Compare 1577 edition: 1 Besides this, the like fréendlie intertainment, and courteous demeanour appeared in the salutings of other noble men that were on them attendant; wher|of all such as saw it, and loued them, greatlie reioised; giuing God thankes for that ioifull méeting, vnitie, and concord, appearing thus manifestlie betwixt them: and herewith the trumpets and other instru|ments sounded, & the king withall brought the duke vnto his armie, whom he saluting in most courteous wise, welcomed them into the land; and they humblie thanking him, did to him such reuerence as appertei|ned to the honour of such a worthie personage. This was a goodlie and a gratious reconcilement, benefi|ciall to the princes, profitable to the péeres, and plea|surable to the people, whose part had beene déepest in dangers and losse, if discord had not beene disconti|nued.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 This doone, the king leauing his hoast againe, kee|ping their ground with the same few persons which he tooke with him before, went with his brother of Clarence vnto his armie, and saluting them with swéete and courteous words, was ioifullie of them welcomed: and so after this, they all came togither ioining in one. And either part shewing themselues glad thus to méet as fréends with the other, they went louinglie togither vnto Warwike with the king, where and in the countrie thereabouts they lod|ged, as they thought stood most with their ease and safeties. Herewith the duke of Clarence desired a|boue all things to procure some good and perfect ac|cord betwixt his brother the king, and the earle of Warwike.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 In this was he the more studious, bicause he saw that such an accord should bring great quietnesse to the land, and deliuer the common-wealth of manie dangers that might insue by reason of such numbers of partakers, as well lords as other that were confe|derat with the earle. The said duke treated with the king present,The duke of Clarence seé|keth to make peace betwixt the king and the earle of Warwike. and sent messengers vnto Couentrie to the earle, moouing as well the one as the other most instantlie to frame their minds vnto a pacifica|tion. The king at the instance of his brother was contented to offer large conditions, and verie benefi|ciall for the earle and his partakers if they would haue accepted them.
