Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 But now to returne where we left. At the time of the solemnization of the foresaid marriage holden at Winchester (as before ye haue heard) the empe|rors ambassadors being present, openlie pronoun|ced, that in consideration of that marriage, the em|peror had giuen and granted to the said prince his sonne the kingdome of Naples and Ierusalem,The empe| [...]s gift to the prince his [...]. with diuerse other seats and segniories. The solemnitie of that marriage ended, the king of heralds called Garter, openlie in the church in the presence of the king, the quéene, & the lords as well of England as Spaine, all the people being present, solemnelie proclamed the title and stile of those two princes, as followeth:The title of [...] belong| [...]g both to P [...]ilip and Marie pro|clamed by the [...] Philip and Marie by the grace of God king and queene of England, France, Naples, Ie|rusalem, and Ireland, defendors of the faith, princes of Spaine and Sicilie, archdukes of Austrich, dukes of Millaine, Burgundie, and Brabant, counties of Haspurge, Flanders, and Tiroll. The proclamati|on being ended, the trumpets blew, and the king with the queene came forth of the church hand in hand and two swords borne before them, and so returned to their palace.

¶By this time report had sufficientlie sounded a|brode all that happened, speciallie the solemnities ex|ecuted about this roiall marriage; whereby some supposed that this land would haue become a golden world, and that such amitie would haue insued be|tweene both nations, as nothing should dissolue. But others were of a contrarie opinion, supposing (as it came to passe indéed) that the peoples minds would be alienated and estranged from the disposition whereto they were addicted in king Edwards daies, and that manie would become heauie hearted vpon heare-saie of this coniunction; much more pensife & grieued at the meditation of the miseries which were like immediatlie to follow; as C. O. noteth in dis|coursing on this matter, saieng as here follo weth:

Succedit regi defuncto, sceptra capescens

Foemina, cui nomen Maria est, soror vna duarum

Ex stirpe Henrici: quae paucis nupta diebus

Post homini externo consanguineóque Philippo,

Coniugio talisubtristes reddidit Anglos,

Námque duas gentes rarò coalescere cernas

Vnanimes patria plerunque & amore diremptas.
