These billes when the councell had well perused, they did not onelie disalow and condemne them and the authors, as proud and presumptuous; but also per|suaded the king rather to suppresse those rebels by force, than by faire promises. Wherevpon the king remoued from Westminster vnto G [...]eenewich, from whence he would haue sent certeine lords with a power to haue distressed the Kentishmen, but the men said to their lords they would not fight against them that laboured to amend the common-weale: wherefore the lords were driuen to leaue their pur|pose. And bicause the Kentishmen cried out against the lord Saie the kings chamberline, he was by the king committed to the Tower of London. Then went the king againe to London,King Henrie went against the Kentish|men with a great power. & within two dais after went against the Kentishmen with fiftéene thousand men well prepared for the war: but the said Kentishmen fled the night before his comming into the wood countrie neere vnto Senocke. Wherevpon the king returned againe to London.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The quéene (that bare rule) being of his retrait aduertised, sent sir Humfreie Stafford knight, and William his brother, with manie other gentlemen, to follow the Kentishmen, thinking that they had fled: but they were deceiued, for at the first skirmish both the Staffords were slaine,The Staf|fords slaine at Senocke by Iacke Cade. & all their companie discomfited. The kings armie by this time comen to Blackheath, hearing of this discomfiture, began to murmur amongst themselues: some wishing the duke of Yorke at home to aid the capteine his cou|sine: s [...]me vndutifullie coueting the ouerthrow of the king and his councell: other openlie crieng out on the quéene and hir complices.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 This rumor published abroad, caused the king and certeine of his councell (for the appeasing thereof) to commit the lord Saie treasuror of England to the Tower of London; and if other (against whome like displeasure was borne) had beene present, they had béene likewise committed. Iacke Cade vpon victo|rie against the Staffords, apparelled himselfe in sir Humfries brigan [...]ine set full of guilt nailes, and so in some glorie returned againe toward London; di|uerse idle and vagarant persons out of Sussex, Sur|reie and other places, still increasing his number. Thus this glorious capteine, garded with a multi|tude of rusticall people, came againe to the plaine of Blackheath, & there stronglie incamped himselfe: to whome were sent from the king, the archbishop of Canturburie, and Humfrie duke of Buckingham, to common with him of his gréefes and requests.
