Compare 1577 edition: 1 Oxenford. Ger. Dor. The king and duke meet at Dunstable.But now to the purpose. Shortlie after that the king and duke Henrie had béene togither at Oxen|ford, where they ended all things touching the peace & concord betwixt them concluded, they met againe at Dunstable, where some cloud of displeasure see|med to darken the bright sunshine of the late begun loue and amitie betwixt those two mightie princes the king and the duke.Articles not performed. For where it was accorded (among other articles) that all the castels which had béene built since the daies of the late king Henrie for euill intents and purposes, should be razed and throwne downe: contrarie therevnto (notwithstan|ding manie of them were ouerthrowne and destroied to the accomplishment of that article) diuers through the kings permission were suffered to stand. And when the duke complained to the king thereof, he could not get at that time any redresse, which some|what troubled him: but yet bicause he would not giue occasion of any new trouble, nor offend the king, to whom (as to his reputed father) he would seeme to yeeld all honour and due reuerence, he pas|sed it ouer.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 The king and duke come to Canturburie.Within a while after, the king and he came to Canturburie, where they were solemnlie receiued of the couent of Christes church with procession. After this, in the Lent season they went to Douer, where they talked with Theodorike earle of Flanders, and with the countesse his wife who was aunt to duke Henrie. At their comming towards Canturburie (as it was bruted) the duke should haue béene mur|thered, through treason of the Flemings that enui|ed both the dukes person,The enuie of the Flemings and also that peace which he had concluded with the king. But sée the hap. As this feat should haue béene wrought on Berhamdowne, William earle of Northfolke king Stephan his sonne, who was one of the chéefe conspirators, fell be|side his horsse, and brake his leg, so that euerie man by that sudden chance was in a maze, & came woon|dering about him. ¶ This no doubt came to passe by the prouidence of God, though such accidents are commonlie imputed to casualtie or chance medlie. For it is the worke of God either to preuent, or to in|tercept, or to recompense the vnnaturall conspira|cies of traitors and rebels with some notable plague: according to that of the poet;
