Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 About the nether end of Cornehill toward Cheape, one of the knights about hir grace had espied an an|cient citizen,Certein notes of the quéenes maiesties great mercie clemencie, and wisdome vsed in this p [...]ssag [...] which wept, and turned his head backe, and therewith said this gentleman; Yonder is an al|derman (for so he tearmed him) which wéepeth, and turneth his face backeward; how maie it be inter|preted that he so dooth, for sorrow, or for gladnesse? The quéens maiestie heard him, and said, I warrant you it is for gladnesse. A gratious interpretation of a noble courage, which would turne the doubtfull to the best. And yet it was well knowne, that as hir grace did confirme the same,Of one that wept for ioy and inward gladnesse. the parties cheare was mooued for verie pure gladnesse for the sight of hir maiesties person, at the beholding whereof he tooke such comfort, that with teares he expressed the same. In Cheape side hir grace smiled, and being thereof demanded the cause, answered, for that she heard one saie; Remember old king Henrie the eight. A natu|rall child, which at the verie remembrance of hir fa|thers name, tooke so great a ioy, that all men maie well thinke, that as she reioised at his name whome this realme dooth hold of so woorthie memorie: so in hir dooings she will resemble the same.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 When the cities charge without parcialitie, and onelie the citie was mentioned vnto hir grace, shée said it should not be forgotten. Which saieng might mooue all naturall Englishmen hartilie to shew due obedience and intiernesse to their so good a queene, which will in no point forget anie parcell of dutie lo|uinglie shewed vnto hir. The answer which hir grace made vnto maister recorder of London, as the hea|rers know it to be true, & with melting hearts heard the same: so maie the reader thereof conceiue what kind of stomach and courage pronounced the same. What more famous thing doo we read in ancient histories of old time,The humble|nesse of the quéene in re|ceiuing verie trifles of hir poore subiect [...] thankefullie. than that mightie princes haue gentlie receiued presents offered them by base and low personages. If that be to be woondered at (as it is passinglie) let me sée anie writer that in anie prin|ces life is able to recount so manie presidents of this vertue, as hir grace shewed in that one passage tho|rough the citie.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 How manie nosegaies did hir grace receiue at poore womens hands? How oftentimes staid she hir chariot, when she saw anie simple bodie offer to speake to hir grace? A branch of rosemarie giuen hir grace with a supplication by a poore woman about Fleetbridge, was séene in hir chariot till hir grace came to Westminster, not without the maruellous woondering of such as knew the presenter, and no|ted the quéens most gratious receiuing and keeping the same. What hope the poore and néedie maie looke for at hir graces hand, she as in all hir iournie conti|nuallie, so in hir hearkening to the poore children of Christs hospitall Where hir mind then was no dou [...] in heauen vpon God. with eies cast vp into heauen, did fullie declare: as that neither the wealthier estate could stand without consideration had to the pouer|tie, neither the pouertie be dulie considered, vnlesse they were remembred, as commended vnto vs by Gods owne mouth.
