IN this yere ye Scottes entred the borders of Northumber∣lande, and robbed and brent the coū∣trey moste cruelly / in somoche y they brent the howses that women at that tyme laye in chylde bedde, and spa∣red nother man, woman, nor chylde, nother relygyous nor other / and dyd so great harme that ye countrey by it was greatly impouerysshed. To this myschefe was ioyned another myse∣ry. For as before is sayd, vytayll by reason of the morayne was so scante and dere, and whete and other gray∣nes so hyghe prysed / that poore peo∣ple ete horse flesshe & dogges flesshe, and many other vyle bestes, whiche wonder is to byleue. And yet for de∣faute dyed great multytude of peo∣ple in sundry places of the lāde. And whete was solde this yere and ye next folowynge, at Londō for .iiii. marke a quarter and aboue. And after this derthe & scaresytye of vytayle, ensu∣ed mortalytye of mē by goddes hāde and punysshment / so that what with warre of the Scottes, and for hun∣gre, and deth by mortalite and sycke∣nesse / the people of ye lande was won¦derslye wasted and perysshed. But al those monycyons amended not the kynge of his inordynate lyuynge.
