allege_v that_o in_o the_o whole_a army_n be_v but_o three_o thousand_o swisser_n and_o that_o it_o be_v unlike_a we_o will_v send_v the_o half_a before_o with_o the_o vaward_n then_o this_o almain_n

which_o be_v the_o pleasant_a best_a and_o fruitfull_a soil_n in_o the_o world_n but_o notwithstanding_o i_o call_v it_o champagne_n yet_o be_v it_o very_o troublesome_a for_o horseman_n because_o

the_o king_n come_v down_o the_o mountain_n about_o noon_n and_o lodge_v in_o the_o village_n of_o fornove_n upon_o sunday_n be_v the_o five_o of_o july_n the_o year_n 1495._o we_o find_v in_o the_o

for_o no_o honest_a man_n do_v they_o harm_n &_o victual_v we_o with_o bread_n &_o wine_n &_o some_o fruit_n whereby_o they_o somewhat_o ease_v the_o army_n but_o their_o bread_n be_v little_a and_o

because_o we_o never_o find_v in_o all_o this_o voyage_n that_o they_o seek_v by_o poison_n to_o do_v we_o harm_n yet_o if_o they_o will_v we_o can_v hardly_o have_v avoid_v it_o we_o arrive_v at_o

that_o hardly_o can_v get_v a_o morsel_n of_o bread_n for_o there_o be_v small_a store_n of_o other_o victual_n than_o such_o as_o we_o find_v in_o the_o place_n whereof_o till_o midnight_n as_o before_o you_o have_v hear_v none_o of_o we_o dare_v taste_v immediate_o after_o dinner_n certain_a of_o their_o estradiot_n come_v and_o give_v we_o a_o hot_a alarm_n even_o within_o our_o camp_n our_o man_n be_v as_o yet_o unacquainted_a with_o they_o for_o the_o which_o cause_n all_o our_o army_n come_v forth_o into_o the_o field_n in_o very_o good_a order_n and_o in_o three_o battle_n vaward_n battle_n and_o rearward_n the_o one_o be_v not_o above_o a_o bowl_n cast_v from_o the_o other_o so_o that_o each_o of_o they_o may_v with_o speed_n have_v succour_v other_o but_o in_o the_o end_n this_o hot_a alarm_n prove_v nothing_o wherefore_o we_o return_v to_o our_o lodging_n we_o have_v a_o few_o tent_n and_o pavilion_n and_o our_o camp_n lie_v in_o length_n avaunce_v itself_o towards_o they_o beside_o that_o there_o be_v a_o wood_n through_o the_o which_o the_o enemy_n may_v come_v under_o covert_n almost_o to_o we_o 8_o by_o mean_n whereof_o twenty_o of_o their_o estradiot_n may_v easy_o give_v we_o a_o alarm_n at_o all_o time_n and_o so_o i_o warrant_v you_o they_o do_v for_o they_o lie_v continual_o at_o the_o end_n of_o our_o camp_n we_o encamp_v in_o a_o valley_n between_o two_o little_a hill_n 9_o through_o the_o which_o run_v a_o river_n that_o a_o man_n may_v easy_o pass_v over_o on_o foot_n unless_o it_o happen_v to_o arise_v as_o it_o do_v often_o upon_o the_o sudden_a in_o that_o country_n but_o the_o water_n tarry_v not_o long_o the_o river_n name_n be_v tarro_n all_o the_o say_a valley_n be_v gravel_n and_o great_a stone_n very_o

underneath_o the_o which_o we_o encamp_v there_o lie_v another_o way_n that_o we_o may_v have_v take_v yet_o will_v we_o not_o so_o do_v lest_o we_o shall_v seem_v to_o fly_v but_o encamp_v in_o the_o valley_n at_o the_o foot_n of_o the_o say_a hill_n in_o the_o face_n of_o our_o enemy_n those_o in_o our_o camp_n that_o be_v of_o the_o wise_a sort_n begin_v now_o to_o fear_n in_o such_o sort_n
