Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The discomfi|ture gotten by the Scots at Halidon rig.In the beginning of March sir Rafe Euers lord warden of the marches after manie fortunate rodes and forraies made into Scotland, assembled now a|bout foure thousand men, & entering with the same into Scotland, was incountered at Halidon rig by the earle of Arraine and other Scotishmen, which so beset the Englishmen with thrée battels on ech side, that in the end they slue the said lord warden, with the lord Ogle,The valiant sir Rafe E|uers slaine. and a great number of other gentle|men and commons, beside prisoners, which they tooke, so that few escaped the Scotishmens hands. Among other prisoners taken,Read, alder|man of Lon|don prisoner. Richard Read an alderman of London aforesaid was one. The death of sir Rafe Euers was greatlie bemoned: for he had shewed great proofe of his valiant prowesse at sundrie times before; namelie in this yeare past, as at the taking and burning of the towne of I [...]dworth, which enter|prise was atchiued the tenth of Iune, beside diuerse other exploits fortunatelie brought to passe by his high valiancie and manhood, till his hap was at this present to finish his daies: whose life though then it tooke end, yet shall not his fame & good report (purcha|sed by martiall courage, policie, and dangerous ad|uentures) perish or decaie; as the poet trulie saith:

Parta labore volat vas [...]um bona fama per orbem,
Haec veluti Phoebus non m [...]ritura manet.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 This yeare on saint Georges daie sir Thomas Wriothestleie lord chancellor of England was made knight of the garter. Anno Reg. [...] Rich. [...] Also Trinitie terme was ad|iourned by reason of the warres, but the escheker and the court of the tenths were open, for those that were accomptable in either of the said courts.Anne Aske [...] and others ar|reigned and acquited. The thir|teenth of Iune Robert Luken seruant to sir Hum|frie Browne one of the iustices of the kings Bench, Anne Askew gentlewoman, otherwise called Anne Kime, wife to one Kime, a gentleman of Lincolne|shire, and Ione Sautereie, wife to Iohn Sautereie of London, were arreigned in the Guildhall of Lon|don, for speaking against the sacrament of the altar (as they tearmed it) contrarie to the statute of the six articles: but because no witnesse appeared against the women, nor against Luken, one onelie excepted, who was thought to accuse him rather of malice, than otherwise, they were by twelue honest substan|tiall men of the citie (sworne to passe vpon their in|dictments) cléerelie acquited and discharged.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The same daie also was a pewterer named Tho|mas Daie discharged,Thomas Daie pew|terer. by the pardon granted in the last parlement, after he had remained in prison in Newgate the space of thrée yeares now past, con|demned long before the date of the same pardon, for the article of auricular confession comprised within the same statute. About the same time, to wit the se|uenth of Iune a great armie of Frenchmen came downe to Bullongne, and néere to the hauen incam|ped themselues.Martin de Bellaie. In this armie were reckoned to be twelue thousand lanceknights, twelue thousand French footmen, six thousand Italians, foure thou|sand of legionarie soldiours of France, & a thousand or twelue hundred men of armes, beside seuen or eight hundred light horsmen. After some skirmishes not greatlie to their aduantage, they began yet to build a fort, which at length they accomplished,The new fort before Bul|logne. I. S. pag. 1031. as af|ter shall appeare. ¶About the fiue & twentith of Iune, was a great tempest in Derbishire, where thorough trées were ouerturned, & diuerse churches, chappels, and houses were vncouered. Also in Lancashire,Hailestones figured like mens heads. there fell hailestones as big as mens fists, which had diuerse prints in them, some like mens faces, some like gun holes, &c.]
