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.
