| 1562. | 766. George Kemp to Challoner. |
|---|
| Thanks him because, at taking leave of "their honors," he
had taken another way contrary to the expectation of the
writer and the gentlewomen who had made themselves ready
for the same. Thanks also for that Challoner, "at my Lady's
request," had accepted the tuition of the suit of the writer's
brother, whereof the writer has proffered Challoner's man,
Garcia, because he is best acquainted with the party, Garnica,
chief secretary of Erasso, who willed to have both the bills
brought to him, and he would make out a warrant to receive
the two years' wages. Has already declared to Garnica that
Challoner had the doing of it. Don Antonio De Toledo has
promised to help. Challoner will bind the writer's brother
perpetually.—"Hogadon, this present day, 1562." Signed. |

| Jan. | 771. Articles of the Religion. (fn. 1) |
|---|
| 1. That none of the followers of the new doctrine shall
make assemblies under pain of being burnt. |
|---|
| 2. Their preachers to leave the kingdom under the same
penalty. |
|---|
| 3. From henceforth all are to live according to the Roman
Church and its decrees. |
|---|
| 4. Those who refuse to do so are to quit the kingdom
within a certain time on pain of death. |
|---|
| 5. The Governors of provinces are to afford armed assistance to the magistrates for the capture of the disobedient. |

| 6. The Judges are to be diligent in executing justice upon
the disobedient. |

| 10. The Lord and President De [blank] has declared that
during his mission to Rome the Pope told him that he
had not invented the annates or other exactions which they
wanted to put on the Church, and that he would give them
up if the elections were conceded, and the King would give
up his right of presentation. Also, if he went to the Council
he would go as simple Bishop of Rome; and would be the
first to consent to the reformation of superfluities in the
Church, and would admonish the other dignitaries to do the
like. |
|---|
| 11. The Cardinal of Lorraine has confuted the heresies in

|---|
| 1. Asks him to consider his title to such lands as he is suitor
for by petition, and to move the Queen to sign his petition of
right, and grant a warrant to the Judges, committing his suit
to their report. |
|---|
| 2. The writer having two sons, Robert and Francis (to whom
he intends to intail his lands), asks leave to appoint Cecil as
their guardian, and as such will give him 100l. per annum of
the said lands, 20l. thereof yearly for keeping his son Robert,
twenty marks yearly for Francis, and 100 marks to Cecil for
his own use until 1,000l. be thus paid. (fn. 2) |

| [1562.] | 773. The Marshal of Berwick. |
|---|
| 1. Sir George Bowes, late Marshal of Berwick, was allowed
for himself and his twenty-four horsemen 330l. 8s. 0d.; for
leading 100 footman, 4s. per day; for leading fifty horsemen
4s. per day; for four dead pays 4s. per day, making 207l.
16s. 0d., total 538l. 4s. 0d. |
|---|
| 2. The present Marshal, Sir Thomas Dacre, has but 260l.
for the entertainment of himself and his twenty-four horsemen,
which is insufficient. |
|---|
| 3. He therefore having requested that he may have the
leading of 100 footmen serving at Berwick, as the last Marshal had, the Lords of the Council think it unmeet to grant
his request for the following reasons. |
|---|
| 4. That the Marshal (having charge of horsemen) cannot in
time of service attend to the footmen. |
|---|
| 5. Because in the time of the last Marshal there were
2,000 men at Berwick, and but 1,000 now. |
|---|
| 6. That by appointing 100 footmen to be lead by him, the
Queen will want a captain for the same. |
|---|
| 7. Three arguments "to maintain that it is not unmeet
[for] the Marshal to have charge of footmen." |
