Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 5 When he heard what they had answered, he com|manded that they should be brought foorthwith be|fore his presence, to heare what they would say. Here|with an herald in the kings name with lowd voice commanded the dukes to come before the king, ei|ther of them to shew his reason, or else to make peace togither without more delaie. When they were come before the king and lords, the king spake himselfe to them, willing them to agree, and make peace togi|ther:

for it is (said he) the best waie ye can take

. The duke of Norfolke with due reuerence herevnto an|swered it could not be so brought to passe, his ho|nor saued. Then the king asked of the duke of Here|ford, what it was that he demanded of the duke of Norfolke, and

what is the matter that ye can not make peace togither, and become friends?

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 Then stood foorth a knight; who asking and obtei|ning licence to speake for the duke of Hereford, said;

Right deare and souereigne lord,The obiection against the duke of Nor|folke. here is Henrie of Lancaster duke of Hereford and earle of Derbie, who saith, and I for him likewise say, that Thomas Mobwraie duke of Norfolke is a false and disloiall traitor to you and your roiall maiestie, and to your whole realme: and likewise the duke of Hereford saith and I for him, that Thomas Mowbraie duke of Norfolke hath receiued eight thousand nobles to pay the souldiers that keepe your towne of Calis, which he hath not doone as he ought: and furthermore the said duke of Norfolke hath béene the occasion of all the treason that hath beene contriued in your realme for the space of these eighteene yeares, & by his false suggestions and malicious counsell, he hath caused to die and to be murdered your right déere vncle, the duke of Glocester, sonne to king Edward. Moreo|uer, the duke of Hereford saith, and I for him, that he will proue this with his bodie against the bodie of the said duke of Norfolke within lists. The king herewith waxed angrie, and asked the duke of Here|ford, if these were his woords, who answered: Right déere lord, they are my woords; and hereof I require right, and the battell against him.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 There was a knight also that asked licence to speake for the duke of Norfolke, and obteining, it began to answer thus:

Right déere souereigne lord, here is Thomas Mowbraie duke of Norfolke, who answereth and saith, and I for him, that all which Henrie of Lancaster hath said and declared (sauing the reuerence due to the king and his councell) is a lie; and the said Henrie of Lancaster hath falselie and wickedlie lied as a false and disloiall knight, and both hath béene, and is a traitor against you, your crowne, roiall maiestie, & realme. This will I proue and defend as becommeth a loiall knight to doo with my bodie against his: right déere lord, I beséech you therefore, and your councell, that it maie please you in your roiall discretion, to consider and marke, what Henrie of Lancaster duke of Hereford, such a one as he is, hath said.
