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.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The queene, being in this wise persuaded, such word sent vnto hir sonne, and vnto hir brother being about the king, and ouer that the duke of Glocester him|selfe and other lords the chiefe of his bend, wrote vn|to the king so reuerentlie, and to the quéenes fréends there so louinglie, that they nothing earthlie mistrus|ting, brought the king vp in great hast, not in good spéed, with a sober companie. Now was the king in his waie to London gone from Northampton, when these dukes of Glocester and Buckingham came thi|ther, where remained behind the lord Riuers the kings vncle, intending on the morrow to follow the king, and to be with him at Stonie Stratford [cer|teine] miles thence earlie yer he departed. So was there made that night much fréendlie chéere betwéene these dukes & the lord Riuers a great while. But incõ|tinent, after that they were openlie with great cour|tesie departed, and the lord Riuers lodged, the dukes secretlie with a few of their most priuie freends set them downe in councell, wherein they spent a great part of the night.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 And at their rising in the dawning of the daie, they sent about priuilie to their seruants in their Ins & lodgings about,The practises of the duke of Buckingham & Glocester. giuing them commandement to make themselues shortlie readie, for their lords were to horsse backeward. Upon which messages, manie of their folke were attendant, when manie of the lord Riuers seruants were vnreadie. Now had these dukes taken also into their custodie the keies of the In, that none should passe foorth without their licence. And ouer this, in the high waie toward Stonie Stratford, where the king lay, they had bestowed cer|teine of their folke, that should send backe againe, and compell to returne, anie man that were gotten out of Northampton, toward Stonie Stratford, till they should giue other licence. For asmuch as the dukes themselues intended for the shew of their dili|gence, to be the first that should that daie attend vp|on the kings highnesse out of that towne. Thus bare they folke in hand.
