Compare 1577 edition: 1 ¶Some write (as before in a marginall note I haue quoted) that the archbishop of Canturburie went with the earle of Northumberland vnto Con|waie, and there talked with him: and further, that euen then the king offered, in consideration of his in|sufficiencie to gouerne, freelie to resigne the crowne, and his kinglie title to the same, vnto the duke of Hereford. But forsomuch as those that were conti|nuallie attendant about the king, during the whole time of his abode at Conwaie, and till his comming to Flint, doo plainelie affirme, that the archbishop came not to him, till this tuesdaie before his remoo|uing from Flint vnto Chester, it maie be thought (the circumstances well considered) that he rather made that promise here at Flint, than at Conwaie, although by the tenour of an instrument, conteining the declaration of the archbishop of Yorke, and other commissioners sent from the estates assembled in the next parlement, vnto the said king, it is recorded to be at Conwaie, as after ye maie read. But there maie be some default in the copie, as taking the one place for the other.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 But wheresoeuer this offer was made, after that the archbishop had now here at Flint communed with the king, he departed, and taking his horsse a|gaine, rode backe to meet the duke, who began at that present to approch the castell, and compassed it round about, euen downe to the sea, with his people ran|ged in good and séemelie order, at the foot of the moun|teins: and then the earle of Northumberland pas|sing foorth of the castell to the duke, talked with him a while in sight of the king, being againe got vp to the walles, to take better view of the armie, being now aduanced within two bowe shootes of the castell, to the small reioising (ye may be sure) of the sorowfull king. The earle of Northumberland returning to the castell, appointed the king to be set to dinner (for he was fasting till then) and after he had dined, the duke came downe to the castell himselfe, and entred the same all armed, his bassenet onelie excepted, and being within the first gate, he staied there, till the king came foorth of the inner part of the castell vnto him.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The king accompanied with the bishop of Car|leill, the earle of Salisburie, and sir Stephan Scroope knight, who bare the sword before him, and a few o|ther, came foorth into the vtter ward, and sate downe in a place prepared for him. Foorthwith as the duke got sight of the king,The dukes behauiour to the king at their meéting. he shewed a reuerend dutie as became him, in bowing his knée, and comming for|ward, did so likewise the second and third time, till the king tooke him by the hand, and lift him vp, saieng; Déere cousine, ye are welcome. The duke humblie thanking him said;

My souereigne lord and king,The dukes demand. the cause of my comming at this present, is (your honor saued) to haue againe restitution of my person, my lands and heritage, through your fauourable licence. The king hervnto answered; Déere cousine, I am readie to accomplish your will, so that ye may inioy all that is yours, without exception.
