Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Some there be that write, how the king piked the first quarell against the maior and shiriffes, for a riot committed by the vnrulie citizens,A great fire kindled about a litle sparke. against the ser|uants of the bishop of Salisburie: for that where one of the same bishops seruants had taken a horsse-lofe frõ a bakers man, as he passed by in Fléetstréet with his basket to serue his masters customers, and would not deliuer it againe, but brake the bakers mans head, when he was earnest to haue recouered the lofe, the inhabitants of the stréet rose, and would haue had the bishops man to prison for breaking the kings peace: but he was rescued by his fellowes, and esca|ped into Salisburie house, that stood there within the allie, and as then belonged to his master the bishop of Salisburie, being at that time high treasuror of England.A riot by the Londoners vpon the bi|shop of Salis|buries men. The people being set in a rage for the re|scue so made, gathered togither in great multitudes about the bishops palace gate, and would haue fetch|ed out the offendor by force.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 To conclude, such a hurling was in the stréet, that the maior, with the shiriffes, & diuers aldermen came thither with all speed, to take order in the matter, and to sée the peace kept; but after the cõming thither of the maior, the commons of the citie resorted to the place in far greater numbers than before; and the more they were, the worsse they were to rule, and would not be persuaded to quiet themselues, except the bishops seruant,Walter Ro|mane. whose name was Walter Ro|mane, might be had out of the house, and committed to prison: but at length, after manie assaults, lifts, & other indeuours made to haue broken vp the gates of the house, the maior & aldermen, with other discréet commoners appeased the people so, as they brought them to quiet, and sent euerie man to his house.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The bishop was then at Windesor where the court laie, who being informed of this matter, by a grée|uous report, and happilie in worsse manner than the thing had happened indeed, tooke such indignation therewith, that taking with him Thomas Arundell archbishop of Yorke, then lord chancellor of Eng|land,The bishop of Salisburie maketh a greé+uous cõplaint of the Londo|ners to the king. he went to the king and made an heinous com|plaint against the citizens for their misdemeanor, so that his displeasure was the more kindled against the citizens, in so much that, whether in respect of this last remembred complaint, or rather for their vncourte|ous deniall to lend him the thousand pounds, and mis|using the Lombard that offered to lend the same,The maior & shiriffes of London sent for to Wind|sore to the king, & there imprisoned. I cannot saie; but sure it is, that the maior and shiriffe, and a great sort more of the citizens, were sent for to come to the court, where diuerse misdemeanors were obiected and laid to their charge: and notwithstan|ding, what excuse they pretended, the maior and shi|riffes with diuerse other of the most substantiall citi|zens, were arrested. The maior was committed to the castell of Windesor, and the other, vnto other ca|stels and holds, to be safelie kept, till the king, by the aduise of his councell, should determine further what should be doone with them.
