Compare 1587 edition: 1 Herevpon Ormonde perceyuing, that the Gouernour perſiſted in his purpoſe, addreſſed Letters of complaynte to ſuche as were of the priuie Counſayle in Englande,Ormonde his [...]ters inter|cepted. whiche letters were by one of Sir Anthonie his friendes inter|cepted at Sea, and preſented to him to bee per|vſed.

Compare 1587 edition: 1 Sir Anthonie hauing ouerread the wry|tings, ſent Maiſter Baſnet in poſt haſt with the packet to Kylkenny, where the Earle of Or|monde kept his Chriſtmaſſe, requeſting hys Lordſhippe to take in good parte the opening of hys Letters, which was done rather to learne the effect of his complaynte, than in any ſort to invar his writings from comming to the coun|ſaile his handes.

Compare 1587 edition: 1 The Earle anſwered that his quarell was ſo good, his dealing ſo opẽ, as he little weighed, who tooke a view of his letters. And for hys part, what he wrote hee ment not to vnwryte, but in ſuch ſort as they came from the Gouer|nour, they ſhould be ſent to the Counſaile, and if theyr honours woulde allow any Subiect to bee ſo bardie, as to entercepte and open Letters that were to them indorced, hee coulde not but dygeſt any ſuch iniurie, that they woulde ſeeme to beare.
