Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 When the earle of Suffolke heard what fortune thus happened to his fréends, as one in v [...]ter despaire to haue anie good successe in his pretensed enter|prise, wandred about all Germanie and France, to purchase som [...] aid and succour, if by anie means he might. But when he perceiued no stedfast ground to catch anchor hold vpon, he submitted himselfe vnder the protection of Philip archduke of Austrich. But his brother Richard, being a politike man, so wiselie ordered himselfe in this stormie tempest, that he was not intrapped either with net or snare. The king not yet out of all doubt of ciuill sedition, bicause a great number of euill disposed persons partakers of this conspiracie were fled into sundrie sanctuaries, deuised to haue all the gates of sanctuaries and pla|ces priuileged shut and locked vp, so that none should issue out from thence to perturbe and disquiet him.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 And for that intent he wrote vnto pope Alexan|der, desiring him by his authoritie to adiudge all Englishmen, being fled to sanctuarie for the offense of treason as enimies to the christian faith, interdic|ting and prohibiting the refuge and priuilege of san|ctuarie to all such, as once had enioied the libertie and protection of the same, and after that fled out, and eftsoones returned againe. Which thing after that the pope had granted, [...] restrained. turned to the great quietnesse of the king and his realme. For manie that had of|fended, for feare to fall into danger, returned to the due subiection of their prince; and other that were yet frée from perill, durst not hazard themselues so boldlie as they durst haue doone before, vpon hope of such starting holes.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 When the king had thus setled things to his owne contentation and pleasure, there suddenlie happened to him a lamentable chance. For that noble prince Arthur, the kings first begotten sonne, after he had béene maried to the ladie Katharine his wife,The death of Arthur prince of Wales. the space of fiue moneths, departed out of this transito|rie life, in his castell of Ludlow, and with great fune|rall obsequie was buried in the cathedrall church of Worcester. His brother the duke of Yorke was stai|ed from the title of Prince by the space of a moneth, till to women it might appeare whether the ladie Ka|tharine wife to the said prince Arthur was conceiued with child or not. [It is reported that this ladie Ka|tharine thought and feared such dolorous chance to come: for when she had imbraced hir father, Edw. Hall i [...] Hen. 7. fol. [...]. and ta|ken hir leaue of hir noble and prudent mother, and sailed towards England, she was continuallie so tossed and tumbled hither and thither with boisterous winds, that what for the rage of the water, and con|trarietie of the winds, hir ship was prohibited di|uerse times to approach the shore and take land.]
