The Holinshed Texts (1587, Volume 6, p. 667)

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 King Edward being thus in more suertie of his life than before, distributed the possessions of such as tooke part with king Henrie the sixt, to his souldiers and capteins, which he thought had well deserued: and besides this, he left no other point of liberalitie vnshewed, whereby he might allure to him the bene|uolent minds and louing hearts of his people. And moreouer, to haue the loue of all men, he shewed him selfe more familiar both with the nobilitie and com|munaltie, than (as some men thought) was conueni|ent, either for his estate, or for his honor: notwith|standing the same liberalitie he euer after vsed. The lawes of the realme, in part he reformed, and in part he newlie augmented.New coin [...] stamped. The coine both of gold and sil|uer (which yet at this day is) he newlie deuised, and diuided; for the gold he named roials and nobles, and the siluer he called grotes and halfe grotes.

Richard Neale, Thomas Brian, Richard Pigot, Iohn Green|field, Iohn Catesbie, and Gwie Fairfax, which held their feast in the bishop of Elies place in Holborne. To the which feast the maior of London, with the al|dermen, shiriffes, and commons of diuerse crafts being bidden, repaired. But when the maior looked to be set to keepe the state in the hall, as it had beene v|sed in all places of the citie and liberties, out of the kings presence (vnknowne to the sergeants and a|gainst their wils, as they said) the lord Graie of Ru|then then treasuror of England was there placed. Wherevpon the maior, aldermen, and commons de|parted home,The maior of London de|parteth from the sergeant [...] feast. and the maior made all the aldermen to dine with him. Howbeit he and all the citizens were greatlie displeased that he was so dealt with, and the new sergeants and others were right sorie therefore, and had rather than much good it had not so happe|ned. This was then (as my record reporteth more at large) registred to be a president in time to come.]

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 After that king Edward had reduced the state of the publike affaires vnto his liking; to purchase himselfe a good opinion and fauourable iudgement a|mong the commons, he made proclamations, that all persons, which were adherents to his aduersaries part, & would leaue their armour, and submit them|selues wholie to his grace and mercie, should be cléerelie pardoned and forgiuen. By this kind of courteous dealing he wan him such fauour of the people, that euer after, in all his warres, he was (thorough their aid and support) a victor and conque|rour. When his realme was thus brought into a good & quiet estate, it was thought méet by him and those of his councell, that a marriage were prouided for him in some conuenient place; and therefore was the earle of Warwike sent ouer into France, to de|mand the ladie Bona, daughter to Lewes duke of Sauoie, and sister to the ladie Carlot, then quéene of France; which Bona was at that time in the French court.
