Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The citizens [...] Norwich.The daie before that Ket came to this place, a great number of the meaner sort of the citizens of Norwich had throwne downe a quickset hedge, and filled vp the diches, wherewith the foresaid commons were on the one side inclosed, to kéepe in the cattell of the citizens that had the same going before their common neatherd: and so that fense which by good and prouident aduise of their forefathers, had beene raised and made for the common profit of the whole citie, was thus by a sort of lewd persons defaced and cast downe at that present. And scarse had they throwne downe the dich in the vpper end of this pa|sture, but that a companie of euill disposed persons stale out of the citie, and got them to Kets campe. The maior of the citie named Thomas Cod aduerti|sed hereof,Thomas Cod. doubting what might follow of this mis|chiefous begun rebellion, thought good to trie if he might persuade the rebels to giue ouer their traito|rous enterprises: and therfore taking certeine of the aldermen with him, he went to Kets campe, vsing what persuasions he could to reduce them vnto their dutifull obedience, & to depart home to their houses. But his trauell was in vaine, and therefore retur|ned backe to the citie without hope to doo anie good with that vnrulie rout.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 After whose departure, they considering in what danger they stood to be surprised, if they should scat|ter abroad in such sort as till then they had doone, séeking to wast and spoile the countrie about them, without kéeping togither in anie warlike order, thought it stood most with their suertie to draw into one place, and to fortifie the same for their further strength. Upon this resolution they determined to go with all spéed vnto Mousehold, a place as they tooke it meet for their purpose, and therefore sent to the maior of Norwich,The rebels request licence to passe tho|rough Nor|wich. requesting him of licence to passe through the citie, bicause it was their néerest waie, promising not to offer anie iniurie or violence to anie person, but quietlie to march through the citie vnto their place appointed. But the maior did not on|lie denie them passage, but also with sharpe and bitter speach reprouing their rebellious dooings, told them what whould follow thereof, if they gaue not ouer in time from further proceeding in such wicked at|tempts.
