Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 Herewith the duke of Suffolke the kings lieute|nant was appointed to go with the armie, to see the countrie set in quiet, accompanied with the lord ad|merall, sir Francis Brian, and sir Iohn Russell that were ioined with him also in commission for the ordering of things there within the countie of Lin|colne. The duke entred into the citie of Lincolne the seuentéenth of October. On the ninetéenth all the in|habitants of Louth (according to order giuen by the duke) came to Lincolne,The rebels submit them|selues and re|ceiue a new oth of fealtie to the king. and there in the castell made their submission, holding vp their hands, and crieng for the kings mercie. And herwith were chosen foorth Nicholas Melton, capteine Cobler, & thirteene more, which were commanded to ward, and all the residue were new sworne to the king, renouncing their for|mer oth receiued in time of their rebellion, and then departed home to their houses in the kings peace. After this were proclamations made abrode in the countrie in euerie market towne by the heralds of armes, Summerset and Winsore, that the capteins and souldiers of the dukes armie should not take a|nie mans goods, cattels, or vittels, except they paied or agréed with the owners of the same.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 And further commandement was giuen, that all inhabitants and dwellers within the townes and villages about, should repaire to the citie of Lin|colne, with all maner of vittels as well for men as horsses, where they should receiue paiment at reaso|nable prices for the same. After this, there was like|wise proclamation made for the apprehending of all such lewd persons, as had sowne anie false rumors abrode in the countrie (the cheefe occasion of this re|bellion) bruting that the king pretended to haue the gold in the hands of his subiects brought into the tower to be touched, and all their cattell vnmarked,False rumors the occasion of rebellions. the chalices, goods, and ornaments of parish chur|ches, fines for christenings, weddings, and buriengs, licences to eat white meat, bread, pig, goose or ca|pon, with manie other slanderous, false, and detesta|ble tales and lies, forged of diuelish purpose to in|courage the people to rebellion. If therefore anie man could apprehend such as had béene the setters foorth and sowers of such seditious reports, they that brought them in, should be so rewarded, as they should thinke their labour well bestowed.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Moreouer, if there were anie assemblies made in anie part of the realme without the kings licence, by anie vnrulie persons, and would not depart to their houses vpon warning by his graces proclama|tions, they should not looke for further mercie at the kings hand, but to be prosecuted with fire and sword to the vttermost. To conclude, by the wise and sage direction taken in appeasing the countrie by that no|ble duke, all things were quieted in those parties. Di|uerse of the principall offendors were sent vnto London. He that tooke vpon him as cheefe capteine of the rout, was the same that called himselfe cap|teine Cobler: but he was indeed a moonke named doctor Makarell, which afterwards with diuerse o|thers was executed.
