Tudor Tracts Chapter 4. [10 Sep 1547]. But if I should (as cause, I confess, there was enough) make here any stay in his commendation therefore, or of the forward courage of Sir George Haward, who bear the King's Majesty's Standard in the Battle; or of the circumspect diligence of Sir William Pickering and Sir Richard Wingfield, Sergeants of the Band to the Foreward; or of the prompt forwardness of Sir Charles Brandon, another captain there; or of the painful industry of Sir James Wilford, Provost Marshal, who placed himself with the foremost of this Foreward; or of the good order in march of Sir Hugh Willoughby and William Dennis Esquire, both captains; or of the present heart of John Challoner, a captain also in the battle; or of the honest respect of Edward Chamberlain, Gentleman Harbinger [Quartermaster] of the Army, who willingly as then, came in order with the same Foreward; or of right many others in both these Battles (for I was not nigh the Rereward) whose behaviour and worthiness were, at that time, notable in mine eye (although I neither knew then all of them I saw; nor could since remember of them I knew) I might well be in doubt it should be too much an intrication to the matter, too great a tediousness to the reader. And therefore to say on.
