But here whilest the archbishop, with other péeres of the realme deui|sed orders verie necessarie (as was thought) for the state of the common-wealth, the king doubting least the same should be a bridle for him to restreine his authoritie roiall from dooing things to his pleasure, he began to find fault, and séemed as though he had repented himselfe of his large promises made for his reconciliation: but the archbishop of Canturburie so asswaged his mood, and persuaded him, by opening vnto him what danger would insue both to him and to his realme, if he went from the agreement, that he was glad to be quiet for feare of further trouble.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Upon the second of October, Matth. Paris. Geffrey Fitz Péers or Fitz Peter depar|teth this life. Geffrey Fitz Peter earle of Essex and lord cheefe iustice of England de|parted this life, a man of great power and autoritie, in whose politike direction and gouernement, the or|der of things perteining to the common-wealth chéefelie consisted.
