Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Herevpon, comming to Couentrie the eleuenth of Maie, and remaining there thrée daies, he well refreshed such as had béene with him at Teukesbu|rie field. Hither was brought to him queene Marga|ret, from whence she was conueied to London, there to remaine in safe keeping (as before you haue hard.) Whilest he was busie in sending abroad vnto his friends to leauie an armie, he was aduertised that the commotion in the north was pacified. For after it was knowen abroad, how he obteined the victorie, as well at Teukesburie, as at Barnet, and in manner subdued all his enimies, the capteins that had stirred the people to that rebellion, began to quaile, and for|sooke their companies.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Diuerse of them made sute to the earle of Nor|thumberland, that it might please him to be a media|tor to the king for their pardon; so that now, there was no rebellion in all the north parts,Rebellion in the north pa|cified. but that as well the citie of Yorke, as all other places, were at the kings commandement, readie in all things to o|beie him as true and loiall subiects. And this was confirmed by the earle of Northumberlands owne mouth,The earle of Northum|berland. who on the fouretéenth of Maie came to the king, as yet remaining at Couentrie: by reason whereof it was not thought néedfull, that the king should trauell anie further northward at that time, either about the pacifieng of the people, or to see exe|cution doone vpon the offendors, sith all was there in good tranquillitie and quiet.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 But now when all things séemed to be at rest, and no rebellion after so happie victories doubted, newes came to him before his cõming to Couentrie, from the lords of his bloud, abiding at London, that one Thomas Neuill, bastard sonne to that valiant cap|teine the lord Thomas Fauconbridge (who had late|lie before beene sent to the sea by the earle of War|wike,Thomas Ne|uill bastard [...]. and after fallen to practise pirasie) had spoiled diuerse merchants ships, Portingals and others, in breach of the ancient amitie that long had continued betwixt the realms of England and Portingale; and furthermore, had now got to him a great number of mariners, out of all parts of the land, and manie traitors and misgouerned people from each quarter of the realme, beside diuerse also foorth of other coun|tries that delighted in theft and robberies, meaning to worke some exploit against the king.
