v. 22. _closed in led_] The body of James, disfigured with wounds, was found the day after the battle; it was carried to Berwick, and ultimately interred in the priory of Shene: see Weaver’s _Anc. Fun. Mon._, p. 394. ed. 1631. After the dissolution of that house, according to Stow’s account, the body, enclosed in lead, was thrown into one of the lumber-rooms; and the head, which some workmen hewed off “for their foolish pleasure,” was brought to London and buried in St. Michael’s Church, Wood Street: _Survey_, B. iii. 81. ed. 1720. Page 183. v. 26. _byllys_] i. e. bills,—a sort of beaked pikes,—battle-axes. v. 30. _Folys and sottys_] i. e. Fools and sots. v. 32. _crake_] i. e. vaunt. v. 33. _To face, to brace_] So Borde in his _Boke of knowlege_ introduces a Scotchman saying, “I wyll boost my selfe, I wyll _crake and face_.” Sig. G 2. reprint. Compare our author’s _Magnyfycence_; “Cl. Col. By God, I tell you, I wyll not be _out facyd_. By the masse, I warant thé, I wyll not be _bracyd_.” v. 2247. vol. i. 299. and his _Garlande of Laurell_; “Some _facers_, some _bracers_, some make great crackis.” v. 189. vol. i. 369. In Hormanni _Vulgaria_ we find, “He _faceth_ the matter, and maketh great crakes. _Tragice loquitur_, et ampullosa verba proiicit.” Sig. P iiii. ed. 1530. “He is not aferde to _face or brace_ with any man of worshyp. Nullius viri magnitudinem _allatrare_ dubitat.” Sig. O ii. And in Palsgrave’s _Lesclar. de la Lang. Fr._, 1530, “I _face_ as one dothe that brauleth or falleth out with a nother to make hym a frayde, _Ie contrefays des mines_ ... I dare nat passe by his dore he _faceth and braceth_ me so: ... _il contrefait tellement des mines_.” fol. ccxxx. (Table of Verbes). “I _Brace_ or _face_, _Ie braggue_. He _braced_ and made _a bracyng_ here afore the dore as thoughe he wolde haue kylled.... _Il braggoyt_,” &c. fol. clxxi. (Table of Verbes).

While Henry viii. was encamped before Terouenne, James iv. sent his chief herald to him, with a letter (which may be found in Hall’s _Chron._ (_Hen. viii._), fol. xxix. ed. 1548), reckoning up the various injuries and insults he had received from Henry, and containing what amounted to a declaration of war, unless the English monarch should desist from hostilities against the French king.
