Compare 1577 edition: 1 But as other write, the said earle was taken by the said Robert Hall himselfe & Iohn Shakell ioint|lie, and iudged to be their lawfull prisoner, Thom. Wals. by the sen|tence of the prince of Wales, and sir Iohn Chandois that was master to the said esquiers. Wherevpon af|terwards the said earle obteined so much fauor, that by leauing his sonne and heire in gage for his ran|some, he returned into Spaine, to prouide monie to discharge it; but he was so slow in that matter, after he was at libertie, that he departed this life before he made any paiment, and so his lands fell to his sonne that remained in gage for the monie with the two esquiers. Wherevpon it happened afterwards, that the duke of Lancaster, desirous to haue the yoong earle in his hands (in hope through his meanes the better to accomplish his enterprise which he meant to take in hand against the king of Castile, for the right of that kingdome) procured his nephue king Richard to require the said earle of Deane, at the hands of the said esquiers.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 But they refused to deliuer him, keeping their priso|ner foorth of the waie, so that none wist were he was become: the esquiers therefore were committed to the tower, out of the which they escaped vnto West|minster, and there registred themselues for sanctuarie men. The duke of Lancaster was herewith sore of|fended, and their enimies the said lord Latimer and sir Rafe Ferrers tooke counsell togither, with sir A|lane Boxhull and others, how they might be reuen|ged of this despite. This sir Alane Boxhull was con|stable of the tower, and therefore it greeued him not a little, that the esquiers had broken from him, and kept themselues thus at Westminster, vnder protec|tion of that priuileged place. Herevpon it was con|cluded, that sir Rafe Ferrers, and the said Alane Boxhull, taking with them certeine men in armour, to the number of fiftie persons, should go and fetch them by force from Westminster, vnto the tower a|gaine.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The morrow therefore after saint Laurence daie, being the eleuenth of August, these two knights ac|companied with certeine of the kings seruants and other, to the number afore mentioned, came into the church at Westminster, whilest the said esquiers were there hearing of high masse, which was then in celebrating; and first laieng hands vpon Iohn Shakell, vsed the matter so with him, that they drew him foorth of the church, and led him streight to the tower. But when they came to Robert Hall, and fell in reasoning with him, he would not suffer them to come within his reach, and perceiuing they meant to take him by force, he drew out a falcheon or short sword which he had girt to him, and therewith laid so fréelie about him, trauersing twise round about the moonks quier, that till they had beset him on ech side, they could doo him no hurt.
