Compare 1577 edition: 1 Sir Edward Poinings according to his commis|sion, intending to punish such as had aided and ad|uanced the enterprise of Perkin, with his whole ar|mie marched forward against the wild Irishmen, bi|cause that all other being culpable of that offense, fled and resorted to them for succour. But when he saw that his purpose succéeded not as he would haue wished it; both bicause the Irish lords sent him no succour according to their promises; and also for that his owne number was not sufficient to furnish his enterprise, bicause his enimies were dispersed a|mongst woods, mounteins, and marishes: he was constreined to recule backe, sore displeased in his mind against Gerald earle of Kildare, being then the kings deputie.
