Compare 1577 edition: 1 Unto which words the king answered; What my brother marquesse hath doone I cannot saie, but in good faith I dare well answer for mine vncle Riuers and my brother here, that they be innocent of anie such matter.

And foorthwith they arested the lord Richard and sir Tho|mas Uaughan knight, in the kings presence; and brought the king and all backe vnto Northampton, where they tooke againe further counsell. And there they sent awaie from the king, whom it pleased them, and set new seruants about him, such as liked better them than him. At which dealing he wept, and was nothing content; but it booted not.
