Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 The rebels that stood by and heard him, when he had once made an end of his proclamation, bade him get him thense with a mischiefe:The traito|rous refusall of the rebels to accept the kings pardon. for it was not his faire offers, nor his swéet flattering words that should beguile them, sith they made no account of such manner of mercie, that vnder a colour of par|don, should cut off all their safetie and hope of preser|seruation. The herald perceiuing how obstinatelie they were bent, and set on all mischiefe, and that it was vnpossible to bring them from their outragious treason, either through feare of punishment or hope of pardon, departed; without hauing brought that to passe for which he was sent. Immediatlie after his departure, the rebels sought for Leonard Souther|ton, purposing to haue apprehended him, and com|mitted him to prison, for accompanieng the herald thitherwards. But he hauing knowledge of their meaning, hid himselfe from them.

Ket perceiuing well that he must either now obteine a bloodie victorie by force against his countrie, or else to tast such an end as his vn|gratious attempts did well deserue, got togither so manie wicked persons as he might procure to come vnto him from ech side, with great rewards and faire promises:Kets power increaseth. so that it was a strange matter to consider what a multitude of vnthrifts and rascalles came to him vpon the sudden.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The citizens of Norwich were sore displeased, that their maior (being an honest man, and one greatlie beloued among them) should be imprisoned, and so remaine in danger of life among the rebels: for they threatned him sore, & ies [...]ing at his name, would saie one to another; Let vs all come togither to morrow, for we shall sée a Alluding to the maior whose name was Cod. cods hed sold in the campe for a pe|nie. Wherevpon the citizens fearing least through the malice and rage of the rebels, their maior might chance to be made awaie among them, procured maister Thomas Alderich (whose authoritie was great among them) to be a meane for his deliue|rance: who comming to Ket with sharpe and bitter EEBO page image 1033 words reprooued him for his cruell dealing, by im|prisoning so honest a man as the maior was,The maior of Norwich set [...]. and withall commanded him to release him: which either for shame, or rather through feare of a guiltie consci|ence that pricked him, he caused incontinentlie to be doone: who therevpon might now and then go and come at his pleasure to and fro the citie. But bicause he could not still remaine in the citie, but was con|streined to continue for the most part in the campe, he appointed Augustine Steward to be his deputie, who with the assistance of Henrie Bacon, and Iohn Atkinson shiriffes,Augustine Steward. gouerned the citie right orderlie, and kept the most part of the citizens in due obei|sance.
