Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 The townesmen were not verie earnest in pursu|ing of them, bicause of the kings proclamation and ordinance before time made in fauour of the Iewes:The slaugh|ter made of the Iewes at Lin. but the mariners followed them to their houses, [...] diuerse of them, robbed and sacked their goods, and finallie set their dwellings on fire; and so burnt them vp altogither. These mariners being inriched with the spoile of the Iewes goods, and fearing to be cal|led to accompt for their vnlawfull act by the kings of|ficers, got them foorthwith to shipboord, and hoising vp sailes, departed with their ships to the sea, and so escaped the danger of that which might haue béene o|therwise laid to their charge The townesmen being called to an accompt excused themselues by the ma|riners, burdening them with all the fault. But al|though they of Lin were thus excused, yet they of Yorke escaped not so easilie. For the king being ad|uertised of such outrage, doone contrarie to the order of his lawes and expresse commandement, wrote o|uer to the bishop of Elie his chancellour, charging him to take cruell punishment of the offendors.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The bishop with an armie went to Yorke, but the cheefe authors of the riot hearing of his comming, fled into Scotland: yet the bishop at his comming to the citie, caused earnest inquirie to be made of the whole matter. The citizens excused themselues, & offe|red to proue that they were not of counsel with them that had committed the riot, neither had they aided nor comforted them therein in anie maner of wise. And in déed the most part of them that were the of|fendors, were of the countries and townes néere to the citie, with such as were crossed into the holie land, and now gone ouer to the king, so that verie few or none of the substantiall men of the citie were found to haue ioined with them. Howbeit this would not excuse the citizens,The citizens of Yorke put to their fine for slaugh|ter of the Iewes. but that they were put to their fine by the stout bishop, euerie of them paieng his portion according to his power and abilitie in substance, the common sort of the poore people being pardoned, and not called into iudgement, sith the ringleaders were fled and gone out of the waie: and thus much by waie of digression touching the Iews.
