Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The king of England comming to Rone,These coun|ties they in|ioied of the kings gift. soiour|ned there a certeine time, and receiued the homage of all the nobles of Normandie, amongst whome, the earle of Stafford did homage for the countie of Perch, and Arthur of Britaine likewise for the coun|tie of Yurie.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The king himselfe, to render vnto God his most humble & hartie thanks,

caused solemne processions to be obserued and kept fiue daies togither in euerie citie and towne. After that doone, he made great purueiance for the coronation of his quéene & spouse, the faire ladie Katharine: which was doone the daie of S. Matthew, being the twentie fourth of Febru|arie, with all such ceremonies and princelie solemni|tie as apperteined. Which because it was full of roial|tie and honour (the qualitie of the principall perso|nages requiring no lesse) and recorded by writers of former ages, it séemeth necessarie and conuenient in this place to report it, in such sort as it is found at large in some, though others glansinglie passe by it, as a matter of no great obseruation. But it is worth the noting, to consider and take a view of the goodlie EEBO page image 579 order and reuerend dutifulnesse exhibited on all sides to the new quéene; of whome Anglorum praelia saith,
More coronatur maiorum regia coniux,
Ingeminans rex ô viuat, regináque vulgus,
Al [...]isonis suprema ferit clamoribus astra.
