Compare 1577 edition: 1 In this third yeare of king Henries reigne the quéene was deliuered of a sonne called William.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Anno Reg. 3When the earle of Shrewesburie was banished (as ye haue heard) the state of the realme seemed to be reduced into verie good order and quietnesse: so that king Henrie being aduanced with good successe in his affaires, was now in no feare of danger any maner of waie. Howbeit herein he somewhat dis|pleased the cleargie: Polydor. The king be|stoweth bi|shopriks. Matth. Paris. for leaning vnto his princelie authoritie, he tooke vpon him both to nominate bi|shops, and to inuest them into the possession of their sées: amongst whom was one Remclid, bishop of Hereford by the kings ordinance. This Remclid or Remeline did afterwards resigne that bishoprike to the king, bicause he was persuaded he had greatlie offended in receiuing the same at a temporall mans hands. Sim. Dunel.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Trulie not onelie king Henrie here in England, but also other princes and high potentates of the temporaltie about the same season, challenged this right of inuesting bishops and other cleargie men, as a thing due vnto them and their predecessors, with|out all prescription of time, as they alledged, which caused no small debate betwixt them and the spiritu|altie, as in that which is written thereof at large by others may more easilie appeere.
