Compare 1577 edition: 1 The bishop elect of Mur|reie sent to the duke of Glocester.The Scotish lords, vpon this answer and demands of the duke of Glocester, sent to him the elect of Mur|reie, and the lord Dernleie, which excused the matter touching the repaiment of the monie: for that the time of the lawfull contract of the said mariage was not yet come, and no daie appointed for the monie to be paied before the contract begun. But for further assurance either for the contract to be made, or for the paiment of the monie, they promised therevnto accordinglie (as reason should require) to agree. Se|condarilie, as touching the castell of Berwike, they alledged that it apperteined to the realme of Scot|land, as the old inheritance of the same.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The duke, notwithstanding all that they could saie, would agrée to no peace, except the castell of Berwike might be deliuered to the K. of England. And so the messengers departed. The same daie the archbishop of S. Andrews, the bishop of Dunkeld, Colin earle of Argile, lord Campbell, and lord An|drew lord of Anandale chancellor of Scotland, wrote to the duke of Albanie, a solemne and an autenticall instrument, signed and sealed with their hands and seales, concerning a generall pardon to him and his seruants, vpon certeine conditions to be granted; which conditions seemed to be so reasonable, that the duke of Albanie, desirous to be restored to his old estate, possessions, and natiue countrie, willinglie accepted the same.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 But before he departed from the duke of Glo|cester, he promised both by word and writing of his owne hand, to doo and performe all such things, as he before that time had sworne and promised to king Edward: notwithstanding anie agréement now made, or after to be made with the lords of Scot|land. And for performance of the effect hereof, he a|gaine tooke a corporall oth, and sealed the writing be|fore the duke of Glocester, in the English campe at Leuington besides Hadington,The duke of Albanie re|stored home. the third daie of Au|gust, in the yeare 1482. After he was restored, the lords of Scotland proclamed him great lieutenant of Scotland;He is created great lieute|nant of Scot|land. and in the kings name made proclama|tion, that all men within eight daies should be readie at Craushaus, both to raise the siege before the ca|stell, and for the recouering againe of the towne of Berwike.
