Compare 1577 edition: 1 After that quéene Marie was thus with full con|sent of the nobles and commons of the realme pro|clamed quéene, she being then in Northfolke, at hir castell of Framingham,Quéene Ma|rie commeth to London. repaired with all speed to the citie of London: and the third daie of the said moneth of August she came to the said citie, and so to the tower, where the ladie Iane of Suffolke (late afore proclamed quéene) with hir husband the lord Gilford, a little before hir comming, were commit|ted to ward, & there remained almost after fiue mo|neths. And by the waie, as the quéene thus passed, she was ioifullie saluted of all the people, without anie misliking; sauing that it was much feared of manie, that she would alter the religion set foorth by king Edward hir brother, whereof then were giuen iust occasions: because (notwithstanding diuerse lawes made to the contrarie) she had dailie masse and La|tine seruice said before hir in the tower. Yea it was doubted in like sort, that she would both adnull and innouat certeine lawes and decrées established by the yoong prince hir predecessor: which she did in deed, as one hath left testified in a memoriall of hir succes|sion (but little vnto hir commendation) saieng:
At Maria Eduardi regni succedit habenis,Confirmans iterùm regno papalia iura,Concilióque nouas leges sancire vocatoMolitur, latas à fratre perosa priores.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 At hir entrie into the tower there were presented to hir certeine prisoners; namelie,Prisoners discharged. Thomas duke of Norffolke, who in the last yeare of king Henrie the eight (as you haue heard) was supposed to be attain|ted of treason: but in the parlement of this first EEBO page image 1089 yeare of quéene Marie, the said supposed attaindour was by the authoritie and act of parlement, for good and apparant causes alleged in the said act, decla|red to be vtterlie frustrat and void. Also Edward Courtneie son and heire to Henrie marques of Ex|cester, coosine germane to king Henrie the eight, and Cutbert Tunstall bishop of Durham, with o|ther persons of great calling; but speciallie Stephan Gardiner bishop of Winchester, whom she not onlie released out of imprisonment,Stephan Gardiner made lord chancellor. but also immediatlie aduanced and preferred to be lord chancellor of Eng|land, restoring him also to his former estate and bi|shoprike, and remoued from the same one doctor Poinet, who a little before was placed therein by the gift of king Edward the sixt.

2 And touching
Edward Courtneie, she not onelie aduanced him to the earldome of Deuonshire,Edward
Courtneie created earle of Deuon|shire. but also to so much of his fathers possessions as there
re|mained in hir hands; whereby it was then thought of manie, that she bare affection to him by the
waie of marriage: but it came not so to passe (for what cause I am not
able to giue anie reason) but surelie the subiects of England were most desirous thereof. Upon the receiuing
of this new queene, all the bishops which had béene depriued in the time of king Edward the sixt hir
brother,Bishops re|stored and o|thers depri|ued. for the cause of reli|gion,
were now againe restored to their bishopriks; and such other as were placed in king Edward his time, remoued
from their sées, and others of con|trarie religion placed. Amongest whom, Edmund Bonner doctor of the lawes, late afore depriued from the sée of London, and committed
prisoner to the Marshalsea by order of king Edwards councell, was with all fauour restored to his libertie
and bi|shoprike. Maister Nicholas Ridleie doctor in diuini|tie, late before aduanced to the same sée by the
said king, was hastilie displaced, and committed priso|ner to the tower of London. The cause why such
ex|tremitie was vsed towards the said bishop Ridleie, more than to the rest, was for that in the time of
ladie Iane,
Why Ridleie was more ri|gorouslie handled than the rest.
