
and
some
other
bandes
,
to
holde
the
enemie
some
plaie
,
and
bidde
them
the
basse
,
and
so
in
skirmishe
as
the
season
and
occasion
would
serue
,
thei
droue
out
a
peece
of
the
night
,
receiuyng
little
harme
,
and
doyng
all
the
hurte
thei
could
deuise
.
But
my
Lorde
Lieutenaunt
beholdyng
the
boldnesse
of
the
Ryngraue
,
and
seyng
how
nere
he
sought
to
nestell
hym self
to
Newe
Hauen
,
with
suche
a
power
as
peraduenture
,
might
haue
troubled
the
whole
toune
.
My
Lorde
issued
and
went
to
the
Forte
,
whiche
stoode
a
good
distaunce
from
the
Hauen
.
And
after
my
Lorde
had
a
while
digested
this
businesse
,
and
had
well
foreseen
what
might
followe
,
if
the
enemie
wer
suffered
like
a
strong
hedded
horse
,
to
take
the
bridell
in
his
teeth
:
my
Lorde
called
Capitaine
Reade
before
hym
,
and
tolde
hym
that
the
enemie
must
bee
remoued
.
For
by
Gods
will
qd
he
(
as
it
is
my
Lordes
earnest
woorde
)
if
the
Ryngraue
lodge
so
nere
my
charge
,
the
one
of
vs
bothe
shall
take
little
reste
,
and
so
my
Lorde
concluded
,
and
fully
determined
that
Capitaine
Read
should
haue
the
leadyng
of
a
thousande
men
,
and
goe
giue
a
charge
on
the
enemie
.
To
whiche
commaundement
Capitaine
Read
willyngly
obeyed
,
wherevppon
Capitaine
Souche
,
Capitaine
Ward
,
Capitaine
Gam
Capitaine
Somersettes
Lieutenaunte
,
Capitaine
Apleyarde
,
Capitaine
Parkinson
,
Capitaine
Anttwesill
,
Capitaine
Wilfforde
,
and
all
their
bandes
,
were
appoincted
to
followe
Capitaine
Reades
order
and
direction
,
in
as
duetifull
maner
,
as
my
Lorde
hym self
had
had
the
leadyng
of
these
bandes
and
officers
.
Now
it
behoued
Capitaine
Reade
to
looke
well
aboute
hym
,
and
to
sette
doune
a
course
and
order
to
keepe
,
firmelie
and
aduisedlie
,
because
he
had
not
to
deale
with
men
of
small
value
,
nor
people
that
before
tyme
had
been
ignoraunte
,
of
the
seruice
in
the
feelde
.
Wherefore
he
sorted
his
soldiours
,
and
placed
them
in
the
moste
assured
and
aptest
maner
,
for
the
accomplishyng
of
suche
an
enterprise
:
deuided
theim
into
that
order
,
that
one
might
aunswere
an
other
,
and
the
maine
battaill
should
giue
releef
to
the
whole
companie
.
But
here
is
to
bee
noted
,
that
the
enemies
were
thought
verie
strong
,
and
to
the
nomber
of
fiue
or
sixe
thousande
soldiours
,
Frenche
and
Almaines
,
who
looked
for
some
encounter
,
and
were
in
battaill
closely
sette
and
knitte
together
,
at
the
entrie
of
the
village
:
hauyng
certaine
louse
shott
without
the
toune
,
and
some
horsemen
withall
,
redy
to
giue
a
charge
and
take
what
aduauntage
might
be
gotten
.
Fearyng
little
,
that
our
people
would
haue
ventered
on
their
battaill
,
and
doubtyng
nothyng
the
victorie
,
if
so
small
a
power
as
ours
,
durst
putte
in
hazarde
the
fight
,
or
offer
to
giue
the
repulse
.
Well
,
in
this
daungerous
and
doubtfull
peece
of
seruice
,
Capitaine
Reade
beeyng
resolued
,
to
trie
the
vttermoste
of
Fortune
,
and
followe
my
Lordes
will
and
pleasure
,
who
behelde
all
the
exploite
:
With
as
greate
expedition
as
could
be
deuised
,
he

Capitaine
Souche
,
Capitaine
Gam
,
Capitaine
Parkinson
,
and
Capitaine
Warde
(
menne
of
good
seruice
,
and
readie
to
aduenture
for
renowme
)
as
a
wyng
on
the
lefte
hande
of
his
battaill
,
to
plie
the
enemie
with
shotte
,
and
in
the
battaill
and
as
occasion
required
,
he
placed
Capitaine
Apleyard
,
Capitaine
Anttwesill
,
and
Capitaine
Wilford
.
For
to
aunswere
his
hope
with
their
manhood
and
diligence
:
and
doe
that
was
conuenient
,
in
suche
a
hotte
and
couragious
encounter
.
Now
Capitaine
Souche
and
his
companie
,
made
suche
haste
to
the
seruice
(
this
beeyng
at
sixe
a
clocke
in
the
Mornyng
)
and
had
trotted
so
faste
towardes
the
enemies
,
that
thei
were
likelie
to
haue
been
out
of
breathe
,
and
in
greate
perill
:
had
thei
not
been
succoured
with
the
foresight
,
and
dexteritie
of
Capitaine
Read.
For
he
beholdyng
the
swiftenesse
of
the
wing
,
and
the
necessitie
of
the
cause
,
beganne
sodainly
to
mende
his
wonted
marche
,
and
helde
a
good
pace
and
trotte
towardes
the
village
,
hauyng
euer
an
eye
and
regarde
to
bryng
on
his
people
(
whiche
was
the
battaill
)
alwaies
in
good
order
and
breath
.
But
this
haste
and
bolde
attempte
was
no
soner
offered
,
but
the
enemie
thought
to
preuent
it
,
and
so
with
suche
horsmenne
as
thei
had
at
hande
,
thei
charged
our
footemen
,
who
were
so
strongly
garded
with
Pikes
,
that
the
horsemennes
labour
was
loste
,
and
some
of
them
slaine
emong
the
Pikes
,
thei
were
so
well
ioyned
,
and
clasped
together
.
By
this
tyme
went
of
all
the
small
shotte
of
the
enemies
battaill
,
and
as
God
would
(
our
menne
were
come
so
nere
,
that
thei
were
crept
vnder
the
daunger
of
the
hargaboze
,
by
meane
of
a
smother
and
smoke
,
that
a
greate
while
before
,
the
enemies
shot
and
ours
had
made
.
For
Capitaine
Read
espiyng
that
aduauntage
badd
marche
apace
,
to
come
to
the
ioynyng
:
so
that
through
this
occasion
the
enemies
shott
did
little
,
or
no
hurte
at
all
.
At
this
instaunt
were
our
people
euen
at
the
verie
entrie
of
the
village
,
and
a
Frenche
gentleman
as
seemed
,
beholdyng
Capitaine
Read
(
the
cheef
leader
of
our
battaill
,
marchyng
before
the
reste
)
leuied
his
peece
at
hym
,
myndyng
to
haue
shotte
,
but
by
trauesyng
of
grounde
,
Capitaine
Reade
staied
the
Frenche
mannes
hande
,
who
stepte
straight
waie
behinde
a
little
waule
(
and
at
the
enteryng
into
the
Toune
)
discharged
his
peecefull
at
the
breast
of
Capitaine
Reade
,
the
peece
beeyng
charged
with
twoo
bullettes
,
but
albeeit
it
was
so
nere
,
that
the
fire
flewe
in
his
face
,
yet
he
was
so
well
armed
,
that
the
shotte
but
rente
and
broke
his
Armour
,
and
did
hym
no
further
hurte
.
Wherevppon
Capitaine
Reade
steppes
to
the
Frencheman
,
and
so
thrust
hym
through
with
a
Halbert
:
an
other
gentleman
standyng
nere
this
,
offered
to
bee
taken
prisoner
:
but
Capitaine
Read
myndyng
to
doe
that
he
came
for
,
followed
his
enterprise
,
and
charged
on
the
battaill
of
the
enemie
,
that
stoode
as
stiffe
as
a
waule
,
till
our
men
laied
their
Pikes
lustely
vppon
theim
,
and
by
verie
fine
force
and
pushe
of
the
Picke
,
put
them
backe
,
and
caused
them
to
wheele
aboute
.
In
whiche
conflicte
sixe
hundreth
were
slaine
,
and
nine
score
and
three
persones
were
taken
,
and
brought
awaie
.
The
victorie
was
followed
a
small
season
,
with
as
muche
manhode
as
could
be
shewed
,
and
the
enemie
driuen
out
of
the
village
:
But
for
the
auoydyng
of
suche
daunger
,
as
ouer
farre
marchyng
into
a
straunge
Countrey
,
as
might
haue
brought
our
menne
vnto
:
Capitaine
Read
with
fame
and
victorie
,
retired
in
verie
good
order
,
and
maner
of
the
feelde
.
Now
I
praie
you
,
was
not
this
a
peece
of
seruice
,
worthy
the
honoring
,
and
because
many
at
home
,
that
neuer
saw
seruice
abrode
,
sittyng
on
soft
cushons
(
and
feles
no
hard
fortune
)
doeth
descant
of
euery
mans
doyng
:
yet
neither
knowes
plainsong
,
nor
vnderstandeth
measure
.
I
haue
thought
good
to
sette
out
plainly
sutche
a
peece
of
seruice
(
put
in
proofe
at
newe
Hauen
)
emong
the
reste
of
seruices
,
as
the
ignoraunte
babler
shal
be
a
shamed
to
speake
againste
,
and
the
manne
of
knowledge
shall
honour
,
and
hold
in
reputation
,
when
he
shall
heare
what
trothe
hath
reported
.
After
Capitaine
Rede
and
his
valliant
companions
(
capitains
and
soldiours
)
had
giuen
the
Ringraues
companie
an
ouerthrowe
,
there
befell
a
seconde
and
a
third
daies
seruice
:
sutche
and
so
noblie
maintained
and
followed
,
as
seldome
hath
been
seen
in
any
place
of
the
worlde
.
And
for
the
better
vnderstandyng
of
the
same
,
(
and
in
praise
of
our
Englishe
nation
)
I
will
rehearse
it
vnto
you
orderly
as
it
was
,
or
at
the
least
wise
as
well
as
I
can
.
The
Frenche
stomackyng
the
ouerthrowe
lately
spoken
of
,
(
and
the
Ringraue
seekyng
a
reuenge
)
drewe
a
draught
to
traine
our
men
out
of
the
toune
,
whiche
were
readie
enough
either
for
skimishe
,
or
any
other
maner
of
enterprise
:
and
to
this
seruice
on
the
sodaine
,
wente
out
one
maister
Charles
Leighton
,
as
leader
of
all
our
shot
in
the
feeld
,
that
daie
:
this
Charles
was
Sir
Thomas
Leightons
brother
then
there
,
and
now
gouernour
of
Garnesey
,
on
whose
good
seruice
I
could
speake
in
like
maner
.
But
now
to
my
former
matter
.
The
Frenche
side
with
as
greate
a
brauerie
,
and
order
of
warre
as
might
be
,
came
lustellie
to
prouoke
the
skirmishe
,
hauyng
certaine
bandes
of
horse
menne
for
their
garde
,
and
greate
aduauntage
:
And
our
Englishe
Soldiours
desirous
to
encounter
,
ranne
in
vpon
their
enemies
so
feercely
,
and
with
suche
a
couragious
charge
,
that
nothyng
but
smoke
of
shotte
,
and
flamyng
fire
was
seen
betweene
the
twoo
powers
.
And
alwaies
maister
Charles
Leighton
(
who
was
a
moste
notable
Soldiour
)
kepte
his
companie
in
so
warlike
an
order
,
that
the
horse
men
durst
not
charge
them
,
albeeit
thei
made
many
an
offer
,
and
ranne
in
vpon
our
men
sondorie
tymes
,
but
thei
came
so
sparkled
abroade
,
and
so
daungerously
(
without
fastnesse
of
troupe
,
and
suretie
of
force
)
that
our
armed
Pikes
had
many
of
them
at
their
pleasure
:
And
our
shotte
made
greate
hauocke
emong
their
cheefest
Soldiours
.
But
the
maner
of
this
fight
was
so
Soldiourly
handeled
,
that
those
of
the
Frenche
side
(
beyng
maisters
of
that
arte
)
were
learned
a
Schoole
poinct
of
skill
,
and
tooke
out
a
lesson
worthie
the
notyng
.
For
those
whiche
thei
tooke
for
ignorant
schollars
,
taught
a
newe
kinde
of
conuyng
,
and
shewed
an
Artificiall
poincte
of
pollecie
,
and
practice
of
warre
.
Whiche
was
sometymes
to
retire
vpon
fight
,
to
drawe
the
Frenche
forwarde
,
and
there
on
to
charge
with
the
Pike
in
bothe
the
handes
,
enterlarded
with
shotte
,
sworde
,
and
Targette
,
and
came
so
gallauntly
to
the
pushe
of
the
Pike
,
and
blowe
of
the
sworde
(
a
volley
of
Hargaboze
shotte
of
before
)
that
the
Frenche
and
Almains
thought
,
that
our
meinie
had
been
rather
dauncyng
the
Almaine
Haye
,
then
trauessyng
the
grounde
to
forsake
the
feelde
,
and
retire
into
the
Toune
,
and
albeeit
,
it
was
in
earnest
for
life
and
honour
our
Soldiours
did
striue
,
yet
thei
made
it
but
a
sporte
,
it
was
so
lustely
maintained
,
and
so
noblie
handeled
.
In
the
beginnyng
of
this
skirmiche
,
and
when
the
seruice
grewe
somwhat
hotte
and
furious
(
at
whiche
tyme
diuers
stoute
gentlemen
were
come
to
the
feelde
)
sir
Humfrey
Gilbart
was
hurte
with
the
shotte
of
a
Hargaboze
.
There
were
at
this
seruice
sondrie
of
our
gentlemen
,
as
maister
Thomas
Gorge
(
now
of
the
priuie
Chamber
)
maister
Ihon
Horssey
,
maister
Ihon
Souch
and
to
bee
shorte
,
diuers
of
good
callyng
and
reputation
,
whiche
I
must
omitte
,
for
that
an
other
daies
▪
seruice
muste
be
remembred
,
whche
was
vpon
a
Saterdaie
,
not
long
after
this
.
Yea
sutche
a
daies
seruice
it
was
,
as
who
so
euer
notes
it
well
,
shall
finde
matter
enough
to
talke
,
or
write
of
a
long
season
:
the
maner
whereof
a
litle
shall
bee
touched
,
because
suche
valliauncie
shall
remaine
as
a
spectacle
to
looke
into
,
while
the
siege
of
newe
Hauen
can
be
remembred
.
Now
as
you
haue
vnderstoode
,
the
Frenche
and
Almaines
desirous
of
honour
,
and
to
bryng
to
passe
that
thei
came
for
,
laied
an
ambushe
of
horsemen
and
footemen
priuily
for
their
purpose
.
And
so
a
fewe
of
theim
aboute
Dinner
tyme
,
approched
a
trenche
that
was
fortified
with
barrelles
,
(
because
the
grounde
serued
for
no
other
fortification
)
on
the
Peeble
,
and
there
our
menne
withstoode
theim
to
the
vttermoste
:
and
issued
out
of
the
same
trenche
diuers
tymes
,
with
the
force
thei
had
whiche
was
but
small
.
The
enemie
seeyng
the
Trenche
not
sufficiently
manned
,
waxed
more
bolder
then
thei
were
wont
,
and
so
meant
to
driue
our
small
power
into
the
toune
:
whiche
was
from
the
newe
deuised
Trenche
a
good
distaunce
,
and
so
determinyng
and
disbandyng
certaine
shotte
,
and
other
apt
Soldiours
for
sutche
an
exploite
,
thei
gallauntly
came
forwardes
,
and
in
a
little
season
(
yet
with
somwhat
adoe
)
thei
enioyed
the
Trenche
,
forcyng
our
men
to
retire
to
their
better
aduanntage
and
more
suretie
.
My
Lorde
of
Warwicke
beholdyng
this
broile
,
and
bold
attempte
(
not
meanyng
that
our
menne
should
either
lose
honour
or
grounde
)
beganne
to
bee
somewhat
moued
in
minde
and
for
that
he
would
beard
the
enemie
,
and
knowe
what
his
freendes
,
and
those
good
Soldiours
vnder
his
charge
would
doe
.
He
called
Capitaine
Horssey
,
now
sir
Edward
Horssey
Knight
(
and
Capitaine
of
the
Ile
of
Wight
)
and
asked
his
aduice
in
this
matter
:
who
aunswered
my
Lorde
,
that
he
and
his
power
,
with
the
helpe
and
aide
of
maister
Francis
Somersettes
bande
,
would
driue
the
Frenche
out
of
the
Trenches
,
and
that
right
soone
,
if
thei
that
issued
out
of
the
toune
,
followed
good
direction
and
order
.
My
Lorde
Lieutenant
agréed
to
this
deuice
:
And
so
capitaine
Horssey
had
the
whole
charge
of
this
seruice
,
who
marched
towardes
the
trenches
,
with
great
courage
,
and
hope
of
victorie
.
The
enemie
bothe
at
hande
and
farre
of
,
in
the
vewe
of
this
attempte
,
framed
themselues
to
defende
and
resiste
,
that
came
to
defeite
them
:
and
so
on
bothe
the
sides
,
a
hotte
peece
of
seruice
was
put
in
proofe
,
and
no
partie
was
well
,
that
might
any
waie
occupie
weapon
in
that
present
action
.
But
alwaie
the
Frenche
side
with
their
forces
(
whiche
were
double
,
or
treble
our
nomber
)
sought
aduauntage
,
how
to
giue
a
charge
on
our
menne
with
little
losse
:
whiche
Capitaine
Horssey
had
a
good
eye
vnto
,
and
sought
to
preuente
.
For
euen
as
the
enemie
came
lustely
on
to
doe
mischeef
by
horsemen
,
so
our
menne
mette
them
a
foote
as
stoutly
,
and
seemed
by
runnyng
vppon
the
Frenche
,
rather
to
giue
an
onsette
,
then
receiue
a
charge
,
by
whiche
pollecie
and
manhood
,
the
enemie
was
mutche
amased
,
and
suffered
some
losse
of
horses
,
whiche
could
not
bee
auoided
,
the
pusshe
of
the
Pike
was
so
well
offered
,
and
the
feight
so
couragiously
maintained
.
Yet
the
Frenche
foote
menne
so
applied
the
seruice
with
shotte
,
that
our
people
neded
more
handes
and
helpe
in
the
feelde
:
To
the
whiche
aide
my
Lorde
sent
sondrie
stoute
gentlemen
,
who
did
verie
valliantly
,
and
continued
the
skirmiche
a
long
season
,
wherein
one
maister
Chidley
,
and
some
other
of
our
side
were
slaine
.
And
the
enemie
seeyng
some
aduauntage
sente
diuerse
horse
menne
,
to
cutte
of
our
menne
from
the
Toune
,
and
were
likely
to
haue
dooen
greate
hurte
,
by
meane
that
many
of
our
Pikes
were
broken
,
and
but
a
verie
fewe
lefte
whole
to
defende
our
Shotte
,
and
withstandyng
a
charge
.
Maister
Thomas
Gorge
,
with
a
small
companie
of
gentle
menne
on
horsebacke
,
beholdyng
these
thynges
,
came
gallopyng
into
the
feelde
,
and
without
any
delaiyng
of
the
matter
,
gaue
a
charge
on
the
enemie
,
and
runnyng
in
emong
the
thickest
of
them
,
passed
and
persed
the
whole
troupe
,
and
returned
backe
againe
in
feight
through
the
same
power
,
with
no
little
hazarde
nor
honoure
.
Yet
in
the
necke
of
this
,
the
Frenche
charged
our
Pikes
a
freashe
,
who
mette
theim
in
the
faces
,
and
made
them
retire
:
albeeit
the
furie
of
the
skirmiche
continued
,
and
the
enemies
all
this
while
gaue
not
ouer
the
feelde
(
though
thei
had
loste
the
Trenche
thei
had
possessed
)
nor
shewed
no
signe
that
thei
were
wearie
,
and
would
marche
awaie
.
Thus
with
muche
a
dooe
,
and
with
greate
exercise
of
Armes
and
Marciall
attemptes
,
a
greate
parte
of
the
after
noone
was
consumed
:
our
menne
alwaies
keepyng
the
feelde
,
till
at
length
when
our
companies
were
come
together
,
and
were
out
of
the
daunger
of
the
greate
Shotte
,
(
whiche
before
could
not
bee
shotte
of
,
because
our
menne
were
pelle
melle
)
the
Ordinaunce
of
the
Toune
beganne
to
thonder
and
rattell
in
the
ayre
,
and
the
Armed
men
of
the
enemies
,
either
on
horsebacke
or
a
foote
,
beganne
to
shrinke
,
and
drawe
from
the
daunger
:
notwithstandyng
many
of
them
were
slaine
at
that
season
.
And
wee
had
loste
in
the
fight
some
gentlemen
and
good
Soldiours
,
emong
the
whiche
was
one
maister
Treimain
,
who
at
many
seruices
was
verie
forward
before
this
tyme
,
and
now
with
his
forewardnesse
and
misfortune
loste
his
life
.
So
this
seruice
brought
on
by
the
Ryngraue
,
maintained
by
the
Frenche
,
and
performed
by
the
Englishe
,
was
then
to
bee
taken
vp
,
for
want
of
better
tyme
to
execute
the
thynges
that
all
these
nations
exspected
.
And
here
is
to
bee
noted
,
that
the
Ryngraue
did
what
he
could
,
the
Frenche
did
attempt
that
thei
might
,
&
the
English
left
no
one
thyng
vndoen
,
that
was
answerable
to
the
tyme
.
For
from
the
beginnyng
that
newe
Hauen
was
possessed
,
to
the
verie
laste
daie
it
was
giuen
vp
,
our
Soldiours
neuer
laye
idell
:
but
did
alwaies
what
became
men
of
warre
with
as
greate
manhood
,
forecaste
,
iudgement
,
pollecie
,
and
honour
to
Englande
as
could
be
deuised
.
Neuer
out
of
feare
suspition
,
hazarde
,
and
doubt
to
bee
betraied
:
for
the
whiche
occasion
(
and
to
bee
in
some
certaintie
)
thei
were
faine
to
remoue
the
inhabitauntes
out
of
the
Toune
,
whiche
albeeit
it
seemed
a
kinde
of
hard
dealyng
,
&
straite
order
,
in
good
faith
it
could
not
bee
auoided
,
except
our
Nation
should
haue
put
their
neckes
into
the
yoke
,
and
haue
been
taught
to
drawe
(
contrarie
to
their
mindes
)
in
a
seruile
bande
of
bondage
.
And
this
is
to
bee
spoken
of
,
and
mutche
to
the
commendation
of
men
that
loue
their
owne
countrey
:
that
so
sone
as
thei
sawe
and
found
,
we
went
about
to
enioye
their
Toune
,
their
Shippes
,
their
Landes
,
and
suche
like
thynges
as
thei
had
before
in
their
owne
possession
.
Thei
forgatte
all
kynde
of
amitie
,
freendshipp
,
fauoure
,
promes
,
and
obedience
vnto
vs
,
and
stucke
so
faste
together
,
in
one
league
of
loue
emong
them selues
,
that
the
Papist
and
the
Protestant
,
were
bothe
become
our
enemies
,
and
although
in
Religion
thei
differed
farre
,
and
had
committed
many
offences
one
againste
an
other
,
in
Toune
,
in
Churche
,
and
open
feelde
.
Yet
to
driue
vs
out
of
their
kyngdome
,
thei
were
knitt
in
one
vnion
.
And
albeeit
that
the
remembraunce
of
old
quarrells
,
might
breede
some
harte
burne
,
and
be
an
occasion
that
thei
should
not
continue
in
freendshippe
and
fidelitie
,
yet
the
hatered
that
thei
bore
vnto
straungers
(
that
thei
sawe
were
maisters
of
their
goodes
)
made
them
forgette
any
former
iniurie
,
and
wronges
emong
them selues
,
and
fall
into
one
opinion
,
for
the
remediyng
of
their
presente
mischeefe
.
Whiche
agremente
of
theirs
,
and
neighbourly
loue
in
that
necessitie
:
maie
bee
lefte
for
an
euerlastyng
example
to
all
posteritie
and
ages
,
to
procure
euery
Nation
to
haue
in
admiration
and
reuerence
,
the
liberties
and
honour
of
the
soile
thei
are
borne
in
.
Now
as
I
haue
shewed
the
ouerthrowe
,
that
Capitaine
Read
and
his
company
gaue
:
the
seruice
that
maister
Charles
Leighton
was
the
leader
of
:
and
the
victorie
that
sir
Edward
Horssey
was
at
.
So
I
must
report
and
make
mention
of
the
good
speeches
that
the
Frenche
them selues
let
fall
openly
,
in
the
commendation
of
our
Englishe
Soldiours
:
by
which
good
wordes
it
appereth
,
that
suche
as
thinke
not
the
beste
of
the
seruice
at
newe
Hauen
,
doe
their
Countrey
men
wrong
.
For
as
I
haue
written
a
little
,
somewhat
in
their
praise
,
so
could
I
rehearse
mutche
more
to
their
commendation
.
But
I
must
make
excuse
presently
,
of
a
fault
that
folowes
ten
lines
after
,
whiche
the
printer
should
haue
placed
at
the
ouerthrowe
the
Ryngraue
had
.
And
yet
I
retourne
to
my
matter
,
and
saie
,
that
newe
Hauen
menne
were
worthie
to
be
spoken
of
:
and
should
suche
Capitaines
and
Soldiors
,
escape
the
praise
of
the
world
,
and
the
recitall
of
my
pen
,
no
sure
in
verie
deede
,
and
for
that
I
haue
gone
so
farre
in
their
behalfe
,
in
this
poinct
of
well
doyng
,
I
meane
as
commes
to
my
memorie
,
to
shewe
sonderie
of
their
other
seruices
,
and
feattes
of
warre
.
Not
onely
because
euery
manne
ought
to
reape
their
due
renowne
,
for
the
painfull
labours
thei
haue
taken
:
but
also
to
animate
and
encourage
others
,
to
seeke
by
dewe
desarte
,
the
like
good
meane
and
noble
commendation
,
a
thyng
more
precious
emong
menne
of
warre
,
then
any
other
riches
,
or
worldly
pleasure
.
The
Count
de
Ryngraue
standyng
emong
a
great
troup
of
horsemen
,
a
good
waie
of
,
beholdyng
this
ouerthrowe
beganne
to
muse
at
the
matter
:
and
albeit
he
had
loste
many
of
his
men
(
and
his
expectation
beyng
frustrate
)
he
gaue
great
commendation
to
the
Englishe
Soldiours
,
and
tolde
the
Frenche
,
that
thei
should
them selues
attempt
the
nexte
approche
.
For
he
helde
the
Englishe
nation
other
maner
of
men
,
then
thei
were
accounted
,
and
saied
withall
,
he
thought
but
to
haue
dealt
against
Soldiours
,
but
he
had
to
doe
with
the
Furies
of
helle
,
or
Spirites
of
the
ayre
.
Suche
was
the
noblenesse
and
good
disposition
of
the
Ryngraue
,
that
he
would
giue
his
enemies
fame
,
and
ecclipps
no
iotte
of
honor
from
them
,
that
well
had
deserued
.
Yea
,
this
Ryngraue
was
suche
a
noble
warriour
,
that
after
the
battaill
or
skirmishe
was
ended
,
or
any
peece
of
seruice
was
doen
,
he
would
sende
flaggons
of
wine
to
his
enemies
,
and
in
tyme
of
truce
,
or
breache
of
warre
(
whiche
he
vsed
often
for
honours
sake
)
he
would
make
bankettes
,
giue
giftes
,
shewe
liberalitie
,
and
bee
as
courteous
as
a
little
child
:
And
in
the
feelde
a
verie
Lion
more
like
then
a
manne
,
and
yet
a
man
of
moste
sober
iudgement
and
knowledge
.
The
whole
Campe
of
the
Frenchemen
came
to
a
greate
hille
,
after
the
ouerthrowe
that
the
Ryngraue
had
,
and
fullie
bent
to
besiege
Newe
Hauen
:
thei
made
euery
daie
a
newe
approche
to
the
toune
,
in
moste
soldiourlike
sorte
and
order
,
and
to
holde
them
in
some
awe
,
as
our
power
might
,
many
skirmishes
were
made
,
and
good
pollicie
and
courage
was
put
in
excersice
,
and
nothyng
lefte
vndoen
,
that
either
tyme
or
place
would
permit
.
But
what
should
I
further
delate
,
of
thinges
paste
mannes
helpe
and
pollice
:
when
Gods
wrathe
and
visitation
dooeth
cutte
of
all
argumentes
,
and
makes
a
quicke
dispatche
of
the
matter
.
For
the
Plague
was
so
sore
in
the
Toune
,
that
many
men
in
a
rage
did
leape
out
of
the
windowes
,
into
the
streate
:
and
suche
a
generall
disease
and
dispairing
sicknesse
,
was
spread
throughout
the
whole
companie
of
soldiours
,
that
no
one
stoode
in
certaintie
of
his
own
state
or
life
.
Suche
was
the
heate
and
furie
of
the
fearefull
Pestilence
,
and
greeuous
botche
,
a
dauntyng
malladie
,
that
takes
awaie
the
vse
of
witte
,
and
courage
of
man
.
Well
,
albeeit
that
this
greate
mortalitie
,
and
miserable
state
of
life
,
might
haue
vtterly
ouerthrowen
,
the
valliaunte
myndes
of
many
good
men
:
yet
our
people
stoode
so
stoutely
to
their
defence
,
that
many
exploites
were
taken
in
hande
,
and
thei
forced
the
enemie
to
make
an
offer
vnto
theim
,
of
a
noble
composition
,
whiche
of
necessitie
muste
bee
taken
(
all
thynges
considered
)
for
there
was
no
succour
to
bee
hoped
,
for
to
come
out
of
Englande
.
And
some
that
were
sent
thether
,
as
sir
Thomas
Finche
,
and
diuerse
other
gentlemen
,
were
caste
awaie
by
the
sea
,
and
presently
drouned
.
Then
noble
Capitaine
Randall
(
who
can
not
haue
to
muche
fame
)
who
after
was
slaine
in
Irelande
,
was
appoincted
by
the
Lorde
Lieutenaunt
,
to
tarrie
behynde
when
the
Toune
was
yeelded
vp
:
to
see
all
conditions
and
capitulations
performed
,
whiche
were
but
slackly
handeled
,
and
looked
vnto
by
the
Frenche
,
and
yet
in
effecte
our
soldiours
(
with
as
muche
honour
as
men
in
their
plight
could
haue
)
came
home
,
and
brought
muche
ordinaunce
and
goods
with
them
.
But
thei
had
so
greate
a
plague
still
emong
them
,
that
many
here
at
their
arriuall
,
departed
this
worlde
.
This
was
but
a
peece
of
the
seruice
,
that
capitaine
Read
was
at
in
his
daies
:
for
his
moste
paines
hath
been
taken
aboute
the
warres
of
Scotlande
,
and
roades
made
into
that
Countrey
:
where
he
hath
borne
hym self
so
well
,
and
that
a
long
season
,
that
all
those
who
knowes
the
same
(
or
can
call
the
seruice
to
memorie
)
giueth
good
reporte
thereof
,
and
speaketh
muche
to
the
ad●●●ncement
of
his
good
name
.
And
seeyng
that
in
〈◊〉
praise
and
others
,
my
penne
hath
gone
so
farre
,
I
wil
●
touche
the
seruices
of
sir
Willyam
Winter
,
who
bothe
by
lande
and
Sea
,
hath
often
been
emploied
.
And
in
the
rehearsall
of
some
parte
of
his
doynges
,
I
will
as
I
maie
make
mention
of
sir
Willyam
Drewrie
,
sir
Humfrey
Gilbart
,
sir
Willyam
Morgane
,
Capitain
Barkley
,
Capitaine
Morgane
,
Capitaine
Chester
,
Capitaine
Bingham
,
and
sondrie
that
of
late
daies
hath
been
in
diuers
places
of
daunger
,
and
good
seruices
.
But
this
is
to
bee
looked
for
,
that
the
honourable
sir
Iames
Croftes
(
now
Controller
of
the
Queenes
Maiesties
houshold
)
sir
Ihon
Walloppe
,
sir
Iames
Wilfforde
,
and
sir
Ihon
Bellyngame
,
bee
not
forgotten
,
and
that
euery
one
of
these
,
as
remembrance
shall
serue
me
,
be
breefly
spoken
of
.
For
if
at
large
I
touched
some
of
their
noble
exploites
,
(
that
laste
I
haue
made
mention
of
)
I
should
make
a
greate
volume
of
the
same
,
and
so
seeme
to
write
a
Chronicle
,
that
meanes
but
to
treate
of
a
fewe
passages
,
for
the
passyng
of
the
tyme
,
and
the
pleasuryng
of
my
freendes
.
The
seruices
of
sir
Iames
Croftes
,
maie
well
bee
vnderstoode
,
if
you
loke
into
the
siege
of
Bullein
:
The
warres
of
Scotlande
,
and
the
troublesome
affaires
of
Irelande
,
where
he
was
Lorde
Deputie
.
And
who
that
looketh
depely
in
the
mannagyng
of
those
matters
,
shall
iustely
of
hym self
,
yeelde
due
honoure
to
the
persone
that
hath
taken
these
paines
,
without
the
reporte
of
my
penne
,
or
further
publishyng
of
the
same
.
Sir
Ihon
Walloppe
that
long
remained
gouernour
of
Gines
:
and
the
seruice
of
the
good
knight
Bellyngame
,
once
lorde
Deputie
of
Irelande
,
are
of
no
little
moment
.
For
the
one
had
suche
a
hurt
by
a
counter
boffe
that
he
got
at
Laundersey
,
that
he
carried
it
to
his
death
(
albeit
he
liued
long
after
,
and
did
many
greate
thynges
)
and
the
other
was
giuen
to
suche
valliauntnesse
(
as
his
doynges
doe
declare
)
that
in
a
maner
we
can
not
imagine
more
worthinesse
in
twoo
men
,
nor
rightly
attribute
vnto
them
,
the
glorie
thei
deserue
.
If
neuer
any
seruice
but
the
siege
of
Haddyngton
were
spoken
of
,
it
were
sufficient
enough
,
and
a
witnesse
greate
to
shewe
the
greate
mynde
,
and
manly
courage
of
sir
Iames
Wilfforde
.
For
he
beeyng
there
as
generall
,
helde
out
the
force
of
Fraunce
,
and
power
of
Scotlande
:
the
Queene
mother
lookyng
and
liyng
at
the
siege
,
and
the
Toune
was
so
battered
and
beaten
,
that
men
on
horsebacke
might
haue
ridden
ouer
the
breache
.
Yet
notwithstandyng
,
besides
a
nomber
of
other
greate
causes
,
to
make
men
rander
a
Forte
,
sir
Iames
Wilfforde
kepte
the
enemies
out
:
and
did
so
noblie
euery
waie
,
neither
scarcitie
of
victuall
,
nor
want
of
pouder
could
moue
his
inuincible
mynde
.
For
the
more
was
the
miserie
,
the
greater
grewe
his
harte
,
and
hope
to
haue
good
Fortune
:
for
the
whiche
assured
fortitude
and
determinate
purpose
,
he
purchased
euerlastyng
renowne
.
And
liues
at
this
daie
in
as
freshe
memorie
,
as
he
were
seen
presently
before
the
eyes
of
the
people
.
In
that
season
was
a
place
called
Donglasse
at
our
deuotion
,
where
one
maister
Aston
was
placed
,
and
an
other
fort
beyonde
Fiffeside
called
Broghttie
Cragge
,
where
sir
Ihon
Luttrell
did
serue
verie
valliauntely
a
longe
tyme
.
And
at
a
Toune
nere
the
same
Forte
called
Dondie
,
Sir
Willyam
Winter
and
others
,
did
a
greate
peece
of
seruice
,
worthie
the
rehearsall
.
But
for
that
Broghttie
Cragge
was
at
the
length
loste
,
for
lacke
of
succour
out
of
Englande
,
I
leaue
out
muche
matter
,
that
otherwise
I
had
written
.
After
the
Siege
of
Haddyngton
was
raised
,
and
the
Frenche
had
withdrawen
their
batterie
,
and
the
old
Erle
of
Shrewesburie
was
come
with
an
armie
,
and
laie
at
a
place
called
Abberladie
.
The
Earle
of
Linkcolne
that
now
is
,
beeyng
Lorde
Admirall
,
landed
a
greate
companie
of
soldiours
at
a
Pile
called
sainct
Minius
,
where
our
Fortune
was
but
frowarde
:
and
for
that
I
was
taken
prisoner
there
,
and
our
people
had
no
greate
good
happe
:
It
shall
remaine
vntouched
any
further
.
A
little
before
this
,
betwene
Tom
Tallent
and
the
Basse
some
Frenche
Gallies
were
placed
,
and
three
of
our
Shippes
liyng
in
vewe
of
theim
,
(
the
Antheloppe
,
the
Harte
,
and
the
Grand
Mestresse
,
so
were
the
three
Shippes
called
)
hoissed
vp
Sailes
to
feight
with
the
Galleis
,
whiche
were
twoo
and
twentie
in
nomber
:
but
there
befell
suche
a
misfortune
by
castyng
aboute
to
fetche
aborde
,
that
our
Shippes
fell
one
in
others
takell
,
and
were
so
harde
clasped
together
,
through
meane
of
mischaunce
,
that
thei
might
not
shoote
at
aduauntage
,
to
annoye
the
enemie
.
Who
espiyng
this
oportunitie
,
came
orderly
forward
,
and
shot
many
shott
of
Cannons
emong
vs
,
breakyng
doune
a
Maste
or
twoo
,
and
killing
a
fewe
persones
.
But
in
the
ende
the
Shippes
were
set
free
,
and
my
Lorde
Admirall
had
sent
to
our
succours
,
and
the
calme
was
gone
,
in
so
muche
that
the
gale
of
Wynde
blewe
our
shippes
full
vpon
the
Gallies
,
whiche
the
French
beeyng
in
feare
of
,
drewe
apace
towardes
the
Shore
,
and
ranne
their
Gallies
on
grounde
.
But
ere
thei
could
departe
out
of
our
daunger
,
wee
were
so
nere
them
,
that
our
Bowe
men
shot
into
their
Gallies
,
and
our
Cannons
made
a
great
murther
,
and
hauocke
emong
the
poore
slaues
,
whose
leggs
armes
,
and
Ores
I
sawe
flie
about
,
as
the
force
of
our
shotte
might
attaine
them
.
These
Gallies
hopyng
to
keepe
victuall
from
Broghttie
Cragge
,
crepte
a
long
by
the
Shore
,
and
encountred
a
Shippe
wherein
was
Capitaine
Peers
(
now
seruyng
in
Irelande
,
and
then
a
venterar
)
and
laied
so
sore
to
his
charge
that
thei
shotte
his
Ensigne
through
and
through
,
and
were
like
to
haue
bouged
the
Shippe
,
but
he
mindyng
more
his
reputation
,
then
regardyng
the
hazarde
he
was
in
,
plied
the
Gallies
so
well
,
that
thei
durste
not
approche
ouer
nere
,
and
so
in
the
meane
while
came
a
lustie
gale
of
winde
,
and
sente
Capitaine
Peers
from
the
Frenche
Gallies
,
to
his
greate
safetie
,
and
the
comfort
of
his
freendes
and
countrey
men
.
Our
Shippes
manned
furthe
Boates
,
and
set
vppon
diuerse
sailes
that
laie
in
Bornte
Ilande
,
and
so
spoiled
them
,
and
lefte
them
on
a
flamyng
fire
:
and
thereon
rowed
towardes
a
mightie
greate
Carrecke
,
that
laie
vnder
the
succoure
of
Ynchskeeth
,
and
boorded
the
same
Carreck
,
and
so
burnt
it
:
the
fire
whereof
discharged
many
greate
shotte
in
the
said
Shippe
,
before
our
menne
could
come
aborde
againe
,
but
that
shotte
did
little
hurte
at
all
:
and
our
Nauie
in
the
meane
season
,
laie
in
the
mouthe
of
the
Frithe
,
not
farre
from
an
Ilande
called
the
Maay
.
Within
a
short
while
after
,
was
there
a
lustie
gentilman
(
and
a
seruiceable
)
sent
to
take
Yntchskeeth
,
his
name
was
maister
Ihon
Cotton
,
a
Capitaine
of
good
account
,
he
landed
and
valliauntly
tooke
the
Ilande
,
but
when
our
Shipps
departed
from
the
Frithe
,
the
Frenche
and
Scottes
menne
entered
the
Ilande
againe
,
and
recouered
it
to
our
greate
discontent
:
in
whiche
furie
and
fight
Capitain
Cotton
was
slaine
,
albeeit
he
did
what
became
a
man
of
stoute
harte
and
courage
,
and
fought
it
out
to
the
laste
man
in
his
companie
:
whiche
made
the
enemies
maruaile
,
consideryng
thei
were
voide
of
hope
to
be
succoured
and
releued
.
The
Scottes
and
Frenchemen
takyng
a
greate
despite
,
to
goe
without
Haddyngton
liyng
so
long
before
it
,
determined
in
a
mornyng
to
assaile
it
manfully
,
and
to
trie
what
Fortune
and
force
of
menne
might
compasse
.
So
the
Ryngraue
and
nombers
of
the
Frenche
side
,
came
priuelie
from
Edenborough
,
and
set
vpon
the
base
courte
of
Haddyngton
,
and
in
verie
deede
were
likely
to
haue
distressed
the
Toune
,
if
good
watche
and
circumspection
had
not
preuented
that
approche
.
For
the
enemies
were
in
the
base
Court
,
and
beganne
to
glorie
muche
of
their
conquest
,
but
one
gaue
fire
to
a
greate
peece
that
stoode
full
of
haileshotte
,
at
the
enterie
of
the
gate
,
and
slue
diuerse
of
the
enemies
,
whereat
our
men
issued
and
dealt
so
valliauntly
with
the
enemie
that
thei
retired
,
and
loste
all
their
labour
.
At
this
tyme
either
sir
Iames
A
Croftes
was
generall
there
,
or
anone
after
.
For
Sir
Iames
Wilfforde
was
either
before
taken
prisoner
at
Donbarre
,
or
within
a
shorte
season
after
.
But
how
so
euer
that
cace
standeth
,
the
soldiours
of
Haddyngton
kept
the
toune
,
and
wanne
suche
fame
thereby
,
that
to
this
present
age
thei
are
spoken
of
and
honoured
.
Whiles
these
thynges
were
in
dooyng
,
tyme
roulled
on
,
and
produced
further
matter
.
For
the
wheele
tourned
,
and
Fortune
so
frouned
at
our
prosperitie
,
that
the
worlde
began
to
fall
to
declination
,
and
so
Haddyngton
was
rased
,
and
left
to
those
that
would
possesse
it
,
and
the
Frenche
hauing
some
hope
,
to
recouer
what
thei
loste
before
,
tooke
occasion
offred
by
some
sodaine
alteration
,
and
common
course
of
worldlie
affaires
,
and
therevpon
thei
besieged
Bullein
Barke
,
the
old
Man
,
and
many
other
members
belongyng
to
Bullein
,
and
a
greate
capitaine
called
Mounsire
de
Termes
was
in
Scotlande
,
preparyng
to
besiege
Lawther
Forte
,
where
Sir
Hugh
Willoughbie
had
gouernment
,
with
whom
was
Capitaine
Colbie
,
Capitaine
Maneryng
,
Capitaine
Haeles
,
Capitaine
Whitton
,
Capitaine
Colliar
,
Capitaine
Knapp
and
others
,
whose
names
I
haue
forgot
,
albeeit
I
was
then
there
newlie
escaped
out
of
Scotlande
.
The
saied
Mounsire
de
Termes
laie
a
long
Mile
(
with
his
whole
Campe
)
from
Lawtherfort
,
and
wee
to
make
hym
sport
,
deuised
that
some
lustie
gentlemen
,
should
clapp
on
white
scarffes
,
and
so
ride
like
Scottes
men
into
the
enemies
Campe
,
whiche
we
performed
,
and
slue
diuerse
in
the
Markette
place
,
and
came
awaie
vntouched
.
And
not
contente
with
this
little
attempte
(
for
emong
our
companies
were
soldiours
of
Haddyngton
)
wee
daiely
offered
to
skirmishe
,
when
in
the
feelde
was
alwaies
to
encounter
vs
fiue
to
one
of
as
good
Soldiours
,
as
then
were
to
bee
founde
in
Fraunce
.
But
our
hope
and
forewardnesse
was
suche
,
that
euery
seconde
daie
,
we
did
somewhat
worthy
the
meetyng
:
and
at
this
seruice
came
one
Ihon
Carr
of
Warke
(
a
valliaunte
olde
Capitaine
,
and
a
speciall
Soldiours
in
those
partes
)
and
brought
harde
Cheese
and
pouder
to
vs
.
For
the
eatyng
of
Horses
did
argue
,
harde
Cheese
was
as
welcome
as
pouder
:
yet
none
of
them
bothe
might
be
spared
in
that
extremitie
.
Mounsire
de
Termes
beyng
desirous
of
victorie
,
determined
to
come
with
Ladders
,
and
so
to
scale
the
fort
,
wherof
we
had
woorde
,
and
prepared
to
receiue
hym
with
an
vnfreendly
welcome
:
and
for
that
we
founde
he
brake
his
daie
,
and
would
waxe
wearie
of
rest
,
by
long
liyng
idle
in
a
place
.
The
Generall
caused
all
the
greate
Ordinaunce
of
the
fort
,
to
bee
bente
fullie
vppon
Determes
his
Campe
(
Capitaine
Manneryng
in
deede
putte
that
deuice
in
hedde
and
practise
first
)
and
early
in
the
mornyng
on
an
Easter
daie
,
the
whole
greate
artillerie
was
discharged
on
Determes
his
Campe
,
which
slue
diuerse
,
and
so
vexed
the
Campe
:
that
as
you
see
a
nomber
of
Crowes
flie
out
of
a
wood
,
when
a
harkaboize
is
shotte
of
,
so
the
Frenchemen
came
out
of
their
Hiue
,
that
yeeldeth
no
Honie
,
and
gaue
vs
a
sower
and
sharpe
encounter
.
For
in
a
small
season
thei
draue
vs
out
of
the
feelde
,
and
gaue
an
attempte
to
winne
the
base
Courte
,
where
wee
attended
their
commyng
,
and
stroue
with
them
so
stoutly
,
that
in
that
struggle
wee
were
ioyned
,
and
wrastled
together
,
as
daungerously
as
any
man
liuyng
maie
imagine
,
but
in
suche
order
,
that
the
Frenche
were
forced
to
retire
a
little
,
and
we
were
faine
to
recouer
the
Forte
:
and
yet
the
Frenche
so
valliauntly
handled
their
busines
,
that
thei
laye
vnder
the
rampire
of
the
Base
courte
,
and
slue
sondrie
of
our
soldiours
,
that
could
not
in
due
season
come
in
.
Emong
the
cheef
Capitaine
Manneryng
had
his
deathes
wounde
,
and
fell
doune
in
the
dike
before
the
gate
:
whose
bodie
we
recouered
with
very
little
losse
,
but
he
died
within
three
daies
after
.
And
the
Frenche
missyng
that
thei
sought
,
retired
that
presente
night
to
their
Campe
:
where
thei
abode
not
tenne
daies
,
but
a
peace
was
concluded
,
and
we
marched
all
towardes
Barwicke
.
Now
here
is
to
bee
noted
,
that
in
those
daies
wee
had
greate
soldiours
a
liue
,
and
moste
of
theim
at
Barwicke
,
as
Capitaine
Honte
,
Capitaine
Sanders
,
Capitaine
Tems
,
Capitaine
Pickman
,
and
verie
many
others
of
good
experience
and
credite
.
Now
I
muste
leaue
to
your
iudgementes
(
and
readyng
of
other
bookes
)
the
warres
of
Scotlande
,
and
will
shewe
you
of
some
seruices
that
happened
in
Irelande
,
duryng
the
tyme
that
sir
Anthonie
Sellenger
was
Lorde
deputie
there
who
was
a
graue
and
fatherly
wise
gouernour
,
and
had
muche
a
doe
in
that
countrey
,
to
bryng
thynges
in
good
perfection
and
quietnesse
.
For
the
Lordes
of
that
soile
,
were
at
that
presence
giuen
to
sondrie
troublesome
practises
,
whom
he
reformed
,
and
set
in
very
peaceable
estate
:
emong
the
rest
was
one
Makarttie
More
,
whiche
helde
out
a
greate
season
,
but
the
Lorde
Deputie
goyng
against
hym
with
an
armie
,
made
hym
come
in
at
Corke
,
where
vppon
his
humble
submission
,
I
sawe
hym
beare
the
sworde
before
the
Lorde
Deputie
.
Yet
albeeit
,
that
in
this
and
many
other
seruices
,
sir
Anthonie
Sellenger
at
seuerall
tymes
,
deserued
greate
commendation
(
he
beeyng
a
knight
of
the
Garter
)
yet
his
fortune
was
so
aduerse
and
contrarie
,
that
he
was
seldome
at
home
in
his
Countrey
out
of
trouble
,
and
daunger
of
displeasure
,
and
felte
as
many
haue
dooen
(
that
gouerned
Irelande
)
the
self
same
plague
that
Scipio
Affricane
possessed
for
his
praise
,
the
greef
whereof
brought
sir
Anthonie
to
his
graue
:
as
the
workes
I
could
shewe
of
his
one
pennyng
can
testifie
.
For
this
honourable
knight
had
an
excellent
gifte
to
write
in
verse
or
prose
,
and
was
of
so
tractable
a
nature
and
condition
,
that
moste
men
did
honour
hym
,
as
muche
for
his
vertues
,
as
for
his
office
and
callyng
.
But
my
matter
dependeth
not
onely
in
one
mannes
merites
or
praise
:
wherefore
I
doe
passe
to
other
thynges
,
that
commeth
to
my
mynde
.
In
Irelande
at
those
daies
was
the
noble
Capitaine
Randall
,
Capitaine
Masterson
,
Capitaine
Lippiarde
,
Capitaine
Thomas
Smith
,
Capitain
Coolley
,
and
a
nomber
of
other
Capitaines
that
now
are
out
of
my
remembraunce
,
who
for
seruice
and
well
doyng
,
are
nothing
inferiour
to
many
good
Capitaines
that
I
haue
named
before
.
The
honourable
sir
Iames
A
Crofttes
was
Lorde
Deputie
of
Irelande
(
and
had
taken
the
sworde
at
Corke
of
sir
Anthonie
Sellenger
)
at
this
season
when
many
greate
thinges
was
to
bee
dooen
:
And
he
had
no
small
regarde
to
his
charge
and
gouernement
,
the
seruices
theim selues
,
are
sufficiente
argumente
of
his
no
little
labour
and
diligence
,
and
maie
well
enough
declare
that
whiche
I
omit
,
and
for
want
of
laisure
doe
not
speake
of
.
Now
the
warres
burste
out
betweene
the
French
kyng
and
the
Emperour
,
on
whose
sides
sondrie
Englishe
gentlemen
,
serued
for
knowledge
sake
,
and
reputation
.
And
on
the
French
side
did
Capitaine
Crayer
,
Capitaine
Twittie
and
their
companie
florishe
,
and
did
many
exploites
,
as
in
an
other
place
of
my
booke
I
haue
reported
.
And
on
the
Emperours
side
was
Capitaine
Plonket
,
Capitaine
Matson
,
and
a
greate
nomber
of
verie
valliaunt
soldiours
of
our
nation
,
who
sought
nothyng
but
credite
,
renowme
,
and
good
report
.
Sir
Willyam
Drewrie
(
now
Lorde
Iustice
of
Irelande
)
was
then
so
gallauntly
disposed
,
that
he
did
but
daiely
search
where
,
or
how
he
might
bestowe
his
tyme
in
seruice
,
and
so
serued
a
long
season
,
to
his
greate
commendation
with
the
Emperour
,
as
heretofore
I
haue
rehearsed
.
And
he
was
so
enclined
to
Marshall
affaires
,
that
when
forraine
warres
were
ended
,
he
sought
entertainement
at
Gines
and
those
partes
,
whiche
had
warre
with
the
Frenche
,
for
kyng
Phillippes
quarrell
.
And
he
hauyng
charge
,
and
a
lustie
bande
of
horsemen
did
many
thynges
,
that
merites
good
likyng
.
For
at
that
tyme
was
muche
adoe
,
and
a
bande
of
horsemen
verie
well
appoincted
,
and
full
of
gentlemen
,
was
sente
from
the
lorde
Warden
,
an
honourable
and
a
worthie
gentleman
,
(
moste
full
of
noblenesse
)
the
Lorde
Cheinees
father
now
liuyng
.
In
this
bande
,
and
belongyng
to
that
charge
,
was
sondrie
of
the
Keises
,
gentlemen
of
good
seruice
,
maister
Crippes
hauyng
the
leadyng
of
all
that
companie
.
There
was
sente
in
like
sorte
from
the
Prince
,
Maister
Willyam
Harbertes
brother
of
sainct
Gillians
,
called
maister
George
Harbertte
,
with
a
bande
of
footemen
,
and
one
Capitaine
Borne
whose
Lieutenaunt
I
was
,
at
the
siege
of
Gines
.
These
bandes
a
good
season
before
Callice
and
Gines
were
taken
,
ioynyng
with
other
bandes
of
Callice
,
did
make
diuerse
iourneis
into
Bollinnoyes
,
and
sped
verie
well
:
Sir
William
Dreurie
at
euery
seruice
,
deserued
no
little
praise
,
and
one
Capitaine
Winnibancke
an
auncient
soldiour
,
was
oftentymes
so
forward
,
that
he
was
ronne
ones
through
the
buttocke
with
a
Launce
:
Many
gentlemen
in
those
seruices
did
well
and
worthely
:
And
sondrie
tymes
the
Lorde
Wardeins
bande
was
to
be
praised
.
And
at
length
a
voyage
was
made
by
the
consente
,
and
whole
power
of
Callice
and
Gines
,
to
fetche
a
prey
from
Bolleyn
gates
(
Mounsire
Snarppoule
then
beeyng
gouernour
of
Bolleyn
)
but
we
could
not
handle
the
matter
so
priuilie
,
but
the
Frenche
by
espiall
,
had
gotten
woorde
thereof
.
Notwithstandyng
,
as
Soldiours
commonly
goes
forwarde
with
their
deuise
:
so
we
marched
secretly
all
the
whole
night
,
to
come
to
our
purposed
enterprise
:
and
our
footemen
whereof
sir
Harry
Palmer
(
a
man
of
greate
experience
)
had
the
leadyng
.
He
remained
with
the
whole
power
of
footemen
nere
the
Blacke
Neastes
,
as
a
stale
to
annoye
the
enemie
,
and
succour
for
suche
as
were
driuen
in
,
if
any
suche
occasion
came
.
So
the
horse
bandes
brake
into
the
Countrey
,
and
preased
nere
Bollayne
,
where
was
a
greate
nomber
of
gallaunt
soldiours
to
receiue
them
?
but
our
horsemen
makyng
small
accounte
of
the
matter
,
beganne
to
prey
the
countrey
,
and
driue
a
bootie
from
the
face
of
the
enemies
.
The
Frenche
horsemen
takyng
their
aduauntage
,
offered
a
skirmishe
to
detracte
tyme
,
till
better
oportunitie
serued
to
giue
a
charge
.
This
couragious
bickeryng
grewe
so
hotte
,
that
the
Frenche
bandes
beganne
to
showe
,
and
our
menne
must
abide
a
shocke
,
or
retire
hardely
with
some
foile
,
wherevppon
the
cheefest
of
our
horsemen
,
charged
those
of
the
Frenche
that
were
nerest
daunger
,
by
whiche
attempt
the
Frenche
staied
a
while
,
but
vpon
a
small
pause
thei
charged
our
menne
againe
,
and
ouerthrewe
of
the
Blacke
Launces
a
thirtie
,
carriyng
awaie
with
theim
into
Bulleyne
,
eighteene
gentlemen
prisoners
.
This
skirmishe
beganne
at
seuen
of
the
clocke
in
the
mornyng
,
and
lasted
in
verie
greate
seruice
till
a
leuen
.
And
from
this
ouerthrowe
came
diuerse
Soldiours
fore
wounded
,
to
our
foote
bandes
whose
heauinesse
made
the
valliaunte
sorte
plucke
vp
their
hartes
,
and
seeke
a
reuenge
.
Then
albeeit
that
foote
Capitaines
and
Gentlemen
,
seldome
leaues
their
bandes
,
and
venters
beyonde
their
charge
(
a
rule
to
bee
muche
regarded
)
yet
the
stoutest
Capitaines
and
Gentlemen
,
founde
meanes
to
horse
theim selues
on
Carte
horses
,
and
vittellers
nagges
,
and
put
certain
skarffes
,
in
maner
of
Guidons
on
staues
endes
,
shewyng
those
Guidons
vnder
a
hill
in
seuerall
sortes
,
sometymes
appearyng
with
twentie
men
,
sometymes
thirtie
:
and
laste
of
all
made
shewe
of
all
our
nomber
,
whiche
was
not
fiftie
,
and
so
with
a
courageous
crie
,
sette
vppon
the
enemies
(
leauyng
some
of
these
deuised
Guidons
behinde
on
the
hill
toppe
)
and
charged
theim
with
suche
a
furie
,
that
thei
lefte
their
bootie
,
and
stoode
to
their
defence
,
but
in
fine
were
forced
to
retire
,
for
by
the
little
staie
wee
helde
the
enemie
in
,
our
footemen
had
laisure
to
marche
,
the
sounde
of
whose
Drommes
gaue
no
greate
courage
to
the
Frenche
.
For
thei
thereon
gaue
backe
,
and
lefte
some
of
their
beste
soldiours
behinde
theim
,
whiche
wee
brought
to
Gines
,
driuyng
the
prey
before
vs
,
that
was
gotten
in
the
mornyng
,
loste
in
a
skirmishe
,
and
recouered
againe
at
Noone
.
At
this
seruice
was
Sir
Willyam
Druerie
,
Capitaine
Alexander
of
Newnam
Bridge
,
Capitaine
Crippes
,
Capitaine
Reyes
,
and
three
of
his
brethren
,
Capitaine
George
Harbert
,
and
sondrie
others
in
like
maner
,
that
merites
good
reporte
.
Our
power
mett
many
tymes
together
,
and
did
muche
hurte
at
Bolleynnoyes
:
and
we
besieged
Fines
Castell
and
wanne
it
.
Blosshyng
Churche
,
and
ouerthrewe
it
,
and
killed
all
the
men
that
therein
wee
founde
:
because
sir
Harry
Palmer
was
hurte
through
the
arme
there
with
a
shotte
.
A
long
season
our
fortune
was
good
,
till
at
length
by
some
ouersight
or
mishappe
(
lette
the
blame
faule
where
it
ought
)
we
loste
Callice
,
and
Gines
.
But
a
little
I
praie
you
giue
me
leaue
,
to
touche
truely
the
siege
of
Gines
,
not
because
I
had
some
charge
there
:
But
for
that
sondrie
reportes
hath
been
raised
thereof
,
by
those
that
neuer
throughlie
knewe
,
or
vnderstoode
the
matter
.
The
verie
trothe
is
,
after
Callice
was
wonne
,
and
that
all
hope
was
taken
from
vs
,
for
any
succour
out
of
Englande
,
our
generall
the
honourable
Lorde
Greye
that
is
dedde
,
and
maister
Leawes
Diue
his
Lieutenaunt
,
sir
Harry
Palmer
,
and
all
the
Capitaines
of
Gines
:
Determined
to
abide
the
worste
that
Fortune
,
or
the
Frenche
could
doe
.
And
the
daie
of
the
first
approche
the
enemie
made
,
wee
offered
a
hotte
and
stoute
skirmishe
,
but
beyng
driuen
in
by
an
ouer
greate
power
(
though
our
whole
people
were
thirteene
hundreth
men
)
we
kepe
the
Toune
awhile
.
But
consideryng
the
Castell
to
bee
moste
strongest
,
and
doubtyng
by
a
Cambozade
,
or
sodaine
assault
,
the
toune
might
be
wonne
(
for
it
was
but
weake
)
we
retired
our
whole
power
into
the
Castell
,
and
so
manned
the
base
Courte
,
the
Braies
,
an
Bulwarkes
,
the
Keepe
,
the
Catte
,
the
harte
of
the
Castell
,
and
all
that
was
necessarie
with
double
menne
.
And
out
of
Flaunders
at
the
presente
siege
,
came
fiftie
valliaunt
Spaniardes
,
and
a
bande
of
Burgonions
,
Mounsire
Dieffkie
beyng
their
Capitaine
,
and
Mounsire
Mon
Dragon
was
leader
of
the
Spaniardes
.
These
Burgonions
were
placed
in
Mary
Bulwarke
with
Capitaine
Bornes
bande
,
whose
Lieutenaunte
I
was
.
The
fiftie
Spaniardes
were
placed
in
the
Braies
,
where
Capitaine
Lambert
had
some
shott
to
succour
them
.
Against
this
Bulwarke
(
whiche
was
thought
inprenable
)
the
greate
Batterie
was
planted
,
albeit
three
or
fower
daies
were
spente
(
wee
helde
the
enemies
suche
plaie
)
before
the
Batterie
was
planted
.
And
one
daie
we
issued
,
and
sette
vppon
Mounsire
Degwyes
,
as
he
was
in
a
place
called
Milfeelde
,
vewyng
of
the
grounde
,
and
had
taken
hym
had
not
he
lefte
his
cloke
behinde
hym
,
on
the
whiche
white
cloke
,
one
of
our
gentlemen
had
holde
of
:
And
though
that
he
was
succoured
,
we
brought
awaie
some
of
his
companie
,
and
retired
with
little
losse
,
or
none
at
all
.
We
sette
vpon
a
greate
troupe
of
horsemen
,
not
long
before
this
,
that
came
from
the
spoile
of
Callice
,
and
tooke
nombers
of
them
.
For
I
had
for
my
parte
,
a
couple
of
faire
horses
and
a
prisoner
:
at
bothe
these
seruices
was
olde
Capitaine
Andrea
,
Capitaine
Ihon
Sauage
,
and
a
sufficiente
nomber
of
lustie
Soldiours
.
And
the
Lorde
Graie
that
now
is
,
was
at
the
harde
escape
of
Mounsire
Degwies
.
We
made
diuerse
sallies
,
but
that
preuailed
not
,
for
the
Battrie
went
of
,
and
many
other
greate
Cannons
did
beate
at
the
hye
Towres
,
the
stones
whereof
did
marueilously
anoye
vs
:
and
the
shotte
was
so
greate
,
and
suche
greate
aduauntage
of
grounde
the
enemies
had
gotten
,
that
we
could
not
walke
,
nor
goe
saffely
no
any
waie
within
the
Castell
.
For
our
generall
and
sir
Harry
Palmer
sittyng
on
a
forme
,
deuisyng
for
our
commoditie
,
were
in
suche
daunger
,
that
a
Cannon
shotte
tooke
awaie
the
forme
,
and
brake
sir
Harry
Palmers
legge
(
of
whiche
hurte
he
died
in
Parice
after
)
and
a
greate
shotte
tooke
of
maister
Wakes
hedde
,
as
he
was
slepyng
vnder
a
greate
Tree
.
And
so
sonderie
that
thought
them selues
saffe
,
were
so
dribbed
at
with
Cannot
shot
,
that
thei
neuer
knewe
who
did
hurte
them
.
Well
,
the
tyme
drew
on
after
the
breache
was
made
,
we
must
defende
the
assault
,
that
was
geuen
to
Mary
Bulwarke
,
whiche
stoode
out
of
the
Castell
,
and
farre
from
succour
of
any
,
because
the
gate
was
rammed
vp
,
and
we
could
not
passe
into
the
Castle
but
by
that
waie
.
Firste
a
long
the
Braies
,
and
then
betweene
twoo
gates
,
whiche
waie
the
enemie
had
espied
,
and
placed
many
greate
shotte
full
vpon
that
passage
.
Nowe
Mounsire
Diffkie
,
Capitaine
Borne
,
Capitaine
Oswolde
Lambertt
,
and
the
fiftie
Spanyardes
,
were
forced
to
abide
the
assalte
,
whiche
begaime
at
a
leuen
a
Clocke
,
and
lasted
till
night
.
Mount
Dragon
came
into
Mary
Bulwarke
,
and
three
gentlemen
more
,
and
stoode
stoutly
to
our
defence
,
twoo
of
them
were
slaine
.
My
Capitaines
hedde
was
smitten
of
with
a
Cannons
shot
,
and
Capitaine
Diffkie
was
wounded
to
the
death
,
whose
bande
fought
manfully
in
the
reuenge
of
their
Capaine
,
and
vnto
our
bande
was
left
no
more
but
one
maister
Holford
,
and
I
to
gide
the
whole
companie
.
And
the
old
Capitaine
Andrea
,
couetous
of
Fame
,
was
desirous
to
haue
our
fellowship
:
but
he
had
no
bande
nor
people
to
dooe
vs
pleasure
.
Capitaine
Lambert
was
crossed
with
a
greate
shot
,
and
myne
armour
with
the
breakyng
of
a
greate
peece
,
was
stricken
flat
vpon
my
bodie
,
but
beyng
vnbraced
I
might
continue
the
seruice
:
whiche
seruice
in
myne
opinion
,
was
so
terriblie
handled
by
the
Frenche
,
(
Mounsire
Dandelot
beyng
the
leader
of
the
assault
)
that
bothe
Englishe
,
Burgonion
,
and
Spanyard
at
that
Bulwarke
had
enough
to
doe
to
keepe
the
enemie
out
.
And
as
I
beleeue
at
this
assaulte
,
wee
loste
a
hundreth
and
fiftie
good
soldiours
:
but
the
night
commyng
on
,
the
French
surseased
their
furie
,
and
yet
kepte
them selues
closely
vnder
the
toppe
of
the
breache
,
where
our
shotte
nor
flankers
could
doe
them
no
harme
.
For
all
our
greate
Ordinaunce
was
dismounted
long
before
the
enemie
made
any
approche
,
for
the
giuyng
of
an
assault
.
The
nexte
daie
within
three
halfe
howers
,
the
Batterie
had
beaten
the
breache
so
bare
(
whiche
molded
awaie
like
a
hillocke
of
Sande
)
that
wee
were
forced
to
feight
on
our
knees
,
and
beeyng
kepte
wakyng
all
the
night
before
,
with
false
Allarummes
,
our
men
began
to
fainte
,
and
waxe
wearie
of
workyng
at
the
breach
.
But
we
defended
Mary
Bulwarke
so
well
,
all
that
daungerous
daie
,
that
the
Frenche
loste
a
thousande
Soldiours
by
their
owne
confession
,
at
the
same
seruice
:
and
yet
the
assaulte
endured
to
the
very
darcke
night
,
with
as
muche
crueltie
as
could
bee
deuised
.
And
alwaies
when
the
enemies
first
men
,
did
waxe
feeble
with
labour
,
there
was
a
seconde
and
newe
releef
of
freshe
bandes
,
to
continue
the
assault
.
So
that
as
long
as
the
daie
light
serued
,
it
seemed
by
the
fight
a
bloodie
broile
hath
no
ende
,
nor
season
to
take
breathe
in
,
whiche
certainly
would
haue
daunted
any
harte
liuyng
.
The
nexte
night
was
so
plied
with
polliticke
practises
,
that
wee
had
skarcely
laysure
to
take
any
reste
,
or
sustentation
:
and
in
deede
with
ouer
watchyng
,
some
of
our
men
fell
a
slepe
in
the
middell
of
their
tale
,
and
tyme
of
greatest
necessitie
,
to
debate
and
argue
of
those
thynges
,
that
pertained
to
life
and
libertie
,
and
to
auoide
vtter
seruitude
and
shame
.
And
now
wee
that
were
without
the
Castell
,
might
heare
a
greate
businesse
and
sturre
,
throughout
the
whole
bodie
and
harte
of
the
peece
.
For
the
nexte
mornyng
(
whiche
was
the
third
daie
,
we
were
assaulted
)
our
generall
looked
for
a
generall
assault
,
and
to
bee
assailed
roundely
,
as
of
trothe
he
was
.
In
the
meane
while
we
might
speake
one
to
an
other
▪
a
farre
of
,
and
our
freendes
aunswered
vs
ouer
the
wall
:
for
nerer
together
we
might
not
come
,
and
for
succour
or
aide
in
Mary
Bulwarke
to
our
soldiours
we
hoped
not
after
.
Euery
man
was
occupied
with
his
owne
businesse
and
charge
,
that
no
one
persone
might
bee
spared
from
his
place
.
Well
,
as
God
would
permit
,
the
poore
Spaniardes
,
and
suche
Burgonions
(
as
was
left
vs
a
liue
in
Mary
bulwark
)
fell
to
make
a
counter
skarffe
to
beate
out
the
enemie
from
the
Braie
,
when
the
Bulwarke
should
be
wonne
,
as
it
was
likely
to
bee
loste
,
the
breache
was
so
bare
,
and
the
entrie
for
the
enemie
was
so
large
.
For
in
a
maner
thei
might
assaulte
our
Bulwarke
rounde
about
on
all
sides
,
and
did
lodge
at
the
verie
edge
of
the
breache
,
to
the
nomber
of
twoo
thousande
of
their
brauest
bandes
,
mindyng
to
assaile
vs
,
as
sone
as
the
daie
began
to
pepe
out
of
the
skies
.
Whiche
thei
performed
when
the
third
daie
approched
,
for
a
generall
assault
was
giuen
to
euery
place
of
the
Castle
whiche
assaulte
endured
till
the
verie
night
came
on
,
and
the
Frenche
in
this
assaulte
wanne
the
base
Courte
,
and
were
readie
to
sette
fire
vnder
the
gate
,
and
blowe
it
vp
with
pouder
.
And
Mounsire
Dandelot
his
owne
persone
,
was
entered
Mary
Bulwarke
,
with
twoo
thousande
soldiours
,
who
slue
the
Spaniardes
in
the
Braie
,
and
forced
as
many
Burgonions
and
Englishe
as
was
lefte
aliue
(
whiche
was
but
fifteene
of
fower
hundred
)
to
leape
doune
into
the
Dikes
,
and
so
to
scamble
for
their
liues
,
and
creepe
into
a
hole
of
a
bricke
wall
:
that
my
Lorde
Grate
had
broken
vp
,
to
receiue
suche
as
eskaped
from
the
assaulte
,
whiche
was
Capitaine
Andrea
,
Capitaine
Lambert
,
and
my self
with
twelue
common
Soldiours
.
But
when
wee
had
entered
the
hole
in
the
wall
,
the
Frenche
followed
at
our
heeles
,
and
we
to
saue
our
liues
tourned
againe
,
bendyng
Pikes
againste
the
passage
,
and
so
shotte
of
one
Hargaboze
,
by
whiche
meanes
the
enemie
followed
no
further
:
And
yet
we
were
in
as
greate
distresse
as
before
.
For
wee
were
betweene
twoo
gates
,
and
at
the
gate
we
should
haue
entered
,
was
twoo
greate
Cannons
readie
charged
to
be
shotte
of
,
to
driue
them
backe
that
would
haue
sette
fire
on
the
gate
.
And
the
crie
and
noise
was
so
greate
,
and
terrible
on
all
sides
,
that
we
could
not
be
harde
speake
.
But
as
God
would
maister
Lewes
Diue
(
a
man
of
warshippe
now
in
Bedforde
Shire
)
hears
my
voice
,
then
I
plied
the
matter
so
sore
for
life
,
so
that
with
muche
a
dooe
,
maister
Diue
receiued
vs
into
the
harte
of
the
Castell
:
and
yet
in
the
openyng
of
the
gate
,
the
Frenche
were
like
to
enter
pelley
melley
with
vs
,
if
a
Cannot
shotte
had
not
made
place
,
whiles
the
gate
was
a
shuttyng
.
But
now
wee
were
no
soner
come
before
my
Lorde
Graie
,
but
all
the
soldiours
cried
,
yeelde
vp
the
Castell
vppon
some
reasonable
composition
.
And
when
the
Soldiours
sawe
,
thei
could
not
haue
the
Castell
yeelded
:
thei
threatened
to
flyng
my
Lorde
Graye
ouer
the
walles
,
and
that
was
determined
,
if
my
Lorde
had
not
preuented
them
with
a
pollicie
.
Wherevpon
the
Capitaines
were
called
together
,
and
there
thei
agreed
,
to
sende
me
to
Mounsire
Degwise
with
an
offer
,
that
if
we
might
all
marche
with
bagge
and
baggage
,
Ensigne
displaied
,
and
sixe
peeces
of
Ordinaunce
,
we
would
yeelde
the
Castell
into
the
handes
of
the
Frenche
.
Now
was
it
night
,
and
I
muste
bee
let
out
at
maister
Harry
Norwitche
his
Bulwarke
:
but
neither
Dromme
nor
Trompet
wentte
with
me
,
because
a
Trompettor
was
slaine
,
as
he
sounded
to
haue
a
parley
,
and
as
I
heard
saie
,
a
Dromme
that
would
haue
followed
me
,
was
shotte
into
the
legge
.
But
there
was
no
remedie
,
but
I
must
wade
ouer
the
water
:
in
whiche
water
laye
certain
galthroppes
,
as
thei
tearme
them
,
whiche
were
greate
bordes
,
full
of
long
spikes
of
Iron
,
on
the
whiche
hauyng
good
bootes
,
and
a
staie
in
my
hande
,
I
was
taught
daintely
to
tread
,
and
the
night
was
so
darcke
,
that
the
enemie
might
not
take
any
good
marke
of
me
,
(
albeit
thei
shotte
diuerse
tymes
)
so
with
some
hazard
,
and
no
greate
hope
to
attaine
that
I
was
sent
for
,
I
was
taken
by
the
watche
,
and
brought
to
Mounsire
Degwises
tent
,
where
duke
D'omale
,
and
many
greate
estates
were
in
presence
,
my
message
beeyng
saied
,
with
decent
reuerence
made
.
The
Duke
tolde
me
that
all
our
Ordinaunce
was
dismounted
,
and
that
therby
our
mallice
was
cutte
of
,
and
we
could
not
doe
his
Campe
any
annoyaunce
:
Wherefore
saied
he
,
this
was
a
stoute
bragge
,
to
seeke
a
capitulation
with
suche
aduauntage
vpon
.
I
replied
to
his
excellencie
,
and
tolde
that
wee
had
flanckers
,
and
other
greate
peeces
,
whiche
would
not
be
discouered
till
the
next
assault
,
declaryng
likewise
our
soldiours
had
sworne
,
rather
to
dye
in
their
defence
,
then
not
to
marche
awaie
like
men
of
warr
.
The
noble
men
on
this
myne
aunswere
badde
me
retourne
,
and
will
the
reste
of
the
Castell
,
to
doe
the
worste
thei
could
:
So
I
departed
,
and
the
Duke
of
Gwise
beholdyng
(
as
he
thought
)
we
were
resolued
to
see
the
vttermoste
of
Fortune
,
called
me
backe
againe
,
and
fell
to
questions
and
argumentes
with
me
,
suche
as
I
liked
not
.
But
other
aunswere
did
I
not
make
,
then
before
you
haue
heard
:
wherewith
he
called
for
some
meate
,
and
made
me
to
sitte
doune
,
and
after
I
had
a
little
refreshed
my self
,
I
demaunded
to
knowe
his
pleasure
:
Who
straight
waies
tolde
me
there
was
no
helpe
to
be
had
,
but
to
become
all
captiues
,
and
prisoners
to
the
French
kyng
:
Not
so
sir
,
I
aunswered
,
and
that
should
the
nexte
assault
make
triall
thereof
.
Then
he
went
to
talke
with
the
noble
men
,
and
there
thei
concluded
,
that
the
soldiours
should
marche
awaie
with
bagge
and
baggage
,
and
the
capitaines
and
officers
should
remaine
prisoners
,
whiche
I
knewe
would
not
bee
liked
,
and
so
desired
to
bee
sente
to
my
Lorde
Graie
.
But
when
I
came
into
the
Castell
,
and
the
soldiours
had
gotten
woorde
,
that
thei
might
marche
awaie
at
their
will
:
Thei
came
to
me
,
and
threatened
me
with
greate
wordes
,
commaundyng
to
make
dispatche
,
and
yeelde
vp
the
Forte
.
For
saied
thei
,
since
the
matter
is
in
talke
,
and
likelie
to
be
brought
to
a
good
purpose
,
thei
would
cutte
my
throte
,
if
I
made
not
hastely
an
ende
of
the
cace
.
And
thereon
had
thei
made
a
greate
hole
in
a
walle
,
and
so
thei
thruste
me
out
emong
the
Almaines
,
who
rudely
handeled
me
.
But
my
Lorde
Graie
at
my
departure
,
badde
me
tell
the
Duke
,
that
the
Almaines
were
aboute
to
breake
into
the
Castell
,
and
to
sette
the
gate
a
fire
:
and
my
Lorde
saied
,
he
would
shoote
of
his
greate
Ordinaunce
emong
theim
,
if
the
lawe
of
Armes
wer
not
better
obserued
.
But
in
the
meane
tyme
at
an
other
place
was
entered
Mounsire
de
Tre
,
maister
of
the
Ordinaunce
,
and
the
Lorde
Graie
that
now
is
,
was
sent
into
the
Campe
,
for
the
paune
of
Mounsire
De
Tre.
But
I
was
come
to
Mounsire
Degwise
,
before
those
thynges
were
finished
,
and
had
tolde
hym
my
message
:
And
he
like
a
noble
Prince
,
and
faithfull
Capitaine
roade
to
the
gate
(
causyng
me
to
mounte
behynde
maister
Harry
Dudley
)
where
the
Almaines
were
busily
occupied
aboute
some
naughtie
practise
:
and
with
a
greate
trontchon
he
strake
diuers
of
the
Almaines
and
others
,
to
make
them
retire
,
and
laiyng
loade
about
hym
,
he
made
suche
waie
that
the
gate
was
free
.
And
the
capitulation
was
at
laysure
talked
of
,
but
I
was
not
suffred
to
enter
no
more
into
the
Castell
:
and
so
staied
as
a
prisoner
,
notwithstandyng
,
looke
what
promesse
Mounsire
Degwise
made
,
it
was
so
well
kepte
and
obserued
,
that
our
soldiours
marched
awaie
with
all
their
wealthe
,
money
,
or
weapons
:
And
greate
wealth
was
by
them
borne
from
Gines
,
in
so
muche
that
diuers
poore
Soldiours
,
were
made
thereby
all
their
life
daies
after
.
And
this
was
to
bee
noted
,
there
was
greate
honour
in
the
Duke
of
Gwise
,
for
the
bandes
that
parted
either
sicke
or
sounde
,
hurte
or
whole
,
were
honestly
conueighed
,
and
truely
dealte
withall
,
euen
as
long
as
thei
were
in
any
daunger
(
albeit
thei
had
greate
sommes
of
money
and
Threasure
with
theim
)
and
the
Generall
,
his
Capitaines
and
Officers
were
courteouslie
vsed
,
so
long
as
we
were
in
the
Duke
of
Gwise
his
Campe
.
And
to
saie
the
truth
,
I
thinke
our
peace
was
not
so
dishonourable
,
as
some
reporte
:
For
succour
had
wee
no
hope
of
:
The
nexte
assaulte
had
ouerthrowen
vs
:
The
whole
members
of
the
Castell
were
cutte
of
from
vs
.
There
remained
but
the
bare
bodie
of
the
Castell
in
our
custodie
.
The
enemies
Cannons
did
beate
vs
from
the
breache
on
the
in
side
:
The
Castell
was
subiect
to
euery
shotte
,
bothe
from
the
Keepe
,
the
Catte
,
and
Mary
Bulwarke
.
The
Frenche
possessed
all
the
speciall
places
of
our
strength
and
comforte
.
The
beste
and
cheefest
of
our
soldiours
were
slaine
,
or
laye
maimed
in
moste
miserable
estate
.
And
we
had
loste
eight
hundreth
men
,
in
these
assaultes
and
seruices
,
whiche
did
their
duetie
so
well
,
that
the
enemie
confessed
,
that
thei
had
loste
fower
thousande
,
before
wee
could
bee
brought
to
any
parley
and
composition
.
But
some
of
our
Officers
by
crafte
and
cunnyng
,
escaped
home
out
of
the
Frenche
mennes
handes
:
came
to
the
Court
,
and
made
vp
their
bandes
againe
,
to
the
greate
reproche
of
those
that
ment
no
suche
matter
:
and
so
by
that
subteltie
and
shift
,
thei
that
escaped
gatte
a
paye
,
or
some
reward
of
the
prince
.
And
those
that
abode
out
the
bronte
,
and
hazarde
of
the
bloodie
broile
,
were
lefte
in
prison
:
and
the
worlde
thought
by
seyng
so
many
come
home
,
we
had
loste
but
a
fewe
at
the
siege
of
Gynes
.
Whiche
is
otherwise
to
be
proued
,
and
affirmed
for
a
trothe
,
when
true
triall
shal
be
made
.
Callice
was
loste
before
,
I
can
not
declare
how
,
but
well
I
wotte
Sir
Anthonie
Ager
a
stoute
gentleman
,
and
a
valliaunte
knight
there
loste
his
life
,
and
one
Capitaine
Saule
was
terrible
burnte
with
pouder
,
in
makyng
a
traine
to
destroye
the
enemie
.
Now
leauyng
of
these
vncomfortable
discourses
,
I
will
shewe
what
gentlemen
of
ours
after
,
serued
in
sondrie
soiles
where
many
greate
Princes
were
in
daiely
exercises
of
warre
,
and
many
greate
victories
and
exploites
were
to
be
seen
,
and
though
I
write
not
the
iourneis
in
right
order
,
as
one
that
writes
a
Chronicle
maie
dooe
,
yet
the
matter
I
write
of
shal
be
so
true
,
that
it
shal
be
needlesse
to
shewe
what
season
,
the
causes
were
put
in
practise
,
or
make
mention
in
due
order
of
the
date
and
tyme
,
of
suche
noble
enterprises
,
for
your
common
Chronicles
can
sufficiently
satiffie
you
in
those
poinctes
.
The
seruices
on
the
Sea
I
doe
sette
aparte
by
them
selues
,
and
so
here
I
proceede
in
some
matter
,
whiche
toucheth
a
peece
of
the
businesse
of
Flaunders
and
Fraunce
,
where
diuers
of
our
gentlemen
wer
,
and
beheld
many
great
exploites
.
Now
is
to
be
noted
,
that
M.
Henry
Champernowne
of
Deuonshire
,
after
his
returne
from
the
warres
of
Hungarie
serued
in
the
cause
of
the
Protestantes
of
Fraunce
,
of
his
own
proper
charges
in
the
second
Ciuile
warres
,
with
xij
.
gentlemen
or
more
.
And
in
the
thirde
Ciuile
warres
after
the
battaile
of
Iarnag
,
he
serued
with
an
hundred
men
of
his
owne
proper
costes
.
Likewise
accompanied
and
followed
these
gentlemenne
,
Edward
Barkley
,
Phillip
Budsed
,
Gawine
Champernowne
,
Richard
Kirkam
,
Walter
Rawley
,
Carro
Rawley
,
Ranoldes
,
Hugh
Vdall
,
Thomas
Courtney
,
Willyam
Fonte
,
Richard
Keyes
,
Willyam
Walwyng
,
Thomas
Atkins
and
others
,
whereof
some
retourned
after
the
death
of
the
olde
Prince
of
Conde
.
But
maister
Henry
Champernowne
,
as
one
desirous
of
renowme
,
and
greedie
of
glorie
gotten
by
seruice
,
remained
till
his
death
,
where
liuely
fame
was
to
be
wonne
:
and
serued
so
nobly
and
so
gallantly
,
as
the
whole
Campe
where
he
was
in
,
sounded
of
his
valliantnesse
,
and
many
of
those
gentlemen
that
he
brought
with
hym
,
augmented
so
muche
his
fame
,
that
to
this
daie
his
deedes
and
theirs
,
are
moste
noblie
spoken
of
,
greatly
to
the
honour
of
all
our
Englishe
Nation
.
For
his
gentlemen
(
or
the
moste
parte
of
them
)
loste
their
liues
with
their
Capitaine
,
muche
is
to
be
saied
in
this
matter
.
But
I
must
returne
to
giue
others
their
due
praise
:
that
serued
in
Fraunce
and
Flaunders
,
in
these
perillous
tymes
,
and
daies
of
no
little
daunger
.
Emong
the
reste
I
finde
,
that
Sir
Willyam
Morgane
was
one
:
For
he
came
on
his
owne
voluntary
will
and
charges
,
with
the
yong
Brickamone
(
and
a
fewe
other
Frenche
gentlemen
)
to
a
toune
called
Vallencia
,
and
at
their
enterie
,
whiche
was
on
a
Sondaie
mornyng
,
the
Spaniardes
that
helde
the
Castell
issued
,
and
thought
to
expulse
bothe
French
and
Burgonions
out
of
the
Toune
.
And
in
deede
the
common
soldiours
hauyng
small
harte
to
maintaine
their
quarrell
,
beganne
to
shrinke
.
But
the
Frenche
gentlemen
,
and
sir
Willyam
Morgan
gaue
a
charge
on
the
Spaniardes
(
after
a
long
skirmishe
and
muche
adooe
)
and
draue
them
into
the
Castell
,
and
followed
the
Spanyardes
so
faste
,
that
thei
sett
a
fire
the
drawe
bridge
,
because
by
that
meanes
thei
thought
that
the
Spaniardes
should
make
no
more
sallies
,
to
assaile
the
Toune
.
Vpon
this
seruice
sir
Willyam
Morgan
(
by
the
gouernour
of
Vallencia
)
had
a
goodly
gentilmannes
house
giuen
hym
,
stuffed
with
gooddes
,
and
furnished
with
Wines
and
victuall
for
a
long
yere
,
that
might
haue
serued
his
people
and
hym
:
if
his
happe
had
been
there
to
haue
remained
.
But
the
Graue
Lodwicke
sent
for
Sir
Willyam
,
to
come
vnto
Mowns
in
Henault
,
and
after
he
had
been
there
but
a
weeke
he
had
the
Threasurers
house
,
and
all
his
substaunce
deliuered
hym
.
The
Duke
of
Alua
besieged
this
Toune
,
where
many
greate
skirmishes
and
seruices
,
were
offered
on
bothe
the
sides
,
albeit
the
Dukes
power
did
farre
excede
the
Count
de
Lodwickes
,
yet
euery
daie
the
soldiours
of
the
Toune
did
the
vttermoste
thei
could
,
to
disquiete
the
Dukes
Campe
.
And
vndoubtedly
the
valliauncie
and
courage
,
of
theim
that
were
besieged
,
was
so
greate
and
so
noble
,
that
their
verie
enemies
commended
theim
for
the
same
.
For
it
was
no
ordinarie
maner
of
seruice
thei
did
shewe
,
but
rather
a
newe
deuised
excersice
of
warre
,
to
make
the
assailantes
as
muche
astonished
at
their
enemies
stoutenesse
,
as
take
any
hope
to
winne
the
Toune
by
any
aduauntage
might
bee
espied
.
And
in
this
maner
of
seruice
the
tyme
was
spent
along
season
,
to
the
euerlastyng
praise
and
fame
of
those
,
that
stode
in
the
Tounes
defence
.
Sir
Willyam
Morgan
was
not
idell
,
in
no
one
peece
of
all
these
bickerynges
,
and
at
the
length
behelde
the
commyng
of
the
Prince
of
Orranges
power
of
horsemen
;
whose
power
encountryng
with
the
Duke
of
Aluaes
force
,
in
a
mornyng
betymes
continued
in
skirmishe
,
till
three
a
clocke
in
the
after
noone
:
and
so
with
the
losse
and
slaughter
of
eight
or
nine
hundred
men
,
the
twoo
forces
did
depart
and
seuered
.
The
Prince
of
Orrange
thus
marchyng
awaie
,
had
giuen
occasion
to
the
Duke
to
followe
,
or
goe
about
some
pollicie
:
and
after
at
a
place
called
Sainct
Gillyng
,
the
Dukes
force
gaue
a
greate
ouerthrowe
,
to
the
Prince
of
Orrenges
side
.
Whiche
conflicte
did
argue
,
there
was
no
hope
of
succours
,
to
be
looked
for
from
the
Prince
,
at
that
present
necessitie
:
and
Mowns
standyng
in
this
extreme
daunger
,
and
beyng
not
well
furnished
with
thynges
,
that
pertained
to
a
long
siege
,
(
besides
their
Generall
Count
de
Lodwick
was
sicke
)
the
Soldiours
and
Tounes
men
beganne
to
giue
eare
to
a
parley
,
and
so
a
peace
was
concluded
,
on
a
straite
composition
:
whiche
was
that
all
the
Soldiours
in
the
Toune
(
sauyng
a
fewe
Almaines
with
the
Count
de
Lodwick
,
and
himself
)
should
sweare
neuer
after
to
beare
armour
against
the
kyng
of
Spaine
,
or
of
Fraunce
.
Sir
Willyam
Morgan
hearyng
of
that
othe
,
required
rather
death
,
then
to
make
a
promesse
paste
the
compasse
of
his
alleagance
,
and
duetie
to
his
owne
Countrey
:
and
saied
,
that
he
would
neuer
condescende
to
suche
a
straight
composition
,
though
life
and
all
he
had
,
laye
vppon
the
refuse
thereof
.
Wherevpon
a
newe
parley
and
communication
was
had
,
and
there
the
Duke
graunted
sir
Willyam
Morgan
,
and
those
Englishemen
he
had
with
hym
,
to
marche
awaie
in
the
same
order
and
libertie
of
mynde
,
that
the
Count
de
Locwick
and
his
Almaines
had
obtained
.
The
Toune
beyng
randered
into
the
handes
of
the
duke
of
Aluae
,
there
were
that
perswaded
sir
Willyam
,
to
leaue
the
companie
of
the
Count
de
Lodwick
,
because
it
was
presupposed
that
he
should
bee
slaine
,
or
scape
hardely
from
the
Duke
.
But
sir
Willyam
beholdyng
the
honourable
dealinges
of
the
Counte
(
and
espectyng
the
regard
that
the
Duke
ought
to
haue
to
the
lawe
of
Armes
,
and
performaunce
of
a
Princes
promesse
)
determined
to
putte
all
to
the
hazarde
of
Fortune
,
and
to
followe
the
Count
de
Lodwicke
,
who
marched
saffely
toward
the
Prince
.
Suthe
was
the
faithfulnesse
and
vsage
of
the
Duke
at
that
season
:
that
the
Counte
tame
to
his
brother
the
Prince
,
at
his
will
and
pleasure
,
who
laye
with
an
armie
at
Riermont
.
The
Frenchemen
had
forsaken
the
companie
of
the
Counte
before
,
and
had
procured
that
a
passeport
,
should
be
giuen
to
sir
Willyam
Morgan
,
to
passe
through
Flaunders
by
Iulian
Romeroes
freendshipp
,
a
gallaunt
auncient
man
of
warre
.
But
Sir
Willyam
refusyng
that
courtesie
,
came
with
the
Count
to
Riermounte
,
where
the
Prince
embraced
hym
.
And
after
the
Princes
Campe
was
dispersed
,
he
had
sir
Willyam
to
his
brother
in
Lawe
,
called
the
Count
de
Bergges
,
and
so
to
West
Frese
lande
,
Holland
,
and
many
other
partes
that
the
Prince
had
then
in
possession
.
And
in
sondrie
of
these
soiles
sauyng
in
Hollande
,
sir
Willyam
Morgan
serued
with
tenne
great
horses
at
his
owne
charges
.
For
that
he
was
the
Quenes
Maiesties
seruaunt
,
and
would
not
be
bounde
for
wages
,
neither
to
passe
the
boundes
of
his
duetie
,
nor
to
tarrie
a
longer
terme
in
a
forraine
countrey
,
then
good
cause
might
commaunde
hym
.
So
thus
muche
haue
I
thought
good
to
write
of
,
in
the
behalfe
of
those
that
willyngly
,
haue
offered
them selues
to
seruices
,
worthie
commendation
.
Sir
Humfrey
Gilbart
in
this
season
(
with
a
good
nomber
of
soldiours
,
and
Englishe
gentlemen
)
was
at
Floshyng
and
serued
well
in
those
partes
:
and
one
Capitaine
Morgan
and
maister
Cotton
a
Pensioner
,
did
their
duetie
so
throughly
,
that
muche
was
spoken
of
their
praise
:
at
whiche
seruice
one
Capitaine
Bowsar
,
and
a
valliaunte
gentleman
called
maister
Mackwillyam
were
slaine
,
with
sondrie
others
of
our
nation
,
that
did
no
whit
forgette
the
former
fame
of
our
auncient
predecessours
and
countreymen
.
And
those
that
liued
and
serued
there
at
that
tyme
,
were
well
paied
:
For
the
Floshyngars
had
drawen
many
a
good
hande
of
the
Spanishe
Fleete
,
and
were
become
wealthie
with
the
spoiles
,
thei
had
by
hazard
gotten
.
I
haue
made
mention
of
the
goyng
of
the
Erle
of
Essex
into
Irelande
,
that
fell
out
anone
after
this
season
,
with
whom
was
sir
Willyam
Morgan
,
maister
Henry
Bronkar
,
Capitaine
Barkley
,
and
sonderie
other
gentlemen
,
that
endured
to
the
ende
of
all
the
seruices
,
to
their
greate
charges
,
hazard
and
paines
.
And
for
that
I
doe
but
breefly
touche
those
thynges
,
and
haue
spoken
on
them
heretofore
,
I
commende
the
lengthe
and
discourses
of
those
matters
to
youre
iudgementes
,
that
haue
laisure
to
looke
and
read
,
what
other
men
haue
written
of
those
causes
.
Now
I
make
a
little
recitall
of
a
seruice
,
beeyng
dooen
betweene
sainct
Dennis
and
Parris
,
where
the
Conestable
of
Fraunce
was
slaine
,
in
whose
companie
was
maister
Edward
Barkley
,
attendyng
on
Mounsire
Brizak
.
This
battaill
was
attempted
and
fought
,
by
the
power
of
the
king
againste
the
Prince
of
Conde
:
whose
force
laye
scattered
a
broade
in
the
countrey
aboute
Parris
,
and
yet
the
nomber
of
xviij
.
hundred
horsemen
,
and
three
thousande
footemen
wer
lefte
at
saincte
Dennis
.
Whiche
hearyng
of
the
kynges
power
,
marched
towardes
them
,
issued
out
of
the
Toune
,
and
beganne
the
skirmishe
moste
daungerously
,
and
with
suche
courage
,
as
seldome
hath
been
seen
,
or
redde
of
:
consideryng
their
power
was
so
small
,
and
the
Parrisians
were
suche
a
multitude
,
and
to
tell
the
trothe
,
it
seemed
that
the
Prince
of
Condes
force
was
but
a
handfull
,
in
comparison
of
the
contrary
side
.
And
it
seemed
a
greate
madnesse
,
or
mockerie
,
for
the
small
nomber
to
encounter
with
the
greate
and
huge
companie
.
But
necessitie
that
either
redoubleth
the
strength
of
menne
,
or
dauntes
the
hartes
of
cowardes
:
had
so
plucked
vp
the
hartes
of
this
little
nomber
:
that
thei
imagined
thei
rather
sought
againste
children
,
then
champions
.
And
as
it
proued
this
little
troupe
presupposed
,
that
in
a
multitude
is
many
opions
,
and
many
that
would
rather
bee
at
home
in
suretie
,
then
abroad
in
daunger
:
whiche
opinion
and
desire
of
of
the
weaker
sorte
,
breedes
oftentymes
a
confusion
,
and
vtter
mischeef
emong
a
greate
multitude
.
Well
,
albeit
the
hazard
was
marueilous
,
and
the
enterprise
paste
all
the
exspectation
of
man
:
yet
the
Prince
of
Condeis
power
did
sette
a
good
face
on
the
matter
,
and
plied
the
kynges
force
with
shotte
,
and
polliticke
deuises
of
warre
.
Yea
,
in
suche
sorte
,
and
with
suche
manhoode
at
euery
encounter
,
some
paied
the
beste
blood
in
their
bodies
,
and
some
were
forced
to
giue
a
lustie
charge
,
to
staye
and
amuse
the
whole
battaill
.
And
charge
vpon
charge
,
was
giuen
on
bothe
sides
moste
noblie
,
with
moste
assured
hope
of
victorie
:
And
the
fight
beeyng
begonne
nere
Saincte
Dennies
,
endured
from
the
winde-milles
,
almoste
to
the
suburbes
of
Parris
.
But
alwaies
as
the
multitude
did
ouerlaye
the
little
bande
,
the
small
companies
courage
did
encrease
,
and
their
myndes
were
become
so
greate
,
that
thei
thought
the
feelde
to
small
,
and
the
daie
to
short
to
shewe
the
valliauncie
of
their
hartes
.
And
in
this
their
manly
disposition
,
thei
gatte
grounde
at
euery
charge
thei
gaue
:
And
in
fine
beeyng
furiously
bente
,
compelled
by
greate
Fortune
and
daungerous
seruice
,
the
kynges
side
to
swaie
a
little
about
,
and
takyng
the
aduauntage
offered
,
thei
charged
a
bande
of
horsemen
,
where
thei
thought
the
Conestable
of
Fraunce
stoode
in
troupe
,
and
hitte
so
full
vpon
the
marke
thei
shotte
at
,
that
the
noble
Mounsire
Memorancie
was
slaine
at
the
firste
stroke
,
by
the
handes
of
one
called
capitaine
Steward
a
Scottishe
gentleman
.
Thus
the
Conestables
death
,
and
others
of
good
credite
beeyng
knowne
,
and
published
emong
the
Parrisiens
that
came
with
hym
to
the
feelde
.
Thei
fled
as
faste
as
thei
could
,
and
so
the
whole
armie
was
discouraged
,
and
as
thei
might
euery
man
made
shift
for
hym self
.
But
yet
some
order
was
kept
emong
them
or
els
a
great
slaughter
had
been
made
:
and
yet
in
trothe
the
Prince
of
Condeis
side
were
waxt
so
a
wearie
,
that
thei
but
looked
for
a
tyme
to
take
breathe
in
,
and
refreshe
their
ouerlaboured
horses
.
Here
maie
the
worlde
beholde
,
what
good
Fortune
the
forward
myndes
of
men
maie
attaine
vnto
,
and
what
victorie
and
conquest
is
compassed
,
by
a
constaunt
determination
,
and
a
resolute
seruice
:
Whiche
who
that
lookes
into
and
regardes
throughly
,
shall
euer
haue
a
prosperous
successe
.
For
in
all
battailes
and
seruices
(
where
good
Capitaines
are
the
leaders
)
the
valliauncie
of
menne
commonly
goes
awaie
with
the
garlande
:
and
all
worldly
glorie
and
triumphes
attendes
,
and
waites
on
the
worthinesse
of
mennes
courages
,
as
a
thyng
incident
to
those
that
dare
aduenture
by
vallue
,
to
striue
for
good
fame
.
The
Kyng
notwithstandyng
this
ouerthrowe
,
(
whiche
might
not
a
little
moue
his
Maiestie
,
raised
a
greate
Armie
after
this
,
(
when
Sharters
was
besieged
by
the
prince
of
Conde
)
and
marched
thetherwardes
with
a
princely
power
:
where
was
greate
seruice
,
and
many
a
man
slaine
before
the
siege
was
raised
.
But
for
that
,
but
a
fewe
of
any
greate
name
loste
their
liues
there
:
I
write
little
of
the
particulars
,
and
yet
if
I
liste
to
delate
,
there
is
matter
enough
lefte
,
to
enlarge
my
volume
of
the
same
seruice
.
Maister
Edward
Barkly
was
on
the
kynges
side
in
like
sort
at
this
seruice
:
and
at
the
reste
of
the
Frenche
warres
,
that
followes
on
the
Prince
of
Condies
side
.
Capitaine
Barkley
went
after
with
the
Prince
of
Conde
,
and
was
at
the
siege
of
sainct
Ihon
Dangill
:
At
the
siege
of
Poictiers
:
At
the
siege
of
Angulem
:
At
the
skirmishe
of
Lodwyne
:
At
the
skirmishe
of
Lasmirie
:
At
the
skirmishe
of
Pompero
,
in
whiche
skirmishes
,
many
greate
conflictes
were
giuen
,
and
many
thousandes
were
slaine
.
And
a
nomber
of
greate
aduentures
were
to
bee
seen
:
the
Chronicle
of
Fraunce
settes
theim
foorthe
at
the
full
.
For
whiche
cause
I
leaue
out
muche
of
the
matter
.
And
after
Capitaine
Barkley
had
been
at
all
these
seruices
afore
named
,
he
was
with
the
Prince
at
the
battaill
of
Iernake
,
where
there
was
a
greate
fight
,
and
a
hotte
encounter
,
long
in
ballaunce
,
hangyng
betweene
hope
and
doubte
:
But
to
conclude
,
as
the
Frenche
writers
,
and
trothe
dooeth
testifie
.
The
Kyng
had
the
vpper
hande
,
and
the
Prince
of
Conde
was
slaine
,
and
his
whole
force
driuen
backe
:
In
whiche
fight
and
blouddie
battaill
thousandes
were
discomfited
on
bothe
the
sides
.
But
the
grace
of
good
Fortune
,
and
the
glorie
of
that
daie
wente
awaie
with
the
Kyng
,
that
longe
had
sought
victorie
,
and
founde
but
harde
chaunce
till
that
present
howre
.
Some
doe
excuse
the
Princes
misfortune
,
with
an
ouersight
of
those
that
were
aboute
hym
.
But
in
Gods
blessed
bosome
,
the
bowels
of
those
broiles
and
businesse
,
is
shrined
,
and
lyes
faste
locked
from
the
lookes
and
iudgement
of
man
.
Now
I
mynde
to
touche
somewhat
,
the
seruices
that
were
by
Sea
,
since
we
that
are
a
liue
,
can
remember
the
reporte
of
the
same
:
and
yet
I
maie
not
expresse
at
large
any
greate
thyng
thereof
,
because
I
would
not
be
tedious
to
the
reader
:
nor
would
not
write
more
,
then
is
,
or
maie
bee
well
liked
▪
For
that
I
searche
no
bookes
,
nor
robbe
no
one
Aucthour
of
his
studie
and
laboure
:
I
runne
but
to
my
owne
vewe
and
reache
of
reason
,
or
followe
the
true
report
of
those
that
I
knewe
,
will
not
fable
with
the
worlde
,
in
matter
of
trothe
and
credite
.
In
the
raigne
of
that
moste
redoubted
,
and
perelesse
Prince
Kyng
Henry
the
eight
(
whose
famous
actes
can
not
bee
to
muche
spoken
of
)
.
There
was
a
noble
and
terrible
fight
on
the
Sea
,
betweene
the
Frenche
Galleis
(
whiche
were
nineteene
in
nomber
,
and
twoo
Foistes
)
and
our
shippes
,
whiche
were
not
many
.
The
Kyng
hauyng
sente
to
Laundersey
sir
Ihon
Walloppe
,
and
a
sufficient
power
to
annoye
that
Toune
,
and
for
other
greate
causes
then
mouyng
his
Maiestie
:
prepared
anone
after
a
small
Nauie
,
to
moleste
his
enemies
,
makyng
Admirall
of
that
fleete
,
the
noble
Lorde
Lyle
,
after
Duke
of
Northumberlande
,
and
with
hym
was
sent
the
Lorde
Clinton
,
now
Erle
of
Lincolne
,
sir
George
Caro
,
sir
Peter
Caro
,
sir
Gawine
Caro
,
sir
Robert
Stafforde
,
maister
Clement
Parstons
,
maister
Willyam
Winter
now

,
maister
Biston
a
valliant
Capitaine
,
with
whom
was
maister
Biston
the
Pensioner
that
now
is
a
liue
.
And
all
these
gentlemen
vnder
the
leadyng
of
the
Lorde
Lyle
:
encountred
the
Galleis
in
moste
braueste
,
and
warrlike
sorte
vppon
the
Seas
,
and
fought
with
them
halfe
a
daie
,
daungerously
and
in
greate
perill
,
our
Shippes
hauyng
a
greate
disaduauntage
,
because
the
porte
holes
were
not
so
lowe
,
as
reason
required
:
by
whiche
meane
our
Shippes
might
not
come
,
to
dooe
the
harme
that
was
intended
.
Notwithstandyng
the
greate
Ordinaunce
plaied
on
the
enemie
all
the
while
,
and
our
gentlemen
behaued
them selues
as
noblie
,
as
might
bee
deuised
:
not
in
no
little
hazard
,
nor
without
greate
courage
.
For
this
fight
was
so
sore
and
daungerous
,
that
euery
mannes
vallue
and
stoutnesse
might
be
seen
.
There
was
no
hole
nor
caue
for
the
cowarde
,
to
hide
his
hedde
in
:
For
the
Cannon
could
fetche
theim
vp
,
that
would
creepe
in
the
Cooke
roume
,
and
sette
them
a
woorke
,
that
would
sitte
doune
and
doe
little
good
.
The
barres
and
chaines
of
Iron
flewe
about
so
thicke
,
and
the
smoke
and
smother
of
the
pouder
was
so
greate
,
that
one
might
scarce
see
an
other
for
fume
,
flame
,
and
the
furie
of
the
shotte
.
And
to
bee
plaine
,
because
I
haue
seen
the
like
,
I
take
it
to
bee
the
moste
terrible
,
and
cruell
fight
that
can
bee
named
,
or
expressed
with
penne
.
For
it
is
rather
(
if
it
bee
rightly
painted
out
)
a
helle
,
then
any
other
thyng
it
can
bee
compared
vnto
.
But
how
so
euer
it
is
,
or
was
,
at
that
present
tyme
our
fleete
abode
the
brunte
thereof
,
and
tried
it
out
to
the
vttermoste
,
as
the
Frenche
theim selues
,
did
afterward
reporte
and
affirme
.
And
so
bothe
the
sides
beeyng
wearied
with
roaryng
of
Cannons
,
and
murtheryng
of
menne
,
were
driuen
at
the
length
to
leaue
of
,
and
saile
seuerall
waies
:
but
the
Frenche
had
the
worste
,
and
were
glad
to
departe
,
to
their
losse
and
mischeef
,
But
in
the
necke
of
this
,
the
Frenche
Nauie
came
gallauntly
to
Portchmouthe
,
and
in
the
vewe
of
Kyng
Henry
,
thei
made
a
stoute
showe
,
and
signe
of
some
shrewde
intent
.
Againste
the
whiche
Nauie
went
out
sir
George
Caro
,
in
a
noble
vessell
,
and
with
a
greate
nomber
of
valliaunt
gentlemenne
:
but
by
mischaunce
,
and
ouersight
of
some
reachlesse
persones
,
the
Shippe
and
all
was
caste
awaie
and
drouned
,
full
before
the
vewe
and
face
of
Kyng
Henry
the
eight
.
And
yet
our
other
Shippes
made
out
,
and
sette
so
lustely
vppon
the
Frenche
fleete
,
that
thei
made
them
retourne
homeward
to
their
small
contentation
:
so
that
little
or
nothyng
was
doen
worthie
the
notyng
,
a
good
tyme
after
.
An other
seruice
there
was
,
where
maister
Clementte
Parston
,
and
Capitaine
Wolffe
was
,
in
Kyng
Edwardes
daies
,
where
thei
had
a
Galley
in
chace
,
and
ouercame
the
same
Galley
:
For
maister
Parston
brought
it
awaie
,
and
had
in
signe
of
that
victorie
a
Iewell
thereof
,
made
in
maner
like
a
Snake
of
golde
.
In
Queene
Maries
raigne
,
the
Lorde
Admirall
that
now
is
,
with
sir
Willyam
Woodhouse
,
sir
Thomas
Cotton
,
sir
Willyam
Winter
,
maister
Gonstone
,
maister
Holstocke
,
maister
Morley
,
Sir
Richard
Brooke
,
Capitaine
Poole
a
knight
of
the
Rodes
,
as
sir
Richard
Brooke
was
,
sir
Richard
Winkfeeld
,
sir
Robert
Conestable
that
now
is
,
Maister
Willyam
Gorge
,
and
Maister
George
Biston
,
bothe
Pentioners
,
went
to
the
burnyng
of
Conkquette
,
and
did
there
a
greate
exploite
,
and
made
muche
spoile
and
hauocke
in
that
countrey
,
and
retiryng
to
our
Shippes
,
tooke
good
order
for
the
saffetie
of
our
menne
.
But
the
Almaines
beyng
greedie
of
gaine
,
and
ouercome
with
wine
,
could
not
bee
brought
a
Shipboarde
in
no
due
season
:
and
so
through
their
owne
follie
and
lewde
behauioure
,
thei
were
entrapped
and
ouerthrowne
:
and
yet
was
there
as
greate
regarde
for
their
preseruation
as
might
bee
,
but
their
reatchlesse
maner
was
suche
,
that
no
deuise
could
recouer
them
,
and
so
thei
perished
.
When
our
people
did
prospere
,
and
came
awaie
with
honour
and
commoditie
.
From
Concquet
there
was
appoincted
seuen
Sailes
of
Shippes
,
to
goe
to
my
Lorde
of
Sussex
,
then
Lorde

The

The

And
all

at
Daukkith
,
who
noblie
sett
forwarde
and

Kynteer
(

and
raized

Castles

,
the
Ile

Combra
,
and
the
Ile

Amilashe
,
with
diuers
other
places
in
that
iourney
.
And
at
this
seruice
was
sir
Willyam
Fitz
Willyams
,
maister
George
Delues
,
Capitaine
Colliar
,
maister
Thomas
Masterson
,
Capitaine
Warren
,
Capitaine
Peers
,
sir
George
Stanley
,
maister
Edward
Stanley
,
who
was
there
made
knight
.
And
a
nomber
of
other
lustie
gentlemen
,
that
presently
I
make
no
mention
of
.
Sir
Willyam
Winter
did
a
greate
peece
of
seruice
,
(
with
other
Englishe
gentlemen
and
Soldiours
)
at
a
place
called
Alderneye
.
For
the
Frenche
to
the
nomber
of
mene
hundred
had
taken
that
Ilande
,
and
were
in
the
Castell
in
a
marueilous
triumphe
:
But
sir
Willyam
Winter
hauyng
but
fower
hundreth
soldiours
and
Marriners
(
whiche
Marriners
who
so
markes
,
shall
see
greate
worthinesse
in
)
landed
in
Alderneye
with
his
small
companie
,
and
handeled
the
Frenche
so
hardly
,
that
he
draue
them
into
the
Castell
:
and
would
not
leaue
theim
,
till
he
had
dispatched
the
Ilande
of
theim
.
And
so
in
his
countreys
honour
,
retourned
into
Englande
againe
.
There
was
an
other
peece
of
seruice
by
Sea
,
when
Mounsire
Determes
loste
a
battaill
by
Grauelin
,
and
as
I
dooe
remember
,
maister
Nicholas
Gorge
was
at
this
seruice
.
But
be
there
who
might
,
it
happened
well
on
Mounsire
Degmondes
side
:
that
the
shotte
of
our
Shippes
had
any
meane
to
annoy
his
enemies
.
For
euen
as
at
Mosseborough
feelde
,
our
Galleye
did
greate
seruice
(
that
flancked
a
long
the
Scottes
Campe
,
and
slue
many
stoute
menne
)
.
So
our
shippes
at
this
battaill
,
made
suche
waie
emong
the
French
that
the
Borgonions
gatte
good
passege
by
that
bargaine
,
and
went
awaie
with
victorie
.
In
the
raigne
of
our
Soueraigne
Ladie
Queene
Elizabeth
,
there
was
sente
the
Hope
,
the
Lyon
,
the
Harte
,
the
Swallowe
,
and
the
Phenix
(
verie
goodly
Shippes
to
newe
Hauen
,
sir
Willyam
Woodhous
beyng
Admirall
,
who
fallyng
sicke
at
Deepe
,
wente
home
againe
with
maister
Holstocke
:
And
then
remained
maister
George
Biston
Admirall
,
hauyng
but
three
saile
in
his
companie
.
But
he
proceaded
onward
,
and
houered
vp
and
doune
the
coast
a
certain
space
,
till
at
length
commyng
before
the
Castell
of
Cane
.
Mongomrie
hauyng
espied
the
Shippes
,
that
Capitaine
Biston
brought
before
the
Toune
of
Cane
(
whiche
was
besieged
by
the
enemies
of
Count
Mongomries
)
beganne
to
prepare
hym self
and
all
his
people
,
to
goe
a
Shippe
boarde
,
and
so
came
from
Cane
,
and
passed
to
Newe
Hauen
by
Capitaine
Bistons
meanes
,
giuyng
hym
greate
thankes
,
for
his
commyng
to
Cane
,
and
for
seruyng
the
Counties
tourne
in
that
extremitie
.
The
Counte
had
brought
with
hym
from
Cane
twelue
hundred
soldiours
,
and
other
thynges
necessarie
for
his
furniture
.
And
Capitaine
Biston
departyng
from
hym
,
made
saile
into
Englande
,
and
receiued
sir
Adriane
Poinynges
,
and
maister
Cutbart
Vaughan
,
with
twoo
thousande
Soldiours
,
and
there
on
sailed
backe
againe
to
Newe
Hauen
,
and
landed
them
there
at
their
owne
willes
and
pleasure
.
After
the
siege
of
Newe
Hauen
,
the
Count
Mongomrie
gathered
a
greate
Nauie
,
and
wente
out
of
Englande
,
in
hope
to
succour
Rotchell
that
was
strongly
besieged
:
and
enteryng
in
at
the
hauens
mouthe
of
Rotchell
,
a
Cannon
shotte
passed
through
the
Shippe
the
Count
was
in
hym self
.
So
vpon
that
,
or
other
causes
vnknowne
to
many
in
his
companie
,
he
retourned
,
and
lefte
Rotchell
in
greate
daunger
.
Whiche
toune
notwithstandyng
,
againste
all
hope
,
or
expectation
of
manne
,
kepte
it self
in
suretie
,
and
did
suche
wonderfull
thynges
duryng
the
siege
thereof
,
as
to
this
daie
and
to
the
worldes
ende
,
is
,
and
wil
be
spoken
of
.
For
emong
all
the
sieges
that
euer
wee
haue
heard
of
,
there
is
not
one
comparable
to
the
siege
of
Rotchell
.
Albeeit
Haddyngton
,
Harlam
,
and
Malta
,
are
monumentes
and
patrons
to
shew
that
manhoode
maie
woorke
maruailes
,
and
constancie
ioyned
with
courage
,
is
not
easely
conquered
.
As
Rotchell
,
and
these
places
before
mention
of
doeth
witnesse
,
and
shall
whiles
we
are
men
be
daiely
remembred
.
In
that
season
whiles
the
Count
Mongomrie
was
aboute
to
succoure
Rotchell
:
Bell
Ilande
was
assaulted
,
and
verie
valliaunly
wonne
with
a
fewe
menne
,
one
of
sir
Willyam
Winters
brethren
,
beeyng
the
cheef
leader
to
that
seruice
.
In
whiche
seruice
was
many
a
hotte
skirmishe
,
and
many
more
matters
worthie
memorie
putte
in
practise
,
wherein
manhoode
,
and
diligence
of
manne
was
throughlie
tried
:
And
the
Englishe
nation
did
shewe
their
accustomed
courage
in
,
in
suche
maner
and
sort
that
the
Frenche
,
which
thought
to
keepe
Bell
Ilande
,
were
forced
to
leaue
it
,
and
seeke
their
beste
waie
to
conueigh
theim selues
from
daunger
:
albeeit
thei
defended
the
saied
Ilande
as
long
as
thei
might
.
Now
hauyng
further
causes
to
treate
of
,
and
meanyng
no
more
to
wearie
the
readers
with
many
wordes
or
warre
either
of
Sea
seruice
,
or
Landes
bloodie
broiles
.
I
mynde
to
expresse
and
set
forthe
at
large
,
how
Soldiours
were
made
of
,
and
honoured
in
tymes
paste
:
and
what
prerogatiue
thei
had
aboue
other
people
.
And
to
declare
how
Princes
helde
them
in
admiration
,
and
gaue
theim
liberties
,
titles
,
and
dignities
:
farre
beyonde
the
reste
of
any
,
that
liued
vnder
their
lawes
and
obedience
.
And
this
by
the
waie
is
to
be
thought
,
that
all
my
former
discourse
and
rehearsall
of
warres
,
attended
to
no
other
purpose
and
effecte
:
but
for
the
aduauncement
of
Soldiours
,
and
to
be
as
it
were
a
foile
to
sette
forthe
the
matter
,
I
presently
mynde
to
publishe
out
.
For
now
I
will
in
a
maner
shewe
,
how
Gentilitie
beganne
,
and
where
and
in
what
sorte
honour
was
first
gotten
and
maintained
,
whiche
argumente
as
I
hope
,
shall
not
onely
contente
the
wise
and
wel
learned
,
but
also
please
euery
degree
,
and
make
the
simple
sorte
plucke
vp
their
courages
,
and
imitate
(
by
some
honest
exercises
)
the
liues
of
noble
Soldiours
.
I
truste
I
neede
not
in
this
readie
and
ripe
age
(
wherein
good
writers
,
greate
learnyng
,
and
studious
iudgementes
doeth
florishe
)
rehearse
by
particulars
euery
parcell
and
poincte
,
that
belongeth
to
a
Soldiours
profession
.
Nor
that
you
looke
I
should
recite
when
,
and
where
the
Romaines
,
Lacedemonians
,
Athenians
,
and
other
nations
did
preferre
and
extoll
menne
of
Marshall
myndes
,
and
noble
courages
.
For
their
bookes
and
Commentaries
,
and
the
innumerable
Libraries
of
greate
antiquitie
,
are
the
verie
recordes
of
my
discourse
,
and
remaine
as
mirrours
for
you
to
looke
in
.
And
shall
proue
a
thousande
partes
more
in
the
comendation
of
Soldiours
,
then
either
my
penne
or
tongue
(
by
sufficiente
cunnyng
)
hath
power
to
expresse
.
For
it
can
not
be
,
that
from
a
little
gutte
or
Channell
of
water
,
you
should
looke
for
so
greate
a
flood
,
as
from
a
multitude
of
springes
,
from
whence
mightie
Riuers
takes
originall
and
recourse
And
so
I
sende
you
to
the
Welspryng
of
●●●●●edge
(
I
meane
the
auncient
Fathers
woorkes
)
to
fetche
true
intelligence
,
of
the
thynges
I
make
mention
of
,
touchyng
the
worthie
reputation
of
a
good
Soldiour
,
and
the
antiquitie
of
his
credite
,
triumphe
and
glorie
.
Firste
,
looke
in
the
sacred
Scriptures
,
and
searche
from
the
death
of
Abell
,
commyng
doune
orderly
to
the
birthe
of
Christe
:
And
see
whether
Souldiours
were
made
of
or
no.
And
doubtlesse
you
shall
finde
thei
were
not
onely
embraced
and
maintained
,
but
like
wise
thei
are
of
a
long
continuance
and
credite
.
As
al
the
Bible
before
Ihon
the
Baptistes
time
declareth
.
And
Christe
hym self
in
a
sorte
did
vtter
,
when
he
saied
,
he
had
not
founde
suche
faithe
in
Israell
,
as
he
sawe
in
a
Senturion
.
Yea
,
and
in
the
Apostles
Actes
,
there
is
a
speciall
poinct
to
bee
noted
:
Deuoute
Soldiours
were
sente
to
Symon
Tanners
house
to
finde
out
Peter
.
Well
,
now
I
commit
you
to
the
Scripture
,
and
I
will
followe
prophane
histories
:
and
beginne
at
the
verie
Infidelles
(
a
scorne
for
a
Christian
to
bee
taught
by
)
whiche
are
no
small
nomber
,
nor
of
no
little
continuaunce
,
people
alwaies
brought
vp
in
war
,
and
Princes
of
greate
fame
,
power
,
and
aucthoritie
.
Yea
,
conquerours
of
the
whole
worlde
,
and
kynges
to
whom
all
people
did
stoupe
and
doe
homage
.
These
Paganes
,
or
as
we
maie
tearme
them
loste
shepe
to
whom
the
greate
Shepherd
would
not
bee
knowne
,
(
and
yet
emong
theim
tormented
and
crucified
)
did
make
suche
lawes
and
orders
for
Soldiours
,
as
the
Turke
to
this
daie
obserueth
,
and
holdeth
in
greate
reuerence
.
Regard
but
the
liberties
and
aucthoritie
of
the
Ienessaries
:
and
that
shall
manifestlie
proue
,
that
menne
of
warre
are
had
in
greate
admiration
.
But
because
you
shall
haue
the
more
beleef
to
the
matter
:
read
the
life
of
Alexander
the
Greate
:
The
Commentaries
of
Iulius
Caesar
,
and
the
noble
actes
and
victories
of
a
nomber
of
other
notable
Princes
.
And
then
assuredlie
you
shal
be
perswaded
,
that
the
renowme
of
Soldiours
hath
reached
,
and
spread
as
farre
as
fame
can
flie
,
or
good
reporte
could
haue
passage
.
I
praie
you
can
any
manne
deny
,
but
it
springeth
of
a
greate
courage
,
and
zeale
to
the
Common
wealthe
:
when
a
man
forsaketh
the
pleasure
of
life
,
to
followe
the
painfulnesse
of
warre
,
and
daunger
of
death
:
and
refuseth
no
toile
nor
trauaill
,
to
purchase
credite
,
and
attaine
vnto
knowledge
.
Yea
,
some
suche
wee
reade
of
,
as
Marcus
Cursius
and
Musius
Sceuola
,
that
refused
no
enterprises
,
to
doe
their
Countrey
pleasure
.
Yea
,
some
haue
solde
their
patrimonie
,
and
consumed
their
Threasure
and
riches
,
to
enriche
their
Princes
with
glorie
,
and
euerlastyng
renowme
.
Were
not
this
a
madnesse
,
and
more
then
a
meere
folly
,
to
be
a
drudge
to
the
worlde
,
and
a
labourer
for
those
that
sittes
at
reste
,
and
to
watche
and
warde
.
Feight
,
striue
,
and
struggle
with
strangers
for
victorie
:
and
then
to
come
home
and
be
rewarded
as
common
persones
,
and
walke
like
a
shadowe
in
the
Sunne
,
without
estimation
or
countenaunce
.
Would
any
that
had
wisedome
,
vallue
,
and
courage
,
be
ouer
ronne
with
vicious
fooles
and
cowardes
:
or
be
made
a
footestoole
to
ther
inferiour
,
when
thei
haue
climed
vp
the
steppes
of
honoure
,
and
are
gotten
into
the
toppe
gallaunte
of
worldlie
glorie
,
and
warlicke
triumphe
.
Emong
children
that
doe
but
plaie
at
the
bucklars
,
there
is
a
preheminence
,
and
one
will
acknowedge
the
other
to
be
his
better
,
when
good
bobbes
are
bestowed
:
and
sodainlie
a
stoute
taule
lobber
will
laye
doune
the
waster
,
and
yeelde
to
hym
that
hath
more
practise
,
and
skill
in
the
weapon
then
hym self
.
Then
shall
not
a
man
that
hath
coped
with
Champions
,
buckled
with
Conquerers
,
and
abidden
the
hazard
of
the
Cannon
,
stande
on
his
Pantoffelles
,
and
loke
to
the
steppes
he
hath
passed
.
Yes
sure
,
and
suche
a
member
of
the
state
,
(
the
baser
sorte
are
Ciphers
)
ought
to
be
made
of
,
deserueth
place
and
preheminence
,
and
is
no
companion
for
punies
▪
nor
meete
to
bee
matched
with
Milkesoppes
,
whose
manhoode
and
maners
differs
,
as
farre
from
the
graue
Soldiour
,
as
a
Donkite
in
courage
and
condition
,
differs
from
a
Ierfaucō
.
As
the
duetie
to
a
mannes
countrey
,
and
the
wages
that
he
taketh
,
bindes
him
to
doe
the
vttermoste
he
maie
:
so
were
there
not
an
other
cause
,
that
forceth
further
matter
.
Full
coldly
some
would
feight
,
and
full
slowly
some
would
march
to
the
battaill
,
albeit
the
Princes
quarrell
and
wages
receiued
,
commaundeth
muche
,
and
is
a
thyng
stoutly
and
wisely
to
be
looked
to
.
But
I
tell
you
,
fame
and
reputation
is
the
marke
that
men
shoote
at
,
and
the
greedinesse
of
glorie
and
ambition
,
pricketh
the
mynde
so
fast
forward
,
that
neither
the
man
lookes
vppon
the
multitude
of
enemies
:
Nor
regardes
the
daunger
of
death
,
so
he
maie
bee
eternised
,
and
liue
in
the
good
opinion
of
the
Prince
and
people
.
For
he
that
but
bluntly
lookes
aboute
hym
,
and
goeth
to
the
warre
for
wealth
(
whiche
hardly
is
there
gotten
)
is
lead
on
with
a
coueteous
desire
of
that
he
shall
not
haue
,
and
may
feight
like
an
Oxe
,
and
dye
like
an
Asse
.
But
who
so
respecteth
his
credite
,
and
paiseth
in
ballaunce
the
worthinesse
of
fame
,
that
riseth
by
well
doyng
:
doeth
combate
like
a
Lyon
,
and
either
conquers
like
a
man
,
or
dieth
like
a
conquerour
,
as
many
greate
Kynges
and
Capitaines
haue
doen
,
whose
ensamples
a
long
while
agoe
,
as
yet
remaines
freashelie
in
memorie
.
It
maie
not
be
thought
that
euery
mercionarie
mnane
,
and
common
hirelyng
(
taken
vp
for
awhile
,
or
seruyng
a
small
season
)
is
a
Soldiour
fitte
to
bee
regestered
,
or
honoured
emong
the
renowmed
sort
of
warlike
people
.
For
suche
nombers
of
besoingnes
,
or
necessarie
instrumentes
for
the
tyme
,
are
to
fall
to
their
occupation
when
the
seruice
is
ended
,
and
not
to
liue
idellie
,
or
looke
for
embrasyng
.
For
neither
thei
tarrie
long
in
the
feelde
,
when
thei
are
preste
to
goe
forthe
.
Nor
are
not
often
called
againe
to
the
like
iourney
,
so
greate
is
our
store
of
suche
persones
:
and
so
many
shiftes
thei
can
make
,
to
putte
of
any
paine
and
hazard
.
But
he
is
to
be
accounted
the
couragious
Soldiour
,
that
is
giuen
by
his
owne
disposition
,
to
delight
and
folowe
the
Cannon
wheele
,
whose
countenaunce
and
chearfull
face
,
beginnes
to
smile
and
reioyce
when
the
Dromme
soundeth
,
and
whose
harte
is
so
high
,
it
will
not
stoupe
to
no
seruile
slauerie
.
But
hath
a
bodie
and
mynde
able
to
aunswere
that
is
looked
for
,
and
hath
often
been
tried
and
experimented
in
Marshal
affaires
:
through
hauntyng
whereof
he
is
become
ignoraunt
of
drudgyng
at
home
,
and
made
a
skilfull
scholler
in
the
discipline
of
warre
:
whiche
is
not
learned
without
some
losse
of
blood
,
charges
of
purse
,
and
consumyng
of
tyme
.
And
this
maie
bee
iudged
,
and
plainly
presupposed
,
that
many
of
that
sorte
of
men
are
not
founde
aliue
,
to
trouble
or
burthen
a
common
wealth
,
because
thei
are
cutte
of
through
daungerous
seruices
,
or
forced
by
seekyng
of
Fame
in
the
feeld
,
to
sell
that
thei
haue
at
home
,
and
so
to
trauaile
abrode
,
subiecte
to
all
miserie
,
and
farre
from
any
freendship
or
prosperous
estate
.
And
sometymes
through
the
greatnesse
of
their
myndes
,
that
galloppes
after
glorie
,
are
carried
awaie
to
seeke
out
newe
kyngdomes
,
and
refuse
their
old
abitation
.
A
matter
fallyng
out
well
,
worthie
to
bee
liked
,
but
other
wise
,
a
heauie
tale
to
bee
tolde
,
and
an
experience
bought
with
ouermuche
repentaunce
.
But
euery
waie
occasions
thei
are
,
that
dispatcheth
many
a
good
Soldioure
,
and
makes
the
nomber
so
little
,
that
it
is
reason
suche
as
are
lefte
aliue
of
that
profession
:
should
either
bee
rewarded
,
or
at
the
least
reape
some
suche
credite
,
as
the
common
sort
of
people
should
haue
theim
,
in
admiration
for
,
and
offer
theim
suche
courtesie
,
as
the
worthinesse
of
their
experience
and
seruice
requireth
.
If
in
the
olde
tyme
our
forefathers
vsed
their
menne
of
warre
noblie
,
prefarred
theim
to
promotions
,
and
dealte
honourably
with
theim
that
serued
their
countrey
,
when
warres
were
not
so
cruell
.
Why
should
not
this
worlde
,
wherein
pollicies
,
murthers
,
and
bloodshed
is
followed
(
and
hazardes
are
maruelously
escaped
)
to
the
vttermoste
of
mannes
power
,
haue
more
regard
to
a
soldiour
that
shunneth
no
hazard
,
nor
refuseth
no
perill
.
There
is
no
more
to
saie
,
for
the
aunsweryng
of
this
greate
ouersight
,
but
the
Hackney
horse
is
vnhappie
,
hauyng
borne
a
burthen
al
the
daie
on
his
back
,
and
is
caste
of
at
night
to
a
bare
common
,
there
to
seeke
for
foode
,
and
abide
a
harde
Fortune
.
There
is
a
worse
matter
then
this
to
bee
treated
of
,
yet
nothing
but
that
so
farre
past
remedie
to
bee
touched
:
let
any
one
seruyng
man
gett
a
good
maister
,
and
for
followyng
his
heeles
at
an
ynche
,
he
shal
be
more
spoken
for
and
gett
more
benefite
,
then
twentie
of
the
beste
Soldiours
that
you
can
name
,
that
haue
followed
the
warres
all
their
life
daies
,
and
knewe
not
how
to
flatter
and
faune
,
or
crouche
and
coursie
for
commoditie
.
Yea
,
suche
as
serues
at
home
,
and
can
not
goe
out
of
the
vewe
of
a
faire
house
,
and
Smoke
of
a
foule
Chimney
,
snatcheth
vp
good
tournes
,
and
stealts
awaie
prefarmentes
priuilie
:
when
those
that
merites
more
consideration
,
ofte
goes
openly
a
beggyng
,
and
findeth
fewe
emong
thousandes
that
wisheth
them
well
,
or
doeth
them
any
good
.
Some
saie
the
cause
of
this
harde
happe
to
the
one
,
and
good
Fortune
to
the
other
,
is
a
certaine
deadly
discention
,
fallen
betwene
the
Sworde
and
the
Penne.
By
which
mortall
malice
is
bredde
and
nourished
in
bosome
,
suche
a
head-strong
hatred
and
parciallitie
,
that
the
Penne
is
euer
giuyng
a
dashe
out
of
order
,
against
the
commendation
of
the
sword
,
and
the
Sworde
beyng
disgraced
,
by
a
balde
blotte
of
a
scuruie
Goose
quill
,
lyes
in
a
broken
rustie
scabberd
,
and
so
takes
a
Canker
,
whiche
eates
awaie
the
edge
,
and
is
in
a
maner
loste
for
lacke
of
good
lookyng
to
,
and
consideration
of
a
painfull
Cutlare
.
And
the
Penne
(
as
many
people
are
perswaded
)
is
like
the
Pensell
of
a
Painter
,
alwaies
readie
to
sette
out
sondrie
colours
,
and
sometime
more
apt
to
make
a
blurre
,
then
giue
a
good
shape
and
proportion
to
any
inuention
or
deuise
,
that
proceades
of
a
plaine
meanyng
.
And
as
all
Penselles
are
as
well
occupied
of
a
bonglyng
Painter
,
as
a
cunnyng
woorke
manne
.
So
the
scriblyng
Penne
is
euer
woorkyng
of
some
subteltie
more
for
the
benefite
of
the
writer
,
then
commonlie
for
the
profite
or
pleasure
of
the
reader
:
yea
,
and
the
Penne
is
waxt
so
fine
,
and
can
shewe
suche
a
florishe
,
that
a
maister
of
Fence
,
though
he
plaied
with
a
twoo
hande
Sworde
,
might
bee
put
to
a
foule
foile
:
where
the
Penne
is
in
place
,
and
is
guided
by
a
sleight
hande
,
and
a
shrewde
hedde
.
But
vnder
correction
,
if
a
man
maie
bee
plaine
,
the
Pen
and
the
Sworde
can
neuer
agree
,
because
the
Penne
standes
in
suche
feare
of
the
Sworde
,
it
would
not
come
vnder
the
blowe
of
the
blade
:
and
the
Sworde
is
in
suche
doubte
to
bee
moiled
with
ynke
,
by
the
dashe
of
a
Penne
,
that
it
loues
not
to
come
where
the
Penne
maie
annoye
it
.
And
so
the
dissention
and
quarrell
betweene
the
Penne
and
the
Sworde
,
is
neuer
like
to
bee
taken
vp
:
the
harmes
are
so
greate
that
growes
on
their
amitie
and
meetyng
,
and
the
aduauntage
of
them
bothe
is
so
muche
when
thei
bee
kept
a
sonder
.
For
the
sworde
is
beste
and
in
his
moste
brauerie
,
when
it
is
shinyng
in
the
feelde
,
where
blood
maie
bee
shedde
,
and
honour
maie
bee
wonne
.
And
the
Penne
is
in
cheefest
pompe
,
when
it
lyes
lurkyng
in
the
toune
,
where
pence
maie
be
purchased
,
and
peace
and
quietnesse
maie
doe
what
it
pleaseth
.
And
the
Penne
is
so
glad
to
reste
in
the
Pennar
,
till
profite
calles
hym
out
,
that
he
can
not
abide
the
hindrers
of
his
commoditie
,
nor
the
disquieter
of
his
ease
.
Whiche
commeth
by
warres
,
and
procedeth
from
the
Sworde
,
when
the
Drom
and
the
Trompet
puttes
the
Penne
out
of
credite
.
Now
to
speake
roundly
to
the
reason
,
maie
bee
alledged
in
the
Pennes
behalfe
(
and
praises
of
those
haue
the
vse
of
the
same
)
it
can
not
bee
denied
,
but
the
Penne
maie
bothe
perswade
warre
,
and
purchace
peace
.
And
those
that
here
at
home
maintaine
good
Lawes
:
see
iustice
ministered
,
vphold
the
publike
state
:
Plead
controuersies
at
the
barre
,
studie
to
vnfolde
doubtes
.
Labour
at
their
booke
to
bee
profitable
members
,
and
striue
daiely
to
excell
in
learnyng
,
and
quiete
the
quarellous
people
of
their
countrey
.
Suche
I
saie
that
with
Penor
tonge
,
aduaunceth
vertue
,
and
ouerthrowes
vice
,
are
meete
to
bee
honoured
,
deserueth
greate
lande
,
and
ought
to
goe
in
the
rancke
and
place
of
commendation
and
dignitie
.
For
there
is
but
fower
sortes
of
true
Nobilitie
,
or
Gentlemenne
.
The
firste
is
Gouernours
,
by
whom
all
states
and
Kyngdomes
are
guided
,
brought
to
knowe
order
,
and
made
possesse
in
quietnesse
the
gooddes
that
either
good
Fortune
,
or
sweate
of
browes
hath
gotten
.
The
seconde
are
Soldiours
,
whose
venter
and
valliance
hath
been
greate
,
seruice
and
labour
not
little
,
and
daiely
defended
with
the
hazarde
of
their
liues
,
the
libertie
of
their
Countrey
.
The
thirde
are
vpright
and
learned
Lawyers
,
that
looketh
more
to
the
matter
thei
haue
in
hande
,
then
the
money
thei
receiue
.
And
are
neuer
idell
in
dooyng
their
duetie
,
and
studiyng
for
the
quietnesse
of
matters
in
controuersie
.
The
fowerth
are
Marchauntes
that
sailes
forrain
countreys
,
and
brynges
home
commodities
:
and
after
greate
hazardes
abroad
,
doe
vtter
their
ware
with
regard
of
conscience
and
profite
to
the
publike
estate
.
And
as
from
the
beginnyng
gouernours
and
rulers
wer
ordeined
by
God
,
and
the
reste
of
gentilitie
came
in
,
and
did
followe
as
reason
required
,
and
desarte
did
commaunde
.
So
auncient
birth
and
blood
(
ioyned
with
good
conditions
)
is
a
thyng
muche
to
bee
honoured
and
esteemed
,
and
beautifies
not
onely
the
noble
race
,
but
brynges
likewise
a
treable
beatitude
,
to
the
persone
so
verteouslie
bent
and
noblie
borne
.
And
as
for
the
soldiours
and
their
originall
,
of
honours
,
titles
,
and
callyng
,
the
Romains
(
whiche
were
the
Fathers
of
all
Marshall
affaires
,
and
conquerours
of
the
worlde
,
haue
so
muche
spoken
of
and
praised
,
that
no
manne
can
deny
,
but
thei
are
the
men
of
greatest
antiquitie
,
and
people
that
princes
firste
prefarred
,
and
gaue
stipendes
vnto
.
Yea
,
and
the
cheefest
conquerours
that
euer
were
before
our
daies
:
had
a
greate
glorie
them selues
to
bee
called
Soldiours
,
and
Noble
Capitaines
.
For
thei
thought
none
so
worthie
as
the
soldiour
,
nor
none
so
mete
to
compare
them selues
vnto
,
as
the
man
that
stoode
on
his
honour
,
and
would
neither
stoupe
to
no
kinde
of
slauerie
,
nor
yeelde
to
no
villanous
action
.
But
in
verie
deede
,
to
speake
of
euery
one
in
their
order
,
there
is
none
so
muche
to
bee
feared
,
loued
,
and
honoured
as
the
rulers
and
leaders
of
the
common
people
.
For
the
peaceable
Gouernoure
,
and
suche
as
are
experimented
in
worldlie
pollicies
,
knowes
how
to
make
warre
,
and
how
to
auoide
troubles
:
and
as
thei
are
lothe
to
fall
from
reste
and
wealthe
,
to
ruffelyng
warre
and
wickednesse
,
that
breedes
bloodshed
and
want
.
So
thei
can
breake
the
bandes
of
peace
,
and
set
menne
out
to
the
feelde
,
when
causes
commaundes
them
,
and
oportunitie
doeth
serue
.
But
since
that
my
purpose
,
is
but
to
treate
of
Soldiours
alone
,
(
and
that
I
lacke
skill
to
set
forthe
the
reste
)
I
will
retourne
to
my
firste
discourse
and
intent
,
and
leaue
the
wise
to
consider
,
what
good
matter
maie
be
saied
in
the
thyng
I
leaue
of
.
The
Soldioure
,
because
his
life
is
in
Ballunce
,
and
his
death
is
at
the
dore
,
hath
so
many
mischeeues
to
passe
,
and
so
fewe
meanes
to
escape
daunger
:
that
he
is
compelled
to
bee
honest
,
and
be
ready
to
make
an
accompt
euery
hower
of
the
daie
.
For
as
the
Cannon
maie
call
hym
before
he
be
a
ware
,
or
the
pollicie
of
the
enemie
maie
cutte
of
his
yeres
:
So
is
he
assured
that
the
potte
,
whiche
goeth
often
to
the
water
,
commes
home
with
a
knocke
,
or
at
lengthe
is
passhed
all
in
peeces
.
Through
whiche
accidentes
or
crosse
chances
,
he
is
held
so
harde
,
and
curbed
so
shorte
(
if
any
feare
of
God
bee
in
his
breast
)
that
he
hath
no
scope
to
runne
at
riot
in
:
nor
plaie
the
partes
of
a
wanton
,
or
prodigall
soonne
.
Albeeit
some
holde
opinion
,
that
Soldiours
be
giuen
to
spoile
,
and
offered
to
insolente
life
,
by
a
nomber
of
inconueniences
:
yet
maie
thei
so
well
be
occupied
in
warre
,
that
thei
maie
bee
occasion
of
greate
good
,
and
a
greate
hynderer
of
many
harmes
.
For
when
houses
are
readie
to
be
burnt
,
impotente
persones
,
poore
women
and
children
readie
to
bee
slaine
:
thei
maie
saue
what
the
liste
,
and
preserue
an
infinite
nomber
of
thynges
,
that
a
man
at
home
can
doe
no
good
in
,
nor
none
but
the
Soldiour
in
the
feelde
,
hath
power
to
comforte
and
succour
.
And
for
certaine
I
knowe
Soldiours
of
that
disposition
,
that
hath
been
occupied
in
these
honeste
actions
:
when
some
helhoundes
haue
been
spoilyng
and
murtheryng
,
and
founde
by
their
follie
and
ouer
greate
crueltie
,
a
dispatche
of
their
owne
daies
,
and
peraduenture
the
terrible
wrathe
of
God
,
and
damnation
to
their
soules
.
My
Prince
maie
bee
well
serued
,
and
the
enemie
not
alwaies
to
the
vttermoste
persecuted
:
the
lesson
that
Saincte
Ihon
Baptist
gaue
the
soldiours
,
maie
suffice
for
this
matter
,
and
carrie
mennes
myndes
from
violence
,
and
doyng
wrong
,
to
quallifie
furie
,
and
maintaine
right
,
with
a
regard
to
the
innocent
,
that
ought
not
to
bee
touched
,
for
the
offence
of
an
ambicious
leader
,
or
one
whose
faultes
the
ignoraunte
maie
not
aunswere
.
This
poincte
though
simplie
it
is
passed
ouer
,
maie
containe
a
large
volume
:
and
is
to
be
looked
into
with
a
deuine
spectacle
,
and
a
Christian
consideration
.
Then
if
the
souldiours
(
as
fewe
there
are
in
nomber
)
bee
honest
,
and
is
to
be
proued
,
thei
are
not
to
bee
reproued
:
it
followes
that
honour
and
reputation
accompanies
those
soldiours
,
and
that
a
singulare
priuiledge
and
libertie
,
maie
bee
had
for
those
that
haue
suche
regarde
of
their
Fame
,
that
thei
will
doe
no
any
one
thyng
preiudiciall
to
their
credite
,
in
the
compasse
of
whiche
regarde
is
knitte
,
valliaunce
,
modestie
,
pittie
,
and
hope
of
an
other
life
to
come
:
when
the
affaires
of
this
worlde
shall
duetifully
,
and
honestly
bee
finished
.
And
for
that
the
reader
hereof
shall
not
thynke
,
but
that
greate
Princes
thought
their
Soldiours
to
bee
honeste
,
and
men
that
were
worthie
the
makyng
of
(
whose
doynges
and
regard
did
argue
,
and
shewe
a
speciall
hope
of
an
other
place
to
goe
to
,
or
a
certaine
fame
and
eredite
here
to
bee
mainteined
)
I
will
shewe
you
as
I
haue
gathered
by
translation
,
how
triumphant
kinges
and
princely
potentates
,
did
ordain
sette
doune
,
and
deliuer
a
lawe
and
rule
for
Soldiours
.
By
the
whiche
thei
had
honour
,
libertie
,
and
prerogatiue
aboue
,
and
beyonde
the
Commoners
,
or
common
course
of
people
.
The
translation
I
speake
of
is
not
so
long
and
tedious
,
but
bryngyng
willyng
myndes
to
heare
and
knowe
the
truthe
,
you
maie
reade
,
if
laisure
permitte
,
and
you
peruse
that
followeth
.
Firste
you
muste
marke
(
and
make
a
good
note
of
)
that
Heraldes
were
at
the
beginnyng
Soldiours
,
and
were
called
aunciente
Knightes
,
as
well
it
seemeth
to
bee
true
:
For
thei
(
I
meane
Harraldes
)
beyng
brought
vp
in
warre
,
behelde
who
deserued
renowme
,
and
had
by
their
aucthoritie
and
experience
,
a
power
to
giue
Armes
and
signe
of
honour
to
those
,
whiche
for
well
doyng
in
feelde
or
publike
state
,
did
merite
remembraunce
,
whiche
power
and
place
of
the
Harralde
doeth
plainly
expresse
:
that
from
the
feelde
,
or
honourable
offices
at
home
,
sprong
vp
our
gentillitie
,
and
generation
of
gentilmen
.
For
as
euery
mannes
bloud
in
a
bason
lookes
of
one
colour
:
and
when
Adam
was
created
,
and
a
long
while
after
,
men
were
all
a
like
.
So
vertuous
actes
that
shines
to
the
heauens
,
hath
made
them
to
be
honoured
and
aduaunced
,
where
vicious
liuers
,
and
bloudthirstie
wretches
were
accursed
of
God
,
and
hated
of
man
.
And
had
a
marke
sette
vppon
theim
to
bee
knowen
by
,
and
bee
a
testimonie
to
the
worlde
,
that
thei
were
not
worthie
of
honour
,
and
were
appointed
to
reproche
.
Let
Caine
that
killed
his
brother
Abell
(
by
an
vniuste
warre
)
bee
a
witnesse
in
this
behalfe
.
Eneas
Siluius
doeth
deriue
Heraldes
of
ab
Heroibus
,
of
noble
men
:
For
Heroes
were
aunciente
Knightes
,
otherwise
called
Soldiours
,
and
an
Herauld
signifieth
Centonicum
vocabulum
(
videlicet
)
and
olde
manne
of
Armes
,
or
an
olde
knight
,
but
at
this
daie
(
said
Eneas
a
long
while
since
)
certaine
seruile
menne
,
feeble
and
weake
messengers
,
whiche
neuer
haue
plaied
the

,
dooe
professe

The

And
the
first
aucthour
of
theim
was
Bacchus
,
whiche
India
beeyng
conquered
,
did
call
them
by
this
name
:
I
absolue
you
of

and
will
that
you

Your

shal
bee
to

for
the
Commonweale
,
to

And

You

Credite

You

These

punishe
:
and
in
euery
nation
you
shall
haue
libertie
,
and
sure
egresse
and

shall
be

you
,
if
any

any

in

or

let

Alexander
the
Great
hath
annexed
to

Priuileges
of
noble

,
after

,
that

If

Who

No

And
laste

Charles

Caesar

My

Keepe

If

But
take

These
before
rehearsed
woorde
for

,
as
I
might
I
translated
out
of
Latine
,
findyng
therein
a
marueilous
commendation
of
Soldiours
,
and
so
is
thereby
to
be
perceiued
,
that
in

gouernementes
,
Kynges
and
mightie
Monarkes
,
tooke
care
as
muche
for
their

of

,
as
for
their
commonweale
:
and
to
bring
them
in
harte
if
any
dispaire
or
mislike
,
should
growe
through
flacknesse
of
lookyng
vnto
.
The
Princes
of
their
princelie
benyngnitie
,
and
mere
good
will
borne
to
Marshall
people
,
inuested
them
with
titles
,
names
,
and
honoures
,
suche
as
alwaies
pluckes
vp
mannes
courage
,
and
procures
thousandes
to
valliauncie
and
seruice
.
For
who
will
not
venter
boldly
a
season
,
when
thei
knowe
for
ten
yeres
toile
and
hazard
,
he
shal
bee
honoured
,
sitte
at
ease
,
liue
without
daunger
,
and
remaine
in
a
perpetuall
priuiledge
:
neither
subiecte
to
the
mallice
of
leaude
people
,
nor
worldlie
wante
,
whose
plague
persecuteth
many
millions
of

and
throwes
doune
in

the
praises
of
suche

as
otherwise
should
shine
like
the
Sunne
,
before
the
eyes
of
all
nations
.
And
as
those
Kynges
and
Conquerours
many
hundred
yeres
agoe
,
ordained
by
decree
and
vertue
of
a
Lawe
,
that
Soldiours
should
bee
made
honourable
,
and
possesse
greate
contentation
of
mynde
▪
So
fell
it
out
from
tyme
to
tyme
,
their
seruices
were
considered
.
And
that
Soldiour
like
kyng
and
triumphant
conquerour
Kyng
Henry
the
eight
,
hauyng
triall
of
Soldiours
and
a
warlike
harte
:
to
shewe
the
honour
belongyng
to
that
profession
,
and
to
followe
his
noble
predecessours
.
Made
a
Lawe
as
ye
maie
read
in
the
Statutes
,
that
Soldiours
might
weare
what
thei
listed
:
And
further
to
the
comforte
of
all
menne
of
warre
,
he
left
no
one
worthie
soldiour
vnrewarded
,
in
what
place
so
euer
of
his
dominion
,
or
affaires
the
Soldiour
had
been
emploied
.
In
Fraunce
,
our
neere
neighbours
makes
so
greate
accounte
of
Soldiours
(
namely
those
that
thei
call
Soldado
Vetche
)
that
the
greatest
Dukes
or
Princes
in
the
feelde
,
Courte
or
Toune
,
encounteryng
a
Soldiour
,
salutes
hym
with
courtesie
,
takes
hym
to
his
Table
,
and
vseth
hym
with
suche
entertainement
and
reuerence
,
that
it
is
a
worlde
to
beholde
:
And
when
seruice
is
to
bee
seen
,

The

Soldiour

old
and
yong
of
their

,
are
foremoste
in
the

and

that
will

It
is
a
thyng
incredible
emong
some
ignoraunt
persones
,
to
be
tolde
how
Soldiour-like
,
and
manlike
in
all
poinctes
thei
behaue
themselues
,
and
how
little
accompte
thei
make
of
life
:
when
death
muste
bee
sought
by
seruice
,
and
thereby
their
honoure
and
libertie
of
Countrey
,
is
to
be

The
Spanyardes
,
a
Nation
not

to
any
yet
named
,
ioyne
so
in
amitie
at
their
meetyng
,
make

and
shewe
suche

of

(
especiallie
emong

)
that
euery

in

embraseth
his

Yea

that
it
is
hard
to
knowe
by
their

,
whiche
is
the

of
them
.
And
thei
haue
their

in

,
that
no
people
in
the
worlde
,
shal
be
suffered
to
reape
any

of

.
The
Italians
Soldiours
of
greate
antiquitie
,
and
of
no
lesse
vallue
with
moste
humilitie
and
Ciuill
maner
,
enterchaungeth
their

:
yeeldyng
for

gentle

,
twentie
good

,
smothe

,
and
philed

.
And
happenyng
to
come

,
either
in

,
or
otherwise
:
thei
agree
like
brethren
,
and
departe
without

And
their
greate

and
mightiest
in

,
if
thei
repaire
where
Soldiours
are
,
shewes
theim selues
of
little
aucthoritie
,
as
a

might
gesse
by
their
courtesie
:
Refuseth
to
take

,
where
the
Marshall
man
approcheth
,
and
seemeth
to
bee
at
the
disposition
of
suche
as
haue
serued
,
so
great
is
the
reputation
of
a
soldiour
emong
them
.
The
Scottes
menne
,
a
stoute
and
manly
people
,
beginnyng
to
take
a
sauour
in
the
warre
,
seekes
sondrie
soiles
to
serue
in
:
and
haue
greate
delite
to
bee
in
the
companie
of
soldiours
,
and
proue
them selues
worthie
of
commendation
,
in
any
place
thei
repaire
.
And
for
that
thei
would
become
famous
,
and
attain
to
some
experience
and
credite
,
thei
shunne
no
kinde
of
seruice
that
is
offered
:
and
all
the
sortes
of
gentilitie
emong
them
,
esteemeth
muche
a
Soldiour
.
Whiche
is
a
signe
that
at
the
length
,
soldiours
wil
come
to
their
auncient
dignitie
and
admiration
,
where
the
sound
of
Dromme
or
Trompet
maie
bee
heard
.
Now
to
speake
of
our
owne
Nation
were
superfluous
,
(
although
many
haue
serued
well
,
and
sondrie
are
yet
in
the
excersices
of
warre
)
beeause
I
haue
named
before
diuerse
thynges
,
wherein
our
countrey
menne
haue
wonne
desired
fame
and
renoume
,
yet
for
argumentes
sake
,
and
to
enlarge
this
volume
.
Further
matter
maie
bee
treated
of
,
neither
hurtfull
to
the
hearers
,
that
fauoureth
well
doyng
:
nor
hatefull
to
any
when
nothyng
shal
bee
touched
,
but
that
whiche
is
necessarie
for
the
aduauncement
of
vertue
.
Our
soueraigne
Ladie
by
Gods
prouidence
(
to
make
vp
the
matter
)
I
bryng
for
a
testimonie
of
greate
regard
to
soldiours
,
consideryng
whom
thei
are
she
hath
holpen
,
in
some
sort
and
respecte
,
and
what
good
thinges
haue
passed
emong
suche
Soldiours
,
as
her
highnesse
heard
well
of
,
or
had
intelligence
giuen
her
to
vnderstande
,
the
worthinesse
of
those
that
had
well
deserued
.
Dooe
but
examine
how
many
since
her
noble
raigne
,
of
Soldiours
haue
had
Leases
,
gotten
liuynges
,
been
preferred
to
gouernemente
,
and
gone
from
Courte
with
full
handes
,
that
beganne
with
emptie
purses
.
And
then
tell
the
worlde
openly
,
what
secrete
suites
were
passed
,
and
what
open
wrong
thei
doe
them
,
that
bountifully
bestowed
good
giftes
,
where
any
good
cause
appeared
.
Admitte
some
by
the
reporte
of
their
freendes
,
stole
awaie
the
benefites
from
the
fountaine
hedde
:
yet
looke
to
the
reste
of
thynges
that
worthely
fell
out
,
and
you
shall
see
the
beste
sort
of
Soldiours
worthely
rewarded
,
and
noblie
vsed
.
What
care
wee
though
some
sillie
soules
,
or
seruiceable
Soldiours
watche
at
receipte
,
or
are
not
spoken
for
by
meane
of
some
hinderars
of
good
happe
.
Yet
since
other
some
,
and
many
in
nomber
haue
found
good
Fortune
(
saie
what
thei
can
)
at
her
highnesse
handes
that
now
remaineth
Queene
ouer
our
Countrey
,
we
can
not
but
confesse
that
the
candell
is
in
,
and
not
burnt
so
farre
,
but
maie
giue
a
gracious
blase
and
a
newe
light
,
to
lighten
the
myndes
of
Soldiours
,
and
suche
as
sitte
in
the
comfortlesse
shadowe
of
darke
dispaire
.
So
to
make
short
and
proue
for
the
purpose
,
Soldiours
in
tymes
paste
haue
been
sette
by
,
and
dearely
esteemed
,
and
presently
in
all
places
of
the
worlde
embrased
and
made
of
.
From
whom
sprong
Herroldes
,
the
erectours
and
publishers
of
gentilmen
,
and
all
true
fame
and
honour
did
rise
:
as
for
example
,
a
Knght
made
in
the
feelde
,
especially
for
seruice
sake
,
hath
muche
more
to
reioyce
of
,
then
he
that
at
home
is
called
to
worship
,
excepte
in
causes
of
gouernment
,
and
honourable
offices
,
whiche
are
to
bee
prefarred
before
al
other
dignities
and
callyng
.
Cheefly
for
that
our
whole
publike
state
and
Princely
order
,
dependes
on
their
wisedoms
without
the
whiche
order
,
and
Maiestie
of
rule
,
the
Ciuill
would
become
sauage
,
and
the
worlde
would
waxe
wilde
:
so
that
the
beastes
in
the
feelde
,
and
the
people
in
the
Toune
,
should
sone
for
naughtie
maners
bee
a
like
in
condition
.
Now
here
is
to
be
noted
,
that
Soldiours
in
old
tyme
of
tenne
yeres
continuaunce
,
beyng
fourtie
yeres
of
age
,
was
suffered
to
liue
quiet
,
and
bore
the
title
of
honour
.
Then
reason
will
graunt
,
that
who
hath
serued
thirtie
yeres
,
without
reproch
or
shame
(
and
in
a
dangerous
worlde
and
mischeef
)
maie
claime
by
right
a
pention
of
the
Prince
,
and
stipende
of
the
common
threasure
.
But
what
and
if
some
of
good
birthe
and
hauior
,
haue
been
muche
more
then
thirtie
yeres
a
follower
of
the
warres
,
and
neuer
out
of
warlike
exercises
al
this
long
season
.
And
yet
are
as
newe
to
begin
the
worlde
again
,
as
thei
were
the
first
daie
thei
came
from
their
Cradell
.
For
any
prefarment
,
fauour
of
the
Prince
,
or
countenaunce
and
commoditie
of
their
countrey
.
Suche
Soldiours
maie
saie
,
thei
were
borne
in
an
vnhappie
season
,
or
founde
but
colde
freendes
in
tyme
of
regard
,
and
triall
of
good
Fortune
.
The
affection
of
this
worlde
is
ledde
with
suche
likyng
,
(
and
the
cunning
of
the
wilie
can
so
finely
currie
fauour
)
that
he
that
neuer
came
nere
the
daunger
of
the
Cannon
,
with
lokyng
bigge
,
and
tournyng
vp
his
mouchachose
,
makes
men
beleeue
he
is
a
Deuill
,
who
fearyng
the
monster
will
dooe
some
mischeef
.
And
carried
awaie
by
affection
(
for
the
goodly
shewe
this
kill
Cowe
hath
made
)
speake
for
hym
where
goodnesse
is
to
bee
gotten
,
and
so
a
swadde
or
a
swirnpipe
is
called
a
good
Soldiour
(
and
goes
awaie
with
credite
and
liuyng
)
when
he
that
wantes
this
cunnyng
,
and
yet
lackes
no
courage
nor
vallue
liues
vnrewarded
,
and
consumes
his
daies
in
sorrowe
.
Yet
some
holde
opinion
,
it
is
but
happe
that
helpes
,
and
neither
cunnyng
nor
desartes
that
compasseth
good
liuynges
,
and
attaines
vnto
benefite
.
Full
bare
and
poore
is
that
argumente
and
reason
,
and
menne
of
suche
opinions
are
as
blinde
as
a
beetell
:
to
beleeue
he
is
happie
that
hath
no
worthinesse
in
hym
,
and
he
vnfortunate
that
lacketh
no
vertues
.
But
the
worlde
is
moste
ignorant
and
muche
to
be
blamed
,
that
helpeth
a
shadowe
to
greate
substaunce
,
and
lettes
the
worthy
shift
for
their
liuing
that
deserueth
reward
.
And
thei
are
not
to
bee
excused
,
that
by
a
colour
of
happe
,
aduaunceth
the
victous
persone
,
and
fauours
not
the
forward
Soldiour
,
and
menne
of
vertuous
disposition
.
For
golde
and
siluer
are
knowen
by
their
weight
and
goodnesse
:
The
flower
by
the
smell
:
The
horse
by
his
pace
,
and
euery
other
thyng
is
tried
and
made
of
for
his
vallue
.
And
must
the
merites
of
men
be
subiect
to
happe
,
where
men
doe
helpe
men
,
and
are
the
iudgers
of
mannes
doynges
:
that
cace
is
to
cruell
,
and
that
hap
is
accursed
gotten
by
suche
blindnesse
,
and
purchased
by
suche
parcialitie
.
In
Rome
where
noble
myndes
were
marueilouslie
extolled
,
yet
when
diuers
menne
came
to
bee
prefarred
:
euery
Senator
a
part
had
so
many
followers
,
that
one
would
hinder
an
other
:
And
looke
who
the
beste
people
fauoured
,
the
worste
sorte
would
hate
.
And
looke
who
followed
Pompey
,
was
misliked
of
Iulius
Caesar
,
and
so
by
this
faccious
dealyng
many
greate
Soldiours
,
Eloquente
Orratours
,
and
noble
members
of
the
Common
weale
,
were
putte
of
from
poste
to
piller
.
And
fewe
that
were
worthie
of
cherishyng
,
founde
good
chaunce
,
or
possessed
any
part
of
the
happe
,
that
thei
iustly
might
claime
:
by
whiche
frowardnesse
and
miserie
of
the
tyme
,
is
plainly
to
bee
proued
,
that
there
is
no
hap
certaine
.
For
manne
hym self
is
the
maker
of
happe
,
and
the
marrer
thereof
:
euen
as
his
luste
is
to
like
,
or
his
harte
is
bente
to
lothe
.
For
happe
could
dooe
nothyng
at
all
emong
them
,
their
affections
were
so
farre
a
sonder
,
and
thei
haled
suche
seuerall
waies
,
that
their
followers
were
lefte
in
the
lashe
,
or
failed
of
their
footyng
.
Then
speake
not
of
happ
,
for
God
and
good
men
are
the
distributars
of
desired
Fortune
,
and
the
onely
causers
of
that
whiche
betideth
,
and
muste
fall
of
necessitie
on
some
mennes
Shulders
,
as
in
the
booke
of
Boetius
de
consolatione
,
is
manifestly
to
bee
tried
.
Now
leaue
of
hearyng
of
happe
,
and
note
how
nobly
the
Romains
vsed
their
Soldiours
,
namely
those
that
at
any
tyme
had
succoured
a
Citizen
of
Rome
:
and
taken
hym
out
of
the
handes
of
his
enemies
.
For
suche
Soldiours
as
had
doen
that
seruice
,
was
crouned
with
a
garlande
or
hat
,
made
of
the
leaues
of
Trees
,
as
I
finde
written
in
Plinie
the
xvj
.
booke
the
fowerth
Chapiter
,
the
cheefest
whereof
that
serueth
for
my
purpose
,
I
haue
translated
out
of
Frenche
.
Plinie
bryngyng
many
greate
aucthours
to
affirme
his
saiyng
the
matter
followes
.
The
greatest
honour
that
could
be
dooen
to
a
Soldioure
,
was
to
Croune
hym
with
a
Croune
called
Ciuiques
,
and
likewise
of
longe
tyme
this
Croune
Ciuiques
was
due
vnto
Emperours
,
in
signe
of
clemencie
.
For
since
the
ciuill
warres
had
harmed
the
Rnmains
,
it
was
thought
a
singular
good
deede
,
to
let
a
citezen
liue
in
reste
and
peace
.
Likewise
there
was
no
Croune
compared
to
that
Croune
:
For
those
that
were
giuen
to
that
Soldioure
,
that
was
firste
at
the
breache
,
or
firste
on
the
walles
,
or
rampars
of
the
enemies
,
was
not
so
honourable
,
no
,
although
thei
were
of
golde
,
and
thereby
were
more
riche
.
We
haue
seen
saieth
Plinie
in
our
tyme
,
twoo
greate
triumphes
for
the
Sea
seruice
,
the
one
was
of
Marcus
Varro
,
(
the
whiche
Pompey
did
croune
,
for
hauyng
defeatted
the
Pirates
,
and
makyng
the
Sea
cleare
of
Theeues
)
the
seconde
was
of
Marcus
Agrippa
,
whiche
Caesar
did
likewise
Croune
,
for
hauyng
defeatted
the
Siciliens
,
and
purged
the
Sea
in
like
sort
of
Brigandes
and
Robbers
.
At
the
first
foundation
of
Rome
,
Romulus
did
Croune
Hostus
Hostilius
with
a
garland
of
leaues
:
because
he
was
the
first
on
the
walles
,
at
the
takyng
of
Fidena
.
Now
before
a
Burgoies
should
at
any
tyme
enioye
this
Croune
Ciuique
,
he
must
rescue
a
Romaine
Citezein
,
and
kill
the
enemie
that
led
the
citezen
awaie
prisoner
.
It
must
be
likewise
that
the
enemie
did
hold
and
possesse
the
place
,
that
same
daie
that
the
Romaine
Citezen
was
rescued
in
.
It
is
necessarie
that
the
manne
whiche
hath
been
succoured
,
should
confesse
the
same
before
the
people
:
For
a
Soldioures
owne
witnesse
in
that
behalfe
,
serues
to
no
purpose
.
And
furthermore
it
is
required
,
that
he
whiche
was
rescued
,
be
knowen
to
be
a
Burgois
of
Rome
.
For
if
one
dooe
rescue
a
Kyng
,
that
commeth
to
serue
the
Romains
,
he
dooeth
not
merite
for
the
same
the
Croune
Ciuique
.
In
like
sort
,
if
one
doe
rescue
a
generall
of
an
armie
,
he
gettes
no
more
honor
therefore
,
then
though
he
had
rescued
a
simple
Citezen
.
For
thei
whiche
established
this
ordinaunce
had
no
regard
,
but
to
the
conseruation
of
the
Citezens
of
Rome
,
who
so
euer
thei
were
.
The
Priuilege
of
this
Croune
shall
be
to
giue
power
,
to
weare
a
Hatte
of
broad
leaues
,
as
ofte
as
he
pleased
that
had
been
once
Crouned
for
his
well
dooyng
.
Further
all
the
Senate
had
a
custome
,
to
rise
out
of
their
places
,
and
to
doe
honour
to
them
that
haue
had
this
croune
,
when
thei
goe
to
see
the
common
plaies
and
pastymes
.
And
it
is
sufferable
and
permitted
,
that
thei
shall
sitte
in
a
seate
neere
the
Senatours
.
And
thei
shal
be
exempt
from
all
Ciuill
charges
,
not
onely
theim selues
,
but
their
naturall
Fathers
and
Graundfathers
:
and
now
beholde
touchyng
their
Priuileges
,
there
was
one
Cicinius
Dentatus
,
accordyng
as
wee
haue
saied
,
Crouned
fowerteene
tymes
.
And
one
Capitolinus
had
sixe
tymes
been
Crouned
,
for
he
rescued
Seruilius
,
then
generall
of
the
armie
:
not
withstandyng
Scipio
Affrican
would
not
suffer
them
to
giue
hym
the
croune
Ciuique
,
for
succouryng
his
Father
in
the
iourney
of
Trebia
.
O
ordinaunce
worthie
of
immortalitie
(
saieth
Plinie
)
that
assigneth
no
other
praise
for
suche
greate
workes
,
then
this
greate
honor
,
whiche
surpasseth
all
other
warlike
crounes
.
This
farre
goes
the
verie
woordes
of
Plinie
,
and
many
(
other
auncient
aucthors
that
I
could
rehearse
)
in
the
commendation
of
menne
of
warre
,
whiche
neither
in
Tholomeus
tyme
:
Artaxerses
daies
:
nor
any
of
the
mightie
Monarkes
long
raignyng
before
,
could
bee
forgotten
,
but
were
so
honoured
,
that
lawes
and
orders
was
onely
deuised
,
for
the
enlargyng
of
their
lande
,
and
stirryng
vp
their
noble
myndes
.
Yea
,
Soldiours
and
Herrauldes
had
power
to
denounce
warres
,
in
so
muche
as
the
aunciente
Romains
:
who
were
the
Fathers
of
all
Marshall
affaires
,
and
conquerours
of
the
worlde
,
helde
this
for
a
moste
certaine
rule
.
Nullum
bellum
iustum
esse
nisi
pro
rebus
iniuste
ablatis
&
quod
fecialis
Romani
antea
denunciabant
.
Whiche
rule
and
order
of
the
Romains
,
for
the
power
and
honour
of
soldiours
and
Herrauldes
:
declareth
thei
are
of
greate
dignitie
and
callyng
,
and
maie
compare
by
this
their
authoritie
,
to
be
no
whit
inferiour
to
the
beste
sorte
of
gentlemen
.
You
maie
reade
in
like
maner
,
that
there
was
a
manne
emong
the
Romains
,
that
merrelie
,
or
paraduenture
in
contempte
,
putte
a
Croune
Cinique
vppon
his
owne
hedde
:
and
loking
out
at
a
greate
windowe
into
the
streate
,
was
espied
,
And
thervpon
apprehended
,
and
brought
before
the
Senate
:
where
he
was
iudged
presently
to
bee
putte
to
death
,
for
touchyng
and
abusyng
that
Croune
Ciuique
.
Whiche
was
ordained
for
the
wearyng
onely
of
an
honourable
Soldiour
,
and
for
suche
a
one
as
had
been
by
deserte
,
Crouned
with
triumphe
and
solempnitie
in
open
audience
.
So
this
foolishe
manne
(
albeit
he
might
meane
but
little
harme
)
was
had
to
the
place
of
execution
,
and
there
loste
his
life
,
to
the
greate
terrour
of
those
that
rashely
meddle
with
thynges
,
that
becomes
theim
not
:
and
to
the
greate
honour
of
those
that
are
aduaunced
by
vertue
,
and
winneth
with
courage
,
the
wearyng
of
this
Croune
called
the
Croune
Ciuique
.
Nowe
commyng
doune
to
this
presente
age
,
in
the
tyme
of
our
peace
,
where
Soldioures
haue
nothyng
to
dooe
,
there
is
enough
spoken
(
and
peraduenture
to
muche
)
for
the
Soldiours
commendation
,
yet
let
me
leade
you
a
little
further
in
that
cace
.
For
now
is
to
bee
proued
what
degrees
of
Soldious
(
hauyng
serued
long
,
or
borne
any
office
of
credite
)
are
gentilmen
,
and
maie
vnrebukeable
be
bolde
,
to
take
that
name
and
title
vpon
them
.
First
you
haue
heard
,
that
seruyng
tenne
yeres
honestly
and
truely
,
he
is
not
onely
paste
his
prentishippe
,
but
also
aboue
a
iourney
manne
,
and
ought
from
all
iourneis
to
bee
spared
.
As
a
man
might
saie
,
(
though
vnproperly
compared
)
a
good
free
horse
after
his
long
labour
,
and
many
greate
iourneies
is
to
bee
ridden
but
seldome
,
and
kepte
in
the
stable
till
extreme
necessitie
requireth
:
and
then
is
to
bee
vsed
gentillie
,
least
his
stiffe
limmes
and
old
bodie
deceiue
the
riders
expectation
.
So
a
soldiour
commyng
to
this
age
and
perfection
,
or
beyng
paste
the
iollitie
of
youth
and
youthfull
actions
:
ought
to
be
prouided
for
,
and
maie
without
presumption
pleade
for
armes
,
albeeit
he
neuer
gaue
none
before
,
and
can
bryng
no
greate
proofe
of
his
house
,
gentrie
,
or
dissent
,
and
though
he
be
the
first
of
that
house
,
stocke
,
and
name
that
gaue
Armes
:
his
beginnyng
is
allowed
of
all
our
aunciente
writers
and
Princes
,
and
shall
put
his
aduersaries
to
silence
,
when
in
that
poinct
thei
seeke
to
deface
hym
.
I
remember
once
I
sawe
and
heard
an
Italian
(
vceyng
in
the
Emperour
Charles
the
fifth
his
Campe
)
so
stande
on
his
reputation
,
that
when
a
meane
Gentleman
quarrelled
with
hym
,
and
desired
the
Combate
,
he
aunswered
he
had
been
(
Soldado
Vetche
)
an
old
Soldiour
,
and
had
borne
office
,
and
passed
through
sondrie
offices
by
order
:
and
that
the
gentleman
was
but
a
yong
man
,
and
but
of
twoo
yeres
experience
in
warre
,
and
farre
vnmeete
to
make
challenge
with
hym
,
that
had
passed
so
many
steppes
of
honour
,
and
places
of
credite
.
But
saied
the
Italian
to
his
aduersarie
,
goe
and
dooe
that
I
haue
dooen
,
or
passe
through
the
like
,
and
when
thou
haste
mounted
vp
,
and
troden
on
euery
steppe
that
I
haue
passed
:
come
to
me
and
I
will
fight
with
thee
the
combate
.
But
to
saie
I
will
stoupe
so
lowe
,
and
base
my self
(
as
a
Lorde
maie
in
fightyng
with
a
Ruffian
)
beyond
the
compasse
of
my
callyng
,
I
will
not
,
nor
no
Lawe
of
Armes
can
commaunde
me
.
The
matter
came
in
question
before
the
Prince
of
Orrange
that
now
is
,
and
the
Duke
of
Sauoye
yet
liuyng
,
and
the
challenger
had
a
foule
disgrace
in
the
audience
of
a
multitude
:
and
the
defendaunte
had
a
rewarde
of
fiue
hundreth
Crounes
allowed
hym
by
the
Emperour
,
for
preseruyng
his
honour
and
estimation
so
muche
.
This
was
doen
and
openly
seen
,
a
little
before
the
siege
of
Renttie
,
and
standeth
for
a
good
recorde
.
Then
an
old
Soldiour
is
a
gentleman
,
bothe
worthie
to
giue
armes
and
collours
,
and
mete
to
be
borne
withall
in
causes
of
quarrell
.
An other
proofe
for
the
maintenaunce
of
my
matter
,
I
sawe
at
the
siege
of
Leeth
,
a
gentlemant
of
greate
courage
and
birthe
(
called
maister
Ihon
Soutch
)
quarrell
with
Capitaine
Randall
,
then
Maiour
of
the
feelde
.
And
maister
Soutche
did
vrge
through
ill
woordes
and
stoute
language
,
Capitaine
Randall
verie
farre
:
whiche
might
haue
moued
any
man
liuyng
.
But
Capitaine
Randall
,
in
a
maner
vsed
those
woordes
that
the
Italian
had
dooen
,
before
expressed
:
and
goyng
further
on
in
communication
,
commaunded
the
Soldiours
to
laye
handes
on
maister
Soutch
,
and
swore
he
would
execute
hym
,
and
learne
all
other
by
his
boldnesse
,
to
knowe
their
dueties
.
And
when
maister
Soutch
was
staied
,
well
qd
Capitaine
Randall
since
thou
haste
challenged
me
,
I
will
not
vse
my
power
and
aucthoritie
ouer
thee
:
But
by
the
faithe
of
a
Soldiour
,
when
I
am
out
of
the
Sergeaunte
Maiors
roume
I
will
meete
thee
,
and
make
thy
harte
ake
for
those
woordes
thou
haste
giuen
:
excepte
thou
repente
before
of
thy
lewde
demenour
.
Maister
Soutche
hauyng
disgested
,
and
wisely
waighed
this
matter
:
beeyng
talked
with
all
of
the
Capitaines
in
the
Campe
,
came
like
a
gentteman
on
himself
,
and
acknowledged
his
fault
moste
duetifully
,
and
with
greate
repentaunce
:
for
whiche
submission
of
his
,
he
was
the
better
thoughe
on
after
.
This
shewes
and
declares
,
that
an
aunciente
Soldiour
and
Officer
hath
a
greate
Priuilege
,
and
maie
not
bee
compared
with
,
nor
offered
any
iniurie
:
because
he
carries
the
admiration
of
the
people
,
and
the
honour
of
the
feelde
.
Ye
shall
finde
written
in
Spanishe
,
and
the
language
of
the
Portugall
(
whiche
Portugailes
founde
out
the
Easte
Indians
)
that
there
was
a
mightie
Kyng
of
Calicute
,
and
many
other
Kynges
in
the
Indians
,
whose
Soldiours
were
all
Gentlemen
,
and
did
liue
euer
on
the
stipende
that
the
Kyng
allowed
theim
.
And
those
Soldiours
had
many
Priuileges
,
and
titles
of
honour
,
and
stoode
so
muche
on
their
reputation
:
that
thei
would
not
touche
a
housbande
mannes
handes
,
nor
suffer
a
Rusticall
fellowe
to
come
into
their
houses
.
And
the
housbande
men
were
bounde
when
the
Soldiours
goe
in
the
streates
,
to
crie
with
a
loude
voice
,
to
make
place
for
the
Soldiours
.
For
if
those
gentlemen
did
come
,
and
bidde
the
common
people
goe
out
of
the
waie
,
and
thei
doe
not
obaye
their
commaundement
therein
:
it
was
sufferable
for
the
gentlemen
Soldiours
,
to
kill
those
obstinate
and
proude
people
.
And
furthermore
,
the
Kyng
could
not
make
Gentlemen
:
if
thei
were
not
borne
of
some
noble
stocke
,
of
the
race
of
Soldiours
.
Thei
could
not
take
their
weapons
,
nor
enter
into
any
Combate
,
before
thei
were
armed
Knightes
.
Thei
must
at
the
age
of
seuen
yeres
,
bee
putte
to
learne
to
plaie
with
all
weapons
,
and
to
the
ende
thei
should
bee
perfecte
,
their
maisters
doe
hale
their
armes
very
farre
out
(
thereby
to
stretch
their
limmes
)
and
afterward
thei
teache
theim
suche
fence
,
as
is
apte
for
that
purpose
.
Thei
did
by
an
ordinaunce
and
custome
of
theirs
,
honour
and
salute
their
Maisters
that
had
taught
theim
at
the
weapons
,
(
whiche
were
Graduates
and
cunnyng
menne
)
where
soeuer
thei
met
them
in
the
streate
.
Thei
were
bounde
twoo
Monethes
in
the
yere
to
plie
their
schole
,
and
take
a
lesson
at
their
Maisters
handes
.
By
whiche
reason
thei
were
verie
skilfull
of
their
weapons
,
and
for
that
cause
thei
greatly
esteemed
theim selues
.
Thei
could
not
bee
Knighted
,
but
by
the
Kynges
owne
handes
,
who
asked
them
before
he
laied
his
hande
on
their
heddes
:
if
thei
could
obserue
and
keepe
the
custome
,
and
ordinance
of
gentlemen
Soldiours
,
and
thei
saied
,
and
aunswered
the
Kyng
.
Thei
minded
to
take
that
profession
of
armes
vpon
them
:
and
so
the
Kyng
caused
a
sworde
to
bee
girded
about
them
,
and
after
embraceth
those
gentlemen
so
Knighted
,
then
thei
did
sweare
to
liue
and
dye
with
hym
,
and
for
hym
,
whiche
othe
thei
well
keepe
and
obserue
.
For
if
their
Lorde
were
slaine
in
the
warre
:
thei
would
feight
to
their
laste
breathe
,
and
kill
hym
that
had
slaine
their
Kyng
.
Or
if
at
that
instaunte
thei
could
not
bryng
their
purpose
to
effecte
,
thei
would
watche
and
spie
out
a
conuenient
season
,
for
the
performaunce
of
their
promesse
and
othe
.
And
vndoubtedly
some
of
them
would
reuenge
their
Maisters
death
.
Thei
had
a
greate
regard
to
their
duetie
and
endeuoure
.
Thei
thought
nothyng
so
precious
as
fidelitie
,
and
their
Princes
fauour
.
Thei
cared
not
for
life
:
so
glorie
might
be
gotten
by
their
death
.
Thei
serued
moste
faithfully
vnder
them
,
that
gaue
them
entertainemente
.
Thei
spared
nothyng
,
but
spente
liberally
.
Thei
applied
their
onely
studies
,
for
the
mainteinaunce
of
their
Kyng
and
Countrey
.
Thei
would
not
suffer
any
dishonoure
,
nor
offer
any
iniurie
.
Thei
thought
it
a
double
death
,
to
lose
their
good
name
.
Thei
made
no
accompt
of
their
meate
,
money
,
sleape
,
or
ease
:
and
little
esteemed
their
owne
liues
or
persones
,
when
thei
should
make
proofe
and
shewe
of
their
manhoode
.
Their
wages
and
stipende
was
so
muche
and
so
wel
paied
,
that
euery
one
of
theim
might
liue
gallantly
:
and
the
meanest
might
keepe
to
waite
on
hym
,
a
man
or
a
boye
.
The
lawe
was
that
thei
might
not
Marrie
,
and
yet
had
lemmans
and
women
appoincted
by
order
,
whiche
thei
kept
and
vsed
well
,
and
all
quarrelles
was
auoided
by
that
meanes
.
For
thei
might
not
companie
with
their
women
,
but
at
certaine
seasons
appointed
.
Thus
thei
past
ouer
their
life
tyme
,
without
the
care
and
trouble
of
wife
and
children
.
Thei
might
forsake
vpon
a
good
cause
,
any
of
their
Lemmans
.
And
their
women
might
at
their
owne
willes
forsake
the
menne
.
All
those
that
accompanied
these
Soldiours
were
gentlewomen
,
and
of
good
birth
,
but
might
not
be
married
to
any
persone
after
she
had
been
at
the
Soldiours
commaundemente
.
And
because
many
men
by
their
often
chaungyng
,
happen
to
haue
the
companie
of
one
woman
,
thei
fathered
not
any
childe
,
though
it
were
neuer
so
muche
like
them
:
and
therefore
their
brothers
children
,
did
alwaies
enherite
their
landes
and
goodes
.
And
this
lawe
that
those
gentlemen
Soldiours
should
not
marrie
,
was
made
by
a
king
,
that
would
not
haue
a
man
of
warre
,
to
fixe
his
loue
on
a
wife
and
children
,
nor
thereby
to
waxe
feeble
Spirited
and
effeminate
.
But
the
Kyng
ordained
,
because
these
gentlemen
,
should
haue
no
womannishe
manners
nor
myndes
:
that
thei
should
haue
all
thynges
at
their
willes
,
and
liue
in
suche
libertie
,
as
no
one
thyng
might
drawe
them
from
noble
seruice
,
nor
commaunde
them
to
seruile
drudgerie
.
And
because
thei
should
bee
the
more
animated
to
liue
in
noble
order
,
and
encouraged
to
serue
well
:
thei
were
Priuileged
,
that
no
man
might
emprison
them
for
any
cause
,
nor
thei
might
not
bee
put
to
death
by
any
meane
of
ordinarie
Iustice
.
Howbeeit
when
one
had
killed
an
other
,
or
did
slepe
with
a
Countrey
woman
,
or
did
speake
euill
of
the
Kyng
then
raignyng
.
Then
would
the
Kyng
hauyng
true
and
iust
information
of
the
matter
,
make
a
writyng
,
and
sende
the
same
to
a
hedde
officer
,
commaundyng
hym
to
cutte
in
peeces
the
offendour
,
where
soeuer
he
was
founde
.
And
after
he
was
dedde
,
there
should
bee
hanged
aboute
hym
the
Kynges
writyng
,
to
shewe
the
people
wherefore
he
suffered
:
but
no
Lawe
nor
iustice
could
touche
hym
,
before
the
Kyng
had
iustly
condempned
hym
.
So
by
this
libertie
and
honour
that
Soldiours
had
,
is
well
to
be
seen
,
that
none
but
Caesar
might
meddle
with
men
of
warre
.
And
it
seemeth
this
libertie
was
fetched
from
Alexanders
daies
,
who
called
his
olde
Soldiours
noble
men
,
and
gaue
them
noble
Priuileges
and
rewardes
:
to
cause
the
worlde
that
did
followe
,
to
augmente
their
renowme
,
and
spread
their
fame
to
the
highest
heauens
,
that
haue
been
valliant
on
yearth
,
and
noble
of
mynde
.
Whiche
greate
forsight
of
Alexander
,
and
other
greate
Princes
to
aduaunce
Soldiours
:
hath
made
menne
more
like
Godses
,
then
yearthly
creatures
,
and
dooen
suche
good
to
the
worlde
thereby
,
that
there
is
no
worlde
,
but
will
make
of
menne
of
warre
,
and
giue
place
to
the
goodnesse
of
those
,
that
striue
by
stoutnesse
of
harte
,
and
labour
of
bodie
,
to
enlarge
the
limites
and
boundes
of
his
countrey
.
The
effecte
of
this
aboue
expressed
,
was
drawen
out
of
Spanishe
,
and
remaines
emong
Christians
,
as
a
matter
worthie
notyng
,
though
Infidelles
did
obserue
them
.
Now
though
a
man
haue
had
charge
,
and
borne
a
nomber
of
offices
:
yet
the
name
of
an
old
Soldiour
beautifies
his
title
.
But
yet
particularly
I
will
goe
through
the
offices
,
as
breefly
as
I
maie
,
and
therein
shewe
who
maie
iustly
be
called
gentlemen
emong
theim
.
A
Collonell
,
a
Capitaine
,
and
Ensigne
bearer
.
A
Lieutenaunt
,
a
Corporall
,
a
Sergeante
of
the
bande
,
and
an
olde
Soldiour
though
he
neuer
bare
any
office
,
are
all
gentlemen
,
grantyng
and
allowyng
that
none
of
the
Officers
,
were
made
for
affection
at
home
.
But
had
their
beginnyng
by
seruice
in
the
feelde
,
and
are
knowen
of
good
courage
and
conducte
,
and
well
experimented
in
Marshall
affaires
.
The
rest
of
other
officers
,
that
haue
noble
roumes
and
places
in
the
Campe
,
needes
no
settyng
out
:
for
all
menne
knowe
suche
officers
as
are
chosen
,
(
and
made
by
the
moste
noble
in
any
gouernement
)
are
not
to
be
treated
of
,
for
that
euery
Soldiour
giues
them
their
due
honour
and
place
.
You
maie
not
looke
for
at
my
handes
,
the
originall
and
discourse
of
all
gentlement
,
albeeit
I
goe
as
farre
as
I
dare
in
that
behalfe
.
For
I
loue
not
to
meddle
with
thanklesse
laboure
,
and
would
bee
lothe
to
roue
beyonde
my
reache
and
knowledge
:
in
a
matter
that
my
betters
,
as
yet
haue
not
dealt
withall
.
For
a
doubtfull
attempte
,
brynges
a
daungerous
construction
:
And
with
drawyng
a
strong
Bowe
,
a
weake
arme
waxeth
wearie
.
He
offereth
hym self
to
the
hazarde
of
many
an
euill
tongue
,
that
puttes
any
penne
to
the
paper
,
in
a
talkatiue
worlde
:
whiche
shootes
priuie
boltes
at
euery
open
Marke
,
or
plaine
meanyng
mynde
.
And
commonlie
those
that
leaste
good
can
dooe
(
rather
then
beeidell
)
will
woorke
moste
harme
,
with
findyng
of
a
faulte
,
and
forgyng
an
offence
,
rather
committed
of
ignoraunce
,
then
penned
of
a
sett
purpose
.
When
a
companie
of
passengers
commes
to
a
foorde
,
when
the
water
is
frosen
all
ouer
:
if
a
bolde
spirite
to
make
the
passage
free
,
breake
awaie
the
Ise
,
and
so
slippeth
in
the
water
,
his
fellowes
will
but
mocke
hym
,
and
leaue
hym
ouer
the
shooes
:
and
yet
the
issue
muste
bee
broken
,
or
passage
is
denied
.
It
were
therefore
conueniente
,
that
euery
Iack
scorner
should
make
his
owne
waie
,
or
when
he
would
feede
,
should
cracke
his
owne
Nutte
.
If
suche
as
aduenture
a
daunger
,
bee
daungerouslie
dealte
with
,
bidde
thee
blunte
hedded
babler
learne
more
cunnyng
,
or
fall
in
the
hazarde
.
With
lookyng
on
a
booke
that
pleased
me
well
,
I
haue
lighted
but
a
candell
,
and
now
if
any
haue
a
torche
that
can
giue
greater
light
,
bryng
it
to
the
vewe
,
and
I
will
honour
it
with
verses
.
My
blase
is
but
a
Bonfire
to
call
out
the
neighbours
:
but
suche
as
come
with
garlandes
,
shal
bee
welcomed
with
a
thousande
salutations
,
and
bee
called
to
the
familie
of
Fame
.
Where
all
studious
and
painfull
honest
writers
are
regestered
,
and
remaine
with
immortall
remembraunce
.
So
now
beyng
finished
my
opinion
,
and
woorke
of
the
matters
of
warre
,
(
sauyng
a
matter
meete
the
notyng
for
Irishe
affaires
and
gouernemente
,
and
Flaunders
trouble
)
there
followes
a
sillie
treatise
of
Callamitie
,
whiche
shortly
seemes
to
proue
that
affliction
makes
men
happie
,
and
prosperitie
neither
brynges
forthe
any
good
fruit
,
nor
is
a
readie
meane
to
shewe
a
sounde
tree
,
or
a
man
voide
of
corruption
.
Thus
gentle
reader
I
adresse
thee
to
my
further
labours
,
and
readyng
of
my
discourses
.
Finis
