Oct. 13. Sanuto Diaries, v. lv. p. 71.	686. Carlo Capello to the Signory.
	Has been three times to the King to ask permission to load and purchase wools a year before the period assigned for their sale to aliens. At length obtained a reply that they would give the wools, but must know the quantity; so he wrote to the merchants of the galleys at Hampton to specify the number of sacks. They replied that they could not tell, but that his Majesty should give a licence to purchase the quantity required by them.
	Concerning the divorce, the King has had recourse to King Ferdinand to appease the Emperor; and it is said they are negotiating a marriage between this King [of England] and the Archduchess Maria, widow of the King of Hungary and sister to the Emperor.
