Whilest these things were thus a dooing, king He [...]|rie was aduertised, that the Welshmen breaking the peace, did much
hurt on the marshes, & speciallie in Cheshire where they had burned two castels. Mea|ning therefore
to be reuenged on them to the vtter|most, he assembled an armie out of all parts of his realme, and entred
with the same into Wales. The Welshmen, hearing that the king was come with such puissance to inuade them,
were afraid, and forth|with sent ambassadours, beséeching him to grant them pardon and peace.The Welsh|men sue for peace. The king mooued with their humble petitions, tooke hostages of them, & remitted them for that time, considering that in
mainteining of warre against such maner of people, there was more feare of losse than hope of gaine.More doubt of losse than hope of gaine, by the warres against the Welshmen. But yet
to prouide for the quietnes of his subiects which inhabi|ted néere the marshes, that they shuld not be
ouerrun and harried dailie by them (as oftentimes before they had béene) he appointed Warren earle of
Shrewes|burie to haue the charge of the marshes, that peace might be the better kept and mainteined in
the countrie.
