Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Dissention be+twixt prince Edward and the earle of Glocester.In the meane time that king Henrie was thus occupied in France, dissention fell in England be|twéene prince Edward and Richard earle of Gloce|ster, for the appeasing whereof a parlement was cal|led at Westminster, to the which the lords came with great companies, and speciallie the said prince and earle. They intended to haue lodged within the citie: but the maior going vnto the bishop of Worcester, to sir Hugh Bigod, and to sir Philip Basset (vnto whome, and to the archbishop of Canturburie, the K. had committed the rule of the land in his absence) required to know their pleasure herein. Wherevpon they thought it good to haue the aduise of Richard the king of Almaine, and therevpon went to him, where they concluded,Prince Ed|ward and the earle of Gloc [...]|ster are not suffered to come within the citie of London. that neither the said prince nor earle nor anie of their partakers should come within the citie, the gates whereof were by the maiors appoint|ment closed and kept with watch and ward both day and night. Soone after also, for the more safegard of the citie, the gates were by the maiors appointment closed and kept with diligent watch and ward both day and night. Soone after also for the more safegard of the said citie, and sure kéeping of the peace, the king of Almaine with the said sir Hugh and sir Phi|lip came and lodged in the citie with their compa|nies, and such other as they would assigne, to streng|then the citie if need required. Wherin their prouident consent to withstand so foule a mischeefe as sedition might haue bred in the citie, deserueth high com|mendation, for it was the next waie to preserue the state thereof against all occasions of ruine, to vnite harts and hands in so swéet an harmonie, which the law of nature teacheth men to doo, and as by this sage sentence is insinuated and giuen to vnderstand,

Manus manum lauat & digitus digitum,

Vir virum & ciuitas seruat ciuitatem.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Shortlie after, the king returned out of France, and about the feast of S. Marke came to London,The king re|turneth into England. and lodged in the bishops palace. And bicause of cer|teine rumors that were spred abroad sounding to some euill meaning, which prince Edward should haue against his father, the king brought ouer with him a great power of men in armes being stran|gers, howbeit he brought them not into the citie, but left them beyond the bridge in the parts of Surrie, notwithstanding being entred the citie, he so kept the gates and entries, that none was permitted to en|ter, but such as came in by his sufferance. The earle of Glocester by his appointment also was lodged within the citie, and the prince in the palace at West|minster. Shortlie after by the kings commandement he remooued to S. Iohns, & all the other lords were lodged without the citie, and the king of Almaine remooued againe to Westminster. In which time a direction was taken betweene the said parties, and a now assemblie and parlement assigned to be kept in the quindene of S. Iohn Baptist, and after defer|red or proroged till the feast of saint Edward, at the which time all things were paci [...]ed a while, but so as the earle of Glocester was put beside the roome which he had amongst other the peeres, and so then he ioined in fréendship with the earle of Leiscester,The earle of Glocester con|federateth [...] selfe with the earle of Lei|cester. as it were by way of confederacie against the resi|due, and yet in this last contention, the said earle of Leicester tooke part with the prince against the earle of Glocester.
