The king had caused a large house of tim|ber to be made within the palace at Westminster, which he was called an hall,A new [...] made within the palace of Westminster for the areign [...]ment of the lords indicted. couered aboue head with tiles, and was open at the ends, that all men might see through it. This house was of so great a com|passe, that scarse it might stand within the roome of the palace. In this house was made an high throne for the king, and a large place for all estates besides to sit in. There were places also made for the appel|lants to stand on the one side, and the defendants on the other, and a like roome was made behind for the knights and burgesses of the parlement.Additions to Polychron. There was a place deuised for the speaker, named sir Iohn Bu|shie, a knight of Lincolneshire,Sir Iohn Bushie speaker. accompted to be an excéeding cruell man, ambitious, and couetous be|yond measure.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Immediatlie after, ech man being placed in his roome, the cause of assembling that parlement was shewed, as that the king had called it for reformation of diuerse transgressions and oppressions committed against the peace of his land by the duke of Gloce|ster, the earles of Arundell, Warwike, and others. Then sir Iohn Bushie stept foorth, and made request on the behalfe of the communaltie, that it might please the kings highnesse for their heinous acts at|tempted against his lawes and roiall maiestie, to ap|point them punishment according to their deser|uings,The archbi|shop of Can|turburie sit|ting in parle|ment is ac [...]|sed of treason by the speaker and speciallie to the archbishop of Canturbu|rie (who then sat next the king) whome he accused of high treason, for that he had euill counselled his ma|iestie, inducing him to grant his letters of pardon to his brother the earle of Arundell, being a ranke traitor.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 When the archbishop began to answer in his owne defense, the king willed him to sit downe againe and to hold his peace, for all should be well. Herewith sir Iohn Bushie besought the king, that the archbishop should not be admitted to make his answer, which if he did, by reason of his great wit and good vtte|rance, he feared least he should lead men awaie to beléeue him: so the archbishop might be heard no fur|ther. Sir Iohn Bushie in all his talke, when he pro|poned any matter vnto the king, did not attribute to him titles of honour, due and accustomed, but inuen|ted vnused termes and such strange names, as were rather agreeable to the diuine maiestie of God,Impudent flatterie. than to any earthlie potentate. The prince being desi|rous inough of all honour, and more ambitions than was requisite, seemed to like well of his speech, and gaue good eare to his talke.
