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.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 The Londoners hauing the tower thus at their commandement, remooued all the officers therein placed by the king, and put other in their roomes, in the name of the lord Iohn de Eltham the kings son, whom they named warden of the citie and land. And yet they ceassed not to commit manie robberies & o|ther outragious & most insolent parts. In the meane time, the king being come to Bristow, left that citie in the kéeping of the earle of Winchester. And with the earles of Glocester and Arundell, and the lord chancellor sir Robert Baldocke,The king sailed in [...] Wales. he sailed ouer into Wales, there to raise a power of Welshmen in de|fense of himselfe against the quéene and hir adhe|rents, which he had good hope to find amongest the EEBO page image 339 Welshmen, Polydor. His fauour towards the Welshmen. bicause he had euer vsed them gentlie, and shewed no rigor towards them for their riotous misgouernance. Againe, he drew the rather into that part, that if there were no remedie, he might easilie escape ouer into Ireland, and get into some moun|teine-countrie, marish-ground, or other streict, where his enimies should not come at him.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 But now to speake of the queene, yée most vnder|stand, that after she had receiued knowledge from the Londoners, that they were wholie at hir deuoti|on,The quéene following the king commeth to Oxenford. Tho. de la Mo [...]e. she being glad thereof, turned hir iournie toward Wales to follow the king, and comming to Oxen|ford, staied there a while, and still came people to hir from all sides. Héere Adam de Torleton the bishop of Hereford, which latelie before had beene sore fined by the king, for that he was accused to stirre the peo|ple to rebellion, and to aid the barons (as yée haue heard) made a pithie oration to the armie,The bishop of Hereford maketh an oration to the quéenes armie. declaring that the queene and hir sonne were returned onelie into England, to the intent to persecute the Spen|sers, & reforme the state of the realme. And sith then that they now were come in maner to an end of the tyrannie of most naughtie men, and of the danger that might growe dailie thereof, he exhorted them with patient minds to beare the small trauell that remained in pursuit of the enimies; and as for re|ward, they might looke for all things by the victorie, and the quéenes liberalitie, whose loue was such to|wards the common-wealth, as she onelie applied all hir endeuours and dooings to the aduancement thereof.
