Compare 1587 edition: 1 In this fight when they had continued a long ſpace, and ſhewed right notable proofes of theyr manhood:Canutes words to Edmond I|ronſide. Edmund (ſayth Canute) ſithe it hath pleaſed almighty God, yt thou ſhouldſt thus trie the force of my hande without hurte or wound, I thinke it be likewiſe his pleaſure, that thou ſhouldeſt enioy parte of the realme, go to there|fore, I receyue thee as partener with me in the kingdome, ſo that (if thou be ſo contented) let vs diuide the kingdome betwixte vs without any more contention.
Compare 1587 edition: 1 Edmund gladly accepted this condition of agreement, ſuppoſing it better to haue halfe the kingdome, than to ſtande to the doubtfull triall of loſing the whole, for he had receyued a wound at Canutes handes, though Canute vnderſtoode not ſo muche: agayne he foreſaw that occaſion hereafter might be offered, whereby he mighte without all trouble come to enioy the whole.
