Compare 1577 edition: 1 The temporall lords perceiuing what the bishops had doone, did likewise giue their consents, to reuoke the same pardons: but the iudges with those that were toward the law, were not of this opinion, but finallie the bishops pretending a scrupulositie, as if they might not with safe consciences be present where iudgement of bloud should passe, they appoin|ted a laie man to be their prolocutor to serue that turne. To conclude, at length all maner of charters of pardon were made void,The charters of pardõ gran+ted to ye lords made void by parlement. for that the same séemed to impeach the suertie of the kings person. When sir Iohn Bushie and his associats had obteined that re|uocation, it was further by them declared, that the earle of Arundell had yet an other speciall charter of pardon for his owne person, which he had obteined after the first. And therefore sir Iohn Bushie ear|nestlie requested in name of the communaltie that the same might likewise be reuoked.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The question then was asked of the bishops, who declared themselues to be of the like opinion, touch|ing that charter, as they were of the other. At that selfe time the archbishop of Canturburie absented himselfe from the parlement, Thom. Wals. in hope that the king would he his fréend, and stand his verie good lord, for that he had promised nothing should be doone against him in the parlement whilest he was absent. But neuerthelesse,

The archb. of Canturburie condemned to perpetuall ba|nishment.

Six daies saith Grafton.

at the importunate sute of the said sir Iohn Bushie and others, the archbishop was con|demned vnto perpetuall exile, and appointed to auoid the realme within six wéekes. And therewith the king sent secretlie to the pope for order that the archbishop might be remooued from his sée to some other, which sute was obteined, and Roger Walden lord treasu|ror was ordeined archbishop in his place, as after shall appeare.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The earle of Arundell a|reigned.On the feast daie of saint Matthew, Richard fitz Aleine, earle of Arundell, was brought foorth to sweare before the king and whole parlement to such articles as he was to be charged with. And as he stood at the bar, the lord Neuill was commanded by the duke of Lancaster,The duke of Lãcaster high Steward of England at [...] areigne|ment. which sat that daie as high steward of England, to take the hood from his necke, and the girdle from his waste. Then the duke of Lan|caster declared vnto him, that for his manifold rebel|lions and treasons against the kings maiestie he had béene arrested, and hitherto kept in ward, and now at the petition of the lords and commons, he was called to answer such crimes as were there to be ob|iected against him, and so to purge himselfe, or else to suffer for his offenses, such punishment as law ap|pointed.
