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.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 Furthermore Richard Tracie of Todington in Glocestershire, an esquier, and verie well learned, sonne to William Tracie; doctor Ioseph an excel|lent preacher; George Ioie a Bedfordshire man, that wrote diuerse treatises concerning diuinitie, and died either in the last yeare of king Edward, or in the beginning of quéene Maries reigne, as appea|reth by master Bale; Alexander Barkleie a Scot, a notable poet, and a good rhetorician, departed this life in the yeare one thousand fiue hundred fiftie and two; William Hugh a Yorkeshireman, wrote, be|sides other things, a notable treatise called the trou|bled mans medicine, he deceassed by the bursting of a veine, in the yeare one thousand fiue hundred fortie and nine; Thomas Sternehold borne in South|hampton, turned into English méeter seuen & thir|tie psalmes chosen foorth of Dauids psalter. Of stran|gers that liued and died here in this kings daies, ex|cellentlie learned, and renowmed for such treatises as they published to the world, Martine Bucer and Paulus Fagius are most famous. To end now with this part of the booke concerning king Ed|ward, I haue thought good to set downe Ierom Car|dans verses, written as an epitaph of him (and recor|ded by master Fox in his historie) as here followeth:

Flete nefas magnum, sed toto flebilis orbe
Mortales, vester corruit omnis honor.Carmen [...] in obitum regi [...] Ed [...]ardi
Nam regum decus, & iuuenum flos, spésque bonorum,
Deliciae secli, & gloria gentis erat.
Dignus Apollineis lachrymis, doctaeque Minerua:
Flosculus heu miserè concidit ante diem.
Te cumulo dabimus musa, supremáque flentes
Munera, Melpomene tristia fata canet.

Thus farre the good and vertuous yoong prince Edward the sixt, successor to Henrie the eight of most famous memorie.

Marie the eldest daughter of king Henrie the eight successor to Edward the sixt.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 _MArie eldest daughter of K. Henrie the eight, by the ladie Katharine of Spaine, his first wife, and sister vn|to king Edward the sixt, by the fathers side, began hir reigne the sixt daie of Iulie, which daie the king hir bro|ther died, and she was pro|clamed at London (as is before remembred in the end of the historie of king Edward the sixt) the nine|teenth daie of the same moneth, [...]uéene Ma|rie proclamed. in the yeare of our Lord 1553: after the creation of the world 5520, in the fiue and thirtith yeare of Charles the fift, em|peror of Almaine, in the seuenth yéere of Henrie the second of that name K. of France, & in the eleuenth of Marie quéene of Scotland. The twentith of Iulie the duke of Northumberland being come backe to Cambridge, heard that the proclamation of queene Marie was come thither, whereof he being aduer|tised, called for a trumpetter and an herald; but none could be found. Whervpon he riding into the mar|ket place with the maior, and the lord marques of Northampton, made the proclamation himselfe, and threw vp his cap in token of ioy. Abr. Fl. ex I.S. pag. 1064. ¶ Within an houre after he had letters from the councell (as he said) that he should forthwith dismisse his armie, and not come within ten miles of London: for if he did, they would fight with him, the rumor whereof was no sooner abroad, but euerie man departed. And shortlie after, the duke was arrested in the kings college by one maister Sleg sargeant at arms.
