The duke of Northumber|land writeth for more suc|cours.The duke thought long for his succors, and wrote somewhat sharplie to the councell at the tower in that behalfe, as well for lacke of men as munition, but a slender answer had he againe. And from that time forward, certeine of the councell, to wit, the erle of Penbroke, and sir Thomas Cheineie lord war|den, and other, sought to get out of the tower to con|sult in London, but could not. On the sixtéenth of Iulie, being sundaie, doctor Ridleie bishop of Lon|don,Doctor Rid|leie persua|deth the peo|ple in the title of queene Iane, &c. by commandement of the councell, preached at Paules crosse, where he vehementlie persuaded the people in the title of the ladie Iane, late proclamed quéene, and inueied earnestlie against the title of la|die Marie, &c. The same sixteenth of Iulie, the lord treasuror was gone out of the tower to his house in London at night, and foorthwith about seauen of the clocke the gates of the tower vpon a sudden were shut vp, and the keies borne vp to the ladie Iane, which was for feare of some packing in the lord trea|suror: but he was fetched againe to the tower about twelue of the clocke in the night.]

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The lords of the councell, being in this meane while at London,The lords of the councell suspecting that all would go against them, procla|med the ladie Marie quéen. after they vnderstood how the bet|ter part of the realme were inclined, and hearing euerie daie newes of great assemblies, began to sus|pect the sequell of this enterprise. So that prouiding for their owne suertie, without respect of the duke (who now was at Burie) they fell to a new councell, and lastlie by assent made proclamation at London in the name of the ladie Marie, by the name of Ma|rie quéene of England, France, & Ireland, defender of the faith, & of the churches of England & Ireland supreme head. Of which proclamation, after the duke of Northumberland, being then at Burie, was ad|uertised by letters of discomfort from the councell, he incontinentlie, according to the new order recei|ued from them, returned with his power againe to Cambridge. Now so sudden change of minds foorth|with appeared in his armie, that they which before séemed most forward in that quarrell, began first to flie from him, & so euerie man shifting for himselfe, he that late before was furnished of such multitude of souldiers, was suddenlie forsaken of all sauing a few, whose perils were ioined with his.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 But now before I proceed anie further in the hi|storie of quéene Marie, who was now receiued and proclamed quéene, as then to succeed hir brother, I will speake somewhat of the learned men that wrote & published anie pamphlets or treatises in his daies,Learned [...] that wrote [...] the reigne of king Ed|ward. as in deed there were manie: but for that the more part of them died in quéene Maries time, or in the quéenes maiesties time that now is, or else are yet liuing, I doo omit those here, meaning to speake of them hereafter, if God shall permit, as occasion maie serue. For the residue that ended their liues in this kings daies, these I find: Dauid Clapham a lawyer and well séene in the Latine toong, wrote sundrie treatises; Robert Talbot a prebendarie of Norwich, verie skilfull in antiquities; Edward Hall a counsellor in the common law, but excellent|lie séene in histories, wrote a notable chronicle of the vnion of the two houses of Yorke & Lancaster.
