[There was this yeare a great fight & fraie vpon Clift heath, distant about two miles from Excester, betwéene Thomas Courtneie earle of Deuonshire, against William lord Bonuile of Shut, and sundrie men of both parts were slaine. Iohn Hooker, aliàs Vowell. But yet the lord Bon|uile preuailed & had the victorie, who foorthwith came to this citie, and the gates before being shut, were o|pened and he receiued; which thing so gréeued the earle, that he continuallie sought thencefoorth to be reuenged. But not long after in the quarell betwéen king Henrie the sixt, and king Edward the fourth, he ended his daies, and was beheaded at Yorke, and was the last of that line.]

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The duke of Yorke, hauing gotten the victorie, re|membred well, that he had published abroad how the onelie cause of this warre was, for the aduance|ment of the common-wealth, and therefore vsing all courtesie, would not touch the kings person after a|nie violent sort; but with all honour and due reue|rence conueied him to London, and so to Westmin|ster. To which place was summoned a parlement, which began the ninth daie of Iulie,A parlement. in the which ses|sion, the late duke of Glocester was openlie declared a true subiect, both to the king and to the realme. Be|side this, it was enacted, that no person should either iudge or report anie point of vntruth of the duke of Yorke, the earles of Salisburie and Warwike, or of anie knight, esquier, archer, or other, for comming in warlike araie against the king, at saint Albons; con|sidering their enterprise was onelie to sée the kings person in safegard.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 But all the blame was put vpon the duke of Summerset, Whethamsted Collaterall. A letter kept from the king of purpose. Thomas Thorp, baron of the escheker, and William Iosep esquier, the kings collaterall companion; bicause that they, vpon malicious pur|pose, kept a certeine letter from the kings know|ledge, and would in no wise suffer it to be deliuered vnto him, notwithstanding the same made to the ad|uancement of some good peace, had it béene through|lie and aduisedlie read, weied & considered. In which letter they declared, that as faithfull and humble sub|iects, they required onelie, that it would please the king (whose honor, health, suertie, and preseruation, they chéefelie wished) not to giue credence to their ad|uersaries malicious suggestions, till their comming to his presence, vnto the which they humblie be sought him that they might be admitted as his faithfull liege people, to shew the intent and purpose of their commings; which was to none other end, than to de|clare their fidelitie and allegiance towards his most roiall person, intending to put themselues with as much diligence and trauell in all things that might aduance his honour, health, and safegard, as any sub|iect he had liuing.
