Compare 1577 edition: 1 The lords of the councell, being in this meane while at London,The lords of the councell suspecting that all would go against them, procla|med the ladie Marie quéen. after they vnderstood how the bet|ter part of the realme were inclined, and hearing euerie daie newes of great assemblies, began to sus|pect the sequell of this enterprise. So that prouiding for their owne suertie, without respect of the duke (who now was at Burie) they fell to a new councell, and lastlie by assent made proclamation at London in the name of the ladie Marie, by the name of Ma|rie quéene of England, France, & Ireland, defender of the faith, & of the churches of England & Ireland supreme head. Of which proclamation, after the duke of Northumberland, being then at Burie, was ad|uertised by letters of discomfort from the councell, he incontinentlie, according to the new order recei|ued from them, returned with his power againe to Cambridge. Now so sudden change of minds foorth|with appeared in his armie, that they which before séemed most forward in that quarrell, began first to flie from him, & so euerie man shifting for himselfe, he that late before was furnished of such multitude of souldiers, was suddenlie forsaken of all sauing a few, whose perils were ioined with his.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 But now before I proceed anie further in the hi|storie of quéene Marie, who was now receiued and proclamed quéene, as then to succeed hir brother, I will speake somewhat of the learned men that wrote & published anie pamphlets or treatises in his daies,Learned [...] that wrote [...] the reigne of king Ed|ward. as in deed there were manie: but for that the more part of them died in quéene Maries time, or in the quéenes maiesties time that now is, or else are yet liuing, I doo omit those here, meaning to speake of them hereafter, if God shall permit, as occasion maie serue. For the residue that ended their liues in this kings daies, these I find: Dauid Clapham a lawyer and well séene in the Latine toong, wrote sundrie treatises; Robert Talbot a prebendarie of Norwich, verie skilfull in antiquities; Edward Hall a counsellor in the common law, but excellent|lie séene in histories, wrote a notable chronicle of the vnion of the two houses of Yorke & Lancaster.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 Furthermore Richard Tracie of Todington in Glocestershire, an esquier, and verie well learned, sonne to William Tracie; doctor Ioseph an excel|lent preacher; George Ioie a Bedfordshire man, that wrote diuerse treatises concerning diuinitie, and died either in the last yeare of king Edward, or in the beginning of quéene Maries reigne, as appea|reth by master Bale; Alexander Barkleie a Scot, a notable poet, and a good rhetorician, departed this life in the yeare one thousand fiue hundred fiftie and two; William Hugh a Yorkeshireman, wrote, be|sides other things, a notable treatise called the trou|bled mans medicine, he deceassed by the bursting of a veine, in the yeare one thousand fiue hundred fortie and nine; Thomas Sternehold borne in South|hampton, turned into English méeter seuen & thir|tie psalmes chosen foorth of Dauids psalter. Of stran|gers that liued and died here in this kings daies, ex|cellentlie learned, and renowmed for such treatises as they published to the world, Martine Bucer and Paulus Fagius are most famous. To end now with this part of the booke concerning king Ed|ward, I haue thought good to set downe Ierom Car|dans verses, written as an epitaph of him (and recor|ded by master Fox in his historie) as here followeth:

Flete nefas magnum, sed toto flebilis orbe

Mortales, vester corruit omnis honor.Carmen [...] in obitum regi [...] Ed [...]ardi

Nam regum decus, & iuuenum flos, spésque bonorum,

Deliciae secli, & gloria gentis erat.

Dignus Apollineis lachrymis, doctaeque Minerua:

Flosculus heu miserè concidit ante diem.

Te cumulo dabimus musa, supremáque flentes

Munera, Melpomene tristia fata canet.
