MarginaliaThe styrring & rising of the French kyng against king Edward.To these pestiferous commotions raised vp against kyng Edward by hys own Subiectes in this yeare aforesayd within the realme, I might also adioyne the busie sturring and raging of the French king agaynst our young and innocent Prince, without the Realme. Who hearing of these tumultes and violent insurrections of the Kinges subiectes in diuers and sundrye quarters of the realme, supposing to take the tyme for hys most aduauntage, thought likewise for his part not to be vnoccupied. Who after he had by hys Ambassadour made open breach wyth the kyng, immediately after the reuocation of the sayd Ambassadour from hence, intending to anoy the Kyng, and make his first inuasion agaynst the Iles of Iersey and Gernesey, thought to haue surprised our ships and the sayd Iles with a certaine number of hys ships and Gallies. In the which hys assault, hee was so hotely saluted by the kynges shyps and the Island, that by the confession of them that saw it, and by the reporte written to the lord Protector, the French men at least lost a thousand mē, their shyps and Gallies so spoyled, as being forced to returne home, they were not able then to sette out againe.

MarginaliaEx literis D. Clintoni.The like also might be noted of the losses of þ^e sayd French kyng at Bullenbergh, the 8. day of August, the same yeare, as by þ^e L. Clyntons letters may well appeare: but for spending of tyme I passe it ouer. What the meanyng of þ^e French kyng was in these viages, or howe he intended farther to procede, I haue not herein to deale. MarginaliaThe wonderfull protection of the Lord, in defending king Edward.This is certeine and euident, that the mightie arme of God mercifully fought for kyng Edward hys seruaūt, to defend and deliuer him from so many hard daungers, so daungerous and sondry commotions styrred vp in so many quarters within this Realme, and also without the Realme, and all within the compasse of one yeare, and yet the Lord aboue fighting for his true seruaunt, dispatched them all, as in story here ye haue heard declared, and is no lesse worthy of all posteritie to bee noted.

ANd thus much hetherto hauyng discoursed touchyng the manifold troubles and tumultes raised vp on euery side agaynst kyng Edward by his vnkynd and vnnaturall subiectes, and yet notwithstandyng, the gracious goodnes of the Lord euer giuing him þ^e victorie: now let vs returne agayne to Boner Byshop of London, where wee lefte hym before, that is, in hys owne house, where hee was by the Counsaile commaunded to remaine, as is aboue signified,MarginaliaRead afore pag. 1496. col. 1. lin. 47.pag. 1496.
