Compare 1577 edition: 1 The archbishop not meaning to staie after he saw himselfe accompanied with a great number of men,The archbi|shop of Yorke one of the cheéfe conspi|rators. that came flocking to Yorke to take his part in this quarrell, foorthwith discouered his enterprise, causing the articles aforsaid to be set vp in the publike stréets of the citie of Yorke, and vpon the gates of the mo|nasteries, that ech man might vnderstand the cause that mooued him to rise in armes against the king, the reforming whereof did not yet apperteine vnto him. Herevpon knights, esquiers, gentlemen, yeo|men, and other of the commons, as well of the citie, townes and countries about, being allured either for desire of change, or else for desire to see a refor|mation in such things as were mentioned in the ar|ticles, assembled togither in great numbers; and the archbishop comming foorth amongst them clad in ar|mor, incouraged, exhorted,The archbi|shop in armor. and (by all meanes he could) pricked them foorth to take the enterprise in hand, and manfullie to continue in their begun pur|pose, promising forgiuenesse of sinnes to all them, whose hap it was to die in the quarrell: and thus not onelie all the citizens of Yorke, but all other in the countries about, that were able to beare weapon, came to the archbishop, and the earle marshall. In déed the respect that men had to the archbishop,The estima|tion which men had of the archbishop of Yorke. cau|sed them to like the better of the cause, since the grauitie of his age, his integritie of life, and incom|parable learning, with the reuerend aspect of his a|miable personage, mooued all men to haue him in no small estimation.

Also Rafe Neuill earle of Westmerland,The earle of Westmerland and the lord Iohn of Lan|caster the kings sonne prepare them|selues to resist the kings eni|mies. that was not farre off, togither with the lord Iohn of Lancaster the kings sonne, being informed of this rebellious attempt, assembled togither such power as they might make, and togither with those which were ap|pointed to attend on the said lord Iohn to defend the borders against the Scots, as the lord Henrie Fitz|hugh, the lord Rafe Eeuers, the lord Robert Umfre|uill, & others, made forward against the rebels, and comming into a plaine within the forrest of Galtree,The forest of Galtrée. caused their standards to be pitched downe in like sort as the archbishop had pitched his, ouer against [...]hem, being farre stronger in number of people than th [...] other, for (as some write) there were of the rebels at the [...]east twentie thousand men.

The archbishop answered,The archbi|shops prote|station why he had on him armes. that he tooke nothing in hand against the kings peace, but that whatsoeuer he did, tended rather to aduance the peace and quiet of the common-wealth, than other|wise; and where he and his companie were in armes, it was for feare of the king, to whom he could haue no free accesse, by reason of such a multitude of flatte|rers as were about him; and therefore he maintei|ned that his purpose to be good & profitable, as well for the king himselfe, as for the realme, if men were willing to vnderstand a truth: & herewith he shewed foorth a scroll, in which the articles were written wher|of before ye haue heard.
