Compare 1577 edition: 1 The archbishop in the meane time, perceiuing that the liberties of the church were now not onelie em|bezelled, but in maner extingu [...]hed, and being losh to make any further attempt against his former dea|lings, would now (without the kings knowledge) haue departed the realme, wherevpon comming to Romnie, he tooke shipping, to haue passed ouer into France, and so to haue gone to the popes court.The archbi|shop Becke [...] would haue [...] out of the realme. But by a contrarie wind he was brought backe into England, and thereby fell further into the kings dis|pleasure than before, in so much that, whereas an ac|tion was commensed against him of late for a ma|nor, which the archbishops of Canturburie had of long time held: now the matter was so vsed, that the archbishop lost the man [...]r, and was more [...]uer con|demned to paie the ar [...]rages, and thus his troubles increased euen through his owne malaper [...]nesse and brainesicknesse; whereas all these tumults [...]ight haue béene composed and laid asléepe, if he had béene wise, peaceable, patient, and obedient. For,

Vir b [...]nus & sapiens quaerit super omnia pacem,
Vid [...]que min [...]ra pati, metuens grauiora,M. [...] sag. [...]
Ne parus ex igni seelerata incendi [...] surg [...]nt.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 In the end,The archbi|shop cited to appeare at Northamp|ton. the archbishop was cited to appeere be|fore the king at Northampton, where the king vsed him somewhat roughlie, placing his horsses at his Inne, and laid disobedience to his charge, for that he did not personallie appeare at a certeine place before his highnesse, R Houed. vpon summons giuen vnto him for the same purpose. Wherevnto though the archbishop alledged that he had sent thither a sufficient deputie to make answere for him;Sentence g [...]|uen against the archbi|shop. yet could he not be so ex|cused, but was found giltie, and his goods co [...]fiscat to the kings pleasure.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Now when the archbishop heard that sentence was in such wise pronounced against him;

What maner of iudgement (saith he) is this? Though I hold my peace, yet the age that shall hereafter follow, will not hide it in silence; for sithens the world began, it hath not beene heard, that any archbishop of Canturburie hath béene iudged in any of the king of Englands EEBO page image 71 courts for any maner of cause; partlie in regard of the dignitie and authoritie of his office, and partlie bicause he is spirituallie the father of the king and all his people. This is therefore a new forme and or|der of iudgement, that the archbishop should be iud|ged by his suffragans, or the father by his sons.
