Compare 1577 edition: 1 When relation of his departure was made to the earle of Richmond, and the other noble men, no mar|uell though they were astonied and greatlie amazed. Yet that notwithstanding, they required of the French king, that it might be lawfull for them in his name, and by his commandement, to take and staie their companion, confederate, and partaker of all their counsell, in what place within his realme and territorie so euer they could find him. Which petition once obteined, they sent out currors into euerie part, amongst whom Humfreie Cheinie (plaieng the part of a good bloudhound) followed the tract of the fli|er so euen by the sent, that he ouertooke and apprehen|ded him not far from Campeigne; and so what with reason, and what with faire promises, being persua|ded, he returned againe to his companions.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The earle of Richmond vnburdened of this mis|aduenture, least by lingering of daies, and prolong|ing of time, he might loose the great opportunitie of things to him offered and ministred: also least he should further wound and molest the minds of his faithfull and assured fréends, which dailie did expect and tarie for his comming, determined no longer to protract and deferre the time; but with all diligence and celeritie attempted his begun enterprise. And so obteining of king Charles a small crew of men,The earle of Richm [...]nd hath [...] monie of the French king for hostages. and borrowing certeine summes of monie of him, and of diuerse other his priuate freends, for the which he left as debter (or more likelie as a pledge or hostage) lord Thomas marquesse Dorset (whome he halfe mis|trusted) and sir Iohn Bourchier, he departed from the French court, and came to the citie of Rone.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 While he taried there, making prouision at Harfleet in the mouth of the riuer of Sene for all things ne|cessarie for his nauie, tidings were brought to him that king Richard (being without children, & now a widower) intended shortlie to marie the ladie Eliza|beth his brothers daughter; and to prefer the ladie Cicilie hir sister to a man found in a cloud, and of an vnknowne linage and familie. He tooke these newes as a matter of no small moment; and so (all things considered) it was of no lesse importance than he tooke it for.The earle is greeued at [...] newes of king Richards in|tended mari|age with his neéce. For this thing onelie tooke awaie from him and all his companions their hope and courage, that they had to obteine an happie enterprise. And therefore no maruell though it nipped him at the ve|rie stomach: when he thought, that by no possibilitie he might atteine the mariage of any of K. Edwards daughters, which was the strongest foundation of his building; by reason whereof he iudged that all his fréends in England would abandon and shrinke from him.
