Compare 1577 edition: 1 Six archbish. present at London in time of the parlement.Héere is further to be noted, that there were pre|sent at this parlement six archbishops, Canturburie, Yorke, Dubline, Messina, Tarento and Cullen. The archbishop of Messina was come to the king to set him on dotage for the businesse about the conquest of Naples and Sicill. At the feast of Ester next follow|ing, the archbishop of Cullen returned into his coun|trie,The elect K. of Almaine taketh his leaue of the king his bro|ther. and the third day after Easter, the elect king of Almaine tooke his leaue, and departed toward Yar|mouth, where he purposed to take the sea, to saile ouer into Almaine, but by reason of contrarie winds he was driuen to remaine there a long time, to his great gréefe and inestimable charges before he could passe ouer; yet finallie, about the latter end of Aprill, he got foorth to the sea, and landed at Dordreigh the first of Maie next insuing.He landeth at Dordreigh. A synod.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 About the same time, the archbishop of Canturbu|rie called a synod of the bishops and abbats inhabi|ting within his prouince, that inuocating the grace of the Holie-ghost, they might foresee some redresse for reléefe of the English church, now in these late yeares sore disquieted by new oppressions, more grée|uous than had béene accustomed: for the king by counsell, or rather by the whispering of some flatte|rers and enimies to the realme, was so induced, that he permitted certeine euill customs, as thornie brem|bles to increase in the fruitfull garden of pleasure, and to choke vp the trees that brought foorth fruit in great plentie. Moreouer in this yeare, king Henrie caused the walles of the citie of London, Matth. Paris. which w [...]re sore decaied and destitute of turrets, to be repared in more seemelie wise than before they had béene, at the common charges of the citie.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 A decrée made by the pope.There was an ordinance made at Rome by the pope and his cardinals (which verie diligentlie fore|saw to aduance their temporall commodities, not much passing for other mens aduantages) that eue|rie one which should be chosen an exempt abbat, should come to the court of Rome to be there confir|med, and receiue the popes blessing, by which heinous ordinance, religion was laid open to great danger, and the church depriued of temporall prosperitie (as saith Matthew Paris) for by this means (saith he) it was needfull for religious men, to choose to their gouernour a man not religious, but rather halfe temporall, Matth. Paris The moonks of Durham that were ex|cõmunicated are now ab|solued. and such a one as to whome rather Iusti|nians lawes than Christes which conuerteth soules should be familiar. The moonks of Durham, who on|lie with the canons of Gisborne resisted the wicked procéedings of the popes exactors, and stood therefore interdicted a long time, at length, after manie alter|cations, were absolued. Oh (saith Matth. Paris) if in that their tribulation they might haue had fellows, and in their constant doings aidors, how happilie had the church of England triumphed ouer hir tormen|tors and oppressors!
