Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 When he had thus said, the king bad him be of good comfort, and promised him that whatsoeuer he were, it should neuer repent him of his comming to him.] Shortlie after, hauing this Perkin with him in companie,The Scotish king inuadeth Englãd with a great armie in Perkin his behalfe. he entered into England with a puissant armie, and caused proclamation to be made, to spare all those that would submit themselues vnto Richard duke of Yorke. Héerewith they began the warre in most cruell maner, with slaughter of men, burning of townes, spoiling of houses, and committing of all other detestable enormities; so that all the countrie of Northumberland was by them in maner wasted, and destroied. At length, when the souldiers were la|den with spoiles, and saciate with bloud, perceiuing that no succoures came out of England vnto the new inuented duke, contrarie to that which he had made them to beleeue would come to passe; they de|termined to retire rather with assured gaine, than to tarrie the vncerteine victorie of that counterfeit duke, and so therevpon they withdrew backe into Scotland inriched with preies and booties.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 It is said, that Perkin Warbecke, being retur|ned into Scotland with the king of Scots, vnder a cloked pretense should sore lament the great slaugh|ter, spoile, and damage, which had béene doone at this last roade made into England; and therefore as one that bare a naturall loue toward his natiue coun|trie,The counter|feit compassi|on of Perkin. besought the king of Scots, that from thense|foorth, he would no more so deface his naturall relme, and destroie his subiects with such terrible fire, flame and hauocke; as who should saie, he being ouercome now with compassion, did bewaile the cruell destruc|tion of his naturall countrie of England. But the Scotish K. told him, that he seemed to take thought for that which appeared to be none of his, sith that not so much as one gentleman or yeoman (for ought he could see) would once shew themselues readie to aid him in the warre begun for his cause, & in his name, within that realme which he pretended so cléerelie to apperteine to him.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Anno Reg. 12.The king of England being certified of this inua|sion, prepared an armie with all diligence to haue resisted the Scots: but they were returned yer the English power could assemble togither. Now when the king was truelie certified that the Scotish king was returned home, he staied all the preparations made at that time to go against him. But yet mean|ing to be reuenged of the wrongs doone to him by king Iames and his people;A parlement of the thrée e|states of the realme. he first called a parle|ment, and in that assemblie of three estates of the realme, he declared the cause of the instant warre, and how necessarie it should be for the suertie and wealth of the realme of England to haue that warre pursued against those enimies that had begun it. To this motion all the nobilitie wholie agréed.A subsidie. And to the maintenance of that warre, a subsidie was by whole assent of the parlement fréelie giuen and granted. Which paiment though it was not great, yet manie of the common people sore grudged to pay the same, as they that euer abhorre such taxes and exactions. At the same parlement were diuerse acts and sta|tutes made, necessarie & expedient (as was thought) for the publike weale of the realme.
