The Holinshed Texts (1587, Volume 6, p. 605)

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 During this time, the Frenchmen on the other|side tooke Louiers, and Uilleneuf. Then also did the towne of Melun rebell, and had such aid of other townes adioining, that the English souldiers were faine to leaue Melun, Morret, and Corbell. Thus did things wauer in doubtfull balance betwixt the two nations English and French. But bicause the Eng|lish sore mistrusted further danger, it was concluded, that king Henrie in his roiall person with a new ar|mie should come into France, partlie to visit and comfort his owne subiects ther [...], and partlie either by feare or fauour (bicause a child of his age and beau|tie dooth commonlie procure them loue of elder per|sons) to moue the Frenchmen to continue their due obeisance towards him.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Wherefore after a great host conuenient for that purpose assembled, and monie for maintenance of the warre readie gathered, and the realme set in an order vnder the gouernement of the duke of Gloce|ster protector (which during the kings absence appea|sed diuerse riots,King Henrie the sixt in per|son goeth with an armie into France. and punished the offendors) the king with a great power tooke shipping at Douer on saint Georges euen within night, and landed at Calis on the morrow being saint Georges daie, and sundaie,S. Albons. by seuen of the clocke in the morning. He remained in Calis a good space, Ed. Hall. and from thence he remoued to Rone, being there receiued with all triumph. He ta|ried in that citie a long time, his nobles dailie con|sulting on their great businesse & weightie affaires.

Abr. Fl. ex Polychron.

A widow without Al|gate murthe|red in hir bed by a Breton whome she charitablie reléeued.

a certeine Breton, whome a good honest widow had receiued into hir house, and conceiued well of him in opinion, was by hir mainteined of hir owne pursse, & (as Polychronicon saith) she found him of almes and for Gods sake. This charitable deed of hirs deserued a deuout mind to God ward, and a thank|full hart to hir. But (good soule) how was she recom|pensed? O fowle in|gratitude. Euen murthered in hir bed by the hands of that villaine whome so bountifullie she succoured, and motherlike tendered. Unto which bloudie fact (which was a preparatiue to a further mischeefe bred in his vnnaturall hart) he added another offense: for when he had dispatched the woman, vsing the riddance of hir to his aduantage, and as he had obteined oportu|nitie (to his thinking) he conueied all that she had a|waie with him for his owne releefe. Then being per|secuted with guiltinesse of conscience, which trou|bleth offendors with ceaslesse vexations, and forceth them from place to place to séeke corners of euasion and shift, he tooke priuilege of holie church at saint Georges in Southwarke, where laieng hands on the crosse, as a shield of sufficient safegard, he abiured this land, and by that meanes thought himselfe frée from afterclaps.
