Compare 1587 edition: 1 Shortly after came king Dermote thither with Fitz Stephans and Reymonde, and there according to couenant, gaue vnto Erle Strang|bow, his daughter Eue in mariage, with the ſuc|ceſſion of his kingdome. When Waterford was thus gotten, and Leyniſter pacified, and the prin|ces of Oſſorie tamed, and a choſen power of men of warre placed in gariſon, King Dermote was become ſo terrible that none durſt ſtyrre agaynſt him.

Compare 1587 edition: 1 Dermote not yet ſatiſfyed in his moode agaynſt them of Dublin, got his army on foote, and drew towardes that Citie by the bending coaſtes of the Mountaynes of Glindelachan, auoyding the wayes that lay through the wooddes, bycauſe hee knew y^e ſame to be beſet with his enimies. Ther|fore hauing ſtill in remembrance the iniurie done to his father, kept him out of the woods, hating the Citizins of Dublin chiefely bycauſe they had trayterouſly ſlaine his father in tyme paſt, in the EEBO page image 26 middeſt of a great houſe, whither they were wont to repayre as to a place where cauſes were vſual|ly heard: and to adde a reproche to their cruell murthering of their Prince, they buried him togi|ther with a dog. At the kings approch to the city, whileſt Ambaſſadors were ſent, and that by me|diation of the Archbiſhoppe of that Citie named Laurence, a treatie of peace was in hande, while Reymond on the one ſide, and Myles Cogan a right valiant knight on the other, with their com|panies of yong luſtie ſoldiers aſſaulting y^e walles forthwith obteined the victorie, not without great ſlaughter of the Citizens,Dublin taken. the better part of them yet with Captaine Haſtulf got them to ſhipboord with their beſt goods, & haſted thẽce vnto y^e north Iles.Miles Cogan left in Dublyn to keepe the Citie. Dermote hauing thus wonne the Citie of Dublyn, & ſet things in order there, he left Miles Cogan to gouern the ſame, & marched forth togi|ther with the Erle of Pẽbroke, & the reſt of the ar|my into Methe, & entred into the confines of that countrey, waſted & ſpoiled with fire & ſworde the whole region of Methe.Rotherike ſendeth meſ|ſengers to Dermote.
