From West|minster the king returned that night vnto London againe, hauing the quéene with him, and lodged in the house of the duchesse his moother. On the morow being good fridaie, he tooke aduise with the lords of his bloud, and other of his councell, for such businesse as he had in hand; namelie, how to subdue his eni|mies as sought his destruction. Thus with consulta|tion preuenting his actions, he obteined fortunate successe, wherwith his hart was the moreaduanced to ioine issue with his aduersaries, whome (rather than they should triumph ouer him) he was resolutelie minded to vanquish, if his procéedings might proue prosperous as his present good lucke.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The earle of Warwike, calling himselfe lieute|nant of England, vnder the pretensed authoritie of king Henrie, hoping that king Edward should haue much a doo to enter into London, marched foorth from Couentrie with all his puissance,The earle of Warwike fol|loweth the king. following the king by Northhampton, in hope to haue some great ad|uantage to assaile him, speciallie if the Londoners kept him out of their citie, as he trusted they would; for then he accounted himselfe sure of the vpper hand: or if he were of them receiued, yet he hoped to find him vnprouided in celebrating the feast of Easter; and so by setting vpon him on the sudden, he doubted not by that meanes to distresse him.
