Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 After this, a great number were sent by night, to haue laid hands on him, and to haue brought him to the kings presence; or in case he resisted, to haue slaine him, if by any meanes they might: but he be|ing warned by a messenger, that came to him from the duke of Glocester, conueied himselfe awaie, and with such bands as he had got togither,The earle of Arundell ioi|neth with the other lords. rode all that night, so that in the morning hauing passed thirtie miles, not without great trauell, and all speed possi|ble, he was in the morning aduanced to Haringie parke, where he found the duke of Glocester, and the earle of Warwike, with a great power of men about them. ¶ At the same time the king was about to set forward towards Canturburie, there to performe some vow of pilgrimage, which he had vndertaken to make vnto the shrine of Thomas Becket. But a brute was raised, and a slander (belike) contriued, to bring him in further hatred of his subiects, that he meant to steale ouer into France, vnto the French king hauing promised to deliuer vp into his hands the towne of Calis, with the castell of Guines, and all the fortresses which his predecessors had possessed in those parties, either by right from their ancestors, or by warlike conquest.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Howbeit this his iournie to Canturburie was suddenlie staied, vpon knowledge had of the gathe|ring togither of the lords in Haringie parke, where|with the king being sore amazed, called togither such as he trusted, to vnderstand what their opinion was of the matter; and vnderstanding that the purposed intention of the lords, for which they were so assem|bled, was to this end (as they pretended) to bring him vnto a better trade of life, and more profitable or|der of gouernement, he was streight striken with no small feare, demanding of them their aduise,Councell ta|ken how to deale against the lords. what was best for him to doo in such troublesome state of things. Some were of this mind, that it should be best to séeke to appease the lords with faire promises, assuring them, that they should haue their desires. O|ther thought it better to assemble the kings friends, and ioining them with the Londoners, to go foorth and trie the hazard of battell with the lords. Among them that were of this mind, the archbishop of Yorke was the chiefest. But other that were thought to vn|derstand more of the world than he did, iudged it not wisedome so to doo, considering that if the king lost the field, then should great harme and dishonor fol|low; and if the victorie fell to his side, yet could he gaine naught, but lose a great number of his sub|iects.

But notwithstanding, the lords went forward with their businesse;The lords send messen|gers to the king. and before they approch|ed the citie of London, they sent to the king the arch|bishop of Canturburie, the lord Iohn Louell, the lord Cobham, and the lord Iohn Deuereux, requiring to haue deliuered vnto them such as were about him, that were traitors and seducers both of him and the realme, that sought nothing else, but to trouble both poore and rich, and to sow discord and variance betwixt the king and his nobles. And further, they declared that their comming was for the honor and wealth both of the king and realme.
