Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Whilest these things were thus in dooing in the French court, there landed a damsell, belonging to the duchesse of Clarence; as she said: which made monsieur de Uaucléere beleeue, that she was sent from king Edward to the duke of Clarence and the earle of Warwike with a plaine ouerture and de|claration of peace. Of the which tidings Uaucléere was verie glad for the earles sake. But this dam|sell comming to the duke, persuaded him so much to leaue off the pursute of his conceiued displeasure to|wards his brother king Edward, that he promised at his returne into England,The promise of the duke of Clarence. not to be so extreme e|nimie against his brother as he was taken to be: and this promise afterward he did kéepe. With this an|swer the damsell returned into England, the earle of Warwike being thereof clearelie ignorant.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The French king lent both ships, men, and mo|nie vnto quéene Margaret, and to hir partakers, and appointed the bastard of Burbon, admerall of France, with a great nauie to defend them against the nauie of the duke of Burgognie, which he laid at the mouth of the riuer Saine, readie to incounter them, being of greater force than both the French nauie and the English fléet. And yet king Reiner did also helpe his daughter with men and munition of warre. When their ships and men were come to|gither to Harflue, the erle of Warwike thought not to linger time: bicause he was certified by letters from his friends out of England, that assoone as he had taken land, there would be readie manie thou|sands to doo him what seruice and pleasure they could or might. And beside this, diuerse noble men wrote that they would helpe him with men, armor, monie, and all things necessarie for the warre, and further to aduenture their owne bodies in his quarell.

When he had receiued such letters of comfort, he determined with the duke, and the earles of Oxford and Penbroke (bicause quéene Margaret and hir sonne were not yet fullie furnished for the iournie) to go before with part of the nauie, and part of the armie. And euen as fortune would, the nauie of the duke of Burgognie at the same time by a tem|pest was scattered, & driuen beside the coast of Nor|mandie: so that the earle of Warwike in hope of a boune voiage, caused sailes to be halsed vp, and with good spéed landed at Darmouth in Deuonshire, from whence almost six moneths passed he tooke his iour|nie toward France (as before ye haue heard.) When the earle had taken land,A p [...]oclama| [...]ion. he made proclamation in the name of king Henrie the sixt, vpon high paines commanding and charging all men able to beare ar|mor, to prepare themselues to fight against Edward duke of Yorke, which contrarie to right had vsurped the crowne. It is almost not to be beléeued, how ma|nie thousands men of warre at the first tidings of the earles landing resorted vnto him.
