bles tograunt him so much,that hee 
might -be eftsoons layde on the 
ground as before, and the esquier to 
be laid aloft upon him, for the knight 
perceived that the esquier through 
excessive heat, and the weight of 
his armor, did marvellously faint, 
so as his spirits were in maner taken ° 
from him. The king and the nobles 
perceyving the knight so courage- 
ously to demand to trie the battel 
forth to the utterance, offring great 
summes of money, that so it might 
be done, gpcreed that they should 
be restored again to the same plight 
in which they lay when they were 
raised up: but in the mean time 
the esquier fainting, and falling down 
in a swoone, fel out of his chaire as 
one that was like to yield up his last 
breth presently among them. Those 
that stood about him cast wine and 
water upon him, seeking so to bring 
him againe, but all would not serve, 
till they had plucked off his armor, 
and his whole apparel, which thing 
proved the knight to be vanquisher, 
and the esquier to be vanquished. 
After a little time the esquier be- 
gan to come to himself, and lifting 
up his eves, began to holde up his 
hed, and to cast a gastly looke on 
eyery one about him: which when 
‘yt was reported to the knight, he 
eommeth to him armed as he was 
(for he had put off no peece since 
the beginning of the’ fight) and 
speaking to him, called him traitor, 
and false perjured man, asking him 
if he durst trie the battel with him 
againe : but the esquier having nei- 
ther sense nor spirite whereby to 
make answere, proclamation was 
made that the battell was ended, 
and every one might go to his lodg- 
ing.

The esquier immediately after he 
was brought to his lodging, and 
layde in bed, beganne to wax rag- 
ing woode, and so continuing still 
out of hys wittes, about nine of the 
clocke the next day he yeelded up 
the ghost. 
This combate was fought (as be- 
fore ye have heard) the vith of 
June, to the great reioysing of the 
common people and discoragement 
of traytours.
