Compare 1577 edition: 1 Then the bishop asked him if he were authorised by them to saie so, and they cried all; Yea, yea. Then (said he) you shall find the kings mercie aboue his iu|stice. For where you were dead by the law, yet by his mercie he will reuiue you; wherefore you shall depart out of this realme within twentie daies, vp|on paine of death, if you be found after the twentith daie; and praie for the king: and so they passed into their countrie.] Thus was their captiuitie conuer|ted into libertie, and their liues saued by the kings mercie. The king of Scots hearing of the death of Andrew Barton, and the taking of the two ships, was woonderfull wroth, and sent letters to the king requiring restitution, according to the league and a|mitie. The king wrote to the king of Scots againe with brotherlie salutation, of the robberies doone by the said Andrew, and that it became not a prince to laie breach of peace to his confederat, for dooing iu|stice vpon a pirat and theefe: and that all the Scots that were taken, had deserued to die by iustice, if he had not extended his mercie. And with this answer the Scotish herald departed.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 About this season,King Henrie the eight ta|keth the popes part against the French king. the French king made sharpe warre against pope Iulie: wherefore the king of England wrote to the French king, that he should leaue off to vex the pope in such wise, being his fréend and confederat. But when the French king séemed little to regard that request, the king sent him word to deliuer him his lawfull inheritance both of the duchie of Normandie and Guien, and the countries of Aniou & Maine, and also of his crowne of France; or else he would come with such a power, that by fine force he would obteine his purpose: but notwithstanding those writings, the French king still pursued his warres in Italie. Wherevpon the king of England, ioining in league with Maximili|an the emperour, and Ferdinando king of Spaine, with diuerse other princes, was resolued by aduise of his councell to make warre on the French king and his countries, and made preparation both by sea and land, setting foorth ships to the sea for safegard of his merchants.

¶ The foresaid pope Iulie, the kings confederat, Abr. Fl. ex Guic. pag. 314. Cardinall S. Petri ad v [...]|cula made pope. was (before his aduancement to the popedome) car|dinall of saint Petri ad Uincula, a man mightie in freends, reputation, and riches, who had drawne to him the voices of so manie cardinals, that entering the conclaue, he was with an example all new and without shutting the conclaue, elected pope the verie same night following the deceasse of his predecessor pope Pius (those that were of the contrarie opinion not daring to oppose against him.) He, either hauing regard to his first name Iulie, or (as coniectures were made) to signifie the greatnesse of his concep|tions, or lastlie bicause he would not giue place to A|lexander, no not in the excellencie of name, tooke vp|on him the name of Iulie, the second of that name. Amongest all the popes that had passed, it was woon|dered that by so great consent, they had created for pope, a cardinall who was knowne to be of a dispo|sition rigorous and terrible, and in whome was no ex|pectation of rest and tranquillitie,Pope Iulie a factious fel|low and an enimie to peace. hauing consumed his youth in continuall trauels, offended manie by necessitie, and exercised hatreds against manie great personages; a man to whose wit nothing was more more familiar, than the inuention of trouble, faction, and conspiracie.
