Compare 1577 edition: 1 In the meane time archbishop Thomas went to the councell holden by pope Alexander at Tours in the Octaues of Pentecost,A councell at Tours. where he resigned his bi|shoprike into the popes hands (as the [...]ame went) be|ing troubled in conscience for that he had receiued it by the kings preferment. The pope allowing his purpose, committed the same pastorlike dignitie to him againe by his ecclesiasticall power, whereby the archbishop was eased verie well of his greefe, and shortlie after his returne from his councell, seemed desirous to reduce & cause to be restored such rights as he pretended to belong vnto the church of Can|turburie, whereby he ran into the displeasure of ma|nie, and namelie of the mightiest.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Moreouer he required of the king the kéeping of Rochester castell, & the custodie of the tower of Lon|don. He alledged also that Saltwood & Hith belong|ed peculiarlie to the seigniorie of his see.The archbish. practiseth tre|son secretlie. He called Roger earle of Clare vnto Westminster, to doo his homage vnto him for the castell of Tunbridge but the earle denied it through the setting on of the king,Homage for the castell of Tunbridge. alledging all the fee thereof to apperteine rather to the king than to the archbishop. Thus was the archbi|shop troubled, and he grew dailie more and more out of the kings fauour. For yee must vnderstand, that this was not the first nor the second, but the eight time that the king had shewed tokens of his displea|sure against him.

Triuet. the Welshmen rebelling with their prince Rice and his vncle Owen, did many mischéefes on the marshes: and by the death of Walter Gifford earle of Buc|kingham (who deceased this yeare without heire) that earledome came to the kings hands.
