Compare 1577 edition: 1 The earle of Northumberland was now mar|ching forward with great power, which he had got thither, either to aid his sonne and brother (as was thought) or at the least towards the king, to procure a peace: but the earle of Westmerland, and sir Ro|bert Waterton knight,The earle of Westmerland raiseth a pow|er against the earle of Nor|thumberland. had got an armie on foot, and meant to meet him. The earle of Northumberland, taking neither of them to be his freend, turned sud|denlie backe, and withdrew himselfe into Warke|woorth castell. The king hauing set a staie in things about Shrewesburie, went straight to Yorke, from whence he wrote to the earle of Northumberland,The king goeth to Yorke. willing him to dismisse his companies that he had with him, and to come vnto him in peaceable wise. The earle vpon receipt of the kings letters came vn|to him the morow after saint Laurence daie,The earle of Northumber|land commeth to the king. hauing but a few of his seruants to attend him, and so excu|sed himselfe, that the king (bicause the earle had Ber|wike in his possession, and further, had his castels of Alnewike, Warkewoorth, and other, fortified with Scots) dissembled the matter, gaue him faire words, and suffered him (as saith Hall) to depart home, al|though by other it should séeme, that he was commit|ted for a time to safe custodie.

But now where the king wanted monie to furnish that enterprise, and to wage his souldiers, there were some that counselled him to be bold with the bishops, and supplie his want with their surplusage. But as it fortuned, the archbishop of Canturburie was there present, who in the name of all the rest boldlie made answer, that none of his prouince should be spoiled by anie of those naughtie disposed persons;It was spo|ken like a prelat. but that first with hard stripes they should vnderstand the price of their rash enterprise. But the king neuerthe|lesse so vsed the matter with the bishops for their good wils, that the archbishop at length to pleasure him, calling the cleargie togither,A tenth leuied of the clear|gie. got a grant of a tenth, towards the kings necessarie charges.
