Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 In the same parlement, the earle of Oxford far striken in age, and his sonne and heire the lord Aw|breie Uéer, either through malice of their enimies, or for that they had offended the king, were both, with diuerse of their councellors, attainted, and put to exe|cution; which caused Iohn earle of Oxford euer after to rebell. There were also beheaded the same time, sir Thomas Tudenham knight, William Tirell, and Iohn Montgomerie esquiers, and after them diuerse others. Also after this, he created his two yoonger brethren dukes, that is to saie, lord George duke of Clarence, lord Richard duke of Glocester; and the lord Iohn Neuill, brother to Richard earle of War|wike, he first made lord Montacute, and afterwards created him marques Montacute.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Beside this, Henrie Bourchier brother to Thomas archbishop of Canturburie, was created earle of Es|sex; and William lord Fauconbridge was made earle of Kent. To this Henrie lord Bourchier, a man highlie renowned in martiall feats, Richard duke of Yorke long before this time, had giuen his sister Eli|zabeth in mariage, of whome he begat foure sonnes, William, Thomas, Iohn, and Henrie: the which William being a man of great industrie, wit, and prouidence in graue and weightie matters, maried the ladie Anne Wooduile, descended of high paren|tage, whose mother Iaquet was daughter to Peter of Lutzenburgh earle of saint Paule, by the which Anne he had lord Henrie earle of Essex, one daugh|ter named Cicile, maried to Water lord Ferrers of Chartleie and an other called Isabell, which died vn|maried.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The earle of Kent was appointed about this time to kéepe the seas, being accompanied with the lord Audeleie, the lord Clinton, sir Iohn Howard, Iohn Stow. sir Ri|chard Walgraue, and others, to the number of ten thousand, who landing in Britaine, wan the towne of Conquet, and the Isle of Reth, and after returned.

The duke of Summerset & other, submit them to king Edward. and framed as king Edward in maner could wish, Henrie duke of Summerset, sir Rafe Persie, and diuerse other, being in despaire of all good chance to happen vnto king Henrie, came humblie, & submitted themselues vnto king Edward, whome he gentlie receiued. Which clemencie notwithstanding both the one and the other (when time serued) reuolted from king Ed|ward, and betooke themselues to take part with Hen|rie, vnto whom they had béene adherents before: bi|cause they grew in hope that in the end the confede|rats, to whom they so closelie did cleaue both in affec|tion and seriousnesse of labour (though they preten|ded a temporall renunciation of all dutie and seruice for their securitie sake) should haue the honor of vic|torie against their gainstanders. But as commonlie the euents of enterprises fall out flat contrarie to EEBO page image 666 mens expectation and hope; so came it to passe with these, whose hope though it were gréene and flourie in the prosecuting of their affaires, yet in the knitting vp of the matter and vnluckie successe thereof, it fell out in triall to be a flattering, a false, and a fruitlesse hope: and therefore that is a true and a wise sen|tence of the comiall poet well seruing the purpose:
