Compare 1587 edition: 1 Alpine his ex|cuſe vnto Dongall.Alpine giuing the king moſt hartie thankes, beſought him to continue in the adminiſtration, drawing God and the worlde to witneſſe, that he minded nothing leſſe than to be about to clayme the gouernment of the kingdome ſo long as hee liued. For as touching his offence, in that he had gathered an armie and ledde the ſame into Ar|gyle, it was not his fault, but the conſpiratours which had forced him thereto, being determined to haue ſlaine him, if he had not conſented vnto theyr deſires.
Compare 1587 edition: 1 Within three dayes after,Dongall ma|keth an army againſt the rebelles. there came meſſen|gers from the rebelles to excuſe themſelues alſo, and to put all the fault in Alpine: but king Don|gall giuing ſmall credite to their forged wordes, gathereth his power, and maketh ſuch ſpeede to|wardes the place where he vnderſtood the ſayd re|bels were aſſembled togither, that he was vpon them ere they had any knowledge of his ſetting forwarde. So that before they coulde make any ſhift to eſcape out of daunger, which they went a|bout to do, they were apprehended, and immedi|ately condemned and put to death. Which exe|cution put other preſumptuous perſons in feare, ſo that the ſtate of the Realme remayned after|wards a great deale the more in quiet.
