Adam Meri| [...]uth. Moreouer in this parlement it was enacted that no wooll of the English growth should go foorth of the land, but be here wrought and made in cloath: and further an act was ordeined for receiuing of stran|gers that were clothworkers, and order taken, that fit and conuenient places should be assigned foorth to them where to inhabit, with manie priuileges and liberties, and that they should haue wages and sti|pends allowed them, till they were so setled as they might gaine commodiouslie by their occupation and science: but now to returne againe to other matters.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The Scots this yeare tooke the castell of Bothuile by surrender, so as the Englishmen that were with|in it, departed with their liues and goods saued. Di|uerse other castels and fortresses were taken by the Scots in Fife, and in other parts, but the countrie of Galloway was by them speciallie sore afflicted, bi|cause the people there held with their lord Edward Balioll. Herevpon it was agreed in this last parle|ment, that the earle of Warwike being appointed to go thither, should haue with him the power beyond Trent northwards. But when about the Ascension tide the Scots had besieged the castell of Striueling, the king of England in person hasted thitherwards, of whose approach the Scots no sooner vnderstood, but that streightwaies they brake vp their siege, and de|parted thence: the king therefore returned backe in|to the south parts.Sir Eustace Maxwell.

The lord Anthonie Lucie with a part of the ar|mie entred into Galloway, and after he had wasted that countrie, he returned to the armie, which by rea|son of the exceeding great weat that fell in that sea|son, they could not kéepe on their iournie into Dou|glasdale, and to Aire, as they had appointed: but ha|uing remained in Scotland twelue daies, they re|turned altogither vnto Carleill. Edward Balioll was not with them in this iournie, but remained still in England.
