The earle went, and preuailed so much,The earle of Flanders p [...]+cifieth his people. that at length he quie|ted them, and then was order giuen for restitution of such things as had béen taken from any man wrong|fullie, according to the order and direction prescribed by certeine discréet persons appointed as commissio|ners in that behalfe. The king perceiuing himselfe in some danger, and that without the fauour of the Flemings he might hardlie escape out of their coun|trie, bare manie things, and spake courteouslie, ma|king partlie amends for the harms doone by his peo|ple, as well abroad in the countries as in the towns. And finallie about Midlent he returned into Eng|land, as after ye shall heare.
