At the prison were certaine warders, whom Iohn Fox and his companie slewe:  in the killing of whom, there were eight more of the Turkes, which perceiued them, and got them to the toppe of the prison:  vnto whom Iohn Fox, and his company, were faine to come by ladders, where they found a hot skirmish.  For some of them were there slaine, some wounded, and some but scarred, and not hurt.  As Iohn Fox was thrise shot through his apparell, and not hurt.  Peter Vnticaro, and the other two, that had armed them with the duckats, were slaine, as not able to weild themselues, being so pestered with the weight and vneasie carying of the wicked and prophane treasure:  and also diuerse Christians were aswell hurt about that skirmish, as Turkes slaine.

Amongst the Turkes was one thrust thorowe, who (let vs not say that it was ill fortune) fell off from the toppe of the prison wall, and made such a lowing, that the inhabitants thereabout (as here and there scattering stoode a house or two) came and dawed [Footnote:  To awaken:  here to bring back to his senses.  I know of no other instance where it bears just this meaning.  “The other side from whence the morning daws.” (Polyolbion X.)] him, so that they vnderstood the case, how that the prisoners were paying their ransomes:  wherewith they raised both Alexandria which lay on the west side of the roade, and a Castle which was at the Cities end, next to the roade, and also an other Fortresse which lay on the Northside of the roade:  so that nowe they had no way to escape, but one, which by mans reason (the two holdes lying so vpon the mouth of the roade) might seeme impossible to be a way for them.  So was the red sea impossible for the Israelites to passe through, the hils and rockes lay so on the one side, and their enemies compassed on the other.  So was it impossible, that the wals of Iericho should fall downe, being neither vndermined, nor yet rammed at with engines, nor yet any mans wisedome, pollicie, or helpe set or put thereunto.  Such impossibilities can our God make possible.  He that helde the Lyons iawes from renting Daniel asunder, yea, or yet from once touching him to his hurt:  can not he hold the roring cannons of this hellish force?  He that kept the fiers rage in the hot burning Ouen, from the three children, that praised his name, can not he keepe the fiers flaming blastes from among his elect?

Now is the road fraught with lustie souldiers, laborers, and mariners, who are faine to stand to their tackling, in setting to euery man his hand, some to the carying in of victuals, some munitions, some oares, and some one thing, some another, but most are keeping their enemie from the wall of the road.  But to be short, there was no time mispent, no man idle, nor any mans labour ill bestowed, or in vaine.  So that in short time, this gally was ready trimmed vp.  Whereinto euery man leaped in all haste, hoyssing vp the sayles lustily, yeelding themselues to his mercie and grace, in whose hands are both winde and weather.
