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.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 King Edward wakened with the newes of the earles landing, and the great repaire of people that came flocking in vnto him, sent foorth letters into all parts of his realme to raise an armie: but of them that were sent for, few came, and yet of those few the more part came with no great good willes. Which when he perceiued, he began to doubt the matter, and therefore being accompanied with the duke of Glocester his brother, the lord Hastings his cham|berlaine, which had maried the earles sister, and yet was euer true to the king his maister, and the lord Scales brother to the quéene, he departed into Lin|colneshire. And bicause he vnderstood that all the realme was vp against him, and some part of the earle of Warwike power was within halfe a daies iournie of him, following the aduise of his counsell, with all hast possible he passed the Washes in great ieopardie,King Ed|ward cõmeth to Lin and ta|keth ship to passe ouer seas. & comming to Lin found there an Eng|lish ship, and two hulkes of Holland readie (as for|tune would) to make saile.

The lord Hastings ta|ried a while after, exhorting all his acquaintance, that of necessitie should tarie behind, to shew themselues openlie as friends to king Henrie for their owne safegard, but hartilie required them in secret to co [...]|tinue faithfull to king Edward. This persuasion de|clared, he entered the ship with the other, and so they departed,The number that passed o|uer with king Edward. being in number in that one ship and two hulkes, about seuen or eight hundred persons, ha|uing no furniture of apparell or other necessarie things with them, sauing apparell for warre.
