After this the king returned to London, leauing the earle of Sur|reie to rule the north parts, and appointed sir Richard Tunstall, a man of great wit and policie, to gather the subsidie to him due of the people. This yeare the king borrowed of euerie alderman of London two hundred pounds,The king bo|roweth a gret summe of mo|nie of the chã|ber of Londõ. and of the Chamber nine thousand eightie two pounds seuenteene shillings foure pence; which he repaied againe to the vttermost, with great equitie and thankefulnes. [A vertue verie lau|dable in this good king, and so much the more note|worthie as it is rare; speciallie in mightie men and great estates of the world, that count what soeuer they can catch their owne, as though the pursses of the people were theirs to possesse at pleasure & vse at lust, without conscience or care of restitution.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 In this season, the emperour Frederike made warre against the Flemings, namelie against Bru|ges and certeine townes of Flanders,A rebellion in Flanders. which had re|belled against his sonne Maximilian king of Ro|mans, their liege and souereigne lord; in so much that they of Bruges had not onelie slaine his officers but imprisoned him within their towne,Maximilian king of Ro|mans impri|soned at Bru|ges by the townesmen. till they had caused him to pardon all their offenses, and also to sweare neuer to remember, nor reuenge the same in time to come. But his father Frederike the empe|rour could not suffer such a reproch & dishonour doone to his sonne (whose fame & princelie estate as he ten|dered and had in gelosie; so was it his hart gréefe and immoderat vexation that he should be abused of o|pen contemners, in such villanous sort as tended highlie to the indignitie of his person, and the aggra|uating of their offense and punishment) to passe vn|reuenged, & therefore scourged the countrie of Flan|ders with sharpe and cruell warre.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The lord of Rauensteine being driuen to take the same oth, that his master Maximilian tooke at Bru|ges, to shew that the warre was not begun with his assent, forsooke Maximilian his lord, and tooke the townes of Ipre and Sluis, with both the castels of the same hauen, and further did not onelie stir the Gantois, Brugeans, and other towns of Flanders, to rebell against their souereigne lord; but also sent to the French kings lieutenant in Picardie, the lord Cordes, to aid him to conquer such townes of Flan|ders,The lord Cordes ma|keth aduan|tage of occa|sion. as were not of his opinion. The lord Cordes, otherwise called monsieur de Querdes, was glad to haue so good occasion to set foot in Flanders, as he that had sufficient instructions of his maister the French king, vpon anie such offred occasion so to doo, sent foorthwith to the aid of the Flemings eight thou|sand Frenchmen, commanding them to conquer such townes, as were in the waie betwixt France and Bruges.
