Compare 1577 edition: 1 Neuerthelesse there be that write, that the king (to cut off the branches of such mischeefe now in the first budding thereof) to satisfie in part the desire of those rude people, Froi [...]ard. went downe the riuer in his barge to Rethereth, and there néere the shore keeping himselfe still on the water, talked with a great number of them that came downe to the riuer side. But forso|much as he would not come foorth of his barge to them on land, which they seemed most to desire, they were in a great rage, and so for that they could not haue him amongst them (as they wished) in furious wise they ran to the citie, and at the first approach,The rebels spoile South+warke, and [...] all prisoners at large. they spoiled the burrough of Southwarke, brake vp the prisons of the Marshalsea, & the Kings bench, set the prisoners at libertie, & admitted them into their companie.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 This was on Corpus Christi daie, as the same au|thors write, that the king should thus talke with them: but their first entring into Southwarke, was on Corpus Christi euen, as Thomas Walsingham saith, passing at their pleasure to and fro the bridge all that night: for although the lord maior,The cõmons of London aiders of the rebels. and other of the best citizens would gladlie haue closed the gates against them, yet they durst not doo it, for feare of the commons of the citie, who seemed to fauour the cause of the rebels so apparantlie, that they threat|ned to kill both the lord maior, & all other that would take vpon them to shut the gates against the com|mons. The Londoners liked better of the com|mons,All rebels [...] tend [...] but [...] purpose des|truction [...] of king [...] countrie. for that they protested the cause of their as|sembling togither, was not but to seeke out the trai|tors of the realme, and when they had found them foorth, and punished them according to that they had deserued, they ment to be quiet. And to giue the more EEBO page image 431 credit to their saiengs, they suffered none of their companie to rob or spoile, but caused them to paie for that they tooke.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 On the morrow being Corpus Christ day, on the which day it is reported that the king should talke with them at Rethereth (as before ye haue heard) af|ter that they saw that they could not haue him to come and talke with them on land, as they wished, and that now they had filled their heads full with the fume of such wines as they dranke in euerie mans celler that was set open for them, enter who would: they fell in talke with the Londoners of manie lewd deuises, as of the apprehending of traitors, and speci|allie concerning such misliking as they had of the duke of Lancaster, whom they hated aboue all other persons. And herevpon agréeing in one mind, after diuerse other of their outragious dooings, they ran the same day to the said dukes house of the Sauoie,The Sauoie the duke of Lancasters house burnt by the rebels. to the which in beautie and statelinesse of building, with all maner of princelie furniture, there was not any other in the realme comparable, which in despite of the duke, whom they called traitor, they set on fire, and by all waies and means indeuoured vtterlie to destroie it.
