Also on the 26. day of Ianuarie, there chanced a maruellous earthquake in Northfolke, in the Ile of Elie, and in Suffolke, so that men as they stood on the ground were ouerthrowne therewith, and buildings so sha|ken, that the belles in stéeples knolled: the like had also chanced in the Aduent season then last before passed.

The Welshmen perceiuing them|selues now to be brought into such ieopardie, as that they could not well deuise how to escape the same, consulted what was best to be doone. After consulta|tion, casting awaie their weapons, they came foorth to the king, asking mercie; which somewhat hardlie they obteined. Few of them were executed in com|parison of the numbers that offended: but yet the capteines and chéefe authors of this rebellion were so punished, that it was thought they would neuer haue presumed so rashlie to offend him in like sort a|gaine.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 But yet I find in other authors, that in this iour|nie king Henrie did not greatlie preuaile against his enimies, but rather lost manie of his men of warre, both horssemen and footmen: for by his seuere proceeding against them, he rather made them more eger to séeke reuenge, than quieted them in any tu|mult.
