Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 This Italian in great hast complained to the ma|ior, so that at the next court holden at the Guildhall, the merchant was sent for, and vpon charge of his of|fense, he was commanded to ward. Wherevpon di|uerse other light persons within the citie, assembled togither in great plumps,In vprore in the citie of London. by force constreined the maior to deliuer the prisoner out of Newgate: and not so satisfied, like mad men ran to the seuerall hou|ses of diuerse Uenetians, Lucases, and Florentins, and them spoiled,A foule disor|der. robbed, and rifled without reason or measure. The maior, perceiuing this enormious dooing, assembled a number of substantiall and graue citizens; who (not without bloudshed and maiming of sundrie) appeased the rage, and caused the misruled people to depart to their houses. The beginner of this vprore got him to Westminster, and there registred himselfe for a sanctuarie man.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The quéene, which now againe ruled all, being ad|uertised of this vnlawfull misdemeanour, sent the dukes of Excester and Buckingham, with other noble men to London, with a commission oier and terminer, for the inquirie and punishment of so sedi|tious an offense. But when the maior, the two dukes, and the two cheefe iustices were set in the Guildhall vpon their commission, intelligence was giuen, that a number of light persons were approching in armor to rescue the prisoners apprehended for the late rob|berie and riot, as they were caried to their arraigne|ment. The two dukes and the other commissioners quickelie thense departed, and left their inquirie for that daie, though in déed in no such danger as they doubted: for certeine discréet and sage citizens so handled the matter, that no misorder followed of that furie.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 A common councell cal|led.The maior on the next daie called a common coun|cell, whereof the number was an hundred fourescore and od, who ordeined that all wardens of mysteries shuld assemble their companies in their halles, where exhortation should be to the obseruation of peace; and if they spied any man either readie to stirre a rumor, or make to the deliuerance of such as were in prison, their names should be secretlie written, and so deli|uered to the maior: which policie well appeased this outrage. Where vpon after the commissioners sat in Guildhall, where manie of the robbers were attain|ted & put to execution, beside diuers great fines set on the heads of diuerse merchants, & paid, for winking at the matter. ¶ This yeare Iohn Kempe archbishop of Canturburie departed this life, & Thomas Burst|lier bishop of Elie remooued to his place, being the threescore and third archbishop of that see.
