Compare 1577 edition: 1 Which sute for licence to haue reteiners, and to conueie such armors and habillements of warre, the said Gilbert, the twentith daie of Maie, in the said ninth yeare, and diuerse other daies before and after, at London, and east Gréenewich did follow, labou|ring earnestlie, both to the king and councell, for ob|teining the same. On the twentith daie of Iulie in the said ninth yeare, the said duke sent the said Gil|bert vnto Henton aforesaid, to vnderstand of the said moonke Nicholas Hopkins,A fa [...]se pro|phesieng moonke. what he heard of him: and the moonke sent him word, that before Christmas next there should be a change, & that the duke should haue the rule and gouernment of all England. And moreouer, the twentith of Februarie, in the eleuenth yeare of the kings reigne, at Blechingleie in the countie of Surrie, the said duke said vnto the said Robert Gilbert his chancellor, that he did expect and tarie for a time more conuenient to atchiue his pur|pose, and that it might easilie be doone, if the nobles of this realme would declare their minds togither: but some of them mistrusted, and feared to shew their minds togither: and that marred all.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 He said further at the same time to the said Gil|bert, that what so euer was doone by the kings father, was doone by wrong. And still he murmured a|gainst all that the king [...]hen presentlie reigning did. And further he said, that he knew himselfe to be so wicked a sinner,He was in a verie ill mind [...]f this were true. that he wanted Gods fauour: and therefore he knew, that what so euer he tooke in hand against the king had the woorse successe. And further|more, the said duke (to alienate the minds of the kings subiects from their dutifull obeisance towards the said king and his heires) on the twentith daie of September, in the first yeare of his reigne, being then at London, reported vnto the said Robert Gil|bert, that he had a certeine writing sealed with the kings great seale, comprehensing a certeine act of parlement, in the which it was enacted, that the duke of Summerset one of the kings progenitors was made legitimate:A certeine writing legi|timating the duke of Summerset. and further, that the said duke meant to haue deliuered the same writing vnto king Henrie the seuenth, but (said he) I would not that I had so doone for ten thousand pounds.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 And furthermore, the same duke on the fourth of Nouember, in the eleuenth yere of the kings reigne, at east Greenwich in the countie of Kent, said vnto one Charles Kneuet esquier, after that the king had reprooued the duke for reteining William Bulmer knight into his seruice, that if he had perceiued that he should haue beene committed to the Tower (as he doub [...]ed hée should haue béene) hée would haue so wrought, that the principal dooers therein should not haue had cause of great reioising: for he would haue plaied the part which his father intended to haue put in practise against king Richard the third at Salis|burie, [...] who made earnest s [...]te to haue come vnto the presence of the same king Richard: which sute if he might haue obteined, he hauing a knife secretlie a|bout him, would haue thrust it into the bodie of king Richard, as he had made semblance to knéele downe before him. And in speaking these words, he malici|ouslie laid his hand vpon his dagger, and said, that if he were so euill vsed, he would doo his best to accom|plish his pretensed purpose, swearing to confirme his word by the bloud of our Lord.
