The same daie at night that the states were in|terteined,A statelie mask to solace the emperor & his companie. the king and fiftéen persons were ap|parelled all in blacke veluet couered with cloth of gold, cut on the veluet, fastened with knots of gold, on the which knots hoong spangles of gold like tufts, and bonnets of the same, & clothes of crimsin sattin and cloth of gold wrapped trauerse, and their buskins of the same cloth of gold. All these lustie maskers went to the emperours lodging, and were receiued, EEBO page image 862 and in the chamber of presence dansed and reuelled, the which at the emperours request, the king and o|ther disuisarded themselues, whereby the king was knowne: then the king tooke his leaue, and depar|ted for that night. On tuesdaie the twelfe of Iulie, bicause the banketting house could not be finished, the emperour and the ladie Margaret supped with the king & the queene at the checker, where the same night after supper reuelled ninetie and six maskers: after the reuels was a banket, after which banket the king brought the emperour and the ladie Mar|garet to the staple, and after withdrew him.

In these reuels were put in maskers apparell diuerse gentlemen of the French court vnwéeting to the K. or anie other that bare rule.French gen|tlemen in mas|kers apparell vnwéeting to them that bare rule in the reuels. For diuerse yoong gentlemen of the French court fauored more the French partie, than the emperours partie; through which meanes they saw and much more heard than they should haue doone. On fridaie the thirteenth daie of Iulie, the em|perour did intend to haue departed from Calis, but the counsell was such that he departed not that night.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 On saturdaie the fouretéenth of Iulie, the empe|rour tooke his leaue of the queene of England his aunt, and departed toward Graueling, being con|ducted on his waie by the king of England, to a vil|lage towards Flanders called Waell, and there they imbraced and tooke their leaue either of other in most louing maner. They did not altogither spend the time thus while they were togither, in vaine plea|sures, and sporting reuels; for the charters before time concluded were read ouer, and all the articles of the league tripartite, agréed betwixt the emperour, the king of England, and the French king, were at full declared, to the which the French king had fullie con|descended. And for the more proofe thereof, and exem|plification of the same, he sent monsieur de Roch with letters of credence to signifie to the emperour, that in the word of a prince he would obserue, fulfill, performe and kéepe all the same articles, for him, his realme and subiects.The king re|turneth into England. Shortlie after that the emperour and the king had taken leaue each of other, and were departed, the king shipped, and with the quéene and all other the nobilitie returned safelie into England.
