¶ In this yeare of Grace 1389, in the Lent time, there sprang a pitifull strife in Oxford,

the variance in the yeare before being not fullie allaied, but both sides alwaies prouoking ech other. For the Welsh scholers being euermore quarelous, and hauing the southerlie scholers taking their parts, rose against the scholers of the north, so that to and fro manie a deadlie mischiefe happened betwéene them. In the end, this strife did so increase, that there was a dai [...] of skirmish appointed and agreed vpon by both sides to be tried in the field. But by the meanes of Tho|mas of Woodstoke duke of Glocester all this sturre was appeased, and manie of the Welsh scholers ba|nished from the vniuersitie. ¶ On the thursdaie be|fore Easter (being mawndaie thursdaie) the lord Beaumont gardian of Carleill in the west marches entred Scotland fortie leagues, & spoiling Fowike, made wast at his pleasure, and brought awaie with him manie Scots prisoners & captiues. ¶ About this time a truce of thrée years was taken betwéene king Richard,Truce of 3. ye [...]rs be|tweéne six kings. the kings of France, Scotland, Spaine, Portingale, and of Nauarre. This truce began on the first daie of August in the néerer parts of the realme both by sea and land; and on the fiftéenth of August in the further parts, because knowledge could not be giuen thereof without some long time.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The Scots in the time of treatie spoile the countrie of Northumber|land.Whilest the commissioners were occupied in the marches betwixt Calis and Bullongne about this truce, the Scots entring into Northumberland, did much mischiefe, leading awaie manie prisoners, men and women, besides other great booties and preies which they got abroad in the countrie. The lord Thomas Mowbraie earle of Notingham was sent with fiue hundred spears to reuenge those attempts of the enimies: but for that his power was small in comparison to theirs, he preuailed litle or nothing a|gainst them. Sir Iohn Clanbow, and sir Richard Rouale clerke, tooke the French kings oth; and the earle of saint Paule that had maried the ladie Maud Courtnie with other noblemen, came into Eng|land, and receiued the kings oth here for the confir|ming of this last mentioned truce.The Scots hauing proui|ded an armie to inuade England are hardly per|suaded to ac|cept the truce. The Scots might not without much adoo be persuaded to accept this truce, being readie the same time with an armie to enter into England, but yet through the diligence of such Frenchmen as went thither for that purpose, at length they agreed.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 This yeare the king by counsell of some that were about him, called the nobles and great men of the realme togither, and as they were set in the councell chamber staieng till he came: at length he entring into the same chamber, and taking his place to sit a|mong them, demanded of them,The kings question to his lords and others in the councel cham|ber. of what age he was now? Whereto answer was made, that he was full twentie years old. Then (said he) I am of years suffi|cient to gouerne mine owne house and familie, and also my kingdome: for it séemeth aginst reason that the state of the meanest person within my kingdome should be better than mine. Euerie heire that is once come to the age of twentie years, is permitted, if his father be not liuing, to order his businesse himselfe: then that thing which is permitted to euerie other person of meane degrée by law, why is the same de|nied vnto me? These words vttered he with the cou|rage of a prince, not without the instigation and set|ting on of such as were about him, whose drift was by discountenancing others to procure preferment to themselues, abusing the kings tender years and gréene wit, with ill counsell for their aduantage: where as it had béene more méete to haue giuen him those precepts which Claudianus hath in his tract of the institution of a prince; and among others this:

Non tibi quid liceat, Claudian. sed quid fecisse decebit

Occurrat, mentém domet respectus honesti.
