Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 But at the same time, to his further disquieting, there was a conspiracie put in practise against him at home by the earle of Northumberland,A new cõspi|racie against king Henrie by the earle of Northumber|land & others. who had conspired with Richard Scroope archbishop of Yorke Thomas Mowbraie earle marshall sonne to Tho|mas duke of Norfolke, who for the quarrell betwixt him and king Henrie had béene banished (as ye haue heard) the lords Hastings, Fauconbridge, Ber|dolfe, and diuerse others. It was appointed that they should meet altogither with their whole power, vpon Yorke swold, at a daie assigned, and that the earle of Northumberland should be cheefteine, promising to bring with him a great number of Scots. The arch|bishop accompanied with the earle marshall, deuised certeine articles of such matters, as it was supposed that not onelie the commonaltie of the Realme, but also the nobilitie found themselues gréeued with: which articles they shewed first vnto such of their ad|herents as were néere about them, & after sent them abroad to their fréends further off, assuring them that for redresse of such oppressions, they would shed the last drop of blood in their bodies, if néed were.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The archbishop not meaning to staie after he saw himselfe accompanied with a great number of men,The archbi|shop of Yorke one of the cheéfe conspi|rators. that came flocking to Yorke to take his part in this quarrell, foorthwith discouered his enterprise, causing the articles aforsaid to be set vp in the publike stréets of the citie of Yorke, and vpon the gates of the mo|nasteries, that ech man might vnderstand the cause that mooued him to rise in armes against the king, the reforming whereof did not yet apperteine vnto him. Herevpon knights, esquiers, gentlemen, yeo|men, and other of the commons, as well of the citie, townes and countries about, being allured either for desire of change, or else for desire to see a refor|mation in such things as were mentioned in the ar|ticles, assembled togither in great numbers; and the archbishop comming foorth amongst them clad in ar|mor, incouraged, exhorted,The archbi|shop in armor. and (by all meanes he could) pricked them foorth to take the enterprise in hand, and manfullie to continue in their begun pur|pose, promising forgiuenesse of sinnes to all them, whose hap it was to die in the quarrell: and thus not onelie all the citizens of Yorke, but all other in the countries about, that were able to beare weapon, came to the archbishop, and the earle marshall. In déed the respect that men had to the archbishop,The estima|tion which men had of the archbishop of Yorke. cau|sed them to like the better of the cause, since the grauitie of his age, his integritie of life, and incom|parable learning, with the reuerend aspect of his a|miable personage, mooued all men to haue him in no small estimation.
