And on the king waited fiue lords, fourtéene knights in frockes of yellow veluet, garded and bound with rich cloth of gold: and thirtie gentlemen were in like apparell on foote, and fortie officers in yellow sattin edged with cloth of gold. Thus with great triumph they entred the field. Then the coun|terpartie entred all clothed and barded in white sat|tin trauersed with cloth of gold richlie. This daie was manie a great stripe giuen. The king and sir William Kingston ranne togither; which sir Wil|liam Kingston was a strong and a tall knight, & yet the king by strength ouerthrew him to the ground. And after that the king and his aids had performed their courses, they ranne volant at all commers, which was a pleasant sight to sée.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 In this moneth of Maie were sent out of Eng|land twelue hundred masons and carpenters,A castell bu [...]ded by the king at Tor|naie. and thrée hundred laborers to the citie of Tornaie; for the king and his councell considered that the garrison that was kept there was chargeable: and therefore it was determined that there should be builded a castell to chastise the citie if they rebelled, and to minish the garrison. And therefore these workemen were sent thither, which this yéere began a strong castell, and wrought still on it. In this yéere, by the cardinall were all men called to accompt that had [...]he occupi|eng of the kings monie in the warres or elsewhere,Iustice exec [...]|ted by cardi|nal Wolsie vp [...] offendors of sundrie qua [...]|ties and de|grees. not to euerie mans contentation: for some were found in arrerages, and some saued themselues by policie and briberie, and waxed rich, and some inno|cents were punished.

These courts were greatlie haunted for a time: but at the last the people perceiued that much delaie was vsed in these courts, and few mat|ters ended, and when they were ended, they bound no man by the law; then euerie man was werie of them and resorted to the common law.
