Compare 1577 edition: 1 The archbishop of Canturburie (vnto whome the rule of the realme chéefelie belonged) being aduerti|sed hereof, sent for the greatest number of the citi|zens, and vsing them with gentle words, persuaded them to deliuer pledges, the better to assure him, that no such thing should chance, which was suspected of manie, though he was loth to conceiue any such opi|nion of them. They being ouercome with his cour|teous words, gaue vnto him pledges.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 After this, when the foresaid William ceased not to make congregations of the people,He is called before the archbishop of Canturburie lord chéefe iu|stice or presi|dent of the realme. at length the archbishop sent a commandement vnto him, that he should appeare before him and other of the councell, at a certeine prefixed daie, to answer to such things as might be laid to his charge. To be short, he did so at the time appointed, but with such a rout of the com|mon people about him, that the archbishop durst not pronounce against him, but licenced him to depart for that time, giuing him soft and gentle words. Howbeit, certeine persons were then appointed by the said archbishop and other of the councell to watch him sometime, when he should haue no great compa|nie about him, and then to apprehend him.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Amongst those that were thus commanded to at|tach him, were two burgesses of the citie, who ha|uing espied a conuenient time for the execution of their purpose, set vpon him to haue taken him, but he getting an ax, defended himselfe manfullie: and in resisting slue one of them, and after that fled into the church of S. Marie Bow,He fléeth in [...]o the church of S. Marie Bow. kéeping the same not as a place of sanctuarie, but as a fortresse: in somuch that by the helpe of such as resorted vnto him, he de|fended it against his aduersaries, till with fire and smoke they constreined him to come foorth and all those that were there with him:His concu|bine. amongst them also was his concubine, who neuer left him for any dan|ger that might be [...]ide him.
