Compare 1577 edition: 1 On the saturdaie in the morning, he sent the lord Daubeneie with a great companie to set on them earlie in the morning, which first got the bridge at Dertford Strand, which was manfullie defended by certeine archers of the rebels, whose arrowes (as is reported) were in length a full cloth yard. While the earles set on them on euerie side,Blackheath field. the lord Daubenie came into the field with his companie, and without long fighting, the Cornishmen were ouercome; and first they tooke the lord Daubenie prisoner: but whe|ther it were for feare, or for hope of fauour, they let him go at libertie, without hurt or detriment. There were slaine of the rebels which fought and resisted, aboue two thousand men (as Edward Hall noteth) and taken prisoners an infinite number,Thrée hun|dred slaine, & a thousand fiue hundred taken priso|ners, as Iohn Stow saith. & amongst them the blacke smith, and other the cheefe capteins, which were shortlie after put to death. When this bat|tell was ended, the king wanted of all his numbers but three hundred, which were slaine at that con|flict.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Some affirme, that the king appointed to haue fought with them not till the mondaie, and preuen|ting the time set on them on the saturdaie before, ta|king them vnprouided, and in no arraie of battell; and so by that policie obteined the field and victorie. The prisoners as well capteins as other, were par|doned, sauing the chéefe capteins and first begin|ners, to whome he shewed no mercie at all. The lord Audeleie was drawne from Newgate to the Tow|er hill in a coate of his owne armes,Iames lord Iu [...]elie igno|min [...]ouslie drawne to ex|ecution and beheaded. painted vpon paper reuersed and all to torne, and there was behea|ded the foure and twentith of Iune. Thomas Flam|mocke & Michaell Ioseph were hanged, drawne, and quartered after the maner of traitors, & their heads and quarters were pitched vpon stakes, and set vp in London, and in other places: although at the first, the king meant to haue sent them into Cornewall, to haue béene set vp there for a terror to all others. But hearing that the Cornishmen at home were readie to begin a new conspiracie, least he should the more irritate and prouoke them by that displeasant sight, he changed his purpose, for doubt to wrap himselfe in more trouble than néeded.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 While these things were adooing in England, Anno Reg. [...]. the king of Scots being aduertised of the whole matter and rebellion of the Cornishmen,The Scots inuade the English bor|ders. thought not to let passe that occasion: and therefore he eftsoones inua|ded the frontiers of England, wasting the countrie, burning townes, and murthering the people, spare|ing neither place nor person: and while his light hors|men were riding to forraie and destroie the bishop|rike of Durham, and there burned all about, he with an other part of his armie did besiege the castell of Norham. The bishop of Durham Richard Fox, be|ing owner of that castell,Fox bishop [...] Durham ow|ner of Nor|ham castell. had well furnished it both with men and munitions aforehand, doubting least that would follow which came now to passe. The bi|shop, after that the Scots made this inuasion, aduer|tised the king (as then being at London) of all things that chanced in the North parts; and sent in all post hast to the earle of Surrie, to come to the rescue. The [...]arle being then in Yorkeshire, and hauing ga|thered an armie, vpon knowledge giuen to him from the bishop, with all diligence marched forward, and after him followed other noble men out of all the quarters of the North, euerie of them bringing as manie men as they could gather, for defense of their countrie.
