Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 The king kéeping on his waie, had not ridden past foure miles, when he came to the place where the am|bushes were lodged, and being entred within dan|ger of them, before he was aware, shewed himselfe to be sore abashed. But now there was no remi [...]: for the earle being there with his men, would not suf|fer him to returne, as he gladlie would haue doone if he might; but being inclosed with the sea on the one side, and the rocks on the other, hauing his aduersa|ries so néere at hand before him, he could not shift a|waie by any meanes, for if he should haue fled backe, they might easilie haue ouertaken him, yer he could haue got out of their danger. And thus of force he was then constrained to go with the earle, who brought him to Rutland, where they dined, and from thence they rode vnto Flint to bed. The king had ve|rie few about him of his freends, except onelie the earle of Salisburie, the bishop of Carleill, the lord Stephan Scroope, sir Nicholas Ferebie, a sonne also of the countesse of Salisburie, and Ienico Dartois a Gascoigne that still ware the cognisance or deuise of his maister king Richard, that is to saie,A constant seruant. a white hart, and would not put it from him, neither for per|suasions nor threats; by reason whereof, when the duke of Hereford vnderstood it, he caused him to be committed to prison within the castell of Chester. This man was the last (as saieth mine author) which ware that deuise, and shewed well thereby his con|stant hart toward his maister, for the which it was thought he should haue lost his life, but yet he was pardoned, and at length reconciled to the dukes fa|uour, after he was king.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 But now to our purpose. King Richard being thus come vnto the castell of Flint, on the mondaie, the eightéenth of August, and the duke of Hereford be|ing still aduertised from houre to houre by posts, EEBO page image 501 how the earle of Northumberland sped, the morow following being tuesdaie, and the ninetéenth of Au|gust, he came thither, & mustered his armie before the kings presence, which vndoubtedlie made a passing faire shew, being verie well ordered by the lord Hen|rie Persie, that was appointed generall, or rather (as we maie call him) master of the campe, vnder the duke, of the whole armie. There were come alreadie to the castell, before the approching of the maine ar|mie, the archbishop of Canturburie, the duke of Au|marle, the earle of Worcester, and diuerse other. The archbishop entred first, and then followed the other, comming into the first ward.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The king that was walking aloft on the braies of the wals, to behold the comming of the duke a farre off, might sée, that the archbishop and the other were come, and (as he tooke it) to talke with him: where|vpon he foorthwith came downe vnto them, and be|holding that they did their due reuerence to him on their knées, he tooke them vp, and drawing the arch|bishop aside from the residue, talked with him a good while, and as it was reported, the archbishop willed him to be of good comfort, for he should be assured, not to haue anie hurt, as touching his person; but he pro|phesied not as a prelat, but as a Pilat. For, was it no hurt (thinke you) to his person, to be spoiled of his roialtie, to be deposed from his crowne, to be trans|lated from principalitie to prison, & to fall from honor into horror. All which befell him to his extreame hart greefe (no doubt:) which to increase, meanes alas there were manie; but to diminish, helps (God wot) but a few. So that he might haue said with the for|lorne man in the mercilesse seas of his miseries,

Vt fera nimboso tumüerunt aequora vento,

In medijs lacera naue relinquor aquis.
