Compare 1587 edition: 1 But now to cõclude touching ye doings of this Ewin, ye ſhal vnderſtand,Ewin is pur|ſued and for|ſaken of his ſubiectes. yt at length ſuch lords as greatly abhorred his vile conditions and vſa|ges, conſpired agaynſt him, and rayſing an ar|mie of their friendes and partakers, encountered with him in the fielde, and there tooke him priſo|ner, being deſtitute of all ayde and ſuccours: For ſuch as he brought with him not once offered to ſtrike one ſtroke in his quarell.

Compare 1587 edition: 1 Ewin being thus taken,Ewin condem|ned to perpe|tual priſon. was by and by con|demned to perpetuall priſon: and Cadallane of whome ye haue heard before, immediately pro|claymed gouernour of the Realme. Howbeit the night following after that Ewin (according to the iudgement pronounced agaynſt him, was committed vnto warde) a preſumptuous yong man, in hope to haue thankes of Cadallane, en|tred into the chamber where he was encloſed,Ewyn is ſtrangled. and there ſtrangled him. But in ſteede of thankes he was recompenced with death: for Cadallane de|teſting ſuch a wicked deed, cauſed him to be han|ged in open ſight of all men.
