The Notes.
1 Some write that there were slaine in one day at Liege 100000. and Munster writeth 40000. and 12000 women drowned in the riuer, which seemeth to disagree with Com∣mines, who reporteth not aboue 200. to haue beene slaine: notwithstanding our author must heere not be vnderstood so strictlie as though there had not died aboue 200. in all, for his meaning is onely that at the entrance into the towne, there were not slayne aboue two hundred, othervvise considering the number that vvere slaine in Churches, houses, and flight it cannot be but that manie thousands died, neither is our authors meaning othervvise.
