Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Now resting vpon this point, he hired ships at Dartmouth: and when the same were readie trim|med and decked, the duke and the earle with their wiues, and a great number of seruants imbarked themselues, and first tooke their course towards Ca|lis, whereof the earle was capteine, thinking there to haue left his wife and daughters, till he had returned out of France. But when they were come before the towne of Calis, they could not be suffered to enter: for the lord Uauclere a Gascoigne,The earle of Warwike kept out of Calis. being the earles deputie in that towne, whether he did it by dissimula|tion, or bearing good will to king Edward (as by the sequele it may be doubted whether he did or no) in+steed of receiuing his master with triumph, he bent and discharged against him diuerse peeces of ordi|nance, sending him word he should not there take land.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 This nauie lieng thus before Calis at anchor, the duchesse of Clarence was there deliuered of a faire sonne, which child the earles deputie would scarse suffer to be christened within the towne nor without great intreatie would permit two flagons of wine to be conueied aboord to the ladies lieng in the hauen. The king of England aduertised of the refusall made by monsieur de Uauclere to the earle of Warwike,Monsieur de Uauclere made deputie of Calis. was so much pleased therewith, that incontinentlie he made him chiefe capteine of the towne of Calis by his letters patents, which he sent to him out of hand, and thereof discharged the earle as a traitor and rebell.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The duke of Burgognie (vnto whome king Ed|ward had written, that in no wise he should receiue the earle of Warwike, nor anie of his friends with|in his countries) was so well pleased with the doo|ings of monsieur de Uauclere, that he sent to him his seruant Philip de Cumins, and gaue him yéere|lie a thousand crownes in pension, praieng and re|quiring him to continue in truth and fidelitie toward king Edward, as he had shewed and begun. But al|though monsieur de Uauclere sware in the said Phi|lips presence, trulie to take king Edwards part; yet he sent priuilie to the earle of Warwike lieng at Whitsanbaie, that if he landed,The double dealing of monsieur de Uauclere. The lord Du+ras was [...] Gascoigne also. hee should be taken and lost: for all England (as he said) tooke part a|gainst him; the duke of Burgognie, and all the inha|bitants of the towne, with the lord Duras the kings marshall, and all the retinue of the garrison were his enimies.
