¶This doone, saith one historien, the duke of Yorke, Abr. Fl. ex I. S pag. 678, 679. in Quart. the earles of Warwike, and Salisburie, came vnto the king where he was, and be sought him on their knées of grace and forgiuenesse for that they had doone in his presence, and besought him of his high|nesse to take them to grace, and as his true liege men. The king desiring them to cease their people, that there should be no more hurt doone, and to obeie his commandement, did cause to be proclamed in the kings name, that all manner of people should cease off their malice, and not to smite one stroke more, and so ceased the battell. And vpon the day next after, the king and the duke of Yorke, the earles of Warwike & Salisburie, came all to London; and were lodged in the bishops palace of London, where they kept their Whitsuntide with great ioy and so|lemnitie, concluding there to hold a parlement, the same to begin on the ninth daie of Iulie next follow|ing.]

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Another historien saith, that the duke of Yorke, ad|uertised of the place into the which the king was withdrawne for the safetie of himselfe, and taking him into his power, comforted him in the best wise he could; assuring him, that now that the common enimie of the realme was dispatched, to wit, the duke EEBO page image 644 of Summerset, he had cause rather to reioise, than to be sorie, sith his destruction was the kings preser|uation. And for himselfe and all his adherents he vn|dertooke, that they were and would remaine, during life, his most faithfull liege people, readie in all points to serue him, as his trustie and obedient sub|iects. After he had vsed such words, as wherewith best to comfort him, he brought the king foorth of that sim|ple house with all due reuerence shewed toward him first to the shrine, and after to his chamber.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 Whilest the duke of Yorke was about thus to com|fort the king, the soldiers that had the victorie now in their hands, applied the spoile, namelie, the Northerne men, stripping not onelie those that had borne armor against them, but also the townsmen and other, with whom they might méet. So that it was thought, if the king had taken vp his lodging at his first comming thither, within the abbeie, as he did not (but in the middest of the towne, to prouide the better to resist his enimies) the abbeie had beene spoiled also. This was the end of the first battell at saint Albons,Battell of S. Albons on thursday the 23 of Maie. Anno Reg. 33. which was fought vpon the thursdaie next before the feast of Penthecost, being the thrée and twentith day of Maie, in this three and thirtith yeare of the kings reigne.
