Compare 1577 edition: 1 When the queene had heard this friendlie motion (which was as farre from hir thought, as the man that the rude people saie is in the moone) lord how hir spirits reuiued, and how hir heart leapt in hir bodie for ioie and gladnesse And first giuing laud to al|mightie God, as the chiefe authour of hir comfort, se|condarilie to maister Lewes, as the deuiser of these good newes & tidings, she instantlie besought him, that as he had beene the first inuenter of so great an enterprise, so now he would not relinquish nor de|sist to follow the same: requiring him further (bi|cause he was apperteining to the countesse of Rich|mond mother to the erle Henrie) that he would with all diligent celeritie resort to hir, then lodging in hir husbands place, within the citie of London: and to declare on the quéenes behalfe to the countesse, that all the friends and fautors of king Edward hir hus|band,The quéenes readinesse to s [...]t forward this cõclusion. should assist and take part with the earle of Richmond hir sonne, so that he would take a corpo|rall oth after the kingdome obteined, to espouse and take to wife the ladie Elizabeth hir daughter, or else ladie Cicilie, if the eldest daughter were not then liuing.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Maister Lewes with all dexteritie so sped his busi|nesse, that he made and concluded a finall end and de|termination of this enterprise betwene the two mo|thers. And bicause he was a physician, and out of all suspicion and misdéeming, he was the common cur|ror and dailie messenger betweene them, aiding and setting foorth the inuented conspiracie against king Richard. So the ladie Margaret countesse of Rich|mond, brought into a good hope of the preferment of hir sonne, made Reginald Braie hir most faithfull seruant, chiefe sollicitor and priuie procuror of this conspiracie; giuing him in charge secretly to inuegle and attract such persons of nobilitie to ioine with hir and take hir part, as he knew to be ingenious, faith|full, diligent, and of actiuitie. This Reginald Braie within few daies brought vnto his lure (first of all taking of euerie person a solemne oth to be true and secret) sir Giles Daubneie, sir Iohn Cheinie knight, Richard Gilford, and Thomas Rame esquiers, and diuers other. The countesse of Richmond was not so diligent for hir part, but quéene Elizabeth was as vigilant on the other side, and made friends, and ap|pointed councellors to set forward and aduance hir businesse.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 In the meane season, the countesse of Richmond tooke into hir seruice Christopher Urswike,The countesse of Richmond vttereth the matter to Urs+wike hir chap+leine, swearing him to be secret. an honest and wise priest, and (after an oth of him for to be se|cret taken and sworne) she vttered to him all hir mind and counsell, adhibiting to him the more confi|dence and truth, that he all his life had fauoured and taken part with king Henrie the sixt, and as a speci|all iewell put to hir seruice by sir Lewes hir physi|cian. So the mother, studious for the prosperitie of hir son, appointed this Christopher Urswike to saile into Britaine to the earle of Richmond, and to de|clare and reueale to him all pacts and agréements betwene hir & the quéene agréed and concluded. But suddenlie she remembring that the duke of Buc|kingham was one of the first inuentors, and a secret founder of this enterprise, determined to send some personage of more estimation than hir chapleine.
