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.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 First, he charged him, for that he had traitorouslie rid in armour against the king in companie of the duke of Glocester, and of the earle of Warwike, to the breach of peace, and disquieting of the realme. His answer herevnto was,The earle of Arundell his answers to the points of his indictmẽt. that he did not this vpon anie euill meaning towards the kings person, but rather for the benefit of the king and relme, if it were interpreted aright, and taken as it ought to be. It was further demanded of him, whie he procured let|ters of pardon from the K. if he knew himselfe gilt|lesse? He answered, that he did not purchase them for anie feare he had of faults committed by him, but to staie the malicious speach of them that neither lo|ued the king nor him. He was againe asked, whether he would denie that he had made anie such rode with the persons before named, and that in companie of them he entred not armed vnto the kings presence against the kings will and pleasure? To this he an|swered, that he could not denie it, but that he so did.
