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.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Thus when the archbishop was constreined to keepe silence, sir Iohn Bushie procéeded in his pur|pose, requiring on the behalfe of the commons, that the charters of pardons granted vnto the traitors, to wit, the duke of Glocester, and the earles of Arundell and Warwike, should be reuoked by consent of all the estates now in parlement assembled. The king also for his part protested, that those pardons were not voluntarilie granted by him, but rather extorted EEBO page image 491 by compulsion, and therefore he besought them that euerie man would shew foorth their opinions what they thought thereof. There were two other persons of great credit with the king, besides sir Iohn Bu|shie, [...] Walsi. that were, as before yee haue heard, verie ear|nest to haue those charters of pardon reuoked and made void, to wit, sir William Bagot, and sir Tho|mas Gréene.
