Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 This also is not to be forgotten, that when infor|mation was giuen against some of the rebels, for that they had beene busie fellowes, & great dooers in time of those vprores, so as it was thought of some, that it stood with good reason to haue them punished by death, when the earle of Warwike vnderstood by credible report of Norreie king at armes, that vpon the offer of the kings pardon, they were the first that threw downe their weapons, and submitted them|selues to the kings mercie, the earle would not in a|nie wise consent that they should die, but protested frankelie that he would kéepe promise with them, and that he would be as good to them as his word: and so they had their liues saued. The same daie was order giuen by the earle that the bodies of them that were slaine in the field should be buried.The slaine carcases bu|ried. On the mor|row being the nine and twentith of August, the earle of Warwike, with the nobles and gentlemen of the armie, and others in great numbers, both men and women, went to saint Peters church, and there gaue praises and thanks to God for the victorie obteined. And this doone, he with all the armie departed out of the citie, and returned homewards with high com|mendation of citizens & others, that acknowledged the said earle to be the defendor of their liues, and re|couerer of their wiues, children, houses, and liuings.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 It was afterwards ordeined, that vpon the same daie in the which the rebels were thus subdued, the citizens yearelie should repaire to their churches, and there to heare seruice, and to haue a sermon abrode, to the which they should come togither, to giue thanks to God for their deliuerance as that daie, and this is obserued till these our times. Robert Ket and his brother William Ket were brought vp to London,The two Kets exe|cuted. where they were committed to the tower, and short|lie after arreigned of their treason and found guiltie, were brought to the tower againe, where they con|tinued till the nine and twentith of Nouember, on which daie they were deliuered to sir Edmund Windham high shiriffe of Norffolke and Suffolke, to be conueied downe into Norffolke, where Robert Ket was hanged in chains vpon the top of Norwich castell: and William Ket his brother on the top of Windmondham stéeple, in which towne they had both dwelled, and conspired with others to go for|ward with their wicked rebellion.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 This William Ket (as was thought) had beene sure of his pardon, if he had not plaied the traitorous hypocrite:William Ket a dissembling traitor. for vpon his submission at the first to my lord marquesse of Northampton, at his comming downe to suppresse this rebellion, he was sent to his brother to persuade him and the rest to yéeld, and re|ceiue the kings pardon: but he (like a dissembling wretch, although he promised to my lord to doo what he could in that behalfe) vpon his comming to his brother into the rebels campe, & beholding the great multitude that were there about him, he did one|lie not dissuade him and them from their traitorous rebellion, but incouraged them to persist and conti|nue in their dooings, declaring what a small num|ber of souldiers the marquesse brought with him, nothing able to resist such a puissance as was there assembled. So that if it had not beene thorough the wicked persuasion of him, and some others at that time, not onelie Robert Ket himselfe, but also all the multitude beside, would haue submitted themselues, and receiued the kings pardon, to the preseruation of manie a good mans life that after died in the quarrell.
