[1] The citizens liked not of this forme of procéeding in the dukes matter, bicause the king was yoong, and could not giue order therein, but by substitutes: yet at length with much adoo, they were contented to submit themselues, as the duke had doone before, though not, till that the knights had vndertaken vp|on their oth of fidelitie and knighthood, that their sub|mission should not redound to the temporall or bodi|lie harme of any of them, consenting to the kings will in this point. And so with this caution they tooke their iournie towards Sheene, where they found the new K. with his mother, the duke of Lancaster & his brethren, vncles to the king, and diuerse bishops, a|bout the bodie of the deceassed king. When it was knowen that the Londoners were come, they were called before the king, by whom the matter was so handled, that the duke and they were made fréends. After this, when the king should ride through the citie towards the coronation, the said duke and the lord Percie riding on great horses before him, as by ver|tue of their offices appointed to make way before, v|sed themselues so courteouslie, modestlie, and plea|santlie, [...]hat where before they two were greatlie sus|pected of the common people, by reason of their great puissance in the realme, and huge rout of reteiners, they ordered the matter so, that neither this day, nor the morrow after, [...]eing the day of the kings corona|tion, they offended any maner of person, but rather by gentle and swéet demeanour they reclaimed the harts of manie, of whome before they were great|lie had in suspicion, and thought euill of. ¶But now, sith we are entred into the matter of this kings co|ronation, we haue thought good breefelie to touch some particular point thereof (as in Thomas Wal|singham we find it) though nothing so largelie here, as the author himselfe setteth it foorth, bicause the pur|pose of this worke will not so permit.
