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.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 But now it was thought expedient to vse their seruice against these rebels, whose power and despe|rate boldnesse was so farre increased, that without a maine armie, guided by some generall of great ex|perience, and noble conduct, it would be hard and right dangerous to subdue them: wherein violence and force was to be vsed, sith they had shewed them|selues in an extremitie of stubbornesse, like buls that by baiting are to be tamed, or like stifnecked stalions which with bit & bridle must be managed; as one saith:

Asper equus duris contunditur ora lupatis.
