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.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The earle of Glocester and the lord William de Ualence went ouer into France in most trium|phant manner, to conclude a marriage betwixt the sonne of the said earle of Glocester, and the daughter of the lord Guie of Engolesme. Which marriage the king had motioned for the affection which he bare to|wards the aduancement of his linage, by the mo|thers side. Whereat bicause they were strangers, the English nobilitie somewhat repined. And whereas like lustie yoong gentlemen they attempted a iusts and tornie to shew some proofe of their valiant sto|machs, they were well beaten by the Frenchmen, that disdained to see yoong men so presumptuous, to prouoke old accustomed warriours to the triall of such martiall enterprises.The new moone appea|red before hir time. About the beginning of Lent, the new moone was seene foure daies before shée ought to haue appeared by hir due and common course.
