¶This yeare Iohn Shaw (who was maior of Lon|don) caused his brethren the aldermen to ride from the Guildhall vnto the water side, Iohn Stow pag. 874, 875. when he went to Westminster to be presented in the excheker.The maiors feast first kept at Guildhall. He al|so caused the kitchens and other houses of office to be builded at the Guildhall, where since that time the maiors feasts haue béene kept, which before had béene in the grosers or tailors hall. About Easter, all the Greie friers in England changed their habit, for whereas of long time before they had vsed to weare browne russet of foure shillings, six shillings, and eight shillings the yard; now they were compelled to weare russet of two shillings the yard and not a|boue,Woollen cloth of two shil|lings the brode yard. which was brought to passe by the friers of Gréenewich. This yeare, the dike called Turnemill brooke, with all the course of Fléet dike,Dikes of Lõ|don clensed. were so scow|red downe to the Thames, that boates with fish and fewell were rowed vp to Holborne bridge, as they of old time had beene accustomed: which was a great commoditie to all the inhabitants in that part of London. Also the tower néere to the Blacke friers was taken downe by the commandement of the ma|ior. Also this yeare were brought vnto the king thrée men taken in the new found Ilands,Men brought from the new found Ilands. by Sebastian Gabato, before named in Anno 1468. These men were clothed in beasts skins, and eat raw flesh, but spake such a language as no man could vnderstand them, of the which thrée men, two of them were séene in the kings court at Westminster two yeares af|ter, clothed like Englishmen, and could not be discer|ned from Englishmen.]

Compare 1577 edition: 1 A few moneths before the mariage of prince Ar|thur, Edmund de la Poole earle of Suffolke, sonne to Iohn duke of Suffolke, and ladie Elizabeth sister to king Edward the fourth, being bold and rash withall, was indicted of murther, for s [...]eaing of a meane person in his rage & furie. And although the king pardoned him whome he might iustlie haue put to death for that offense; yet bicause he was brought to the barre before the kings Bench,Edmund erl [...] of Suffolke flieth into Flanders. and arraigned (which fact he tooke as a great blemish to his honour) shortlie after vpon that displeasure he fled into Flan|ders vnto his aunt the ladie Margaret, the king not being priuie to his going ouer. Neuerthelesse, whe|ther EEBO page image 790 he was persuaded by his fréends therevnto, whom the king had willed to deale with him therein; or whether vpon trust of his innocencie: true it is that he returned againe, and excused himselfe to the king, so that he thought him to be giltlesse of anie crime that might be obiected against him.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 But when the mariage betwixt the prince & the ladie Katharine of Spaine was kept at London, this erle either for that he had passed his compasse in excessiue charges and sumptuousnesse at that great triumph and solemnitie, and by reason thereof was farre run into debt; either else through the procurement of his aunt the foresaid ladie Margaret; or pricked with some priuie enuie, which could not patientlie with o|pen eies behold king Henrie (being of the aduerse faction to his linage) so long to reigne in wealth and felicitie:The discon|tented mind of the earle of Suffolke. in conclusion with his brother Richard fled againe into Flanders. This departure of the earle sore vexed the king, doubting of some new trouble to insue thereof.
