Compare 1577 edition: 1 After whose departure, they considering in what danger they stood to be surprised, if they should scat|ter abroad in such sort as till then they had doone, séeking to wast and spoile the countrie about them, without kéeping togither in anie warlike order, thought it stood most with their suertie to draw into one place, and to fortifie the same for their further strength. Upon this resolution they determined to go with all spéed vnto Mousehold, a place as they tooke it meet for their purpose, and therefore sent to the maior of Norwich,The rebels request licence to passe tho|rough Nor|wich. requesting him of licence to passe through the citie, bicause it was their néerest waie, promising not to offer anie iniurie or violence to anie person, but quietlie to march through the citie vnto their place appointed. But the maior did not on|lie denie them passage, but also with sharpe and bitter speach reprouing their rebellious dooings, told them what whould follow thereof, if they gaue not ouer in time from further proceeding in such wicked at|tempts.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Sir Roger Woodhouse.The next daie being thursdaie, sir Roger Wood|house with seuen or eight of his houshold seruants, came to them, bringing with him two carts laden with beere, and one cart laden with other vittels: for a recompense whereof he was stripped out of his ap|parell, had his horsses taken from him, and whatso|euer else he had, the rebels accounting the same a good preie, he himselfe was cruellie tugged and cast into a dich of one Mores of nether Arleham by Hei|lesdonbridge; where the same daie the rebels, being disappoint [...]d of their purpose to passe through Nor|wich, found meanes to passe, and comming to mai|ger Corbets house of Sprowston, intended to haue burnt the same house. But yet being persuaded to spare it from fire, they spoiled his goods, defaced a douehouse of his, which had beene a chappell, and after|wards got them to Mousehold, and comming to S. Leonards hill, on which the erle of Surrie had bu [...]t a statelie house called mount Surrie,Mount Sur|rie. they inken|nelled themselues there on the same hill; and in the woods adioining that lie on the west and the south side of the same hill, as the commons or pasture cal|led Mousehold heath lieth on the east side,Mousehold. which con|teineth foure or fiue miles in length, & thrée or foure in bredth.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 They put sir Roger Woodhouse, and other priso|ners whom they had caught, in streict ward within the foresaid house of mount Surrie, on the which they seized, and spoiled whatsoeuer they found within it. In the meane time, the maior of Norwich taking aduise with his brethren the aldermen, what was best to doo in this case whether presentlie to issue foorth, and distresse the rebels now in the beginning, least time might giue them meane to increase their pow|er: or rather to staie till they had aduertised the councell of the whole matter. In the end they agréed that this last aduise was most surest, and so they dis|patched a post with all spéed to the court. Beside this great campe (as they termed it) at Mousehold, there was a lesser at Rising chase neare to Lin:Rising chase. but the rebels there, by the good diligence and circumspect po|licie of the iustices and gentlemen of those parts, were spéedilie repressed, and driuen from thence. Notwithstanding afterwards they assembled togi|ther at Watton, & there remained about a fortnight, stopping also the passage at Thetford and Brandon ferrie, within nine miles of the said Watton:Watton. and at length came and ioined themselues with these other at Mousehold, by appointment of their ge|nerall capteine (as they tooke him) the foresaid Ro|bert Ket.
