Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 The king answered hir with faire words, and with smiling and flattering leasings comforted hir, and bid hir be of good cheere, for (to his knowledge) she should haue no other cause. But howsoeuer that it fortuned, either by inward thought and pensiuenesse of hart, or by infection of poison (which is affirmed to be most likelie) within few daies after the queene de|parted out of this transitorie life,The quéene [...] to king Richard the third sudden| [...] dead. and was with due solemnitie buried in the church of S. Peter at West|minster. This is the same Anne, one of the daugh|ters of the earle of Warwike, which (as you haue heard before) at the request of Lewes the French king was maried to prince Edward, sonne to king Henrie the sixt. The king thus (according to his long desire) losed out of the bonds of matrimonie, began to cast a foolish fantasie to ladie Elizabeth his néece, making much sute to haue hir ioined with him in lawfull matrimonie.K Richard ca [...]eth his [...] on his [...]éece purpo|sing [...]o ma| [...] hir.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 But bicause all men and the maiden hirselfe most of all detested and abhorred this vnlawfull, and in maner vnnaturall copulation; he determined to pro|long and defer the matter, till he were in a more quietnesse. For all that verie season he was oppressed wi [...]h great, weightie, and vrgent causes, and busines|ses on euerie side; considering that dailie, part of the nobilitie sailed into France to the earle of Rich|mond: other priuilie fauoured and aided certeine of the coniuration, so that of his short end few or none were in doubt. And the common people (for the most part) were brought to such desperation, that manie of them had rather be reputed and taken of him in the number of his enimies, than to abide the chance and hazard to haue their goods taken as a spoile of victorie, by his enimies. [In such hatred they had the wretch, wishing his hart in their hands with the ha|zard of their heads. For how can people saie well or thinke well of tyrants, whose propertie it is to teare them in peeces with their clawes, like a woolfe let loose among a fold of shéepe? Whereto Homer had an eie when he said in pithie sense as here followeth:

Quisquis inhumanis studet intestabilis vtiHom. Odyss. lib. 19.

Moribus, huic omnes viuo clàm dira precantur:

Huic omnes credunt fas insultare perempto.]

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Amongst the noble men whome he most mistrus|ted, these were the principall. Thomas lord Stanleie,What noble men K. Ri|chard most mistrusted. sir William Stanleie his brother, Gilbert Talbot, and six hundred other: of whose purposes although king Richard were not ignorant, yet he gaue neither confidence nor credence to anie one of them; and least of all to the lord Stanleie, bicause he was ioined in matrimonie with the ladie Margaret, mother to the earle of Richmond, as afterward apparantlie yée may perceiue. For when the said lord Stanleie would haue departed into his countrie to visit his familie, and to recreate and refresh his spirits (as he openlie said, but the truth was, to the intent to be in a perfect readinesse to receiue the earle of Richmond at his first arriuall in England) the king in no wise would suffer him to depart, before he had left as an hostage in the court George Stanleie lord Strange, his first begotten sonne and heire.
