Compare 1587 edition: 1 King Edwarde ſore kyndeled in diſpleaſure with theſe attemptes of ſuche deſperate perſons,Scotlande a|gayn inuaded. reyſed an armie of thirtie thouſand men, and ſent the ſame into Scotlande vnder the leading of a right ſloute and valiant capitayne named Ra|dulph,

Radulph Cõ|fraye.

I remember not that any of the Engliſh nobilitie bare this ſurname in theſe days, wherefore I thinke it was the lord Iohn Segraue.

Io Cumyn & Symon Fraſer
