Compare 1577 edition: 1 Here is to be noted,Collingborne indictment. that beside the rime which is reported by some to be the onelie cause for which this gentleman suffered, I find in a register booke of in|dictements concerning fellonies and treasons by sundrie persons committed, that the said Colling|borne (by the name of William Collingborne) late of Lidyard in the countie of Wilshire esquier, and o|ther his associats were indicted in London: for that they about the tenth daie of Iulie, in this second yeare of king Richards reigne, in the parish of saint Botulphes in Portsoken ward had solicited and re|quested one Thomas Yate, offering to him for his paines eight pounds, to go ouer into Britaine vnto Henrie erle of Richmond,Collingbo [...] a fauourer [...] the earle of Richmond. Thomas marquesse Dor|set, Iohn Cheineie esquier, and others, which in the last parlement holden at Westminster had beene atteinted of sundrie high treasons by them practised within the kings dominion.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Besides this, to declare vnto them that they should doo verie well, to returne into England with all such power as they might get before the feast of S. Luke the euangelist next insuing; for so they might receiue all the whole reuenues of the realme due at the feast of saint Michael next before the said feast of saint Luke. And that if the said earle of Richmond and his partakers,Collingborne purpose to [...] the erle a [...] his arriuall at Pole in Dor|setshire. following the counsell of the said Colling|borne, would arriue at the hauen of Pole in Dor|setshire, he the said Collingborne and other his asso|ciats would cause the people to rise in armes, and to leuie warre against king Richard, taking part with the said earle and his freends; so that all things should be at their commandements. Moreouer, to mooue the said earle to send the said Iohn Cheineie vnto the French king, to aduertise him that his ambassadors sent into England should be dallied with, onelie to driue off the time till the winter season were past, and that then in the beginning of summer king Richard meant to make warre into France, inuading that realme with all puissance: and so by this meanes to persuade the French king to aid the earle of Rich|mond and his partakers, in their quarell against king Richard.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Further, that the said William Collingborne, be|ing confederate with the said earle and other his ad|herents, as well within the realme as without, the eightéenth day of Iulie, in the said second yeare, with|in the parish of saint Gregories in Faringdon ward within,Collingborne indicted to be a libeller a|gainst king Richard. had deuised certeine bils and writings in rime, to the end that the same being published, might stir the people to a commotion against the king. And those bils and writings in rime so deuised and writ|ten, the same Collingborne the daie and yeare last mentioned, had fastened and set vpon diuerse doores of the cathedrall church of saint Paule, for the more speedie furthering of his intended purpose.
