state To Clemencie he was much enclined especially in matters of blood and most especially if it were for Religion a vertue so much the more esteemed by how much it had beene lesse vsed before insomuch that albeit hee was most earnestly affected to that religion wherein hee had beene brought vp yet none were executed in his time for other religion but only two blasphemous Heretickes Ioane Butcher and George a Dutchman And when Ioane Butcher was to be burned all the counsaile could not procure him to set his hand to the warrant Wherefore they employed Thomas Cranmer Archbishop of Canterbury to deale privatly with him for his subscription But the King remained firme both in reason and resolution affirming that he would not driue her headlong to the Divell but because Heretickes for the most part haue a straine of madnesse he thought it best to apply her with some corporall chastisem●…nts which with respit of time might happely reduce her to good order The Archbishop was violent both by perswasions and entreaties and when with meere importunity he had prevailed The King in subscribing his name said that he would lay all the charge thereof vpon the Archbishop before God Not many yeares passed but this Archbishop also felt the smart of the fire and it may be that by his importunity for bloud hee did offend for a good thing is not good if it be immoderatelie desired or done His courage did appeare in the great delight he tooke in representations of Battailes Skirmishes Assaults and of all kinde of military exercises his iudgment was great either for errors or fine contriuances in the field And no actions of Armes were executed in his time but he would perfectly vnderstand by what aduantages on the one side or ouersights on the other the euent succeeded He tooke great pleasure in exercises of actiuity whereto he much trained his servants And to that end he often appointed challenges among them for wrestling leaping running riding shooting at roues and at rounds and such like games and at riding and shooting would sometimes be of one of the sides He had 100 archers of his ordinary guard who once mustering before him shot two arrowes euery man together against an inch board of well seasoned timber All stroke through the board and their arrowes stucke in another board behinde and divers pierced both the boards generally none might be of his guard but besides of tall and comely stature such as were either good archers or wrastlers or easters of the barre or leapers or runners or of some other man-like qualitie He was exceeding skilfull in fortifications and bestowed great cost in strengthening Calleis Berwicke and other parts thereabout He knew all the principall ports in England Scotland Ireland France and other countries not farre distant how they ●…ay when the tyde served what vessels of burthen they could receiue and what windes served for entrance Touching his care and knowledge in affaires of state nothing was more conspicuous in him He was much conversant amongst his counsaile and would well vnderstand what matters passed their iudgments and vpon what grounds In matters discoursed by them he would often encounter their reasons and adde most liuely reasons of his owne In so much that at last they made an order that no matters of weight should be debated vnlesse he were present Admirable he was to collect the speeches and opinions of many and to draw their differences to a true head alwaies bending himselfe rather iudiciously to resolue then by doubts and distinctions to perplex a businesse he had a chest whereof he alwaies carryed the key about him for keeping record of such matters as were concluded by his counsaile And embracing businesse for part of his solace hee appointed set times with Doctor Coxe Master of his Requests for speeding poore mens causes without tedious attendance or delay Of all the Magistrates Iustices and Gentlemen of sort within his realme he 〈◊〉 their names their housekeeping their religion and manner of life Hee was skilfull in the exchange beyond the seas and in all the circumstances and practises thereof And so was he both skilfull and provident in matters of the Mint at home To Embassadors hee would giue answere vpon the suddaine and touch both orderly and fully vpon every part of their orations to the delight and admiration of all the hearers He much frequented sermons and penned notes with his owne hand his notes hee ●…yphered with greeke characters to the end that they who waited on him should not read them His disports were ingenuous and man-like whereby he alwaies learned somewhat And yet as well from these as from his businesses of state he dayly reserved some houres for his private studies and exercises with his Teachers These endeavours fell vpon so excellent a capacitie that in every short distance of time he made incredible increase both in learning and experience of affaires and consequentlie in loue of all men Presently after that he was setled in his governement D ● Wotton the kings Embassador resident with the Queene Dowager of Hungarie regent of the Low Countries vnder the Emperor was discharged of that attendance and addressed to the Emperors court there to reside Embassador for the king insteed of Doctor Bonner Bishop of London and of Sir Francis Bryan who were called home He was furnished with instructions that being first informed from the former Embassadors as wel of the general state of the Emperours court as of such particuler intelligēces as might serue to advāce the kings intentiōs he should deale with the Emperor to declare al Scots for his enemies except such as should be friends to the King which should appeare by his safe conduct That because it had bin agreed betweene the Emperor and the late K. of England that the yeare next ensuing they should withioyne forces inuade the Territories of the French King he should moue the Emperor to aduise of some order and forme for those proceedings That whereas the Duke of Lorraine had bin late before at the Emperors court and made 〈◊〉 ouerture for peace or truce betweene the Emperour and the French King he should be informed by Sr Francis Bryan of the whole estate of that businesse and awaite opportunity to put the Emperor in remembrance that it had beene couenanted betweene him and the King of England that neither of them should treat of peace or truce with the French King or any other common enimy without consent of the other and that the King of England had well obserued that article in refusing to giue eare to the French embassador making overture for such a treatise That whereas it had beene agreed betweene him and the King of England that either of them should send certaine ships to sea well manned and apparelled for fight which all that yeere had beene performed by the king whereas the Emperour shifted the default vpon his officers in case he should not cause the said Navy to be forthwith

expecting vntill the enemy should more neerely approach The generall after he had ordered his Battaile parte vpon the hill and parte vpon the plaine somewhat distant from the Avantguard on the right side mounted the hill to the great artillerie to take a view of both the Armies and to giue directions as occasions should change The Arrier stood wide of the battaile vpon the same side but altogether vpon the plaine The L. Gray Captaine of the men at Armes was appointed to stand somewhat distant from the Avantguard on the left side in such sort as he might take the flanke of the enimie but was forbidden to charge vntill the foot of the Avantguard were buckled with them in front and vntill the battaile should be neere enough for his reliefe Now after that the Scots were well advaunced in the field marching more then an ordinary pace the great shot from the English ships and especially from the galley began furiously to scoure among them whereby the M●… of Grime and diuers others about were torne in peices especially the wing of the Irish was so grievously either galled or fearred there with that being strangers and in a manner neutralls they had neither good heart to goe forward nor good likeing to stand still nor good assurance to run away The Lord Gray perceiued this amazement and conceiued thereby occasion to be ripe wherevpon when the enimy was not about two slight shot from the English avantguard suddainly and against direction with his men at armes he charged them on head The Scots were then in a fallow field whereinto the English could not enter but ouer a crosse ditch and a slough in passing whereof many of the English horse were plunged and some mired when with some difficulty and much disorder they had passed this ditch the ridges of the fallow field lay trauerse so as the English must crosse them in presenting the charge Two other disadvantages they had the enimies pikes were longer then their staues and their horses were naked without any barbs For albeit many brought barbes out of England yet because they expected not in the morning to fight that day few regarded to put them on The Scots confident both in their number order and good appointment did not only abide the English but with some biteing termes provoked them to charge They cloased and in a manner locked themselues together shoulder to shoulder so neere as possibly they could their pikes they strained in both hands and therewith their buckler in the left the one end of the pike against the right foote the other breast high against the enimy The fore ranke stooped so low as they seemed to kneele the second ranke close at their backs crossed their pikes ouer their shoulders and so did the third and the rest in their order so as they appeared like the thornie skinne of a hedghogge and it might be thought impossible to breake them Notwithstanding the charge was giuen with so well gouerned fury that the left corner of the Scots battaillon was enforced to giue in But the Scots did so brauely recouer and acquit themselues that diverse of the English horsemen were overthrowne and the residue so disordered as they could not conueniently fight or fly and not only iustled bare downe one another but in their confused tumbling backe brake a part of the Avantguard on foote In this encounter 26 of the English were slaine most part Gentlemen of the best esteem Divers others lost their horses and carried away markes that they had beene there The L. Gray was dangerously hurt with a pike in the mouth which strucke two inches into his necke The L. Edward Seymer sonne to the L. Generall lost his horse and the English Standard was almost lost Assuredly albeit encounters betweene horsemen on the one side and foot on the other are seildome with the extremity of danger because as horsemen can hardly breake a battaile on foot so mē on foot cannot possibly chase horsemen Yet hearevpon so great was the tumult and feare a mong the English that had not the commanders bin men both of approued courag and skill or happely had the Scots bine well fonrnished with men at Armas the army had that day beene vtterly vndone For an army is commonly like a flocke of fowles when some begine to flie all will follow But the Lord Gray to repaire his error endevoured with all industrie to vallye his horse The Lord Generall also mounted on horsebacke and came amongst them both by his presence aduice to reduce thē into order Sr. Ralph Vane Sr Ralph Sadler did memorable service But espcially the Earle of Warwicke who was in greatest danger declared his resolution and judgment to bee most present in reteyning his men both in order and in heart And hauing cleered his foot from disturbance by the horsemen hee sent forth before the front of his Avantgard S r Peter Mewcas Captaine of all the Hackbutters on foot and S r Peter Gamboa a Spaniard Captaine of 200 Hackbutters Spanish and Italians on horse These brought their men to the slough mentioned before who discharging liuely almost close to the face of the enimy did much amaze them being also disordered by the late pursuit of the English horsemen and by spoiling such as they had ouerthrowne At the backes of these the Archers were placed who before had marched on the right wing of the Avantguard and then sent such showers of shot ouer the Hackbutters heads that many bodies of their enimies being but halfe armed were beaten downe and buried therewith And besides the Master of the Artillery did visit them sharply with murthering haile-shot from the peeces mounted towards the top of the hill also the Artillery which slanked the Arriere executed hotly Lastly the ships were not idle but especially the galley did play vpon them and plague them very sore The Scots being thus applied with shot and perceiuing the Avantguard of the English to be in good order neerely to approach the men at armes to haue recouered their Array turned their Avantguard somewhat towards the South to win as it was thought some advantage of ground By this meanes they fell directly on head on the English battaile wherevpon the Earle of Warwicke addressed his men to take the slanke The Avantguard of the Scots being thus vpon and beset with enimies began a little to retire towards their great battaile either to be in place to be relieued by them or happely to draw the English more separate and apart The Irish Archers espying this and surmising the danger to be greater then it was suddenly brake vp committed the saftie of their liues to their nimble footmanship After whose example all the rest threw away their weapons and in headlong hast abandoned the field not one stroke hauing beene giuen by the English on soot But then the horsemen comming furiously forward had them very cheap The slight was made three waies some running to Edenburgh some along

never entertained into any religion but presently they tooke deepe root in the hearts and consciences of the common people When Leo Isauricus surnamed Iconomadius assembled a counsell at Constantinople wherein it was decreed that Images should be cast out of Churches and burnt the West part of his Empire did therevpon first rebell afterwards revolt And yet while these proceedings were but in the bud affaires of state without the Realme were maintained in good condition of honour but seemed rather to stand at a stay then either to advance or decline In Scotland the warres were maintained by the L. Gray of Wilton Lieutenant of the North with variable successe he fortified Haddington fired Dawkeith and wonne the Castle where foureteene Scots were slaine and 300 taken prisoners hee spoiled much of the country about Edenburgh Lowthum and Meers fired Muscleborough and fortified Lowder tooke Yester at the yeelding whereof he granted life to all except to one who had vsed vild speeches against K. Edward Those speeches were commonly cast vpon one Newton but he charged them vpon one Hamilton Herevpon Hamilton challenged Newton to the combate which hee did readily accept and the L. Gray consented to the triall to this purpose Lists were erected in the market place at Haddington whereinto at the time appointed both the combatants entered apparelled only in their doublets and hoses and weapned with sword buckler and dagger At the first encounter Hamilton draue Newton almost to the end of the lists which if he had fully done he had thereby remained victorious but Newton on the suddaine gaue him such a gash on the legge that therewith he fell to the ground Newton forthwith dispatched him with his dagger certaine gentlemen then present offered to haue fought with Newton vpon the same point but this was adiudged to be against the lawes of combate wherefore Newton was not only acquited but rewarded with a chaine of gold with the gowne which the Lord Gray did then weare howbeit many were perswaded that he was saulty and happily neither of them was free but he enioyed neither his escape nor his honor long for soone after he was hewen in pieces by Hamiltons friends On the other side the Scots became before Broughticragge with 8000 men and 8 pieces of Artillerie but it was for that time well defended by the English who by often sallies enforced their enimies with losse of their Artillerio to abandon the attempt after this diverse other enterprises were made vpon that fort at the last it was taken where the Scots slue all except Sir Iohn Latterel the captaine who was taken prisoner And now Henry the 2 d of France having newly succeeded Francis the first who dyed the last of March 1547. sent Mounsieur D●…ssie his Li●…utenant into Scotland with an armie of about 10000 French Almaines who ioining with the Scots besieged Haddington and that with so good earnest as sixe pieces of artillerie discharged 340. shot in one day and in another ●…00 within 60 p●…ees of the wall they lodged so neere within the very ditches that the English 〈◊〉 divers of them with plummers of lead tyed to a trun●… or 〈◊〉 by a cord the place was but weake and the 〈◊〉 faire but the defendants by resolution supplyed all the defects making divers fallies with such liuely spirit that the Assayl●…nts were thereby discouraged from making assault The English from Barwicke with about 1500 horse did often relieue the defendants by breaking through the the middest of their enemies but at the last they were so strongly both encountred and encloased betweene the French Almaines and Scots that Sir Thomas Palmer the chiefe leader and about 400 were taken prisoners and divers slaine Herevpon the Earle of Shrewsbury was sent with an army of about 15000 men whereof 3000 were Almaines but vpon notice of his approach the French raised the field retyred so farre as Mus●…leborough there encamped attributing much honour to the English for their vasour in regard of the small strength of the place which they defended when the Earle 〈◊〉 vi●…uilled re-enforced the towne he marched 〈◊〉 ●…ard the enimies and encamped neere vnto them and first a fewe of the English horse aproached neere the army of the French who sent forth some troopes of their horse to encounter them but the English retyred vntill they had drawn the French into an ambush laid for the purpose and then charging together they had them cheap amongst which two captaines of account were taken prisoners The next day the Earle presented his army in plaine field before the enimies campe cloased in three bodies and ranged ready to abide battaile The French had newly receiued supply of 14 or 15000 Scots but yet remained within their strength holding it no wisdome to venter on men resolud to fight who being forthwith to depart the realme and could neither longe endanger nor indamage them much So the Earle after that he had remained about an hower and perceiuing that the French intended not to forsake their strength returned vnto his campe and afterwarde to England destroying Donbarr and some other which stood neere his passage the Army being dissolud and the Scots thought secure the Lord Gray with his horsemen entred Scotland did great wast in T●…uedale and Liddesdale for the space of 20 miles and returned without encounter Also a navy was apoynted to coast along with the army before mentioned This fleet coming to Brent Iland fired 4 ships then atempting vpon S. Minees were repulsed by the Lord Dun and so without either glory or gaine returned into Englande Not long after the departure of the English army M r Dassie with his French and Almaines attempted sodenly to surprise Haddington the enterprise was gouerned in so secret manner that the French had slaine the English escouts and entred the base courte and aproached the maine gates before any alarme was taken but then the Townesmen came forth many in their shirts who with the helpe of the watch susteined the assault vntill the Souldiers in better apointment came to their aide These issued into the base court through a pryuie posterne and sharpely visited the Assailants with Halbeards and swordes Here the fight grew hot the darkenes and danger terrifying some and animating others Blowes flew at all adventures woundes and deathes given and taken vnexpected many scarce knowing their enimies from their friends But shame wrought such life and courage in the English as very few of the enimies who entered the court escaped aliue leauing their fellowes bleeding in their deadly wounds yet M r Dassie not discouraged herewith gaue 3 liuely assaults more that morning but was repelled with so great losse that 16 Carts and Waggons were charged with carrying away their dead and dying bodies besides 300 left in the base court After divers like adventures the English perceiving that the towne could not bee kept without danger nor lost without dishonour The Earle of Rutland was sent
