Compare 1577 edition: 1 The sargeant thus hardlie intreated, made returne to the parlement house, and finding the speaker, and all the burgesses set in their places, declared vnto them the whole case as it fell, who tooke the same in so ill part, that they altogither (of whome there were not a few, as well of the kings priuie councell, as al|so of his priuie chamber) would sit no longer without their burges, but rose vp wholie, and repaired to the vpper house, where the whole case was declared by the mouth of the speaker,The speaker of the parle|ment decla|reth all the matter to the lords. before sir Thomas Aud|leie knight then lord chancellor of England, and all the lords and iudges there assembled, who iudging the contempt to be verie great, referred the punishment thereof to the order of the common house. They re|turning to their places againe, vpon new debate of the case, tooke order, that their sargeant should eft|soones repaire to the shiriffe of London, and require deliuerie of the said burgesse, without anie writ or warrant had for the same, but onelie as afore.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 And yet the lord chancellor offered there to grant a writ, which they of the common house refused, being in a cléere opinion, that all commandements and o|ther acts of procéeding from the nether house, were to be doone and executed by their sargeant without writ, onelie by shew of his mace, which was his war|rant. But before the sargeants returne into Lon|don, the shiriffes hauing intelligence how heinouslie the matter was taken,The shiriffes deliuer the burgesse and are charged to appéere be|fore the spea|ker. became somwhat more mild, so as vpon the said second demand, they deliuered the prisoner without anie deniall. But the sargeant hauing then further in commandement from those of the nether house, charged the said shiriffes to ap|peere personallie on the morrow, by eight of the clocke before the speaker in the nether house, and to bring thither the clearks of the counter, and such officers as were parties to the said affraie, and in like manner to take into his custodie the said White, which wittinglie procured the said arest, in contempt of the priuilege of the parlement.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Which commandement being doone by the said sargeant accordinglie, on the morrow the two shi|riffes, with one of the clearks of the counter (which was the chiefe occasion of the said affraie) togither with the said White, appeered in the common house, where the speaker charging them with their con|tempt and misdemeanor aforesaid, they were com|pelled to make immediat answer, without being ad|mitted to anie counsell. Albeit, sir Roger Cholmelcie, then recorder of London, and other of the councell of the citie there present, offered to speake in the cause, which were all put to silence, and none suffered to speake, but the parties themselues: wherevpon in conclusion,The shiriffes committed to the Tower. the said shiriffes and the same White, were committed to the Tower of London, and the said clearke (which was the occasion of the affraie) to a place there called litle ease, and the officer of Lon|don which did the arrest, called Tailor, with foure o|ther officers to Newgate, where they remained from the eight & twentith vntill the thirtith of March, and then they were deliuered, not without humble sute made by the maior of London & other their fréends.
