This day my Lord and his gentlemen did go into the trenches with us and with a great force we did drive the enemy from his place and I and several others climbing out of the trench and running up to the counterscape amongst many hagagbush shots we did gain their line and did give five or six of them that opposed us a draft of eternal sleep and in this trench we found their cloaks and swords and especially their powder all the which we sent back to our fellows and so we sat to watch and hold this place and all very cold and miserable; at about six of the clock St. John his troop did relieve us and so we back to the French his quarter for some supper but little to be had owning to the continued bad weather and so to sleep a bit on straw in a barn there.
Coingsby attests to the taking of the counterscarp.
