Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 A rebellion in Scotland by the means of one William Waleis.In the meane time about the moneth of Maie, there began a rebellion in Scotland by the setting on of William Waleis: for the king of Englands iu|stice William Ormsbie, accordinglie as he had in commission, confined and put to outlawrie a great sort of such Scotishmen, as refused to doo fealtie and homage vnto the king of England, the which Sco|tishmen being thus condemned as outlawes, elected the foresaid William Waleis for their capteine, with whome William Douglas being once associa|ted, the number of them increased hugelie. The earle of Surrey and the treasurer being in England, those outlawes purposed to haue taken the iustice at Scone: but he being warned though almost too late, escaped himselfe with much adoo, leauing the most part of his people as a spoile to the enimies. For William Waleis and his companie killed as ma|nie Englishmen as fell into his hands,Englishmen slaine in Scotland. and taking certeine religious men, he bound their hands behind them, and constreined them to leape into the riuer, taking pleasure to behold how they plunged.

The king not minding to breake his iournie which he had purposed to make into Flanders, ap|pointed that the earle of Surrey should haue the lea|ding of all such men of warre as might be leuied be|yond Trent, to represse the Scotish rebels, and also wrote vnto Iohn Comin earle of Boughan,The vnfaith|full dealing of the Scots. that re|membring their faith and promise, they should re|turne into Scotland, and doo their best to quiet the countrie: they according to his commandement, went into Scotland, but shewed themselues slow i|nough to procure those things that perteined to peace and quietnesse.
