Sir Humfrie Gilbert knight, in his booke intitu|led, A discouerie for a new passage to Cataia, writeth thus;

Sebastian Gabato, by his personall experience and trauell, hath described and set foorth this passage in his charts, which are yet to be séene in the quéenes maiesties priuie gallerie at White hall, who was sent to make this discouerie by king Henrie the se|uenth, and entered the same f [...]et, affirming that hee sailed verie farre westward, with a quarter of the north, on the north side of terra de Labrador, the eleuenth of Iune, vntill he came to the septentrionall latitude of 67½ degrées, and finding the seas still open, said, that he might & would haue gon to Cataia, if the em|nitie of the maister and mariners had not béene.
Ne|uerthelesse, he went verie farre, euen to a nation in|habited with people more like beasts than men, as ap|peareth in the yeare 1502, and the seuentéenth of this kings reigne, when the said traueller was returned, and presented himselfe to the kings maiestie.]

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 Anno Reg. 14.In this yeare the warre had like to haue béene reuiued betwixt the realmes of England and Scot|land by a small occasion,England and Scotland lik|lie to go togi|ther by the eares a [...]resh. as thus. Certeine yongmen of the Scots came arriued before Norham castell, & beheld it woonderous circumspectlie, as though they would faine haue béene of counsell to know what was doone the rein. The kéepers not perceiuing anie damage attempted against them for the first time, determined not to mooue anie question to them, or once to stirre out. But when they came againe the next day, and viewed it likewise, the kéepers of the castell suspecting some euill meaning, demanded of them what their intent was, and why they viewed and aduised so the castell. The Scots answered them roughlie with disdainfull words, so that the English|men fell to and replied with strokes; and after manie blowes giuen and receiued, diuerse Scots were wounded, and some slaine; and the residue ouermat|ched with multitude of the Englishmen, fled as fast as their horsses could carie them.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The Scotish king hereof aduertised, was highlie displeased, and in all hast signified to king Henrie by his herald Marchemont, in what sort his people (to the breach of the truce) were abused and handled. King Henrie being not in will to breake with anie of his neighbours, excused the matter, affirming that he was not of knowledge to the misdemeanor of those that had the castell in kéeping; requiring the king of Scots not to thinke the truce broken for a|nie thing doone without his consent; promising in the word of a king to inquire of the truth, and if the of|fense were found to be begun on the partie of the kéepers of the castell, he assured him that they should for no meed nor fauour escape due correction and pu|nishment.
