Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Fabian. I folkemote.Upon the sixt day of Nouember the king came vnto Paules, where by his commandement was the folkemote court assembled, and the king (according to the former ordinances made) asked licence of the communaltie of the citie to passe the sea,The king as|keth licence to passe the seas. and promi|sed there in the presence of a great multitude of peo|ple, by the mouth of Hugh Bigod his chéefe iustice, to be good and grafious lord vnto the citie, and to mainteine the liberties thereof vnhurt. Herewith the people for ioy made a great shout. Matth. West. The king sai|leth ouer into France. The eight day of Nouember he rode through the citie towards the sea side, and vpon the thirtéenth daie of Nouember, he tooke the sea at Douer and arriued at Whitsand, and so from thence he rode vnto Paris, where, of the French king he was most honorablie receiued. The cause of his going ouer was chéefelie to conclude some assured peace with the French king, that he should not néed to doubt any forren enimies, if he should come to haue warre with his owne people, whereof he saw great likelihoods, and therefore he made such agreement with king Lewes (as in the French historie more at large appeareth) which (to be short) I here omit.He compoun|deth all diffe|rences with the French k.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 This one thing is here to be noted, that besides the monie which king Henrie had in hand, amoun|ting to the summe of an hundred and fiftie thousand crownes for his resignation then made vnto Nor|mandie, Aniou and Maine, it was accorded, that he should receiue yearelie in name of a tribute the sum of ten thousand crownes. Polydor. N. Triuet. Wil. Risang. ¶Others write that he had three hundred thousand pounds of small Turon mo|nie, which he receiued in readie paiment, and was promised restitution of lands to the value of twentie thousand pounds of yearelie rent: and that after the decease of the French king, Matt. VVest. that then was, the coun|trie of Poictou should returne vnto the English do|minion. Some write that immediatlie after king Henrie had concluded his agréement, he began to repent himselfe thereof, and would neuer receiue penie of the monie, nor leaue out in his stile the title of duke of Normandie. But it is rather to be thought that such an agreement was at point to haue béene concluded, or at the leastwise was had in talke, but yet neuer concluded nor confirmed with hands and seales, as it ought to haue beene, if they had gone through with it.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Dissention be+twixt prince Edward and the earle of Glocester.In the meane time that king Henrie was thus occupied in France, dissention fell in England be|twéene prince Edward and Richard earle of Gloce|ster, for the appeasing whereof a parlement was cal|led at Westminster, to the which the lords came with great companies, and speciallie the said prince and earle. They intended to haue lodged within the citie: but the maior going vnto the bishop of Worcester, to sir Hugh Bigod, and to sir Philip Basset (vnto whome, and to the archbishop of Canturburie, the K. had committed the rule of the land in his absence) required to know their pleasure herein. Wherevpon they thought it good to haue the aduise of Richard the king of Almaine, and therevpon went to him, where they concluded,Prince Ed|ward and the earle of Gloc [...]|ster are not suffered to come within the citie of London. that neither the said prince nor earle nor anie of their partakers should come within the citie, the gates whereof were by the maiors appoint|ment closed and kept with watch and ward both day and night. Soone after also, for the more safegard of the citie, the gates were by the maiors appointment closed and kept with diligent watch and ward both day and night. Soone after also for the more safegard of the said citie, and sure kéeping of the peace, the king of Almaine with the said sir Hugh and sir Phi|lip came and lodged in the citie with their compa|nies, and such other as they would assigne, to streng|then the citie if need required. Wherin their prouident consent to withstand so foule a mischeefe as sedition might haue bred in the citie, deserueth high com|mendation, for it was the next waie to preserue the state thereof against all occasions of ruine, to vnite harts and hands in so swéet an harmonie, which the law of nature teacheth men to doo, and as by this sage sentence is insinuated and giuen to vnderstand,

Manus manum lauat & digitus digitum,

Vir virum & ciuitas seruat ciuitatem.
