Compare 1577 edition: 1 About the same time also,William Ra|legh bishop of Norwich. whereas William de Ralegh was requested to remooue from the see of Norwich vnto Winchester, and consenting therevn|to, without the kings licence, obteined his confirma|tion of the pope: the king was highlie displeased therewith, bicause he ment it to another. Wherevp|on when the said William Ralegh was returned from Rome to be installed,He is conse|crated bish. of Winchester by the pope. the king sent commande|ment to the maior and citizens of Winchester, that they should not suffer him to enter the citie. Where|vpon EEBO page image 232 he being so kept out, accurssed both the citie and cathedrall church with all the moonks and others that fauoured the prior, which had intruded himselfe onelie by the kings authoritie, and not by lawfull election and means, as was supposed.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 At length the said bishop vpon gréefe conceiued that the king should be so heauie lord vnto him, got into a ship at London, and stale awaie into France, where he was well receiued of the French king,He steleth out of the realme. and greatlie cherished. Also he found such means that the pope in fauour of his cause wrote letters both to the king and to the queene, naming hir his coosen, but which waie that kindered should come about, as yet it was neuer knowen. The bishop to shew himselfe thankefull for such freendship,He giueth to the pope 6000 marks. gaue the pope aboue six thousand marks (as is said) and the pope bicause he would not be accompted a disdainefull person, tur|ned not backe one pennie of that which was so gent|lie offered him. At length partlie at contemplation of the popes letters, and partlie by reason the bishop humbled himselfe in answering the articles which the king had obiected against him in cause of the con|trouersie betwixt them, he granted him his peace, and receiued him into the land, restoring to him all that had beene taken and deteined from him.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Moreouer, in this meane while the pope trusting more than inough vpon the kings simplicitie and pa|tience, who indeed durst not in any case seeme to dis|please him, had sent an other collector of monie into England named Martine,Martine the popes collec|tour. not adorned with power legantine, but furnished with such authorities and faculties as had not beene heard of. He was lodged in the temple, where he shewed what commission he had to gather vp the popes reuenues, and to exact monie by sundrie maner of meanes, and so fell in hand therewith, vsing no small diligence therein, vn|to the great gréefe and hurt of conscience of manie: he had power to staie the bestowing of benefices, till he was satisfied to the full contentation of his mind. Benefices of small value he regarded not greatlie, but such as were good liuings in déed felt his heauie and rauenous hands extended towards them. He had power also to excommunicate, to suspend, and to punish all such as should resist his will, although ne|uer so wilfullie bent, in so much that it was said, he had sundrie blankes vnder the popes bulled seale, bi|cause that vpon the sudden he brought foorth such as seemed best to serue for his purpose. He vsed this his vnmeasurable authoritie to the vttermost, and there|in did not forget his owne profit, but tooke palfries and other presents of religious men.
