Compare 1577 edition: 1 But the duke comming by some meanes to vnder|stand of this wicked practise, had no desire to take part of that supper, where such sharpe sauce was proui|ded and withall gaue warning to the residue, that they likewise should not come there, but to content themselues with their owne suppers at their lodg|ings. It was said, that sir Nicholas Brember, who had béene maior the yeare before, had promised his as|sistance in the execution of this horrible fact: but tho|rough the commendable constancie of Richard Ex|ton that was maior this yeare, being mooued by the king for his furtherance therein,Richard Ex|ton iustlie cõ|mended. and denieng flatlie to consent to the death of such innocent persons, that heinous practise was omitted. This matter being brought to light, the hatred and malice which men bare to such councellors of the king greatlie increa|sed, and the duke of Glocester and such as withstood the king, dailie grew more and more into the peo|ples fauour.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 A subsidie granted and appointed to be sp [...]nt ac|cording to ye discretion of the nobilitie.Howbeit at length, through the earnest sute of some of the great lords, there was granted to the king halfe a tenth and halfe a fiftéenth, which should not be spent at the pleasure of the prince, but by the order and appointment of the said lords, & so at length the earle of Arundell was appointed to receiue it, to furnish him with a nauie to the seas. But before this paiment might be granted, there was much adoo, & hard bold: for where the said earle of Suffolke then lord chancellor, at first had demanded of the com|mons in the kings name, foure fiftéens (for with lesse (said he) the king could not mainteine his estate and the warres which he had in hand) the whole bodie of the parlement made answer thereto, that without the king were present (for he was then at Eltham) they could make therein no answer at all: and here|with they tooke occasion at length to say further, that except the said earle of Suffolke were remooued from the office of chancellorship, they would meddle no further with any act in this parlement, were it ne|uer of so small importance.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 The king being aduertised hereof, sent againe to the commons,Dissention between [...] [...] king an [...] [...] parlement house. that they should send vnto Eltham (where he laie) fortie of the wisest and best learned of the common house, the which in the name of the whole house should declare vnto him their minds. And then the house was in no small feare, by reason of a brute that was raised, how the king sought meanes to in|trap and destroie them that followed not his purpose. Herevpon aswell the lords of the vpper house as the commons of the lower assembled togither, and a|gréed with one consent, that the duke of Glocester,The duke of Glocester and the bishop of Elie sent to y^ [...] K. at Eltham frõ the whole bodie of the parlement. and Thomas Arundell bishop of Elie, should in the name of the whole parlement be sent to the king vn|to Eltham: which was doone, and the king was well contented that they should come. When they came before his presence, with humble reuerence they de|clared their message, which consisted in these points: That the lords and commons assembled at that pre|sent in parlement,Their re|quests to the king. besought him of his lawfull fa|uour, that they might liue in peace and tranquillitie vnder him.
