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.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 5 Then the speaker sir Iohn Bushie, with open mouth, besought that iudgement might be had a|gainst such a traitour:

and your faithfull commons (said he to the king) aske and require that so it may be doone. The earle turning his head aside, quietlie said to him; Not the kings faithfull cõmons require this, but thou, and what thou art I know. Then the eight appellants standing on the other side, cast their gloues to him, and in prosecuting their appeale (which alreadie had béene read) offered to fight with him man to man to iustifie the same. Then said the earle, If I were at libertie, and that it might so stand with the pleasure of my souereigne, I would not refuse to prooue you all liers in this behalfe. Then spake the duke of Lancaster, saieng to him; What haue you further to saie to the points before laid against you? He answered, that of the kings grace he had his let|ters of generall pardon, which he required to haue al|lowed. Then the duke told him, that the pardon was reuoked by the prelates and noble men in the parle|ment, and therefore willed him to make some other answer. The earle told him againe that he had an other pardon vnder the kings great seale, granted him long after of the kings owne motion, which also he required to haue allowed. The duke told him, that the same was likewise reuoked.
