Compare 1577 edition: 1 But one thing he aduised them beware, that they iudged not the matter too farre foorth, yer they knew the truth; nor turning their priuate grudges into the common hurt, irriting and prouoking men vnto an|ger, and disturbing the kings coronation, towards which the dukes were comming vp, that they might peraduenture bring the matter so farre out of ioint, that it should neuer be brought in frame againe. Which strife if it should hap (as it were likely) to come to a field, though both parties were in all other things equall; yet should the authoritie be on that side where the king is himselfe. With these persuasions of the lord Hastings, whereof part himselfe beléeued, of part he wist the contrarie, these commotions were somewhat appeased. But speciallie by that, that the dukes of Glocester and Buckingham were so neere and came so shortlie on with the king, in none other manner, with none other voice or semblance than to his coronation, causing the fame to be blowen about, that these lords and knights which were taken, had contriued the destruction of the dukes of Glocester and Buckingham, and of other the noble bloud of the realme, to the end that themselues would alone de|meane and gouerne the king at their pleasure.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 And for the colourable proofe thereof, such of the dukes seruants as rode with the carts of their stuffe that were taken (among which stuffe, no maruell though some were harnesse, which at the breaking vp of that houshold must néeds either be brought awaie or cast awaie) they shewed vnto the people all the waies as they went;
Lo here be the barrels of har|nesse that these traitors had priuilie conueid in their carriage to destroie the noble lords withall.This de|uise albeit that it made the matter to wise men more vnlikelie, well perceiuing that the intendors of such a purpose would rather haue had their harnesse on their backs, than to haue [...]ound them vp in battels, yet much part of the common people were therewith verie well satisfied, and said it were almesse to hang them.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 When the king approched néere to the citie, Ed|mund Shaw goldsmith, then maior, with William White, and Iohn Matthew shiriffes, and all the other aldermen in scarlet, with fiue hundred horsse of the citizens, in violet, receiued him reuerentlie at Har|nesie;The kings comming to London. and riding from thence accompanied him in|to the citie, which he entered the fourth daie of Maie, the first and last yeare of his reigne. But the duke of Glocester bare him in open sight so reuerentlie to the prince, with all semblance of lowlinesse, that from the great obloquie in which he was so late before, he was suddenlie fallen in so great trust, that at the councell next assembled he was made the onelie man, chosen and thought most meet to be protector of the king and his realme,The duke of Glocester made protec|tor. so that (were it destinie or were it fol|lie) the lambe was betaken to the woolfe to kéepe.
