Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The lord marquesse and the residue that escaped, made the best shift they could to get out of danger; and at length, he and the most part of them that EEBO page image 1035 went foorth with him, came to London. The rebels hauing thus repelled the lord marquesse & his power, set fire on the citie, whereby manie faire buildings were consumed and burnt. It happened yet well the same time, that there fell great abundance of raine, the which holpe in part to quench the rage of the fire. Neuertheles, all the houses on either side of Holmes stréet, and the hospitall of the poore; also Bishops gate, Pockthorpe gate, Magdalene gate, and Bearestréet gate, with manie other houses in other parts of the citie, were burned, and fowlie defaced with fire. The citizens were brought into such extreame miserie, that they knew not which waie to turne them. Some there were that fled out of the citie, taking with them their gold and siluer, and such short ware as they might conueie awaie with them, abandoning wife and children, to rest at the mercie of the rebels. Other hid their goods in wels, priuies, and other such secret places out of the waie.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The rebels entering into the houses of such as were knowne to be wealthie men, spoiled and bare awaie all that might be found of anie value. But to speake of all the cruell parts which they plaied, it would be tedious to expresse the same, their dooings were so wicked and outragious. There was shooting, howling,The misera|ble estate of Norwich. and wringing among them, wéeping, and crieng out of women and children. To be short, the staie of the citie at that present was most mise|rable. The maiors deputie kept himselfe close in his house, and might behold all this mischiefe and de|struction of the citie, but durst not come abroad, nor go about to staie them: at length, a great multitude of the rebels that were come downe frõ their campe, entering by saint Augustines gate, came straight to his house, and stroue to breake open the doores: but when they could not easilie bring their purpose to passe that waie foorth, they began to fire the house. Wherevpon for feare to be burned within his owne lodging,The alder|mans depu| [...] roughlie handled to tell where the lord marquesse had hidden him|self. he set open the doores, and in came those vn|manerlie ghests, tooke him, plucked his gowne be|side his backe, called him traitor, and threatened to kill him, if he would not tell them where the lord marquesse of Northampton had hidden himselfe.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 And when he had told them that vndoubtedlie he and all his companie were gone, they were in a great rage, and with terrible noise and rumbling they sought euerie corner of the house for him, and taking what they found, they departed. But yet ma|nie of them afterwards partlie pacified for a péece of monie, and other things which they receiued of the maior, and partlie reprooued for the wrongfull robbe|ries by some that were in credit among them, they brought againe such packs and fardels as they had trussed vp togither, and threw them into the shops of those houses, out of the which they had taken the same before: but yet there were diuers of the citizens that were spoiled of all that they had by those rebels, that entered their houses vnder a colour to séeke for the marquesse of Northamptons men. Namelie, the houses of those citizens that were fled, were spoiled and ransacked most miserablie, for they reputed and called them traitors and enimies to their king and countrie, that thus had forsaken their houses and dwellings in time of such necessitie: [...] mini| [...]red to the re|bels for feare [...] force. yet manie of the citizens bringing foorth bread, beere, and other vit|tels vnto the rebels to refresh them with, somewhat calmed their furious rage, and so escaped their vio|lent hands, although no small number were so fleesed (as before yee haue heard) that they haue liued the woorse for it all the daies of their life since that time.
