Compare 1577 edition: 1 At the last stepped vp a wise and good citizen, na|med (as maister Fox saith) George Stadlow, [...] Stad+ [...] citizen of L [...]don [...] answer [...] recorder [...] London [...] and [...]. and said thus. In this case it is good for vs to thinke of things past to auoid the danger of things to come. I remember (saith he) in a storie written in Fabians chronicle, of the warre betwéene the king and his ba|rons, which was in the time of king Henrie the third, and the same time the barons (as our lords doo now) commanded aid of the maior and citie of Lon|don, and that in a rightfull cause for the common|weale, which was for the execution of diuerse good lawes, wherevnto the king before had giuen his con|sent, and after would not suffer them to take place, and the citie did aid the lords. Now it came to an o|pen battell, wherein the lords preuailed, and tooke the king and his sonne prisoners, and vpon certeine conditions the lords restored againe the king and his sonne to their liberties. And among all other condi|tions, this was one, that the king should not onelie grant his pardon to the lords, but also to the citizens of London, which was granted, yea and the same ratified by act of parlement. But what followed?

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Was it forgotten? No suerlie, nor yet forgiuen during the kings life. [...]hat it is to [...] into the [...] and [...] pleasure [...] the prince. The liberties of the citie were taken awaie, strangers appointed to be our heads and gouernours, the citizens giuen awaie bodie and goods, and from one persecution to another were most miserablie afflicted: such it is to enter into the wrath of a prince, as Salomon saith; The wrath and indignation of a prince is death. Wherefore forso|much as this aid is required of the kings maiestie, whose voice we ought to hearken vnto (for he is our high shepheard) rather than vnto the lords:The aduise [...] George [...]radlow. and yet I would not wish the lords to be clearlie shaken off, but that they with vs, and we with them may ioine in sute, and make our most humble petition to the kings maiestie, that it would please his highnesse, to heare such complaint against the gouernement of the lord protector as may be iustlie alledged and proo|ued. And I doubt not but this matter will be so paci|fied, that neither shall the king nor yet the lords haue cause to séeke for further aid, neither we to offend a|nie of them both. After this tale the commons staied, and the lord maior & his brethren for that time brake vp, and afterward communed with the lords.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Sir Philip [...] sent to [...] king by [...] lords.The lords sat the next daie in councell in the Star chamber, and from thence they sent sir Philip Hobbie with their letters of credence to the kings maiestie, beséeching his highnesse to giue credit to that which the said Philip should declare vnto his maiestie in their names: & the king gaue him libertie to speake, and most gentlie heard all that he had to saie. And trulie he did so wiselie declare his message and so grauelie told his tale in the name of the lords, yea therewithall so vehementlie and gréeuouslie against the protector, who was also there present by the king, that in the end, the lord protector was commanded from the kings presence, and shortlie was commit|ted to ward in a tower within the castell of Wind|sore called Beauchamps tower. And soone after were staied sir Thomas Smith, sir Michaell Stanhope,The lord pro|tector commit|ted to prison. and sir Iohn Thin knights, master Whalleie, ma|ster Fisher, Woolfe of the priuie chamber, Graie of Reading, and diuers other gentlemen that attended vpon the lord protector. And the same daie the lords of the councell came to Windsore to the king, and the next daie they brought from thence the lord protector, and the other that were there staied, and conueied them through the citie of London, with as much woonderment as might be, vnto the tower, where they remained prisoners.
