Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Of which good prouision none of vs hath anie thing the lesse néed, for the late made attonement, in which the kings pleasure had more place than the parties willes. Nor none of vs (I beléeue) is so vnwise, ouer|soone to trust a new freend made of an old fo; or to thinke that an hourlie kindnes, suddenlie contracted in one houre, continued yet scant a fortnight, should be déeper settled in their stomachs, than a long ac|customed malice manie yeares rooted. With these words and writings, and such other, the duke of Glo|cester soone set on fire them that were of themselues easie to kindle, & in speciallie twaine, Edward duke of Buckingham, and William lord Hastings then chamberleine, both men of honour & of great power; the one by long succession from his ancestrie, the o|ther by his office and the kings fauour. These two, not bearing ech to other so much loue,A consent to worke wi [...]|kednesse. as hatred both vnto the quéenes part: in this point accorded togi|ther with the duke of Glocester, that they would vt|terlie remoue from the kings companie all his mo|thers fréends, vnder the name of their enimies.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 For whereas now euerie lord loued other, and none other thing studied vpon, but about the corona|tion and honor of the king: if the lords of hir kindred should assemble in the kings name much people, they should giue the lords, betwixt whome and them had béene sometime debate, to feare and suspect, least they should gather this people, not for the kings safegard, whome no man impugned, but for their destruction, hauing more regard to their old variance, than their new attonement. For which cause they should assem|ble on the other partie much people againe for their defense, whose power she wist well far stretched: and thus should all the realme fall on a rore. And of all the hurt that thereof should insue, which was likelie EEBO page image 715 not to be little, and the most harme there like to fall where she least would, all the world would put hir and hir kindered in the wight, and saie that they had vn|wiselie and vntrulie also broken the amitie & peace, that the king hir husband so prudentlie made, be|twéene his kin and hirs in his death bed, and which the other partie faithfullie obserued.
