This sir Robert Walk|fare was a great procurer of the discord betwixt the king and the lords, and a chéefe leader, or rather sedu|cer of that noble man Humfrie de Bohune earle of Hereford: and whilest other gaue themselues to seeke a reformation in the decaied state of the com|monwealth, he set his mind vpon murders and rob|beries. Diuerse other about the same time fled out of the realme vnto the queene, and vnto hir sonne the earle of Chester.The bishop of Excester cõ|meth from the quéene. But in the meane time, Walter Stapleton bishop of Excester, which hitherto had re|mained with the queene in France, stale now from hir, and got ouer into England, opening to the king all the counsell and whole mind of the queene: which thing turned first of all vnto his owne destruction, as shall after appeare.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The king of England stood not onelie in doubt of the Frenchmen, but more of his owne people that remained in France, least they thorough helpe of the French should inuade the land, and therefore he com|manded the hauens and ports to be suerlie watched, lest some sudden inuasion might happilie be attemp|ted, for it was well vnderstood, that the queene meant not to returne, till she might bring with hir the lord Mortimer, and the other banished men, who in no wise could obteine anie fauour at the kings hands, so long as the Spensers bare rule. ¶ The pope la|menting this matter, sent two bishops into Eng|land, to reconcile the king and quéene, and also to a|gree the two kings. These bishops were reuerentlie receiued, but more than reuerence here they obteined not, and so departed as they came.
