When the evening came, the enemies rested, & went about to encamp themselves, there to rest all night. Which things when the Angroignians perceived, they fell to prayer, but the enemies flouted them: then the people devised a policy, to send a drum into the valleys hard by: & as they were making their prayer unto God, & the drum sounded in the valley, the Lord of Trinity caused his soldiers, which were about to encamp themselves, to remove thence: which was a great refreshing to the poor people. Many of the enemies that day ⟨p. 498⟩were slain, & many hurt, of the which very few escaped: of the Angroignians that day were but three slain, & one hurt, who was after healed well again. The L. of Trinity, after ward, placed garrisons there, & much molested the Angroigmans: & after they had commended themselves to god by prayer, they sent unto them of Perouse, & of S. Martin, and of Pragella for aid, sent them all the help that they were able.
