Compare 1577 edition: 1 King Edward, being at London, was dailie ad|uertised by faithfull espials of all the dooings of his aduersaries, and was in no small agonie, bicause he could not learne what waie his enimies ment to take; for he purposed to incounter them in one place or other, before they should approch neere to London. And vpon such resolution, with such an armie as he had got about London,K. Edward setteth for|ward against his enimies. furnished with all artillerie and other prouisions necessarie, he set forward the nintéenth of Aprill, and came to Windsore, where he staied a season, as well to celebrate the feast of saint George, as to abide the comming of such hands as he had appointed to repaire thither vnto him, ma|king there his generall assemblie.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The enimies to masker him the more, sent foorth their foreriders vnto sundrie townes, both aswell to raise people in the countries about, as to make the king beléeue that their purpose was to passe those waies, where they ment not once to come. And here|vpon when they departed from Excester, they sent first their foreriders streight to Shaftesburie, and af|ter to Salisburie, and then they tooke the streight waie to Taunton, Glastenburie, and after to Wels, where houering about in the countrie, they sent ano|ther time their foreriders to a towne called Yuell, and to Bruton, as if their meaning had béene to draw towards Reading, and so through Barkeshire, and Oxfordshire to haue marched streight to Lon|don, or else to haue set vpon the king at some aduan|tage, if it were offered.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 But king Edward, considering aduisedlie of the matter, perceiued well that they being in an angle of the realme, if they ment to go to London, they must either hold the streight waie foorth by Salisbu|rie, or else drawing vp to the sea side, passe alongst through Hampshire, Sussex and Kent; or happilie if they mistrusted their owne strengths, as not able to match with his puissance, they would then slip on the left hand, and draw towards Chesshire, and Lanca|shire, there to increase their forces, and peraduenture by the waie to ioine with a power of Welshmen, vn|der the leading of Iasper earle of Penbroke, who had béene sent into Wales long afore, to frame and put in a readines the people there to assist king Hen|ries friends at their comming thitherwards. And such was there purpose in deed, for they had great confidence in such aid, as they trusted to haue of the Chesshire and Lancashire men.
