IN these sayd thre dayes ther were noble men on bothe parties / that treatid for a peace to be had bytwe¦ne these two kynges: and their tre¦atie toke suche essect / that a trewse was agreed to endure two yere / so that the fren¦che kynge wolde therto agree. For the kyng of scottes was so sore alyed to the frenche kyng / y^• he might take no peace without his cōsent: and it so be the frenche kyng wolde nat agree to the peace / than the truse to endure to the first day of May folowyng. And it was agreed that therle of Morette shulde be quyte for his prisonment if the kyng of scottes coude do somoche to pur∣chase with the frenche kyng / that therle of Sa∣lisbury might in lyke maner be quyte out of pri¦son / the whiche thyng shulde be done before the feest of saynt John̄ of Baptyst next after. The kyng of Englande agreed y^• soner to this truse / bycause he had warre in France / in Gascoyne / in Poycton / in Xaynton / in Bretaygne / and in euery place he had men of warre at his wages: than the kyng of scottes sent great messangers to the french kyng to agre to this truse. The frē¦che kyng was cōtent: seyng it was the desyre of the kyng of scott{is} / thā therle of Salisbuey was sent into Englande / and the kyng of England sent incōtynent therle Moret into Scotland.
