Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The greatest helpe that made for the ladie Marie, was the short iourneies of the duke, which by com|mission were assigned vnto him before, as aboue is mentioned: and happilie not without the politike forecast of some in fauour of the ladie Marie: for the longer the duke lingered in his voiage,The old pro|uerbe ver [...]fied Delaie brée|deth danger. the ladie ma|rie the more increased in puissance, the hearts of the people being mightilie bent vnto hir. Whervpon she in the meane time remaining at Fremingham, and hearing of this preparation against hir, gathered to|gither such power of the noblemen & other hir fréends in that countrie, as she could get. And first of all, the noblemen that came vnto hir aid, were the earles of Sussex, Bath, and Oxford, the lord Wentworth, sir Thomas Cornewallis, sir Henrie Ierningham, sir William Walgraue, with diuerse other gentlemen and commons of the counties of Norffolke and Suf|folke. Here (as master Fox noteth) the Suffolke men being the first that resorted to hir,Suffolke men the first that resorted to the ladie Marie. promised hir their aid and helpe to the vttermost of their powers, so that she would not go about to alter the religion which hir brother had established, and was now vsed and exercised through the realme. To this condition she agréed, with such promise, as no man would haue doubted that anie innouation of matters in religi|on should haue followed, by hir sufferance or pro|curement during hir reigne: but how soone shée forgat that promise, it shall shortlie after plainelie appeare.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 In this meane season, the lord Windsor,Assistants to the ladie Marie. sir Ed|mund Peckham, sir Robert Drurie, and sir Edward Hastings, raised the commoners of the shire of Buckingham; vnto whome sir Iohn Williams, which afterward was lord Williams of Thame, EEBO page image 1087 and sir Leonard Chamberleine, with the cheefe pow|er of Oxfordshire. And out of Northamptonshire came sir Thomas Tresham, and a great number of gentlemen out of diuerse parts, whose names were too long to rehearse. These capteins with their com|panies being thus assembled in warlike manner, marched forward towards Norffolke to the aid of the ladie Marie, and the further they went, the more their power increased.

¶About this time six ships well manned, that were appointed to lie before Yarmouth, Abr. Fl. ex I.S pag. 1062. and to haue taken the ladie Marie if she had fled that waie, were by force of weather driuen into the hauen, where one maister Ierningham was raising power on the la|die Maries behalfe, who hearing therof, came thither. Whervpon the capteins tooke a bote and went to the ships, but the sailers and souldiers asked master Ier|ningham what he would haue,Aid by wind and wether for quéene Marie that was bent against hir. and whether he would haue their capteins or no, and he said yea. Marrie said they, ye shall haue them or we will throw them into the bottome of the sea. But the capteins said foorthwith, that they would serue quéene Marie wil|linglie, and so brought foorth their men, and conueied with them their great ordinance. Of the comming of these ships the ladie Marie was woonderfull ioi|ous, & afterward doubted little the dukes puissance: but when newes thereof was brought to the tower, each man there began to draw backward: and ouer that, word of a greater mischeefe was brought to the tower: that is to saie, that the noblemens tenants refused to serue their lords against quéene Marie.
