Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 There increased therefore in the king an inward hatred, which he conceiued against the lords, these men putting into his eare, that he was like no king but rather resembled the shadow of one; saieng, it would come to passe that he should be able to doo no|thing of himselfe, if the lords might inioy the autho|ritie which they had taken vpon them. The king gaue credit to these tales, and therefore had the lords in great gelousie, notwithstanding they were thought to be his most true and faithfull subiects, and the o|ther craftie, deceitfull, and vntrustie; but such an affe|ction had the king to them, that no informations, nor accusations, though neuer so manifestlie prooued, could bring them out of his fauour, in so much as at the feast of Christmasse next following, he caused the earle of Suffolke to sit with him at his owne table, in robes accustomablie appointed for kings to weare, and not for meaner estates, which was much noted, and no little increased the enuie against him.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 About the beginning of March in this tenth yeere, Richard earle of Arundell, being appointed lord ad|merall,The earle of Arundell go|eth to the sea with 500 men of armes and a thousand ar|chers as Frois|sard noteth. & Thomas Mowbraie earle of Notingham, the earle of Deuonshire, and the bishop of Norwich (as Froissard saith) went to the sea with a warlike power of men of armes and archers, so well trimmed and appointed as was possible.

And when to the aduancement of the realms commoditie they should haue incountered the enimies, they shifted off all oc|casions thereto, and onelie prolonged time, without atchiuing any enterprise auaileable, to the end they might receiue the whole wages, and kéepe themselues from danger, which they should hardlie haue auoi|ded, when they had not about them such able men as were like to match the enimies: but the earle of A|rundell contrarilie got the ablest men he might, not sparing his owne pursse, to the end that by their ser|uice he might atchiue some worthie enterprise, to re|dound vnto the commoditie of his countrie.
