Compare 1577 edition: 1 For although his néerest waie had béene through Lincolneshire: yet bicause in taking that waie hée must haue gone againe to the water, in passing ouer Humber; he doubted least it would haue bin thought that he had withdrawne himselfe to the sea for feare. And to auoid the rumors that might haue beene spred thereof, to the hinderance of his whole cause, he refu|sed that waie, and tooke this other, still bruting it (as before we said) that his comming was not to cha|lenge the crowne, but onelie to be restored vnto his fathers right and inheritance of the duchie of Yorke, which was descended to him from his father. And here it séemed that the colour of iustice hath euer such a force in it selfe amongst all men, that where before few or none of the commons could be found that would offer themselues to take his part: yet now that he did (as they thought) claime nothing but that which was his right, they began streight to haue a li|king of his cause.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 And where there were gathered to the number of six or seuen thousand men in diuerse places, vnder the leading chieflie of a priest and of a gentleman called Martine de la Mare, in purpose to haue stopped his passage:Martine de la Mare or Martine of the sea. now the same persons tooke occasion to as|sist him. And when he perceiued mens minds to bée well qualified with this feined deuise, he marched foorth till he came to Beuerleie, which stood in his di|rect waie as he passed toward Yorke.He passeth to|ward Yorke. He sent also to Kingston vpon Hull, distant from thence six miles, willing that he might be there receiued: but the in|habitants, who had bene laboured by his aduersaries, refused in anie wise to grant therevnto.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The earle of Warwike aduertised by messen|gers of king Edwards arriuall, and of his turning toward Yorke, with all hast wrote to his brother the marquesse Montacute, who had laine at the castell of Pomfret all the last winter with a great number EEBO page image 680 of souldiers, willing him to consider in what case their affaires stood, and therevpon with all spéed to set vpon king Edward, or else to keepe the passages, and to staie him from comming anie further for|ward, till he himselfe as then being in Warwike|shire busie to assemble an armie, might come to his aid with the same. [Thus laboured the earle of War|wike by policie and puissance, as well of his owne as others power, to further his owne purpose, ha|uing sworne in heart a due performance of that, which he had solemnlie vowed and promised before.Sée before page 664.]
