Compare 1577 edition: 1 In the meane time, whilest they were thus busie vpon one side of the citie, an alarum rose at the de|fendants backes, crieng that the rebels were entred the citie on the contrarie side: and so euerie man shrinking awaie, and running thither to repell the enimie there, that part was left void of defendants where the first assault began. Whereof the rebels be|ing aduised, rushed into the riuer that runneth before bishops gate, got to the gates, and breaking them o|pen, entred without anie great resistance. For all the citizens were withdrawne to their houses and o|ther places, where they hoped best to hide themselues from the furie of their enimies.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The rebels hauing thus entred the citie by force,The rebelles conueie artil|lerie and mu|nition out of the citie to their campe. conueied all the guns and artillerie, with other fur|niture of warre out of the citie into their campe. The herald that was yet abiding in the citie, to see if the rebels would before the daie prefixed for their par|dons, being not yet expired, giue ouer their enter|prise, came with the maior into the market place, and in the hearing of a great multitude of people that were come foorth and stood about him, he eftsoons gaue commandement in the kings name, that they should laie armes aside,The h [...]ralds proclamation in Norwich. and get them home to their houses: which to so manie as did, he pronounced a ge|nerall pardon, and to the rest extreme punishment by death.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 The rebels that stood by and heard him, when he had once made an end of his proclamation, bade him get him thense with a mischiefe:The traito|rous refusall of the rebels to accept the kings pardon. for it was not his faire offers, nor his swéet flattering words that should beguile them, sith they made no account of such manner of mercie, that vnder a colour of par|don, should cut off all their safetie and hope of preser|seruation. The herald perceiuing how obstinatelie they were bent, and set on all mischiefe, and that it was vnpossible to bring them from their outragious treason, either through feare of punishment or hope of pardon, departed; without hauing brought that to passe for which he was sent. Immediatlie after his departure, the rebels sought for Leonard Souther|ton, purposing to haue apprehended him, and com|mitted him to prison, for accompanieng the herald thitherwards. But he hauing knowledge of their meaning, hid himselfe from them.
