Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 S. Peters church at Westminster.The church of saint Peter at Westminster was inlarged, and newlie repared by the king, speciallie all the east part of it, the old wals being pulled down, and builded vp in more comelie forme. ¶The generall councell, according to the summons giuen, was hol|den this yeare at Lions,The English ambassadors come to the councell. where it began about mid|summer, in which the English ambassadors being ar|riued, presented to the pope their leters, directed from the whole bodie of the realme of England, requiring a redresse in such things, wherewith (as by the same letters it appeared) the realme found it selfe sore an|noied. The pope promised to take aduise therein, but sith the matter was weightie, it required respit. Fi|nallie, when they were earnest in requiring a deter|minate answer, it was giuen them to vnderstand, that they should not obteine their desires, wherevpon in great displeasure they came awaie,The English ambassadors threaten the pope, that he should not haue any tri|bute out of England. threatening and binding their words with oths, that from thence|foorth they would neuer paie, nor suffer to be paid, a|nie tribute to the court of Rome, nor permit the re|uenues of those churches, whereof they were pa|trones, to be pulled awaie, by any prouision of the same court.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The pope hearing of these things, passed them ouer patientlie, but he procured the English bishops to set their seales vnto that charter, which king Iohn had made concerning the tribute, against the mind of the archbishop of Canturburie Stephan Langton, who at that time, when king Iohn should seale it, spake sore against it. When king Henrie was in|formed hereof, he was gréeuouslie offended; and sware in a great chafe, that although the bishops had doone otherwise than they ought, yet would he stand in defense of the liberties of his realme, and would not so long as he had a day to liue, paie any dutie to the court of Rome, vnder the name of a tribute. In this meane while, the king with a puissant armie in|uaded the Welsh rebels, Matth. Paris. to reduce them to some quiet, whereas with their continuall incursions and other exploits, they had sore harried, vexed, and wa|sted the lands of the kings subiects.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Herevpon the king being entred the countrie,The king in|uades Wales. He buildeth a castell at Gannoke. in|uaded the same, vnto the confines of Snowdon, and there he began to build a strong castell at a place cal|led Gannoke, remaining there about the space of+ten wéeks, during the which, the armie suffered great miserie through want of vittels and other prouisions namelie apparell, and other helps to defend them|selues from cold, which sore afflicted the souldiers and men of warre, bicause they laie in the field, and winter as then began to approch. Moreouer, they were driuen to kéepe watch and ward verie strong|lie, for doubt to be surprised by sudden assaults of the enimies, the which watched vpon occasion euer to doo some mischéefe.
