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.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 But now the rebels hauing thus got possession of the citie, & chased awaie the kings people, they tooke order to haue the gates kept hourelie with watch and ward of the citizens themselues, thretning them with most shamefull death, if they omitted the same. These vnrulie persons were so farre stept into all kind of beastlie outrage, that when it ramed, they would kenell vp themselues in the churches, abusing the place appointed for the seruice and worshipping of the almightie God, in most prophane and wicked manner, and neither praier nor yet threats of men or women that aduised them to modestie could take place. The kings maiestie aduertised therefore, that there was no waie to tame their diuelish and traito|rous outrage, but by force: with the aduise of his councell caused a power to be put in a readinesse, as well of his owne subiects as of strangers, namelie lancequenets, which were come to serue his maiestie against the Scots.
