Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 When the speaker named sir Iohn Cheinie, in re|plieng by plaine speach,Sir Iohn Cheinie spea|ker of the parlement. séemed little to esteeme such praiers of the church, the archbishop was set in a great chafe, and with sharpe words declaring what he thought must needs follow, both of the king and kingdome, when praiers and suffrages of churchmen came to be so little set by, he grew to such impatien|cie, that he flatlie told the speaker, that although he séemed little to estéeme of the religion of the cleargie, he would not haue him to thinke,The archb. chafeth. that he should take awaie the possessions of the church, without finding such as would seeke to withstand him,He spake like a [...]ord for if (said he) the archbishop of Canturburie maie liue, thou shalt haue hot taking awaie any manner of thing that is his. After this, when the archbishop perceiued that the king winked at these matters, he rose from his place and comming before the king, knéeled downe, and besought him to consider, how through the fauour and grace of the almightie God, he had atteined to the kingdome, and therefore he ought to remember his first purpose and intent, which was, to saue vnto euerie man his right, so far as in him saie.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 He willed him likewise to haue in consideration the oth which he willinglie had receiued, that is, that he should aduance the honor of the church, and the mi|nisters thereof cherish and mainteine. Also, to haue in mind the danger and dishonour that redounded to such as brake their othes: so that he besought him to permit and suffer the church to inioy the priuileges and liberties, which in time of his predecessors it had inioied, requesting him to stand in awe of that king, by whom all kings did reigne; and to feare the cen|sures and condemnation that those incurred, which tooke and bereft from the church any good or right be|longing to it, who most certeinelie (said he) are ac|cursed. When the archbishop had vsed this, or the like speach,The kings answer to the archbishop. the king commanded him to go to his seat a|gaine, assuring him, that his intent and purpose was to leaue the church in as good state, or better, than he found it.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The archbishop herewith turning to the knights and burgesses of the parlement, said vnto them;

You, and such other as you be, haue giuen counsell vnto the king and his predecessors, to confiscate and take into their hands the goods and possessions of the celles, which the Frenchmen and Normans possessed here in England, and affirmed that by the same he and they should heape vp great riches, and indéed those goods and possessions (as is to be prooued) were worth manie thousands of gold: and yet it is most true, that the king at this day is not halfe one marke of siluer the richer thereby, for you haue begged and gotten them out of his hands, and haue appropriated the same vnto your selues, so that we may coniecture verie well, that you request to haue our temporal|ties, not to aduance the kings profit, but to satisfie your owne greedie couetousnesse, for vndoubtedlie if the king (as God forbid he should) did accomplish your wicked purposes and minds, he should not be one farthing the richer the yeare next after: and tru|lie, sooner will I suffer this head of mine to be cut off from my shoulders, than that the church should lose the least right that apperteineth to it.
