Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 The king sent therefore with all spéed vnto him, commanding him to doo his best to defend the towne and castell against his enimies, if they came to assaile the same, as it was supposed they intended: and if they so did, he promised to come with his whole armie presentlie to the rescue. The messengers did their di|ligence, and so being ioifullie receiued into Gloce|ster, the towne and castell, by the vigilant regard of the said Richard Beauchampe, was put in safe keep|ing. And this message was doone in good time, for true it is, there were diuerse in the towne, that could haue béene well contented that the quéene, and the lords with hir, should haue béene receiued there, and would haue aduentured to haue brought it to passe, if they had not béene thus preuented.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Againe, the quéene and the lords with hir had good intelligence, with diuerse in the towne, so as they were put in great hope to haue entred the same: wherevpon they trauelled their people right sore all that night and morning, comming before the towne of Glocester vpon the fridaie about ten of the clocke. And when they perceiued that they were disappoin|ted of their purpose, and their entrie flatlie denied, they were highlie therewith displeased; for they knew verie well, that diuerse within the towne bare their good willes towards them: but after they had vsed certeine menacing braueries, and made a shew as if they had meant to assalt the gates and walles, & so to haue entred by force, they departed their waies, marching with all speed possible towards Teukes|burie.

But the cause which mooued them cheeflie to forbeare, was, for that as well they without, as the other with|in the towne, knew that king Edward approached at hand, and was readie to set vpon them on the backes, if they had once begun to haue assaulted the towne; and so, neither they within the towne that were the kings freends doubted the enimies forces, nor the enimie indéed durst attempt anie such enter|prise against them. About foure of the clocke in the afternoone, they came to Teukesburie, hauing tra|uelled that night last past,A long march. and that daie, six and thir|tie long miles, in a foule countrie, all in lanes and stonie waies, betwixt woods, without anie good refre|shing, so that as well the men as the horsses were right wearie.
