Compare 1577 edition: 1 Sir Rafe Greie being taken in Banburgh, for that he had sworne to be true to king Edward, was disgraded of the high order of knighthood at Do [...]|caster, by cutting off his gilt spurs, renting his cote of armes, and breaking his sword ouer his head: and finallie, he was there beheaded for his manifest per|iurie. After this, king Edward returned to Yorke, EEBO page image 667 where (in despite of the earle of Northumberland, who then kept himselfe in the realme of Scotland) he created sir Iohn Neuill, lord Montacute earle of Northumberland; and in reproofe of Iasper earle of Penbrooke, he created William lord Herbert earle of the same place. But after, when by mediation of friends, the earle of Northumberland was reconci|led to his fauour, he restored him to his possessions, name, and dignitie; and preferred the lord Montacute to the title of marques Montacute: so that in degree, he was aboue his elder brother the earle of War|wike; but in power, policie, & possessions, far mener.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 King Edward, though all things might séeme now to rest in good case,1464 Anno Reg. 4. yet he was not negligent, in making necessarie prouision against all attempts of his aduersarie king Henrie, and his partakers; and therefore raised bulworks, and builded fortres|ses on ech side of his realme, where anie danger was suspected for the landing of anie armie. He caused al|so espials to be laid vpon the marches, fore against Scotland, that no person should go out of the realme to king Henrie and his companie, which then soiour|ned in Scotland. But all the doubts of trouble that might insue by the means of king Henries being at libertie, were shortlie taken away and ended: for he himselfe, whether he was past all feare; or that hée was not well established in his wits and perfect mind; or for that he could not long kéepe himselfe se|cret, in disguised atire boldlie entred into England.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 He was no sooner entred, but he was knowne and taken of one Cantlow,King Henrie taken. and brought toward the king, whom the earle of Warwike met on the way by the kings commandement, and brought him through London to the Tower, & there he was laid in sure hold. ¶But it is woorthie the noting, which I haue obserued in a late chronographers report tou|ching this matter; Abr. Fl. ex I.S. pag. 717. namelie, that king Henrie was taken in Cletherwood, beside Bungerleie Hipping|stons in Lancashire, by Thomas Talbot sonne and heire to sir Edward Talbot of Basshall, and Iohn Talbot his cosin of Colebrie, which deceiued him be|ing at his dinner at Wadington hall, and brought him toward London, with his legs bound to the stir|rups, where he was met by the earle of Warwike, and arested at Esildon; doctor Manning deane of Windsor, doctor Bedle, and yoong Ellerton being in his companie, with their feet bound vnder the horsse bellies were brought also to the Tower of London.]
