Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 In this meane while, the duke of Suffolke being persuaded to ioine with other in this quarell, as he that doubted (as no small number of true English|men then did) least the pretended mariage with the Spanish king should bring the whole nobilitie and people of this realme into bondage and thraldome of strangers,The duke of Suffolke go|eth downe in|to Leicester|shire. after he was once aduertised that sir Thomas Wiat had preuented the time of their pur|posed enterprise, he secretlie one euening departed from Sheene, and rode with all spéed into Leice|stershire where in the towne of Leicester and o|ther places, hée caused proclamation to be made in semblable wise, as sir Thomas Wiat had doone, against the quéenes match which she meant to make with the said king of Spaine: but few there were that would willinglie hearken thereto. But now ye must vnderstand, that before his comming downe, he was persuaded that the citie of Couentrie would be opened vnto him,The citie of Couentrie. the more part of the citizens be|ing throughlie bent in his fauour, in so necessarie a quarell, for defense of the realme against strangers, as they were then persuaded.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 But howsoeuer it chanced, this prooued not alto|gither true: for whether through the misliking which the citizens had of the matter, or through negligence of some that were sent to sollicit them in the cause, or chieflie (as should séeme to be most true) for that God would haue it so, when the duke came with six or seuen score horssemen well appointed for the pur|pose,The duke of Suffolke kept out of Co|uentrie. presenting himselfe before the citie in hope to bée receiued, hee was kept out. For the citi|zens through comfort of the erle of Huntington that was then come downe, sent by the quéene to staie the countries from falling to the duke, and to raise a power to apprehend him, had put themselues in ar|mor, and made all the prouision they could to defend the citie against the said duke. Wherevpon percei|uing himselfe destitute of all such aid as he looked for among his friends in the two shires of Leicester and Warwike, he got him to his manour of Astleie, distant from Couentrie fiue miles, where appoin|ting his companie to disperse themselues, and to make the best shift each one for his owne safegard that he might, and distributing to euerie of them a portion of monie, according to their qualities, and his store at that present, he and the lord Iohn Greie his brother bestowed themselues in secret places there within Astleie parke; but through the vntrusti|nesse of them, to whose trust they did commit them|selues (as hath béene crediblie reported) they were bewraied to the earle of Huntington, that then was come to Couentrie,The duke of Suffolke ap|prehended. and so apprehended they were by the said earle, and afterwards brought vp to London.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The duke had meant at first to haue rid awaie (as I haue credible heard) if promise had béene kept by one of his seruants, appointed to come to him to be his guide; but when he either feining himselfe sicke, or being sloke in déed, came not, the duke was con|streined to remaine in the parke there at Astleie, ho|ping yet to get awaie after that the search had béene passed ouer, and the countrie once in quiet. Howso|euer it was, there he was taken, as is said, togither with his brother the lord Iohn Greie; but his bro|ther the lord Thomas got awaie in deed at that time,The lord Iohn Greie taken. meaning to haue fled into Wales, & there to haue got to the sea side, so to transport himselfe ouer into France, or into some other forren part. But in the borders of Wales he was likewise apprehended through his great mishap, and follie of his man that had forgot his capcase with monie behind him in his chamber one morning at his inne; and comming for it againe, vpon examination what he should be, it was mistrusted that his maister should be some such man, as he was in déed, and so was staied, ta|ken,The lord Thomas Greie taken. and brought vp to London, where he suffered; as after shall appeare.
