Where|fore he commanded in the same letters or writs, vp|on forfeiture of all that the said shiriffe might forfeit, he should pursue the said rebels, that is, the earles of Lancaster and Hereford, the lords Roger Damorie, Hugh Andelie the yoonger, Iohn de Mowbraie, Bar|tholomew de Badelismere, Roger de Clifford, Iohn Gifford de Brimesfield, Henrie Tieis, and all and e|uerie other person or persons that were of their con|federacie, or in their companies; causing hue and crie to be raised vpon them,Hue and crie. in what part soeuer they might be heard of, and in all places where the said shiriffe should thinke it expedient, and to inioine and streightlie command all and singular persons, the said rebels and enimies to pursue, take and arrest, and them to deliuer vnto the said shiriffe, and that such as were not able to pursue them, yet with hand or horne they should leuie hue and crie against them, in paine that being found negligent herein, to be ac|compted for fauourers and adherents to the said re|bels and traitors, and that the said shiriffe should ther|vpon apprehend them, and put them in prison. The writ was dated at Tutburie the eleuenth of March, and the like writs were directed and sent foorth to all other shiriffes through the realme, and likewise to the bishop of Durham, and to the iustice of Chester.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Beside this, he directed also other writs to the said shiriffes and others, that although he had béene con|streined to passe in forceable wise through diuerse parts of his realme, and the marches of Wales, to suppresse the malicious rebellion of diuerse his sub|iects, and that as yet he was constreined to conti|nue his iournie in such forceable wise, neuertheles his pleasure was, that the peace should be mainteined and kept throughout his realme, with the statutes, lawes and customes inuiolated, and therfore he com|manded the said shiriffes, that they should cause the same to be proclaimed in places where was thought most expedient, as well within liberties as without,Proclamati|ons made for the peace to be kept. inhibiting that any maner of person, of what state or condition soeuer he was, vpon paine that might fall thereon, to attempt any thing to the breach of peace; but that euerie man should séeke to mainteine and preserue the peace and tranquillitie of the people, with the statutes, lawes and good customes of the land, to the vttermost of his power: this alwaies ob|serued, that the rebels, wheresoeuer they might be found, should be arrested, and committed to safe cu|stodie. The daie of this writ was at Tutburie afore|said on the twelfth of March.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The lord Roger Damorie laie sicke in his bed at the same time in the priorie of Tutburie,The lord Damorie de|parted th [...] life. who after he had heard what iudgement the king had pronounced against him, departed this life within two daies af|ter. But the earles of Lancaster and Hereford, with other in their companie that fled from the discomfi|ture at Burton, lost manie men and horsses in their flieng away, by reason of such pursuit as was made after them. Diuerse of them that had taken part with the lords against the king, came now and sub|mitted themselues vnto him, amongst the which were sir Gilbert de Ellesfield,Sir Gilbert de Ellesfield & sir Robert Helland [...] them|selues to the king. and sir Robert Hel|land knights. The king yet had the said Holland in some suspicion, bicause he had promised to haue come to him before. The earle of Lancaster had sent him at this time to raise his tenants in Lancashire, and to bring them vnto him, but he deceiued him, and came not to him at all, wherevpon the earles of Lan|caster and Hereford, with the other barons,The earle [...] [...] Lancas [...] [...] Hereford came to Pomfr [...]t. being come vnto Pom [...]ret, fell to councell in the Friers there, and finallie, after much debating of the matter, and considering how by the vntrue dealing of the said Robert Holland, their side was much weakened, it was concluded, that they should go to the castell of Dunstanborough, and there remaine till they might purchase the kings pardon, sith their enterprise thus quailed vnder their hands: and herewith setting for|ward that waie foorth, they came to Borough bridge, Rich.
