Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 About the same time, that is to say, on the octaues of saint Martin, Boniface the archbishop of Cantur|burie arriued in England, comming from the court of Rome, where he had beene long resiant. ¶ At the same time there chanced a great occasion of strife betwixt the said archbishop, and the bishop of Win|chester. For where maister Eustace de Lin, officiall to the said archbishop had first excommunicated, and after for his contumacie caused to be attached a preest which by authoritie of the elect of Winchester as diocesane there, was entred into possession of an hospitall in Southwarke, as gouernour thereof, by the name of prior, without consent of the officiall: who pretended title as patrone in his maisters name. The said elect of Winchester caused a riotous sort of persons after the maner of warre to seeke re|uenge hereof, the which after manie outrages doone, came to Lambeth, and there by violence tooke the said Eustace out of his owne house, and led him to Farnham, where he was kept as prisoner.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The archbishop thus serued at his first comming ouer, and taking the same but for a homlie welcome, was maruellouslie offended, and comming to Lon|don accompanied with the bishops of Chichester and Hereford, in the church of saint Marie bowe, being reuested in pontificalibus, pronounced all those ac|curssed, which were authours or fauourers of such a rash and presumptuous deed, and further commanded all the bishops within his prouince, by vertue of their obedience, to denounce the same in their churches e|uerie sundaie and holie day. The bishop of Winche|ster on the other part, sent commandement to the deane of Southwarke, to resist the archbishop to his face, and to denounce his cursse to be void, vaine, and of no force, but deuised of a craftie purpose and wic|ked meaning. The archbishop continuing in his con|ceiued displeasure, went to Oxenford, and there on the morrow after saint Nicholas day, renewed the same cursse in solemne wise before all the learned men, students, and scholers of the Uniuersitie.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Howbeit, at length the matter was taken vp be|twixt them, for the king in his brothers cause, and the queene for hir vncle the archbishop, tooke some paine to agree them:The archb. of Canturburie and the bishop of Winchester made fréends. William de Ualence, and Iohn de Warren. and so in the octaues of the Epiphanie they were made freends, and those absolued that were excommunicated, in which number William de Ua|lence, and Iohn de Warren were thought to be con|teined, as those that should be present in vsing the force against the officiall (as before ye haue heard.) By inquirie taken about this time by the diligence of the bishop of Lincolne, it was found that the yéer|lie profits and reuenues of spirituall promotions and liuings resting in strangers hands preferred by the popes prouisions,The value of spirituall li|uings in stran+gers hands. amounted to the summe of thréescore and ten thousand marks, which was more by two third parts, than the kings reuenues belong|ing to his crowne.
