Edmund, the chancellour found meanes to keepe that sée also vacant, that he might receiue the profits thereof, during the vacation, and find meanes to be prepared to it in the end. But as touch|ing the sée of Yorke, although he had (as before is said) made his hand of the reuenues belonging to the same from time to time at his pleasure, yet now af|ter that he heard how Geffrey had receiued the pall, he made hauocke, wasting & spoiling all that would yeeld him anie monie, without respect of right or wrong. Moreouer, he caused the hauens to be watch|ed, with commandement giuen to the townes on the sea coast, that they should not suffer the archbishop Geffrey to take land.The arc [...]bi|shop arriued and is com|mitted to+ward. At length yet he arriued at Douer, where he was by the foresaid Matthew de Clere first staied, and after taken out of the abbeie by the chancellours commandement, and commit|ted to prison within the castell, where a Noble man EEBO page image 131 that had maried the chancellors sister was capteine.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The newes of whose imprisonment was anon bruted thorough the realme, wherewith the Nobles fretted, and the commons curssed: finallie all men detested such tyrannie in the chancellour. But name|lie the kings brother earle Iohn stormed at the mat|ter, and with all spéed assembled an armie out of those places where he bare rule, increasing the num|ber with a power of Welshmeir. There came to him the bishop of Winchester, with manie earles and barons, also the bishop of Bath and Chester, which latelie before had béene chéefe fauourers of the chan|cellour in all his dooings: but now that the world was changed, they shewed themselues the most ear|nest enimies he had, as well in words as déeds.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 In an assemblie of all the bishops of England, all those were excommunicate in solemne wise, with candels light, and other such ceremonies, which had either giuen commandement, or were present as partakers, to pull out of the church the archbishop of Yorke, or his people by violence, and had imprisoned them in maner (as before yée haue heard:) but this was after the archbishop was set at libertie, as shuld appeare by Matthew Paris, for the chancellour repen|ting himselfe (though now too late) of his cruell dea|ling against the archbishop of Yorke, wherewith he had kindled such a brand against him, commanded the said archbishop (namelie at the instant sute of the bishop of London, or rather at the commandement of earle Iohn, as Houeden saith) to be set at libertie. But the displeasure once kindled in the hearts of the Nobles, could not so easilie be quenched with his de|liuerie, as it was spéedilie set on fire by his imprison|ment, so that they being now in armour, purposed to abate the pride of the chancellour, and to deliuer the common-wealth of such an vglie tyrant. And to be|gin, they summoned and assigned him a peremptorie day to appeare at Reading, R. Houed. The chancel|lour summo|ned to appeare to make answer vnto such iniuries as he had doone against the archbishop of Yorke, and the bishop of Durham, sithens the de|parture of his souereigne lord the king.
