Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 This doone, taking not past foure or fiue with him, he passed foorth, till he came before the towne, and then sending an herald to the king, requested a safe conduct from the king, that he might come and talke with him, which the king granted, and so the earle of Northumberland passing the water, entred the ca|stell, and comming to the king, declared to him,The earle of Northumber|lands message to the king. that if it might please his grace to vndertake, that there should be a parlement assembled, in the which iustice might be had, against such as were enimies to the common-wealth, and had procured the destruction of the duke of Glocester, and other noblemen, and here|with pardon the duke of Hereford of all things wher|in he had offended him, the duke would be readie to come to him on his knées, to craue of him forgiue|nesse, and as an humble subiect, to obeie him in all dutifull seruices. The king taking aduise vpon these offers,The king lea|ueth Conwaie castell, and be|taketh him|selfe to his enimies. and other made by the earle of Northumber|land on the behalfe of the duke of Hereford; vpon the earles oth, for assurance that the same should be per|formed in ech condition, agréed to go with the earle to méete the duke, and herevpon taking their horsses, they rode foorth, but the earle rode before, as it were, to prepare dinner for the king at Rutland, but com|ming to the place where he had left his people, he staied there with them.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 The king kéeping on his waie, had not ridden past foure miles, when he came to the place where the am|bushes were lodged, and being entred within dan|ger of them, before he was aware, shewed himselfe to be sore abashed. But now there was no remi [...]: for the earle being there with his men, would not suf|fer him to returne, as he gladlie would haue doone if he might; but being inclosed with the sea on the one side, and the rocks on the other, hauing his aduersa|ries so néere at hand before him, he could not shift a|waie by any meanes, for if he should haue fled backe, they might easilie haue ouertaken him, yer he could haue got out of their danger. And thus of force he was then constrained to go with the earle, who brought him to Rutland, where they dined, and from thence they rode vnto Flint to bed. The king had ve|rie few about him of his freends, except onelie the earle of Salisburie, the bishop of Carleill, the lord Stephan Scroope, sir Nicholas Ferebie, a sonne also of the countesse of Salisburie, and Ienico Dartois a Gascoigne that still ware the cognisance or deuise of his maister king Richard, that is to saie,A constant seruant. a white hart, and would not put it from him, neither for per|suasions nor threats; by reason whereof, when the duke of Hereford vnderstood it, he caused him to be committed to prison within the castell of Chester. This man was the last (as saieth mine author) which ware that deuise, and shewed well thereby his con|stant hart toward his maister, for the which it was thought he should haue lost his life, but yet he was pardoned, and at length reconciled to the dukes fa|uour, after he was king.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 But now to our purpose. King Richard being thus come vnto the castell of Flint, on the mondaie, the eightéenth of August, and the duke of Hereford be|ing still aduertised from houre to houre by posts, EEBO page image 501 how the earle of Northumberland sped, the morow following being tuesdaie, and the ninetéenth of Au|gust, he came thither, & mustered his armie before the kings presence, which vndoubtedlie made a passing faire shew, being verie well ordered by the lord Hen|rie Persie, that was appointed generall, or rather (as we maie call him) master of the campe, vnder the duke, of the whole armie. There were come alreadie to the castell, before the approching of the maine ar|mie, the archbishop of Canturburie, the duke of Au|marle, the earle of Worcester, and diuerse other. The archbishop entred first, and then followed the other, comming into the first ward.
