Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 He accused the moonks of Canturburie, for diso|beieng the interdiction, trusting that the pope would not heare those two moonkes whom they had sent, as he did not indéed. He excommunicated also all those that had receiued the sacraments amongst them, du|ring the time of the interdiction. Now these moonkes being at their wits end, dispatched with all speed o|ther two moonkes to the pope, to obteine an absoluti|on, before the archbishop should vnderstand it: but they were sent backe againe with checks, and com|manded to obeie their archbishop in all things, as the other were, which had béene there with him be|fore.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The moonks of Canturburie that were sent to Rome, returning, came from thence to Bullongne, Geruasius. Anno Reg. 13. 1148 where they found those that were first sent thither: and so they all foure came to Canturburie. The pope also had sent a priuie commandement to the archbi|shop, EEBO page image 58 that he should duelie punish as well them as the other. Wherevpon the archbishop taking counsell with his fréends, deposed Syluester the prior, and sus|pended William the secretarie of the house from en|tring the quéere. It was decreed also, that the residue should cease so long a time from saieng seruice, as they had said it before vnlawfullie, against the arch|bishops commandement. For it was thought reason, that whilest other sang and were merrie, they should keepe silence, which wilfullie tooke vpon them to sing, whilest other held their peace and were still. They began therefore to cease from saieng diuine seruice, and from ringing their bels in the second wéeke of Lent: & so kept silence from the twelfe day of March, vntill the first day of August.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The quéene wife to king Stephan in this meane while lay much at S. Augustines in Canturburie, bicause of hastening forward the building of Feuer|sham abbeie, which she and hir husband had begonne from the verie foundation. And bicause the moonkes of S. Augustine might not celebrate diuine seruice, she called thither commonlie the moonks of Christes church to say seruice before hir. Thus much for that purpose: and now to other matters.
