Compare 1577 edition: 1 In this parlement, the lord Edmund the kings yoonger sonne was shewed as king of Naples and Sicill,The lord Ed|mund the kings sonne. for the obteining of the possession of which dominions and kingdoms, his father king Henrie demanded no small subsidie and aid of monie,A subsidie demanded. both of the temporaltie and also of the spiritualtie, but nam|lie, he required to haue the tenths of spirituall mens liuings for the terme of fiue yeares, according to the new taxations without any deductions to be allowed except necessarie expenses: also, the fruits for one yeare of benefices that chanced to fall void within the said terme of fiue yeare. Moreouer, sundrie other duties he required to ha [...]e of the [...]pirituall men, sore to their gréeuance, and speciallie, bicause they knew that such tyrannie first tooke beginning from the pope. In the end (though le [...]h they were to consent) yet conditionallie that the king would confirme the liberties contei [...]ed in the great charter, and obserue the same throughlie, now after it had béene so manie times brought out and redéemed, they offered to giue him towards his instant necessitie two and fiftie thousand marks,The offer of y^e spiritualtie. [...] recouerable danger of im|pouerishing the church. And yet, as it is said, the king refused the gift, as that which he thought not to be sufficient.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 ¶ Truelie it sho [...]ld séeme, that there was a great vntowardlie disposition in the subiects of that time, for the helping of their king with necessarie aid of monie, towards such great charges as he had béene diuers waies occasioned to be at, since his first com|ming to the crowne. But bicause it was perceiued that he bestowed no small quantitie of his treasure to the aduancing of his kinsfolke and aliance, name|lie strangers, and againe defraied great summes in vaine hope to obteine the kingdoms of both the Si|cils which the pope offered to him fréelie inough in words, as before yee haue heard, the English subiects conceiued a great misliking of the whole gouerne|ment, and namelie, for that he séemed to be led and ruled by the aduise and counsell of those strangers, who being not throughlie acquainted with the na|ture of the English people, nor fullie instructed in the lawes and customes of the realme, caused him to doo manie things, that procured both to him and them much ill will, as well of the hie states as of the commons, which as occasion serued, they were readie inough to discouer, and therefore they were verie in|quisitiue, both to learne what he receiued, and also in what sort he bestowed that which he did receiue and take.
