Compare 1577 edition: 1 The king vpon knowledge that the archbishop was fled the realme,Gilbert Fol|lioth bishop of London was sent to the French king. sent Gilbert Follioth bishop of London, and William earle of Arundell in spe [...]die ambassage to the king of France, to signifie vnto him the whole matter and circumstance of the fal|ling out betwixt him and the archbishop, requiring him not to receiue the archbishop into his realme, but this request was little regarded of the French king, as appeared: for the archbishops cause was fa|uoured of manie, and the blame imputed to king Henrie, so that the archbishop found great grace with the French king, and no small fauour at the hands of the pope.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Now when king Henrie heard that he was accu|sed by the archbishop vnto the pope, he appointed Ro|ger archbishop of Yorke,Additions to Iohn Pike. Matth. Paris Ger. Dor. the foresaid Gilbert bishop of London, Hilarius bishop of Chichester, Roger bi|shop of Worcester, Bartholomew bishop of Exce|ster, with diuerse bishops, deanes, archdeacons, & o|ther learned men of good accompt, to the number of 15. to passe in ambassage vnto the pope, that they might excuse his dooings, and burden the archbishop with the note of rebellion, whereof he had good proofe.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Being admitted to declare their message in the consistorie before the pope,Roger archbi|shop of Yorke with others, are sent to the pope. they opened the whole cir|cumstance of the matter, from the beginning to the end, declaring that betwixt Thomas the archbishop of Canturburie and the king there was a controuer|sie moued, and by both their consents a daie appoin|ted for the hearing and determining thereof, as iu|stice should require. At the which daie (by the kings commandement) all the chéefest lords of the realme both spirituall and temporall were assembled, to the end that the more generall the méeting should be, the more manifest might the discouerie of the fraud and malice of the archbishop appeere.
