Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 After this, sir Iohn Salisburie, & sir Iames Ber|neis,Diuerse that stood against the lords ex|ecuted. both knights and lustie yoong men, were by iudgement of parlement drawne and hanged. Then folowed Iohn Beauchampe of the Holt, lord steward of the kings house, that had serued king Edward the third, and his sonne Lionell duke of Clarence: who likewise by decrée of this parlement was drawne and hanged. Also Iohn Blake esquier, who in an infortunate houre stood against the lords in the coun|cell at Notingham, was now drawne and hanged, and so was one Thomas Uske. Last of all (or as some hold, first of all) was sir Simon Burlie beheaded, al|though the earle of Derbie did what he could to saue his life, by reason whereof, great dissention rose be|twixt the said earle, and the duke of Glocester: for the duke being a sore and a right seuere man,The duke of Glocester a seuere man. might not by any meanes be remooued from his opinion and purpose, if he once resolued vpon any matter. Some spite he bare (as was thought) towards the said sir Simon Burlie, both as well for the faithfull fréendship,Sir Simon Burlie. which was growne betwixt the duke of Ireland, and the said sir Simon, as also for that he looked to haue had such offices and roomes which sir Simon inioied, by the kings gratious fauour and grants thereof to him made, as the Wardenship of the cinque ports, and constableship of the castell of Douer, and the office of high chamberleine.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 ¶ But now, bicause of all these which were condem|ned and executed at this parlement, in our common chronicles there is least written; and in Froissard, and diuerse priuate pamphlets I haue read most of this sir Simon, I haue thought good to set downe some part of his life, so largelie as this volume may well beare although a great deale more briefe than where I found it. This sir Simon was the son of sir Iohn Burlie knight of the garter, and brought vp in his youth vnder his kinsman doctor Walter Burlie, who (as in the latter end of king Edward the third you haue heard) was one of the chiefe that had charge in the bringing vp of the Blacke prince, eldest sonne to the said king Edward. By this occasion he grew in|to such fauour with the prince, that afterwards the said prince committed vnto him the gouernance of his sonne Richard of Burdeaux, who as he was of a gen [...]le and courteous nature, began then to conceiue so great loue and liking towards him, that when he came to the crowne and was king, he aduanced him highlie to great honours and promotions, in somuch that at one time & other he was made knight of the gart [...]r, constable of Douer, lord Wa [...]den of the cinque ports, lord chamberleine, Abr. Fl. out of Henrie Knigh|ton, fol. 191. earle of Hunting|ton, and also one of the priuie councell to the king.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Neither was there any thing doone concerning the affaires apperteining vnto the state without his counsell, appointment, and direction, wherein he so much fauoured and leaned to the partie of the duke of Ireland, that he was sore enuied, and greatlie ha|ted of diuerse of the rest of the nobilitie, speciallie of the kings vncle the duke of Glocester, who vpon ma|lice that he bare to the man, not so much for his owne demeanour, as for his alies, and peraduenture for desire of his roomes, more than of his life, caused him to be accused of diuerse offenses against the crowne, realme, and church; namelie, for that he had (as they surmized against him) spoiled and wasted the kings treasure, and withholden the paie of the souldiers and men of warre, wherevpon he was arrested, called to account, & hauing no clerke allowed him to make vp the same, was found in arrerages 250000 franks. And although for one part thereof he demanded al|lowance of monie, which be had defraied and laid out in Almaine, and in Boheme, about the kings mar|riage, and for the residue desired daies of paiment, yet he could obteine neither. Further, he was accused that the duke of Ireland and he had gathered great summes of monie, conueied the same to Douer, and from thence sent it in the night by sea into Ger|manie.
