this term, which is very great. The cause is that one of my pupils died of
plague in my house, with whom Christopher was conversant; and as I could
not tell who was infected, I put him in a place by himself. No one would
take him under 2s. 4d. or 2s. 8d. a week. He should not have required
other necessaries if he had tarried in this town. Cambridge, 16 Sept.

After I left, Bartelot, the printer, told me that Goodrycke requested
him to advertise the King of certain errors in "The Glasse off Treuthe;"
which Bartelot refused, saying he had moved the King in such matters
beforetime, and his Grace was not content with it. Though this was told
Croke secretly, thinks it his duty to make it known to Cromwell, and that
he should get out by policy from Goodricke what errors he notes. Thinks
that Bartelot will speak of it to others. Oxford, 17 Sept.
Begs he will remember his lodgings, which have one chamber only. The
tower has the roof ready, and timber for another story. 40l. will furnish the
whole building according to the first plot, to the great ornament of the house
and the King's honor.

Are in great anxiety, as they have had no letter from the King for four

not possible to remove it out of their heads. The Old man is, by reason of
age and sickness, in danger of his life; and they are afraid of losing both.
For this purpose it is thought good "that Sir Gregory should come thither."

Writes to the Emperor about the Queen's affairs.
Has advised the Ambassador to provide that the sentence given by the
Consistory should be put in writing and declared, because he was deceived
if he thought it had been put in writing, though he has often said that it was.
The Pope told me it had been delayed for good reasons, and that cardinal
Cesis would put it in writing instead of Card. Cesarino, who was absent.
Cesis has promised me a copy tomorrow.
I have now received it, and send it. You will see that the term is
extended for the whole of October, and I think it will last until the victory
which God will give to the Emperor.

1324. Dr. Ortiz to Charles V.
Wrote by the last post that the Pope deferred giving the brief till
after the vacation, from a fear of hindering the King from sending a mandate.
I think he will defer it longer, as his secretary says his Holiness wishes to
see what the Kings of France and England will conclude at this interview.
Sir [Gregory] Casal has left for England, to express the Pope's desire that
the King should send a mandate, leave his concubine, and restore the Queen;
for unless he do this, his Holiness can wait no longer, but is forced to do
justice. I think he will not only wait for Casale's reply, but for the victory
which God will give your Majesty. I beg you to urge the Pope to grant
this brief, even though the King sends a mandate, unless he leaves his
concubine and restores the Queen. If a mandate comes, the case will not be
finished so soon. The brief would have as much effect as a sentence, for
England would rise against the King for his contumacy and schismatic
disobedience.
The Pope says he has heard from his Nuncio that the King has received
the brief, bidding him send a mandate, but has not yet replied. The sentence
of the Consistory has now been put in writing. Rome, 18 Sept. 1532.

His two last letters to the Emperor contained an account of his
petition for the brief. As the Ambassador had not spoken to the Pope
about it for thirty days, I was obliged to beg the Viceroy to demand it in
the Emperor's name.
A request came to me from England to ask the Pope for a brief, licensing
Thos. Abel to preach, as he has been imprisoned and forbidden to preach
because he spoke in favor of the Queen and the Holy See, in answer to
others who had maintained the contrary. Obtained the Ambassador's leave to
speak to the Pope, who ordered his secretary to draw up a brief. Afterwards
I was told by the secretary that both the Pope and Mai thought it not
advisable to send it. Said this was impossible, as the Ambassador had consented
to my asking for it. Asked Mai again to speak to the Pope on the
subject, as otherwise the cause would be greatly prejudiced. This, he said,
he would do. But the Pope told me afterwards that Mai thought it had better
not be sent. Was silent, as this sort of conduct could not be resisted; but I
am in trouble, as I wrote to England that the brief should be sent.
Appended to the original of the above is a copy of the sentence of the Consistory
that the King's mandate shall be waited for until the end of Oct.,
after which the cause will be proceeded with as justice demands.

except that Mons. di Lanzi "mandara questo estebbi in Ingilterra non scrivi

enjoy all its liberties until the King has determined ours. We send a copy
of the grant of 29 Edw. III., with another, of our griefs, which we delivered
to the King when last at Windsor. The university showed, both to their
steward and ours, and also to the judges, that we might come to some
agreement about them, to be determined by 12 on each side. Some we
arranged, and some we referred to arbitrators. As the university sees that
by the laws they cannot use their old fashion, they have put it in the King's

1337. The Imperial Ambassador in France to Charles V.
Wrote last of the arrival of the French king and queen at this town on
the 13th, and the departure of the Grand Master for Calais. On Sunday,
the 15th, the King swore to the capitulations and treaty of friendship with
England, in presence of the English ambassador, and no others. The conditions
were not published. On the 21st he told me that the king of England
had importuned him for an interview for more than a year, but he had put
it off till now, as he had hoped to see the Emperor last year. They were
going to meet on Oct. 20, at Boulogne and Calais, and neither would take
more than 600 horse. The first day the French king would meet the king
of England on the borders of the county of Boulogne, dine there, and then
conduct him to the town, where they would remain together for three days,
and he would afterwards visit Henry at Calais. The object of their meeting
was the defence of Christendom against the Turk. Nothing had been done, nor
would be done, to prejudice the treaties between France and the Emperor.
He was sure the king of England would give help against the Turk, but not
in person. He would tell me what they agreed to do at the interview, that
I might inform the Emperor; and would also send to him. He wishes the
Emperor success against the Turk, and has ordered the jubilee to be proclaimed
in France.

till the King's title might be tried, "so his high pleasure is that ye shall do
if ye see good matter to bear it;" but as he understands that both you and
lord Lisle sue for the advancement of the same person to be abbot there, he
has directed his letters for that purpose. But if you see cause to stay the
election for the trial of his title, "his Grace is therewith right well contented,
so that his Highness may me (sic) remembered somewhat, like as your Lordship
wrote unto me in your last, which he only remitteth to your wisdom and
discretion." He "would as fain that ye were well neighboured as ye would
yourself." Will always be ready to do his Lordship service in this and

The Doge has had letters from Rome of the 20th, saying that the kings
of England and France will hold an interview. The French say it is for
the benefit of Christendom, but most persons think they will treat of the
divorce and a new marriage. Some believe the Dauphin will marry the
princess of Wales, and the King the daughter of the king of France. Said
I thought this impossible, as the king of England could not marry till he is
divorced, and then the Princess would be incapable of succession. It was
not to be believed that the French king would give his daughter to the King
without a divorce. I thought the interview would consist of jousts and
banquets. The Doge replied that it could not be of much importance, considering
the state of Christendom, as all depends upon your Majesty's success
against the Turk. * * * Venice, 25 Sept. 1532.

1353. Mai to Charles V.
Extract of a letter dated Rome, 27 Sept. 1532.
Wrote previously that the king of England wished to marry the Pope's
niece. Hears now that his marriage with the daughter of the king of France
will be spoken of at this interview. The Pope is informed of everything,
and that these proposals are intended to injure the Queen in the divorce
case. The Pope has again promised to do justice, and the cardinal of
Ancona is very resolute. Has just appointed Juan Colardi procurator.
Hopes to attain the end, unless they try some more tricks, to which the
Pope says he will not consent.
Asked the Pope to press the league, as the French say they will not arm
till next year. We have written about it to the bishop of Veruli, although
the French are enlisting Swiss, to serve, as they say, in Brittany.

I thank you for your last. I hear the King intends to be at Sherland,
Mr. Cheyny's place, on Saturday next; but I hear not whether he proposes
to be at Canterbury, nor the time of his coming. If he comes to Sherland
I will wait upon him there, or at any other place. John Antony desires me
to send your horses to Gravesend. Let me know when, and how many, and
I will send them. You write to me of my new house at St. Stephen's, which
you have heard say I shall have. I pray you help me thereunto. My wife is
now near her lying in, so that I cannot remove her from Canterbury to any
other place. I pray you, therefore, be content with the worst lodging that
ever ye had in any poor friend's house. Canterbury, Michaelmas Day.
Let me know how our Parliament shall succeed, whether to be kept at the
day fixed, or to be prorogued.

Though I am an old man, the young do teach me to school, for I am

tyrants. I have been always glad to oblige the King's servants, and lodge
his horses at my poor house. They have reported to the Master of the
Horse that my stables are good, whereas there are no worse in Oxfordshire,
and the rent of assize of the house exceeds not 140l. If I should be accompanied
with Italians, I shall not be long in the world. My cousin, Mr.
Thomas Palmer, sent me word that the Master of the Horse promised him
that neither horse nor man should be lodged with me. I pray you defend
me from them. Ruley, Michaelmas Day.

1364. Dr. Ortiz to the Empress.
Wrote last that the Pope had postponed sending the brief till after
the vacation; and I am sure that he will put it off still longer, as his secretary
says that he knows the Pope waits to see what the kings of France and
England will conclude at their interview. [Sir Gregory] Casale has left for
England, with an order from the Pope to the King to leave his concubine
and restore the Queen, for unless he does this his Holiness must proceed to
do justice. I think he will wait for the victory the Emperor is about to
gain, as well as for Casale's answer. A victory will soon bring the suit to
an end. After the vacation will be a suitable time to ask for the brief,
even if the King send a mandate, if he does not discard the concubine and
restore the Queen. Will persevere in my demands. If the mandate arrives
the cause will not be finished so soon. The brief will produce as much effect
as a sentence, for the people would rise against the King.
The Pope has learned from his Nuncio that the King has received the
brief bidding him send a mandate, but he has sent no answer to it. The
sentence given in the Consistory has now been put in writing. Encloses a
copy. Rome, 30 Sept. 1532.

1366. Dr. John London to [Cromwell].
The words in which you admonish me have caused me great heaviness.
Not that I am faulty in the matter, but I grieve to be noted in anywise
as acting irreverently to the King. It is not true, as reported, that I
should be against the King's matter in Oxford. I consented to everything
that was done, and I refer you to Dr. Bell and Mr. Bedell, the King's
chaplains, for my conduct on that occasion, and also at my lord of Lincoln
and Mr. Almoner's coming there. Some person, who did the King no
service, "hath imagined to find adversaries unto this matter, and so to pick
thank." I gave my consent before the whole university; and when I was
last in London I told you, as I told you now; and I have made means to my
lord of Lincoln for a long time to be suitor for me to the King, for I have
been very heavy at this charge. Mr. Leghton brought me the King's letter
for a book concerning the original grounds of the prœmunire, in which were
many things of antiquity touching the King's matter, and I delivered it to
him without delay. One Howell, the King's servant, brought me the King's
letters for a widow, my college tenant, as well to have the widow as the
lease of her farm; and this I did accomplish. Mr. Norys, Mr. Long, and
others can testify of my towardly doings therein; and wherever I find
occasion to oblige the King or any pertaining to my lady Marquess, (fn. 6) I do
my duty, as Mr. Barlow and Mr. Taylor, her servants, can testify. At my
now coming up, I beg you to help me, that I may declare myself true subject
to the King; and I have desired my lord of Lincoln, Dr. Bell, and Mr. Bedell
to declare my doings in Oxford. Let it be tried whether I ever spoke such
foul and irreverent words, or heard others speak them. I suspect none but
Sir Jonys, who, at leaving Oxford, said to the King's servants and officers
of the town and university, he trusted to find means that I should be brought
up shortly, as he was. Five days before he was fetched, I, with the Commissary,
examined him on certain points of heresy, which I had from
Mr. Chancellor of London, and we took bail for his appearance. When he
was delivered to the King's servants, I found upon him, in a bag under his
jacket, a figure of necromancy, entitled Vindicta Trojœ. I digged out of
the ground the moles he had made, and caused the Commissary to bring
them up, with divers books of unlawful study. Therefore, he does not care
what evil reports he makes of me. If it come from any other, let me know
my accusers. I know I have some adversaries. Let me have some comfort
of you, as you will find me innocent.

1367. Scotland.
"Articles credential given by the King's highness to his trusty
servant Carlisle, herald-at-arms, for answer unto the credence lately declared
unto his Grace by Thomas Scot."
1. After delivering the King's letters and recommendations to the king
of Scots, he shall say that though Henry has made verbal answer to Thos.
Scot, yet, as James complains that no report was made to him of a former
answer given by the King, the King, at his nephew's request, gave strict
orders to his wardens not to "receipt" Scotch rebels; which command he
trusts they have observed, and if not they shall answer for it. It was not
the King's fault if James has not been informed, before this, of his answer
made to Patrick Sinclair.
|
|
2. It is quite true that the King instructed his wardens to appoint the
first meeting on the West Borders, where most need was. It may be that the
earl of Northumberland, before receiving the King's orders, had complained
of attemptates on the East Borders, and desired a meeting, but he has since
conformed to the King's instructions. If redress on the Scotch part has
been delayed by the plague, Henry hopes James will have it done without
further "tract."
|
|
3. The King has no information of the outrage committed, 30 Aug. last,
by Northumberland and lord Dacre's men in Tivedale, and the taking of the
lord of Buccleuch. The Earl, on the contrary, complains of a forage in Tynedale
and Berwick bounds; but if it be proved, justice shall be done.
|
|
4. As to the complaint that rebels of Riddesdale are allowed to come to
Carlisle, the King will see reformation thereof.
|
|
5. If the king of Scots has exposed his person in vain for the reformation
of attemptates, let him ascribe the blame where it is due.
|
|
6. As to the complaint that Angus was suffered to remain on the Borders,
he shall remind James that by the last treaty Angus was allowed to remain
in England in the hope that he might have been reconciled to James through
the King's mediation, and it was thought more convenient that he should
remain near the Borders than anywhere about the King. Nevertheless,
Henry would have been more inclined to satisfy his good brother if the latter
had shown any readiness to administer justice.
|
|
7. As to the suggestion that by causing his wardens to keep diets and not
favor rebels, and by removing Angus and his friends, the King would avoid
the imputation of being an unkind uncle, Henry trusts his deeds will not
merit such a character in the opinion of wise men.
|
|
8. As to the announcement that James has sent a commission to the duke
of Albany to treat for his marriage with Magdalene, daughter of the French
king, or else with the duchess of Urbino, the King is willing to forward his
marriage with the duchess of Urbino.
|
|
9. It is true, that at the conclusion of the last truce, which was made the
longer in order that James might be of full age before its expiry, it was
provided that ambassadors should be sent in the meantime for the conclusion
of a peace. In this intention the King still persists. Signed at the top.

1371. Friar John Lawrence to Cromwell.
I understand that Father de Hay, our late Commissary in England,
whose commission I brought from Paris, has sent letters to the King by his
deputy, the warden of Canterbury, (fn. 9) a man of Father Forrest's promoting, "hy
fawtor" to the Queen, and justifier of her cause. The warden has also received
letters for himself and Forrest, by which I hear the Commissary advises
them to let the province continue as he left it at his departing, for it would
be a great reproof to have a stranger for our head, and desires them to move
the King in that behalf. Today or tomorrow they intend to make suit to
the King. It would be well if you would keep them from speaking to him.
They fear greatly that I shall preach in the King's matter in his favor,
which they say will be a slander to all our religion. They say this either
from sinister affection or ignorance, as I will manifestly prove when the
King commands me, all such slander set apart, for it is scandalum phriseorum
(Pharisœorum?); of which St. Gregory says, "Si scandalum ex veritate
sumitur, utilius nasci scandalum permittitur quam ut veritas relinquatur."
Desires to know the King's pleasure, either by his brother or some trusty
and faithful person. Rytchemownte.

1372. [Croke] to Cromwell.
On Wednesday last, the King, at the suit of Master Almoner, (fn. 10) named
me to the benefice of Fakenham Dame, which purpose he altered for considerations
which this bearer will show you. Concerning Bugby, I shall
not have as much, by 20l. a year, as his Grace gave it me for; for the nuns
of Markyate claim half the tithe corn and half the glebe, the whole charges
lying upon me only. Master Baught knew this, but presented the value
to the King as below, to cause the King to think that the nuns ought to
have nothing, or only 20 nobles a year, out of the parsonage :—"Longe
Bugby, the priest found, and above all charges clear 36l. 13s. 4d., whereof
the nuns of Markyate claim a part, for the which my predecessors paid
some 20 nobles."
Mr. Hughes wrongfully withheld the rent of 20 nobles from the nuns,
and was sued by them. They have now let the tithes to Mr. Kindiseley's
servant, and the benefice is thereby so decayed that, unless the King find
some means that the parsons may have the tithes for the rent, the benefice
is not likely to be an honorable reward, as it formerly was. Thus I am
nothing so well rewarded for my service as the King supposes.
My especial suit to you is to remember my insufficiency by reason of my
long discontinuance to read Greek, and the great loss of my learning in
holy letters, unto the study where[of] I have by solemn oath professed
myself. As you know, to read holy doctors in Greek were nothing to the
"profremente" of the hearers to the eloquence of the Greek tongue, and
to read poets and orators will ask my whole study, and make me neglect
divinity, "prec[hing,]" and teaching, by which I should much more
beautify the King's college than by reading Greek. I should like to have
the room of a preacher in the college, to be bound to preach every Sunday
in one place or other. Thursday night.
The reason why Master Almoner and Master Hawkins, to whom the
King had given Fakenham, were moved to petition him to give it me,
was only their pity and goodness, which, considering my small living, and
how I was deceived by Bugby, would fain have helped me with some other
recompense.
