Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Such as should receiue hir at Douer repaired thi|ther, where at hir landing,

The empe|rours sister affianced to K Richard, is receiued at Douer.

A water|shake.

a maruellous and right strange woonder happened; for she was no sooner out of hir ship, and got to land in safetie with all hir com|panie, but that foorthwith the water was so troubled and shaken, as the like thing had not to any mans remembrance euer béene heard of: so that the ship in which the appointed queene came ouer, was terri|blie rent in péeces, and the residue so beaten one a|gainst an other, that they were scattered here and there after a woonderfull manner. Before hir com|ming to the citie of London, she was met on Black|heath by the maior and citizens of London in most honorable wise, and so with great triumph conueied to Westminster, where (at the time appointed) all the nobilitie of the realme being assembled,The kings marriage with the em|perors sister. she was ioi|ned in marriage to the king, and crowned quéene by the archbishop of Canturburie, with all the glorie and honor that might be deuised. There were also hol|den for the more honour of the same marriage, so|lemne iustes for certeine daies togither, in which, as well the Englishmen as the new quéenes countrie|men shewed proofe of their manhood and valiancie, whereby praise & commendation of knightlie prow|esse was atchiued, not without damage of both the parties.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 After that the solemnitie of the marriage was fi|nished, the parlement eftsoones began, in the which many things were inacted, for the behoofe of the com|monwealth. And amongst other things it was ordei|ned, that all maner manumissions, obligations, re|leasses, and other bonds made by compulsion, dures, and menace, in time of this last tumult and riot a|gainst the lawes of the land; and good faith, should be vtterlie void and adnihilated. And further, that if the kings faithfull liege people did perceiue any gathe|ring of the cõmons in suspected wise, to the number of six or seauen, holding conuenticles togither, they should not staie for the kings writ in that behalfe for their warrant, but foorthwith it should be lawfull for EEBO page image 440 them to apprehend such people, assembling togither, and to laie them in prison, till they might answer their dooings. These and manie other things were established in this parlement, of the which, the most part are set foorth in the printed booke of statutes, where ye may read the same more at large.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 In time of this parlement William Ufford the earle of Suffolke, being chosen by the knights of the shires, to pronounce in behalfe of the common|wealth, certeine matters concerning the same: the verie daie and houre in which he should haue serued that turne,The sudden death of the earle of Suf|folke. as he went vp the staires, towards the vp|per house, he suddenlie fell downe and died in the hands of his seruants, busie about to take him vp, whereas he felt no gréefe of sickenesse when he came into Westminster, being then and before merrie and pleasant inough, to all mens sights. Of his sudden death, manie were greatlie abashed, for that in his life time, he had shewed himselfe courteous and ami|able to all men. ¶ The parlement shortlie therevpon tooke end, after that the merchants had granted to the king for a subsidie certeine customes of their wools, which they bought and sold, called a maletot, to endure for foure yeares. ¶ The lord Richard Scroope was made lord chancellor, & the lord Hugh Segraue lord treasuror.
