The Holinshed Texts (1587, Volume 6, p. 644)

Compare 1577 edition: 1 But all the blame was put vpon the duke of Summerset, Whethamsted Collaterall. A letter kept from the king of purpose. Thomas Thorp, baron of the escheker, and William Iosep esquier, the kings collaterall companion; bicause that they, vpon malicious pur|pose, kept a certeine letter from the kings know|ledge, and would in no wise suffer it to be deliuered vnto him, notwithstanding the same made to the ad|uancement of some good peace, had it béene through|lie and aduisedlie read, weied & considered. In which letter they declared, that as faithfull and humble sub|iects, they required onelie, that it would please the king (whose honor, health, suertie, and preseruation, they chéefelie wished) not to giue credence to their ad|uersaries malicious suggestions, till their comming to his presence, vnto the which they humblie be sought him that they might be admitted as his faithfull liege people, to shew the intent and purpose of their commings; which was to none other end, than to de|clare their fidelitie and allegiance towards his most roiall person, intending to put themselues with as much diligence and trauell in all things that might aduance his honour, health, and safegard, as any sub|iect he had liuing.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The kéeping backe of this letter from the kings sight and knowledge, did minister matter sufficient vnto the parlement, to colour and iustifie for well doone all transgressions committed in the late battell and chase at saint Albons.

and the earle of Salisburie was appointed to be lord chancellour, and had the great seale to him deliuered, and the earle of Warwike was elected to the office of the capteineship of Calis, and the territories of the same; and thus the rule of the realme rested in the orders of the duke and chancellour, and all warlike affaires remained principallie in the earle of War|wike. And so amongest them it was agréed,The king to reigne in name but no [...] in authoritie. that king Henrie should reigne still in name and digni|tie, but neither in déed nor in authoritie; not minding to destroie him, least they might suddenlie prouoke the furie of the common people against them, bicause that of the simple sort of people he was for his holi|nesse of life, and abundant clemencie, much fauou|red and highlie estéemed.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 In this parlement also it was enacted, Whethãsted. An act for the K. to r [...]uoke certeine grants. that the king should resume, take into his hands againe, haue and reteine into his possession, all honours, ca|stels, lordships, townes, villages, manours, lands, tenements, wasts, forests, chases, rents, reuersions, fées, farmes, seruices, issues, profits, counties, ad|uousons of priories, churches, hospitals, and free cha|pels, and all other reuenues with their appurtenan|ces, the which had passed from him since the first daie of his reigne vnto that present; either by his letters patents, or authoritie of parlement, and manie other meanes, whether by grant, confirmation, or release from him made in fée simple, or fée taile, for tearme of life or yeares, to anie maner of person and per|sons in England, Wales, Scotland, or the marches; in Ireland, or in the townes of Calis, & Guisnes, & the marches there. And likewise all grants made of such things as are aboue mentioned, being parcell of the duchie of Lancaster; and further all grants of offices, roomes, fees, wages, or commodities, not ac|customed to belong to anie office or charge before the said first daie of the kings reigne, were likewise reuoked.
