Compare 1587 edition: 1 Lennox and Argyle are at variaunce.Afterwardes there fell no ſmall diſcorde be|twixt them of Lennox & Argile: for firſt through brau [...]ng amongſt the heardes men, theyr ma|ſters made a fray, whereof roſe ſuche deadly e|nimitie betwixt the parties, by reaſon that the inhabitantes of the Weſterne Iſles ayded them of Argyle,The weſterne Iſles take parte with Argyle. Galoway with Lennox. and the people of Galoway the other of Lennox: that if the king had not come into thoſe parties to apeaſe the buſineſſe, and to haue puniſhed the offendors, there had enſued muche manſlaughter, to the greate daunger of the vt|ter ruyne of thoſe countreys.

Compare 1587 edition: 1 The king at his arriuall amongſt them,Maldwyne wẽt about for to puniſhe the author of this commotion. minded not to purſue the people that followed theyr Captaines, but rather the Captaines and Authours of this tumulte themſelues. Where|of they hauing knowledge, made an attonement togither, being enforced thereto of neceſſitie,The Captaines became frends togither, and fled into the Iſles. ſo to auoyde the prepared puniſhment deuiſed by the king againſt them. And foorthwith they fled ouer into the Iſles, but the inhabitants doubting the kings diſpleaſure, would not conſent to ſuccour them,The Ilandmen apprehend the Captaines of the rebelles. but contrary wiſe tooke them and deliue|red them to the kings officers, wherevpon they were ſafely conueyed to the places where they were borne, and there ſuffered their deſerued exe|cution. Thus that commotion vnaduiſedly be|gonne, was ſpeedily appeaſed, and the name of Maldwyn by reaſon hereof ſo feared amongſt his ſubiectes, that during his reigne no ſuche trouble chaunced in any parte of all his domi|nions.

Compare 1587 edition: 1 After this he went ouer into Iona or Colme|kill,He buyldeth the churche of the abbay of Colmekill, where perceyuing the Abbey Church, wher|in his aunceſtors had theyr ſepultures to be in decay, he cauſed it to be pulled quite downe, and workemen foorth with ſet in hande to duylde it vp agayne, at his owne proper coſtes and char|ges. Suche ſpeede alſo was vſed aboute this worke, that before he departed out of this life, the ſame was finiſhed and dedicated vnto our Sa|uiour Chriſt, and Saint Colme.
