Compare 1577 edition: 1 The archbishop (before he tooke his iournie into England) went to visit the French king, and to giue him thanks for his great paines and trauell sustei|ned in his cause,The French kings aduice to the arch|bish. Becket. who aduised him in no wise as yet to commit himselfe to present danger amongst his new reconciled enimies, but rather to staie till their malice were somewhat asswaged. For he perceiued by king Henries words & countenance such a deepe rooted displeasure in his hart, that he agréed to re|ceiue him into fauour rather by compulsion and a|gainst his will than otherwise.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 But when the archbishop would needs depart & go ouer into England, the French K. suffered him so to doo, dooing him all the honor he could at his leaue ta|king. Then the archbishop departing out of France, came into England, Matth. Paris. The archbi|shop Becket returneth into England. and landed at Sandwich about the first of December, in the seuenth yeare after his first departure out of the realme. Shortlie after his arriuall, Roger the archbishop of Yorke, Gilbert bi|shop of London, and Iocelin bishop of Salisburie, with diuerse other, came vnto him as to the popes le|gat, and required that it might please him to restore them to the ministration of their offices againe: whose request he granted, but yet vpon condition, that they should vndertake to stand to his iudge|ment and order in all things, which (by the counsell of the archbishop of Yorke) they vtterlie refused.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 ¶ Here authors agrée not (as Polydor trulie saith) for some write that archbishop Thomas (immediatlie vpon his returne into England) denounced the arch|bishop of Yorke with the bishops of Salisburie and London accurssed, whereas before they were depri|ued of the vse and administration of the sacraments. So [...]e [...]hers write, that now at his comming ouer into England from his [...]ile, he depriued them onlie of the ministration of the sacraments, togither with the bishops of E [...]ester, Chester, Rochester, S. Asaph, & Landa [...], which had [...]sonallie béene present at the coronation of king Henrie the sonne, to the deroga|tion of the dignitie of their primat the archbishop of Canturburie (as before you haue heard.) It shuld seeme yet by G [...]r. Doro [...]e [...]  that the archbishop of Yorke, and the bishop of Durham were suspended, and the bishops of London, Salisburie, and diuerse other excommunicated.
