Compare 1577 edition: 1 After which letter thus published in the citie, a great number of artificers, Fabian. Thom. Walsi. and other that loued not to sit in rest vpon such occasion of discord offered, now that things were in bro [...]le in other parts of the realme, assembled in great numbers, & with weapon in hand came to the lord maior of the citie, whom they knew to fauor the kings part,The lord maior forc [...] to take [...] & therefore they forced him through feare of some iniurious violence, to re|ceiue an oth to stand to their ordinance, which was to put to death all those that were aduersaries to the quéene, or had by any meanes procured the hinde|rance of the cities liberties, vnder pretext of which oth they ran and tooke one of the citizens,Iohn Ma [...]|shall taken [...] beheaded called Iohn Marshall, who bicause he was verie familiar with the earle of Glocester, and therefore suspected to haue accused the citizens, they stroke off his head, and spoi|led all his goods.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 On the same day, being the fourtéenth of October, continuing their rage, they ran to the house of the bi|shop of Excester, Walter de Stapleton, and setting fire on the gates, they entred and spoiled him of all his plate, iewels, monie and goods. And as it chanced in an infortunate houre for him, the bishop being at the same time returning from the fields, would not seeme to shrinke, although he was admonished of these outragious attempts of the people; but sitting on horssebacke, came to the north doore of S. Paule, where forthwith the furious people laid violent hands on him, threw him downe, and drew him most out|ragiouslie into Cheapeside, where they proclamed him an open traitor, a seducer of the king, and a de|stroier of their liberties. The bishop had vpon him a certeine cote of defense, which was called an aketon,The bishop of Excester beheaded, the same therefore being plucked beside his backe as all other his garments, they shore his head from his shoulders, and to the like death they put two of his seruants, the one an esquire, and the other a yeoman, The bishops head was set on a pole for a spectacle, that the remembrance of his death, and the cause thereof might continue. His bodie was buried in an old churchyard of the pied friers, without a|ny manner of exequies of funerall seruice doone for him.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 The chiefest cause of the enimitie which the Londo|ners bare towards this bishop, rose hereof. He being lord treasuror, procured that the iustices itinerants did sit in the citie of London, and where manie of the citizens were found offendors, and iustlie punished, as well by loosing their freedoms, as by paieng their fines, and suffering corporall punishments, they con|ceiued a great displeasure towards him. Moreouer, it was said, that he had raised a great multitude of armed men against the quéene, and hir son the duke of Aquitaine, and therefore did the Londoners (as they affirmed) seeke to preuent his proceedings. ¶ The morrow after that they had thus beheaded the bishop of Excester, they tooke by chance sir Iohn We|ston constable of the tower, and from him they tooke the keies of the same tower, and so entering the tower, they set all the prisoners at libertie, and in like case all those that were imprisoned in maner through the land were permitted to go at large, and all the banished men and outlawes were likewise restored home.
