Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 The earle of Warwike, and such as were come with him to Cambridge, marched directlie from thence towards Norwich, and came vnto Wimond|ham the two and twentith of August, where and by the waie the most part of all the gentlemen of Norf|folke that were at libertie, came vnto him. The next daie betimes he shewed himselfe vpon the plaine, betwixt the citie of Norwich and Eiton wood, and lodged that night at Intwood, an house belonging to sir Thomas Tresham knight, a two miles distant from Norwich. Héere they rested that daie and night following, not once putting off their armour, but re|maining still in a readinesse, if the enimies should haue made anie sudden inuasion against them. The earle of Warwike in the meane time sent the afore remembred king of armes Norreie,Norwich summoned. to summon the citie, either to open the gates that he might quietlie enter; or else to looke for warre at his hands that would then assaie to win it by force, and such reward as rebels (that wilfullie withstand their souereigne) ought to receiue.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 When Ket vnderstood that the herald was come to the gates, he appointed the maiors deputie Augu|stine Steward, and Robert Rug, two of the chéefest citizens, to go to him and to know his errand. They passing foorth at a posterne,What answer was made to the herald by the citizens of Norwich, whom Ket assigned ther|vnto. and hearing his message, made answer, that they were the miserablest men that were then liuing, as they themselues beleeued, sith that hauing suffered such calamities as they could not but tremble at in calling to remem|brance, they could not now haue libertie to declare the loiall dutie which they bare & ought to beare to the kings highnesse: so that they accompted themselues most vnfortunate, sith their hap was to liue in that season, in which they must either ieopard losse of life, or the estimation of their good name, although they trusted the kings maiestie would be gratious lord vnto them. sith they had giuen no consent vnto such wicked rebellion as was thus raised against his highnesse, but with losse of goods and perill of life so farre as in them laie, had doone what they could to kéepe the citizens in good order and dutifull obedi|ence.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 One thing more they would humblie desire of my lord of Warwike, that whereas there was no small number of Kets armie in the citie without armour or weapon, and as it should seeme irkesome and wearie of that which had béene alreadie doone, it might please him once againe to vouchsafe to offer them the kings pardon, and if he should thus doo, they had great hope that the rebels would gladlie accept it, and so the matter might be pacified without more bloudshed.Norreie the herald deliue|reth his an|swer to the earle of War|wike. Norreie returned to the earle of War|wike, and declared what answer he had receiued. The earle desirous of nothing more than to haue the matter thus taken vp, as well for other consi|derations, as for feare least the gentlemen remai|ning prisoners with the rebels, should be vnmerci|fullie murthered by their kéepers, if they came to the vttermost triall of battell, he resolued to prooue if it would thus come to passe. And heerevpon was Norreie with a trumpet sent to offer them a generall pardon, who being entered the citie, met about fortie of the rebels on horssebacke, riding two and two togither verie pleasant and merrie,Norreie king of armes sent to offer the re|bels their pardon. and so passing from S. Stephans gate vnto Bishops gate, the trumpetter sounded his trumpet, and with that, a great multitude of the rebels came thronging downe togither from the hill: to whome the horsmen spéedilie riding, commanded that they should diuide themselues, and stand in order vpon either side the waie. And as Norreie and the trumpetter, with two of the chéefe citizens entred betwixt them, they were receiued with great noise and clamour, for euerie of them putting off their hats or caps, cried; God saue king Edward, God saue king Edward.
