Compare 1587 edition: 1 Malcolme hearing Makduffes words which he vttred in right lamentable ſort, for pure com|paſſion and very ruth that pearced his ſorowfull hart,Malcolme figheth. bewayling the miſerable ſtate of his coũtry, he fetched a deepe ſigh, which Makduffe percey|uing, began to fall moſt earneſtly in hande wyth him, to enterpriſe the deliuering of the Scottiſhe people out of the hands of ſo cruell and bloudie a tyraunt, as Makbeth by too many plaine experi|ments did ſhew himſelfe to be, which was an ea|ſie matter for him to bring to paſſe, conſidering not only the good tytle he had, but alſo the earneſt deſire of the people to haue ſome occaſion mini|ſtred, wherby they might be reuenged of thoſe no|table iniuries, which they dayly ſuſteyned by the outragious crueltie of Makbeths miſgouernãce.

Compare 1587 edition: 1 Though Malcolme was right ſorowfull for the oppreſſion of his Countreymen the Scottes, in maner as Makduffe had declared, yet doub|ting whether he were come as one that ment vn|faynedly as hee ſpake, or elſe as ſent from Mak|beth to betray him, he thought to haue ſome fur|ther triall, and therevpon diſſembling his minde at the firſt, he anſwered as followeth.

Compare 1587 edition: 1 Malcolme Cammore his anſwere.I am truly right ſorie for the miſerie chaun|ced to my Countrey of Scotlande, but though I haue neuer ſo great affection to relieue y^e ſame, yet by reaſon of certaine incurable vyces, whiche raigne in me, I am nothing meete thereto: Firſt ſuche immoderate luſt and voluptuous ſenſua|litie (the abhominable fountaine of all vyces) fo|loweth me, that if I were made king of Scots, I ſhoulde ſeeke to deflower your Maydes and matrones in ſuch wiſe, that mine intemperancie ſhoulde bee more importable vnto you, than the bloudie tyrannie of Makbeth now is.
