Compare 1577 edition: 1 At the time of this quéenes coronation,A pardon with excep|tions. there was published a generall pardon in hir name, being in|terlaced with so manie exceptions, as they that née|ded the same most, tooke smallest benefit thereby. In which were excepted by name no small number, not onelie of bishops and other of the cleargie, namelie the archbishops of Canturburie and Yorke, the bi|shop of London, but also manie lords, knights, and gentlemen of the laitie, beside the two chiefe iustices of England called sir Edward Montacute, and sir Roger Cholmeleie, with some other learned men in the law, for counselling, or at the least consenting to the depriuation of quéene Marie, and aiding of the foresaid duke of Northumberland, in the pretensed right of the before named ladie Iane, the names of which persons so being excepted, I haue omitted for shortnesse sake.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 As soone as this pardon was published,Commissio|ners. and the so|lemnitie of the feast of the coronation ended, there were certeine commissioners assigned to take order with all such persons as were excepted out of the par|don, and others, to compound with the queene for their seuerall offenses. Which commissioners sat at the deane of Paules his house, at the west end of Paules church, and there called before them the said persons apart, and from some they tooke their fees and offices granted before by king Edward the sixt, and yet neuerthelesse putting them to their fines: and some they committed to ward, depriuing them of their states and liuings: so that for the time, to those that tasted thereof, it seemed verie grieuous. God deliuer vs from incurring the like danger of law againe. The fift daie of October next following,A parlement. the quéene held hir hie court of parlement at West|minster, EEBO page image 1092 which continued vntill the one and twentith daie of the said moneth.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 In the first session of which parlement, there pas|sed no more acts but one, and that was, to declare queene Marie lawfull heire in descent to the crowne of England by the common lawes, next after hir brother king Edward;Treason. Felonie. Premunire. and to repeale certeine cau|ses of treason, fellonie, and premunire, conteined in diuers former statutes: the which act of repeale was, for that cardinall Poole was especiallie looked for (as after ye shall heare) for the reducing of the church of England to the popes obedience: and to the end that the said cardinall now called into England from Rome, might hold his courts legantine without the danger of the statutes of the premunire, made in that case, whereinto cardinall Wolseie (when he was legat) had incurred to his no small losse, and to the charge of all the clergie of England, for exerci|sing the like power:The parle|ment proro|ged. the which act being once passed, foorthwith the queene repaired to the parlement house, and gaue therevnto hir roiall assent, and then proroged the parlement vnto the foure and twentith daie of the said moneth. In which second session were confirmed and made diuerse and sundrie statutes concerning religion, wherof some were restored, and other repealed.
