Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 The said canons and officials well considering of the popes letters, which were deliuered vnto them by the messengers, signified for answer, that they would gladlie receiue him as legat of the apostolike sée, but not as archbishop of Canturburie, nor as their pri|mat. Herewith he came to Yorke vpon saint Bar|nabies daie being sundaie, and was receiued with EEBO page image 148 procession. On the morrow after, he held a court of plees of the crowne, of assises, and such other matters touching the king. On the next day being Tues|day, he entred into the monasterie of saint Maries in Yorke, and deposed the abbat, bicause of his infir|mitie of bodie, at the request of the moonks, but the abbat appealed to the popes consistorie. Then he as|sembled the cleargie in the church of Saint Peter in Yorke,A synod hol|den at Yorke. and there held a synod for reformation of things amisse in the church, and amendment of man|ners in the cleargie so that diuerse decrées were made, the which for bréefenesse we [...] to speake of in particular. This yeare also, the said archbishop [...] throughout the realme of England to receiue an oth of obseruing the kings [...], and to sweare that they should not be robbers, nor abbettors of ro [...]bers, nor in any wise consenting vnto them, but should doo what in them might lie to [...] offendors, and to discouer them to the kings officers to be apprehended, and to pursue them vpon hew and crie to the vttermost of their powers, and those that withdrew themselues from such pursuit; should be apprehended as partakers with the offendors.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The emperor sendeth to the king.About this time the emperour sent to king Ri|chard, requiring him in no wise to conclude any peace with the French king, but rather to inuade his dominions, promising to aid him all that he might. But king Richard, Anno Reg. 7. to vnderstand further of the em|perours mind herein, sent ouer his chancellour the bishop of Elie vnto him in ambassage.The bishop of Elie is sent to the emperour. In the meane time the warre was still continued betwixt him and the French, by the which they were com|monlie put to the worse, and king Richard inuading their borders, did much hurt in wasting the coun|tries on each side. The French king was at one time so narrowlie chased, that as he would haue passed a bridge that laie ouer the water of Saine, he was in danger of drowning by the fall of the same vnder him, but yet at the length he escaped, and got to the further side.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 After this, the two kings came to a communica|tion togither,The 2 kings talke togither. in the which a motion was made, that Lewes the French king his sonne and heire should haue the sister of Arthur duke of Britaine in marri|age, and that king Richard in consideration thereof should surrender vnto them and to their heires the townes of Gisors, Bademont, with the countrie of Ueulquessine or Ueuxine le Normant, Uernon, I|uerie and Pascie; and further should giue vnto them twentie thousand marks of siluer. On the other side it was mooued, that the French king should resigne vnto king Richard all that he could demand in the countie of Engeulesme, and should restore vnto him the counties of Albemarle and Augie, with the ca|stell of Arkes, and all other castels which he had taken in Normandie, or in any partie during these last warres. But there was a respit taken for the full concluding and assuring of these conditions, till the octaues of All saints, that king Richard might vn|derstand the emperours pleasure, without whose con|sent he might not conclude any thing concerning that matter, bicause he had sent such word vnto him by the lord chancellour, who at this time was atten|dant in his court.
