1This Truchet was one of the principal authors of this war, and one of the chefest enemies of true religion, and of the poor Waldoys, that could then be found.

The minister when he saw the great effusion of blood, and the enemies to flee, he cried to the people, saying, that it was enough, and exhorted them to give thanks unto God. They which heard him, obeyed, and fell to prayer: but they which were further of, and heard him not, chased their enemies till dark night. In so much, that if the rest had done the like, very few of their enemies had escaped. That day they spoiled their enemies of a great part of their armour and munition. So God restored in this combat and in others, to the poor Waldoys,
