Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 Diuerse other gentlemen and woorthie soldiers came to the like end among those outragious rebels, and amongst other, Robert Woluaston, that was appointed to kéepe the doore of Christs church, was killed by the same Fulks, who tooke him for sir Ed|mund Kneuet, against whome the rebels bare great malice, for that he sought to annoie them so farre as by anie meanes he might, as partlie ye haue heard. But the slaughter of that noble man the lord Shef|feld, Alexander Neuill. sore discouraged the residue of the soldiers that were come with the lord marquesse. And on the other part, the rebels were aduanced thereby, in greater hope to preuaile against them, and therevpon preas|sed forward with such hardinesse, that they caused the lord marquesse and his people to giue place, and to forsake the citie, euerie man making the best shift he could to saue himselfe. But yet diuerse gentlemen of good account and worship remaining behind, and a|biding the brunt, were taken prisoners, as sir Tho|mas Cornewallis, and others, whome the rebels afterwards kept in streict durance, vntill the daie came of their ouerthrow by the kings power, vnder the conduction of the earle of Warwike.The mar|quesse ma|keth shift to escape dan|ger.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The lord marquesse and the residue that escaped, made the best shift they could to get out of danger; and at length, he and the most part of them that EEBO page image 1035 went foorth with him, came to London. The rebels hauing thus repelled the lord marquesse & his power, set fire on the citie, whereby manie faire buildings were consumed and burnt. It happened yet well the same time, that there fell great abundance of raine, the which holpe in part to quench the rage of the fire. Neuertheles, all the houses on either side of Holmes stréet, and the hospitall of the poore; also Bishops gate, Pockthorpe gate, Magdalene gate, and Bearestréet gate, with manie other houses in other parts of the citie, were burned, and fowlie defaced with fire. The citizens were brought into such extreame miserie, that they knew not which waie to turne them. Some there were that fled out of the citie, taking with them their gold and siluer, and such short ware as they might conueie awaie with them, abandoning wife and children, to rest at the mercie of the rebels. Other hid their goods in wels, priuies, and other such secret places out of the waie.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The rebels entering into the houses of such as were knowne to be wealthie men, spoiled and bare awaie all that might be found of anie value. But to speake of all the cruell parts which they plaied, it would be tedious to expresse the same, their dooings were so wicked and outragious. There was shooting, howling,The misera|ble estate of Norwich. and wringing among them, wéeping, and crieng out of women and children. To be short, the staie of the citie at that present was most mise|rable. The maiors deputie kept himselfe close in his house, and might behold all this mischiefe and de|struction of the citie, but durst not come abroad, nor go about to staie them: at length, a great multitude of the rebels that were come downe frõ their campe, entering by saint Augustines gate, came straight to his house, and stroue to breake open the doores: but when they could not easilie bring their purpose to passe that waie foorth, they began to fire the house. Wherevpon for feare to be burned within his owne lodging,The alder|mans depu| [...] roughlie handled to tell where the lord marquesse had hidden him|self. he set open the doores, and in came those vn|manerlie ghests, tooke him, plucked his gowne be|side his backe, called him traitor, and threatened to kill him, if he would not tell them where the lord marquesse of Northampton had hidden himselfe.
