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.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Beside all this, the same duke the tenth of Maie, in the twelfe yeare of the kings reigne, at London in a place called the Rose, within the parish of saint Laurence Poultnie in Canwike street ward, de|manded of the said Charles Kneuet esquier, what was the talke amongest the Londoners concerning the kings iourneie beyond the seas. And the said Charles told him, that manie stood in doubt of that iourneie, least the Frenchmen meant some deceit to|wards the king. Whereto the duke answered, that it was to be feared, least it would come to passe,The duke [...] couereth the secrecie of all the matter [...] his owne vndoome accor|ding to the words of a certeine holie moonke. For there is (saith he) a Chartreux moonke, that diuerse times hath sent to me, willing me to send vnto him my chancellor: and I did send vnto him Iohn de la Court my chapleine, vnto whome he would not de|clare anie thing, till de la Court had sworne vnto him to kéepe all things secret, and to tell no creature liuing what hée should heare of him, except it were to me.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 And then the said moonke told de la Court, that neither the king nor his heires should prosper, and that I should indeuour my selfe to purchase the good wils of the communaltie of England; for I the same duke and my bloud should prosper, and haue the rule of the realme of England. Then said Charles Kne|uet; The moonke maie be deceiued through the diuels illusion: and that it was euill to meddle with such matters. Well (said the duke) it cannot hurt me, and so (saith the indictment) the duke séemed to reioise in the moonks woords. And further, at the same time,But the end of that ioy was heaui|nesse. the duke told the said Charles, that if the king had misca|ried now in his last sicknesse, he would haue chopped off the heads of the cardinall, of sir Thomas Louell knight, and of others; and also said, that he had rather die for it, than to be vsed as he had beene.
