| Has sent divers letters, and never heard of their arrival. Sent them
to his friend Wm. Pratt of London, from whom he has had no letters. Asks
Cromwell to let Wm. Popley advertise him of their receipt. Sends the news
since his last letter of 21 May. The Emperor sent ten galleys to intercept
the Turkish ambassador on his return from the French king, who, hearing of
it, ordered the people of Marseilles to arm the best of his to conduct the
Turk's galley. They left in a storm, and escaped the Emperor's galleys,
which were in port. The Emperor is marvellously displeased. Hears that
there were 200 ships and galleys and 30,000 men at Barsalona. The
Emperor set sail on the last of May for Sardeyna. He left behind 6,000
soldiers, and took 6,000 adventurers to save cost. The soldiers he has ordered
to go to Italy at his cost. He left behind also 900 horsemen, whom he could
not ship. 50 galleys, 100 ships, and 15,000 "Almen" and Spaniards, tarry
in Sardinia, and if he needs any more men he will take them in Cecila.
The Emperor intends to pass to Tonys because the king of Tonys has
"juntyd" 60,000 of his Moors, and lies at the siege of the town, and tarries
upon the succour of the Emperor. If he takes Tonys, he will send part of
his army to "tack" Alger; thence he will pass to Greece, which he trusts to
take, as the Greeks will rise against the Turk. The Emperor has all manner
of weapons and artillery that the Greeks will need. The Suffy wars strongly
against the Turk, who will not be able to resist him and the Emperor. |
| Small vessels going from this country and Biscaya to Malaga are ordered
to return hither. |
| Sends this letter to Mr. Thos. Whitt of Bristow. |

and his father, to get him a license for 100 tun of wine and woad, to help

| The Admiral, who was 22 days at Calais, returned on the 17th, though
it was said everywhere that he would go on to England. Mons. de Ricciafort
(Rochford), the brother of the new Queen, came here for eight days, but, as
far as could be seen, did nothing. It is only from his relation to the Queen
that he is employed, for the King has very few to trust in. All business passes
through the hands of people who depend on the new Queen, and must
therefore be settled according to her purpose. This was the case in the
negociations with the Admiral, which were broken off on account of his
refusal to allow the duke of Angoulême to go to England until the girl was
old enough to be married, and because he would not declare in any way
against the Church, or in favour of the King's second wife (ne voler difendere
in alcun modo contro la chiesa o declaratione del concilio la causa della
seconda moglie). Every one knows that the alliance (parentado) has not
been concluded, as both sides confidently affirmed it would be, but that the
ambassadors separated very ill satisfied, and the English are guarding Calais
more carefully than they have done, even when the French were there in
greater numbers. However, both sides affirm the friendship to be firmer
than ever. The French king and Council say that their respect to the
Holy See and the Pope has been the principal cause of their not coming to
some other understanding (ad altro ristretto) with the king of England, who
is a most bitter enemy of the Church, and so firm in his opinion that he
intends to die in it, and tries to have this kingdom for company. The duke
of Norfolk, according to the Admiral, affirms that he would sooner die than
see any change as regards the King or the new Queen; which is not unlike
what the writer has heard in other ways of Norfolk, viz., that this breaking
off might reasonably have been expected, matters depending very much on
his dexterity, and the affairs of England being commonly managed more
than barbarously. For he, being one of the greatest men in the kingdom,
and having sons, and the duke of Richmond for his son-in-law, might hope
one day to have that daughter for one of his sons, or, if disorders ensued, to
get the rule into his own hands. The French lords are not too well contented with the English, who, since Norfolk's return, have despatched a
courier, and show themselves displeased that nothing was concluded at
Calais. The Admiral, though he takes Fisher's case much to heart, has
great fears for his life, especially as the Pope says in the brief that the created
him a cardinal to make use of him in the Council. He says also that the
English pretended that he could not live much more than a month, being a
valetudinarian of 90; which shows what they mean to do with him, reckoning
him 25 years older than he is, although they declare there is no hope in any
case of his coming out of prison. These are truly the most monstrous
things seen in our time. The French make great account with the Pope of
not listening to anything proposed to them by the English which might turn
to the damage of the Holy See. |

| The Admiral, who was at Calais with the duke of Norfolk, returned
six days ago without having concluded the marriage of the duke of
Angoulême with the last daughter of the King, which was spoken of as
certain on both sides, or anything else that one can hear of; but the capitulation and the old friendship remain. The cause was the exorbitant demand
of the English that the French king should bind himself to maintain Henry's
marriage against the Pope and any determination of the Council; and
finally they wished him to act in Church matters as had been done in
England. They are very anxious about Fisher. The English who were
at Calais say that he will not come out of prison; that he is 90 years
of age, and very ill, giving him 25 years more than he has; and that he
cannot live more than a month; so that it is easily seen that in this their
actions correspond with the others. The cardinal of Paris set out four
days ago for Rome. * * * |

therefore desires them to remember his pardon. Wishes for an order
forbidding soldiers to plunder on pain of death. |

chaplain made a sermon, and did in all things as this bearer, my cousin, can
inform you. Sunday next he shall be at Coventry, where my chancellor
will meet him for the same purpose. I perceive by Mr. Bedyll's letter that
you are desirous of the "avocation" of Halifax, and say that I promised it.
I am sure I never did; but as my lord of Norfolk was desirous of it, and
I remembered his old goodness to me and my kinsfolk in times past, I wrote
to him that I was contented for him to have it. I will endeavour to please
you in something else. Gloucester, 24 June. Signed. |

| I thank you for the pains you have taken between my son Frognall

Frognall did never agree that his son and mine, Thos. Frognall, should have
more than 20 marks a year out of the manor of Frognall; but as the said
Alexander lived wantonly, and I was afraid lest he should encumber the
manor, it was devised that the manor should be assured by covenant to the
said Thomas and his wife, and that when they came of age they should make
a lease of it to his father during his life, reserving only to themselves
20 marks. But as the said Alexander was negligent to call for [it] when his
son was of full age, who entered into covenant with Wyott before it was his
own, and the said Alexander received the whole profits, I have desired
Mr. Wigston to inform you further of my mind in the premises. Baddesley,

the bearer. Next week money will come in from the clerical subsidy.
There is great exclamation for payment of the last garrison. Many of the

them. It were a good deed to help the poor men to their money. |

deny it, for I gave it to Walter Rowdon for a kinsman of his, who died
before the vacancy, and then this Browne came to Mr. Arnold, Rowdon's
executor, and demanded presentation, which Arnold gave him on condition of
his obtaining my consent. He then sued to the official for institution, unknown
to the chancellor and unlawfully. I have presented a chaplain, a kinsman of
my wife, who has been lawfully instituted. I marvel not a little you should
ask me to do what is contrary to law, right, and conscience. I have done
nothing but what was proper. This Mr. Browne has not only been with my
lord of Wiltshire and with you, but with all my other friends. I beg, therefore, you will give your favor to my wife's kinsman in this matter. I and my
poor house have been punished by the hand of God. Three of my tallest
men have died, and most of my other servants have been sick. I am constrained to repose in a poor lodge in the forest of Wulmer, and my wife in

whom dependeth all my life and living, it is the greatest heaviness that ever
fortuned unto me. And surely I had rather be under the ground than that
either the King or you should worthily conceive any such opinion of me.
Wherefore, Sir, I most heartily desire and pray you to interpret my writings
and sayings as proceeding from him that meaneth as faithfully and as
sincerely to deal with the King's highness as becometh his true liege man,
and in all such things as his Highness shall commit unto my charge, to
execute the same with as much truth and diligence as my poor wit can
extend unto." Begs him not to impute it to want of truth or good heart
towards the King if he do not express himself so well as he could wish, but
rather to the foolishness of his secretary and want of knowledge on his own
part. Has taken such order as to the casting down of the marshes, (fn. 1) that he
trusts no negligence will be imputed to him. Begs him to move the King
for a warrant to his vice-treasurer for the payment of 10l. or 20 marks,
which he has no doubt will meet the expenses thereof. |

Wright's Suppression of the Monasteries, 34. | 932. The Charterhouse Monks. |

| Statement of John Darlay, monk of the Charterhouse. |
| Had licence to say service with father Raby of our religion, a very old
man, and when he lay on his death-bed after he had received the sacraments,
and the convent had departed, said to him, "Good father Raby, if the dead
ma[y] come to the quick, I beseech you to come to me." He said "Yea," and
died the same night, "which was in the clansyng days last past, anno 1534."
Never thought of him since till St. John Baptist's Day last, when he appeared
at 5 p.m. in the entry in our sell, "and said to me, 'Why do ye not follow our
father? (fn. 3) And I said, 'Wherefore?' He said, 'For he is a martyr in heaven
next unto angels.' And I said, 'Where be all our other fathers which died
as well as he?' He answer and said, 'They be well, but not so well as he.'
And then I said to him, 'Father, how do ye?' And he answered and said,
'Well enough.' And I said, 'Father, shall I pray for you ?' And he said,
'I am well enough, but prayer both for you and other doeth good;' and so
suddenly vanished away." |
| On Saturday next after, at 5 a.m., he again appeared in the same place
with a long white beard, and a white staff in his hand, lifting it up; whereupon I was afraid. "And then, leaning upon his staff, said to me, 'I am
sorry that I lived not to I had been a martyr.' And I said, 'I think ye be as
well as ye were a martyr.' And he said, 'Nay, for my lord of Rochester and
our father was next unto angels in heaven.' And then I said, 'Father, what
else?' And then he answered and said, 'The angels of peace did lament
and murne without measure;' and so vanished away." |

| The lord Chief Baron has been your very good friend in your cause.
My lord of Norfolk sent me to him with your letter. No precedent can be found
in the Exchequer, and therefore this matter cannot be determined there; it
must be brought before Norfolk and the Council. He has, however, devised
a supplication in the matter, and has bound Anthony Cave in 100l. not to
leave till the Duke's pleasure be known. Cave denies that any of the wools
are in his hands, and says he paid Crispe before he last came to Calais.
Gives further details. Norfolk is now at Court, and will be here on
Wednesday. You will need Skryven's help, for if it be no more than three
pockets, as Cave asserts, it is not worth past 30l. Sends the Chief Baron's
letter for Golson's karseys. Norfolk and Mr. Treasurer say redress shall be
briefly made of the victual and fuel of which you and the Council complain.
I think the Commissioners who were last at Calais will meet there again
before the end of September. Mr. Treasurer commands me to fetch the
geldings he gave you at Guildford. Mr. More will be arraigned the latter
end of this week. Sends a letter from Owdall. The Secretary is not a
little displeased at the news from Calais. What salutation he gave me on
delivering your letter I will defer till I come over. "When Mr. Marshal
cometh he shall have his part; for surely he loveth him not." Cromwell
begs Lisle not to write news he is not certain of; but his anger lasts only
a little while, and therefore Lisle must write and desire his favor. London,

thanks you for the 20s. I gave him; but Bery delivered him only the double

here. He learns more than any in that house; for his time, there is none

| As the temporalities of the bishopric of Hereford are now in the

King's hands, and is necessary for my yearly provision of horses. I beg
you, therefore, to write to Mr. Skydmore to grant me a lease of it, as he is
appointed by you to make leases of the lands of the bishopric. It will be
well that when the King appoints any of his chaplains to the bishopric, we
may have liberty to lie in the Bishop's palace at Hereford at such times as
we think convenient, as no other place is so suitable. The castle of Ludlow
is in such decay that we cannot lie there until it is repaired. I request that
you will obtain a warrant for the same, and for the pardons remaining in
your hands, as they will contribute to the reparation of the said castle.
Wales is very well amended, and, in comparison, there is very little thieving
of cattle, chiefly because no one will buy them if they are suspected of
being stolen. We are harder upon the thieves than before, and compelled by
policy to take the outlaws; so they now come in fast by themselves, desiring
pardon, and we are obliged to take means to prevent them. Gloucester,

| As soon as Cromwell had returned from Court, where he had
been since the arrival of Norfolk and the other Calais deputies, he came
to me to inform me, on the part of his master, that the promise made to
me that he would conclude nothing at Calais, had been strictly observed;
of which Cromwell, for his part, said he was very glad, both because he
had shown himself a man of good faith, and because the King remained
at his full liberty; and the King wished me to despatch a man express to
your Majesty to inform you of the fruitlessness (irresolution) of the said
assembly. To this I replied that I was willing to comply by despatching
one of my servants, provided there was matter which required it, but that
it would be a foolish waste of money, as I had already informed your
Majesty eight days ago, and I believed you had also received notice of it
from France, and, even if you had no recent news of it, I had written
long ago assuring you thereof, by Cromwell's words and promises; and
since the King, his master, was at liberty, as he said, it would be the
right time for him either to accept the overtures made by his (qu. your?)
Majesty, or make others. He replied that he had no charge whatever to
make any overtures to me, and that I was not one to whom he would say
one thing in place of another, nor say anything that he could not maintain;
and as to what had been proposed on the part of your Majesty, that the
King his master should submit to the determination of the Council, the
said King would never agree to it, and also that it was unreasonable for the
considerations he had already shown. Moreover, the great hatred that all
this "prestraille," as he called it, bore him because he had withstood the
tyranny of the Church, and reformed the churchmen of his country, would
prevent his obtaining justice, seeing that the greater part of the Council
must be composed of the said "prestraille"; and it must not be supposed
that the King his master, or any portion of his subjects, would be present
at a Council convoked by the Pope, even if one were convoked by the
authority of your Majesty. Hereupon, he began to talk of the said reformation which the King had begun with his clergy, and said that before
Christmas I should see constitutions made for it here, composed by the King,
which would be very different from the papistical ones; and he had no
doubt it would be a true and singular mirror to all Christendom, and that
your Majesty would not forbear to make the same reformation in your
countries, unless it was for fear of invalidating the sentence given in the
Queen's favor. I replied that in this he was very much mistaken, because,
although his Majesty denied the Pope to be universal Head of the Church,
nevertheless that would in no wise prejudice the said sentence, seeing that
the King had implored justice from his Holiness, even if the latter had been
the least important and most out-of-the-way bishop of the world (le moindre
et plus estrange evesque du monde); and I alleged reasons of law thereupon,
to which he did not know what to reply. |
| Going from one subject to another, Cromwell repeated that if God had taken
to himself the Queen and Princess, the whole dispute would have been ended,
and no one would have doubted or opposed the King's second marriage, nor
would anyone have disputed the succession, unless it were the king of Scots, of
whom he made no great account, and no other prince could make any claim. As
to the first, I replied that by the canon law, according to which all good Christians ought to govern themselves in matters of conscience, the second marriage
would be found invalid and unlawful even if the Queen died first; and I
cited the canons and chapters; at which he was greatly abashed. As to the
second, he ought not to make so little account of the king of Scots in case
of so just a claim, in the pursuit of which God, who was the true executor
of justice, might furnish him with aid and friends. Cromwell said that at
least one could not say that there was any other prince who could put
forward any title against them. I replied that it was a thing of the possibility of which I had not thought much; but, since he pressed me, I thought
there were several others who might put forward claims now or hereafter.
He replied that perhaps I meant, by the common title of princes, which was
the sword, or by the Imperial title "quavoit pretense sur toute la monarchie."
To this I replied that, as to the Imperial title, England might be well
assured it would not be troubled, as your Majesty was not so ambitious; but
if the Pope were to fulminate censures, and invoke the aid of the secular
arm, which would deprive the King of his title and deliver his kingdom to
those who took possession (et ouctroyat les biens aux occupans), it would be
the most just and catholic title that any Christian prince could have. I did
not speak of the title of the king of Denmark, or of any other, as it was far
better to avoid dangers than to enter into such odious matters; yet it was
very opportune that he touched upon this point, that they might have the
better care for the preservation of the good ladies, when I confuted their
dangerous opinion that on being rid of them they would be at peace. And
it appeared to me that Cromwell was much confused at what I said, and,
after thinking for some time, knew not what to say, except that the King
his master had so many treaties with his (your) Majesty and with the French
that he could not imagine that either would have the heart to violate them. |
| Cromwell related to me how their ambassador in France had written to the
King that as soon as the Admiral was returned to the Court of France he
had given all the ambassadors to understand that in the assembly at Calais
they had negociated very great and important affairs to the great satisfaction
of both parties. And in reply the King had informed his ambassador of the
real truth, charging him to communicate it to the ambassador of your
Majesty and beg him to do his best to give effect to the practice commenced.
The King made the same request, praising me to my face, and Cromwell
saying that he would die the most cruel death to see friendship between your
Majesty and the King firmly established; which done, he believed that you
might have the aid of his master against the Turk to the extent of half a
million of gold, or even a million; and that this question of marriage can
never be settled except by a meeting between his (your) Majesty and his
master. On this he began to speak of the ingratitude of the French, and
said he knew well that they were soliciting his (your) Majesty to treat
with them, and that Morette had lately told him that if this King would not
agree to the French demands they would be compelled to ally themselves
again with his (your) Majesty. On speaking to Cromwell of some arrears
due to the Queen of the revenues of her lands, he replied with very good
will that not only that should be paid to her, but that if she wanted more
she only required to write or get me to write, and that she should have all
she wanted without delay; and if she wished to have a treasurer near her to
supply her always, she would be provided with one. And he desired me to
think of this, and begged on the King's behalf that I would go to hunt where
I thought good, and that he would give orders that I should be well received,
and that I ought not to refuse that, both to gratify the King and to please
myself. At last he could not refrain from saying that it was right I should
do so, that people might see the favor which the King showed to me. He
need not have told me, for I understood quite well that he was only trying to
make people believe that your Majesty approved of all they had done, and
they were not ashamed at Calais to try and persuade the French that if only
his (your) Majesty had provided that the Pope should not trouble the affairs
of Italy, that you intended to reform the Church in your countries as they
had done. This I know on good authority, and when I spoke of it to
Cromwell he said not a word. |
| At the beginning of our conversation, before entering on any of these
subjects, Cromwell made two complaints to me on the part of the King his
master: First, that his (your) Majesty allowed a German doctor, named
Cochlæus, to publish the most defamatory books against the King, and
that worse could not be said against a Jew or a devil; second, that the
King's ambassador to the Waywode had been detained prisoner by the
king of the Romans. As to the first, I replied that your Majesty would
be very sorry for it, and would take what measures you well could; but the
King must consider that the affairs of Germany being in such liberty and
disorder, it was very hard to control all tongues, which are now so unbridled
that they have no respect either to God or to their own princes; and since the
said Cochlæus was in the country of duke George of Saxony, this King, who
has long regarded him as his friend, would do well to write to him about
it. As to the second, I said I did not know well what to reply, not having
received information of it from the king of the Romans; and perhaps the
said ambassador had been detained without his knowledge; but that, even if
it had been done by his commandment, this King would have greater cause
to complain of the rashness of his ambassador than of the said King's
conduct, seeing that, as I was informed by certain merchants, the king of
the Romans had refused the said ambassador passage through his lands, and
not without good reason, considering that matters between him and the
Waywode were in the way of arrangement, which the said ambassador might
have interrupted; at least it was open to suspicion, considering the intelligence the English had hitherto had in Germany. Moreover, they were well
aware that the king of France, without just occasion, indeed I might say
without any, had kept the bishop and cardinal of Burgos (Burgez), your
Majesty's ambassador coming from England; and, if I might be permitted to
say so, the despatch of the said ambassador at that time was fully justified by
various considerations; and, further, that the Waywode had no ambassador
here, and neither the king of France nor any other prince had any ambassador with the Waywode. He replied that he never thought the said
ambassador a wise man, and still less now, if he had been so foolish as to
enter the lands of the King without his leave, and that certainly the King
his master had only sent him to manage some little business at the
intercession of Gregory de Casale, his brother, and that he ventured to
affirm that during the six or seven years the said ambassador had been at
Venice on behalf of the King they had not written him two letters, so
that the king of the Romans will be much mistaken if he expects to get any
news out of him, and as little will he get out of the Secretary of the
Way wode who had been here, who is said to have been taken in company with
him, for he is a fool, and for such the King had christened him from the first
time he spoke with him. I expected he would have accompanied these two
complaints with that of the intelligence of your Majesty in Ireland, but he
made no sign. As to the news from that country, nothing has been said
for a long time; but now it is said that the King has sent men and
munitions. He continues to forge artillery, and has sent since the return of
the deputies from Calais a good quantity to the island of Guernsey, being
apprehensive of the French. The Princess also has been informed, on good
authority, that it was feared there would soon be war with the French. |
| On the 17th, the good bishop of Rochester was sentenced to death for
refusing to swear to the statutes made to the prejudice of the Pope and of
the Queen; and on the 22nd his head was cut off in the place where the
duke of Buckingham suffered. The regret and compassion of the people
is inconceivable. He was very earnestly solicited after he mounted the
scaffold to comply with the King's wish on an offer of pardon; but he refused,
and he died very virtuously. There was given him as confessor one of
his great enemies, the greatest Lutheran in the world and patron of all the
diableries here, yet he does not cease to say that one of the most holy men
in the world has been put to death. Cromwell told me that the Pope was
the cause of his death, who had done very ill and very foolishly in making
him a cardinal, seeing he was the worst enemy the King his master had, and
that his Holiness had excused himself even more foolishly to Gregory de
Casale, saying that he had done it because the Pope intended to convoke the
Council, in which cardinals were to be present from all countries. |
| The bishop of Terbez, nephew of the cardinal Grammont, came here three
days ago to reside in place of Morette. He was at Calais at the time of the
meeting, intending to cross at that time, but as matters did not proceed as
some expected, he returned into France with the Admiral to take new deliberation; and I am informed that, by report of one of his servants, he is
charged to speak very strongly in behalf of the Princess, and use threats, in
case of refusal, that Francis will at all events allow the Pope to proceed,
whom till now he had restrained from launching the censures against the
English, and he showed himself ready to obey the commands of the Holy
See. The said bishop and Morette sent yesterday morning to Cromwell to
ask him to dinner, but he excused himself, and sent to tell them he knew
well what they were to speak with him about, and that they might say it to
the King if they pleased. Which answer they did not take well. |
| The King's master gunner returned three days ago from Lubeck and
Denmark, and it is said he has brought with him 100 fellows, gunners and
captains, and old soldiers, but only two have come to this town with him,
of whom one is a brother of the captain of Lubeck. London, 30 June 1535. |

| Sends a gallant and notable interpretation of a chapter of the
Apocalypse which was played on the eve of St. John. To see it, the King
went thirty miles from here, walked 10 miles at 2 o'clock at night with a
two-handed sword, and got into a house where he could see everything. He
was so pleased at seeing himelf cutting off the heads of the clergy, that in
order to laugh at his ease, and encourage the people, he discovered himself.
He sent to tell his lady that she ought to see the representation of it repeated
on the eve of St. Peter. Sends bills in accordance with this interpretation
of prophecy, which will show what hope there is of putting affairs right
again. If there be no remedy all will go to ruin. It is wonderful that the
people are not Lutheran before this, considering what the King causes to be
said. Hears from Rome that the Pope was determined to grant the executorials, and the death of the good bishop of Rochester will not alter his
decision. Some think that if commerce (contractacion) was forbidden by
virtue of the executorials, the people would rise and put things right
themselves, especially during this distrust of Frauce. Already they begin to
murmur, because ever since these executions began it has rained continually,
and they say it is the vengeance of God. Refers him to his letters to the
Emperor. London, 30 June 1535. |

has obtained the King's letters to the mayor of London, to be sword-bearer
at the next vacancy. He has taken great pains "with me, Mr. Aliote

| Had sent to him by Davy Syzhane two falcons, three merlins, and
a sparrowhawk, and two greyhounds. Hopes to send a goshawk before
long. The Council and Commons of Kinsale sent last year by Davy Sizhane
the copy of our patent to be renewed and to have the King's gift of the
"coked" to maintain their walls. Kynsall, 30 June. |

R. O. | 952. Edward Archbishop of York to Cromwell. |
|---|
| "We have now sent up our certificate by this bearer." (fn. 5) Prays
Cromwell to excuse any defaults in it, for lack of skill. Cromwell will
judge how little the Archbishop has spared himself when he sees the clear
sum, more than ever came into the Archbishop's coffers, or appeared in any
reckoning Cromwell may have seen. If any consideration is made afterwards
for lands lying upon the waters, or for mills, &c., which require continual
repair, he trusts to be as favourably used as others; his predecessors have
lost over 100 marks yearly by inundation on one place, called Patrington,
in Holderness. There are curates forced to have many priests besides
themselves, whose benefices are scant worth 5l. or 6l. It would be better if
provision were made for curates to take after the rate of their priests, and to
answer for their priests. Otherwise a curate for 5l. will pay after 10l. if he
have two priests, after 15l. if he have three priests, and so on. His chaplain,
Dr. Braynesbie, is to move Cromwell to get him relieved from the collection
of the archdeaconry of Richmond. The Archdeacon is quasi episcopus, and
sufficient to answer for the collection. It is a wild country, and the Archdeacon will doubtless find better means of collecting there than the Archbishop can. Hears it is a hard country to ride in, and many parts cannot be
ridden in in winter or before April. Bisshopsthorpe, 30 June 1535. Signed. |

R. O. | 953. Henry Bishop of St. Asaph to Cromwell. |
|---|
| Has this day received the King's letters, and will make haste to
execute them. Hears the factor of the Lord of St. John's has complained
to Cromwell that the Bishop would wrong him in the patronage of the
vicarage of Kemmys, worth four marks a year. Has received from the
factor an inhibition to appear before my Lord of Canterbury's audience
within 15 days. Has business of the King's of greater importance, and
thinks the matter de vero patronatu might be deputed to 12 men of the
country: it is plainly set down in the Bishop's register. Wrexham, 30 June.

King will not visit Bristol at this time in consequence of the sickness, which
news is doleful to us. Bristol, 30 June. Signed. |

B. M. | 955. Ric. Layton to Cromwell. |
|---|
| The diocese of York has not been visited since the Cardinal's time,
and there are many things within the province needing reformation, especially
amongst the exempts. The Archbishop leaves everything to be done at
the King's intended visitation. If you would send me thither with your
servant Blitheman as registrar, we might finish the whole province by
Michaelmas, or soon after. Dr. Lee could also finish the counties of
Huntingdon and Lincolnshire and the diocese of Chester by the same time.
If you defer the visitation till you have leisure, I am in great doubt when
the day will come, for your business daily increases. If you wait till Lammas,
till the archbishop of Canterbury has finished his visitation, the year will be
far spent. The Archbishop and his officers would be very glad if you did
not visit. The dean of Arches tried to persuade me to move you not to do
so this two or three years, so that I thought "Quod erat orator sed parum
vehemens et sine aculeo." |
| I should advise you to set forth the King's authority as Supreme Head by
all possible means. There can be no better way to beat the King's authority
into the heads of the rude people in the North than to show them that the
King intends reformation and correction of religion. They are more superstitious than virtuous, long accustomed to frantic fantasies and ceremonies,
which they regard more than either God or their prince, right far alienate
from true religion. |
| The book of Articles is clean written, in the custody of Bartlett, your
clerk, and a commission is ready for the same. You will never know what
I can do until you try me. |
| The charges you give me shall in no way be transgressed, and I will go to
the King for instructions if you wish. From Pater Noster Row. |

| R. O. | 956. William Edwardes to Cromwell. |
|---|
| At my leaving you in Lent twelvemonth you commanded me, in any
business of my own or my friends, to write to you. I beg you, therefore, to
show your favor to the bearer, late servant to the bishop of Hereford. I also
pray you, at the coming of my lord Ferrers, to desire his favor for me,
because through his proceedings the benefice of By kenor is not so good as it
used to be by 20 marks. The whole profit of it is 12l. 16s. 10½d., and I have
returned it as such to the King's Commissioners sitting at Gloucester for
payment of the tenth granted by Parliament. I beg you will see me discharged of the bond of 6l. for which the King's attorney summoned me, and
which I owed to my lord Cardinal. |

R. O. | 958. John Bowes to Cromwell. |
|---|
| For informing Cromwell of things done in Ireland, Mr. Eylmer and
Mr. Allen have threatened him with the Fleet or the Tower, or else to be
sent with gyves to Dublin Castle if he goes to Ireland. They say they will
have a copy of the bill he delivered to Cromwell, and try it in Ireland. It is
not reasonable that Mr. Eylmer and Mr. Allen and other justices of Ireland
should sit in trial in a matter in which they are themselves guilty. They
will all certify they are not faulty. Begs Cromwell to examine the matter
here before they leave, for if they go over they will stop the mouths of those
who could show the truth. Now there are here, ready to be examined,
Mr. Leonard Schevyngton, Mr. Fynglasse, Mr. Denman, Robt. Powell,
More, Mr. Cowley, Savage, and Lawrence, Mr. Brabshon's servant, and
others. Thinks they will corroborate him. If Eylmer is examined Cromwell will find that he has men allowed in the King's wages, and not the
King's friends. Mr. Denman may be examined upon that also. Begs
Cromwell either to try these matters before their going over, or keep them
and the writer in prison, and send a commission for the examination there. |

| R. O. | 959. Dan Robert Marshall, Monk of Shene, to Cromwell. |
|---|
| Of late I was at home at our house of Shene, and made inquiry among
them whether the King's commission sent to them by the bishop of Winchester for the King's supremacy was declared among them in their chapterhouse, and to strangers and others in church, every Sunday and holiday, and
it was not so declared, whereby not only my brethren who are the King's
friends, but our servants, are greatly offended with our vicar and proctor;
and though our vicar be so stiffnecked against the Prince that he will not
declare it to his brethren, it was our proctor's duty to have declared it to our
servants and others; for to them he is bound by rule to preach and teach.
The vicar has received a commission, and will not declare it, nor suffer it to
be declared; and as a true subject I must declare the matter to you. Austen

| His father-in-law, lord Bergevenny, died this Sunday morning about
2 o'clock. In his time he trusted Cromwell above all men, and said, at his
end, that he was sure the writer and his two uncles should have his lawful
favor in the execution of the will. He sent Cromwell a token of gold,
desiring him to be good to his son, who is the King's ward. Eurydge,

| R. O. | 961. Jane Basset to Lady Lisle. |
|---|
| My cousin Degory Greyndfylde, when at Barnstaple, desired Sir John
Bond to tell me that if I had anything to send you he would bring it; but
Bond neglected the message. Your feather beds and testers of silk were not
put out these three-quarters of a year till the 6th June last, "and that was
by the sight of a letter that was come unto him" (? Bond). Complains that
she gets no answer. It was lady Lisle's pleasure she should have a chamber
here; "but now I am taken up with Sir John Bond and also with Brenyllcom
that I cannot tell what to do; for they had liever that any brothell in this
part were here than I; and so the said woman that I wrote unto you is here
daily." So she said to me herself, "and defied also." As for your fishing,
when he goes to market and receives 20s. a day for the fish he puts into the
book 4s.; and he does not go to market more than three times a week, one
week with another. Send word that all this shall be amended, and that this
woman may not come here. Hears that Sir John Bond will be with lady
Lisle shortly, to excuse himself and Bremyle, and give her a pig of her own
sow. |
