Compare 1577 edition: 1 At this same time, the thrée estates of the realme of France assembled at Paris, and there euerie per|son seuerallie sware vpon the holie euangelists,The oth of the threé esta|tes of Frãce. to keepe, support, mainteine and defend the treatie and finall accord, which was concluded betwéene the two kings, and thereto euerie noble man, spirituall go|uernour and temporall ruler, set to their seales, which instruments were sent to the kings treasurie of his eschecker at Westminster safelie to be kept, where they yet remaine. The French king at the same time being in good and perfect state of health, openlie there in parlement declared, that peace was concluded, accorded, and made by his frée assent, and with the ad|uise of all the councell of France, and that he would for his owne part, and that his successors ought for their parts, obserue and kéepe the same, with all the articles therein conteined.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 During the time that the two kings thus soiour|ned in Paris, the French king kept a small port, ve|rie few, and those of the meaner sort resorting vnto his court: but the king of England kept such a so|lemne state, with so plentifull an house, and shewed himselfe so bountifull in gifts, and setting foorth of warlike shewes and princelie pastimes, that all the noble men and other resorted to his palace,King Henrie taketh vpon him the office of regent of France. to see his estate, and to doo him honor. He tooke vpon him as re|gent of France, to redresse causes, remooue officers, reforme things that were amisse, and caused a new coine to be made, called a salute, wherein were the armes of France,The coine salute. and the armes of England and France quarterlie stamped. Also, to set all things in quiet, he constituted sir Gilbert Umfreuile capteine of Melun, with a good number of valiant soldiers, to remaine there in garrison, and the earle of Hun|tington (coosine germane to the king) was deputed capteine at Blois de Uincenes; and the duke of Ex|cester, with fiue hundred men of warre, was assigned to keepe Paris. Thus had king Henrie (when he was constituted gouernour of the land) the disposing of prouinces, townes, and castels at his pleasure; and the making of lawes and ordinances, standing with the drift of his policie to kéepe both people in due obe|dience; as Anglorum praelia bréefelie noteth; saieng:
Rectorem patria postquam rex Gallus & omnesVnanimes proceres Henricum constituerunt;Plantageneta dabat princeps iam iura duabusGentibus, effraenes ductis cohibebat habenis.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 The duke of Bauier about the same time,The duke of Bauier & [...] troope with the kings [...]|uor departed with the kings licence, departed into his countrie, both he and his retinue, receiuing large gifts of the kings great liberalitie, and amongst other things, the king gaue him a cup of gold, garnished and set with pretious stones of great price and value. Moreouer, he had a pension giuen him of a thousand markes by yeare, vnder the kings letters patents, to be had and recei|ued of the kings frée and liberall grant, during the life of the said duke. A right roiall reward & worthie the maiestie of a king, bestowed vpon the said duke; and his retinue, partlie in respect of the aliance be|twixt the king and him (for he had maried the kings sister) but speciallie for the notable seruice which they did him at the siege before Melun. So that hereby is commended vnto vs an example of gratitude and beneficence; teaching vs, that to such as haue béene good and gratious vnto vs, we should be alwaies for|ward with a right hand and readie mind to make a|mends in some proportion and measure.
