Compare 1577 edition: 1 We find, that he was taken with his last sicke|nesse, Fabian. while he was making his praiers at saint Ed|wards shrine, there as it were to take his leaue, and so to procéed foorth on his iournie: he was so sudden|lie and greeuouslie taken, that such as were about him, feared least he would haue died presentlie, wher|fore to reléeue him (if it were possible) they bare him into a chamber that was next at hand, belonging to the abbat of Westminster, where they laid him on a pallet before the fire, and vsed all remedies to reuiue him. At length, he recouered his spéech, and vnder|standing and perceiuing himselfe in a strange place which he knew not, he willed to know if the chamber had anie particular name, wherevnto answer was made, that it was called Ierusalem.

And yet doubtlesse, woorthie were his subiects to tast of that bitter cup, sithens they were so readie to ioine and clappe hands with him, for the deposing of their rightfull and naturall prince king Richard, whose chéefe fault rested onlie in that, that he was too boun|tifull to his fréends, and too mercifull to his foes; spe|ciallie if he had not béene drawne by others, to séeke reuenge of those that abused his good and courteous nature. ¶But now to returne to the matter present. The duke of Clarence immediatlie vpon knowlege had of his father king Henrie the fourth his death, returned out of Guien into England, with the earle of Angolesme, and other prisoners.
