Compare 1577 edition: 1 But other were of this opinion, that it was dan|gerous to raise men in armour,Councell ta|ken by the ma|ior and his brethren how to pre|uent the hurt at hand. bicause it was hard to tell whome they might trust but rather they thought it best that commandement should be giuen to euerie man through euerie ward, to shut in his doores, & to kéepe his seruants within. Before eight of the clocke the recorder was sent to the cardinall with these opinions; who hearing the same, allowed the latter for best and most surest. And then the re|corder and sir Thomas More (late vndershiriffe of London, and now of the kings priuie councell) came to the Guildhall halfe an houre before nine of the clocke, and there shewed the pleasure of the kings councell; wherevpon euerie alderman sent to his ward, that no man should stirre after seauen of the clocke out of his house, but to keepe his doores shut, and his seruants within, till nine of the clocke in th [...] morning.

Hall noteth it. as sir Iohn Mundie (an alderman) came from his ward, and found two yoong men in Cheape plaieng at the bucklers, and a great manie of yoong men loo|king on them (for the commandement was then scarse knowne) he commanded them to leaue of. And for that one of them asked, why? he would haue had him to the Counter. Then all the yoong prentises stept to, and resisted the alderman, taking the yoong fellow from him, & cried; Prentises and clubs. Then EEBO page image 842 out at euerie doore came clubs and weapons. The al|derman fled and was in great danger.The heat of the hurlie burlie. Then more people arose out of euerie quarter, and foorth came seruingmen, watermen, courtiers, and others; so that by eleuen of the clocke, there were in Cheape, six or seuen hundred; and out of Paules churchyard came thrée hundred, which knew not of the other. So out of all places they gathered, & brake vp the coun|ters, tooke out the prisoners that the maior had thither committed for hurting the strangers, and came to Newgate, and tooke out Studleie and Petit com|mitted thither for that cause.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The maior and shiriffes were present there, and made proclamation in the kings name, but nothing was obeied.The raging madnesse of the mutiners. Herewith being gathered in plumpes, they ran thorough saint Nicholas shambles, and at saint Martins gate there met with them sir Tho|mas More, and others, desiring them to go to their lodgings. And as they were thus intreating, and had almost persuaded the people to depart, they within saint Martins threw out stones, bats, and hot water; so that they hurt diuerse honest persons that were there with sir Thomas More, persuading the rebelli|ous persons to ceasse, insomuch as at length one Ni|cholas Downes a sergeant of armes being there with the said sir Thomas More,Nicholas Downes sore hurt. & sore hurt amongst others, in a furie, cried; Downe with them. And then all the misruled persons ran to the [...]ores and win|dowes of the houses with saint Martins, and spoiled all that they found.
