26 Sept. Calig. E. II. 143. B. M.	498. Richard Lee to Lord [Cromwell].
	"The King's works and . . . . . . . . . . . [thanks] to our Lord God, is well forward, to wit . . . . . . . . . . . . [call]yd Kyrkbyes tower is of the height of the p . . . . . . . . . . . . the vamure about in height 2 ft. and part of . . . . . . . . . . . vamure made on both sides, containing 40 ft.; also . . . . . . . . . . ward from Boleyngate to the same tower, containing ij. . . . . . . . . . in length is at this day above the vamure, and s[o shall be fini]sshed within this xv. days. Also there is stopped an . . . . . . kyd up, all the arches from Boleyngate eastwa[rd] . . . . . the yard of the house called the Heremytage, con[taining in] length 260 foot, purposing to bring up the countermu[re t]hereof this year. Touching the King's affairs . . . . . at Guysnes, is finished to the height of the vamur[e, and we] now purpose to bring up the countermure within from the . . . . . . . to the brewhouse, and so to rest for this year, trust[ing to] finish the same shortly."
	The workmen and labourers, v^c . . . in number, are unpaid for last month ending 16 inst. Thos. Fowler has never a penny, saying the St[aple] be in debt 1,676l. 5s. 6d. m. ste[rling], of which he is told they have paid to Mr. Vice-Treasurer, now in England, 600l. This would scant pay for last month. Is greatly blamed for the lack of money, considering it is his first entry, and because he has been somewhat sharp to bring them in good [order]. If payment is delayed, it will give them occasion "to be clean again forth of frame." Asks for money to be delivered to the vicetreasurer, to be conveyed to him.
	"[On St. Matthew's] Day last past they of the town of Abbeville [made great] triumph with procession for the victory [which] the French king hath gotten of the Emperor. . . . . . . . . . . . the countie of Nasso was fain to forsake h. . . . . . . Peron; which St. Mathewes Day at afternoon [there was] such a fire within the said town of Abbeville tha[t there] was burnt above 500 households, which came a[bout, as is] reported, by Burgonyons laying of wild fire, and [that] some of them that did it be taken." Calais, 26 Sept. Signed. Pp. 2. Mutilated.
26 Sept. R. O.	499. Peter Vannes, Dean of Sarum, to Lord Lisle.
	Though I seldom write, I am always anxious to hear of you. A near friend and countryman of mine, Nicolas Deodati, in going out of Flanders towards Lyons by Calais and Boulogne has been arrested by the captain of Boulogne as a Spaniard or Genoese, though he was born and brought up in the city of Luke, notwithstanding that the merchants of Luke traffic freely in Lyons, and have lately received a privilege and safe-conduct from the French king. I have caused the French ambassador here to write to de Bees about it, and I ask your lordship to do the same. F[rom] . . . ., 26 Sept. Signed. In Vaughan's hand, p. 1. Slightly mutilated, Add.: Deputy of Calais.
R. O.	500. [The Keeper of Hunsdon Park to Henry VIII.]
	"A remembrance for hunting in the King's Park at Hunsdon."
	Christopher, Mr. Stuard's servant, and Thos. Undercombe's servant coursed in the little park on Tuesday night before Bartilmew Day. Roger of the Bakehouse told the names to Thos. Ferres, Grene's servant.
	On Monday or Tuesday night before the Nativity of Our Lady, Rafe of the Chaundrie in lady Mary's and lady Elizabeth's house, servant to Lawles, was hunting with others.
	On Holyrood Day there was a buck killed with a crossbow. My servants found Roger of the Bakehouse watching, and he whistled in his fist to give warning. Wm., the keeper, found Rafe Shelton, gentleman, John Eiton, yeoman, and Nicholas Russell, Shelton's servant, hid in the wood. John, the parish priest, knew of Eyton's having the nut of his crossbow filed that morning. Shelton offered the keeper an angel. Christopher and Lyvall, Mr. Stuard's servants, stole two fawns. Thos., Edw. Undercombe's man, and Richard, Rafe Shelton's man, coursed in the park beyond Grene's lodge on Wednesday next before Shrovetide. Took up one of the dogs and sent it to Rafe Shelton or his father, desiring them to be friendly to the King's grounds. Shelton has killed hernshaws with his handgun, and driven away all the old breeders. A buck and doe were killed last summer and found at his servants' lodging. He had them put in the stocks that he might not be thought guilty. A buck's head was found in Jorneman's wheat hard by Grene's walk. Rafe of the Chaundry killed a doe with his dog, which Robt. a Lee, my keeper, took. Both at Eltham and Bishop's Hatfield, as well as other places, Shelton has done such trespasses. I and my servants are sore threatened, and they will be more extreme against us now. Pp. 3. Add.: Sir Nicolas Carew, master of the King's Horse. Endd.
27 Sept. R. O. St. P., I. 459.	501. Rafe Sadler to Cromwell.
	On the arrival of your servant, Mr. Rowse, with your letters, having first perused those directed to me, I delivered the others to the King, who read them thoroughly, and bade me keep them till he had supped. In his going to the Queen's chamber to supper, I told him, by the way, you had written to me that the Father of Syon was departed, and that you would repair thither for the election of another. He said it were well you should do so. "Howbeit," quoth he, "the Charterhouse in London is not ordered as I would have had it," adding, that he had commanded Cromwell long ago to put the monks out of the house; and though Cromwell now wrote that they were reconciled, he would not admit their obedience, seeing that they had been so long obstinate. I showed his Highness that you had committed Ralph Shelton to the Fleet, and that he confessed to setting up the ladder and to having killed deer. His Grace said no doubt you would try him sufficiently ere you left him. By this his Grace was in the Queen's chamber, ready to wash and sit down to supper. After supper he returned to his chamber, sent for me, and said he had considered your letters, and, seeing how the plague reigned in Westminster, even in the Abbey, he was in doubt whether or not to defer the Coronation. He said, therefore, it were good that all his Council were here to consult on it, and bade me write to you that my lord Admiral, Mr. Comptroller, and the bishop of Hereford are here, and that you yourself should come hither immediately, and bring with you my lord Chancellor, if he were near London, and the rest of the Privy Council. I said that ere you could have word of this it would be tomorrow afternoon, and too late to set out, and that next day was Michaelmas Day. "What then?" quoth his Grace, "Michaelmas Day is not so high a day." Wherefore, I perceive, he will expect you on Michaelmas Day, or the next morning, the sooner the better. To the rest of your letters the King will answer at your coming.
	I have sent all the letters stamped, but you may defer sending them forth till you know further of the King's pleasure. Windsor, 27 Sept. "at 12 a clock of the night, which is our accustomed hour in the Court to go to bed." Hol., pp. 3. Add.: Lord Cromwell, Keeper of the Privy Seal. Endd.
28 Sept. R. O.	502. E. Duchess of Norfolk to Cromwell.
	Is emboldened to write by Cromwell's kindness. Hears he has taken into his service many of the duke of Richmond's servants. The wife of one Arnold, the duke of Richmond's brewer, shows the writer that Cromwell promised to take Arnold when the Duke was dead, if he was suitable. He is an honest man; when she and her husband were in Ireland he was brewer to her husband. Begs him to "be in hand" with the King and her husband that she may have a better living. Is in Hertfordshire, a hard country, for she could lie better cheap in London, having bare 300 mks., 50l. a quarter. Has been from her husband four years come Easter, and is determined never to come in his company while she lives. 28 Sept. Signed. P. 1. Add.: Lord Privy Seal. Endd.
28 Sept. R. O.	503. Sir Fras. Bigode to Cromwell.
	Bigod and others were commanded by the sheriff of Yorkshire to attend at York castle on Tuesday afore Michaelmas Day, and when there were ordered to come again on Tuesday, Oct. 10. Asks Cromwell to order the sheriff to deliver again to their sanctuary such sanctuary men as lately were his servants. Would not desire any thing in their favor because they were at this detestable act, but Rafe Ewere, by help of serjeant Jennye, made untrue information to the Chancellor, whereupon they obtained his letters to the bishop of Durham. Sends a copy thereof with two testimonials, that Cromwell may perceive that the suggestion made to the Chancellor is untrue. The bishop of Durham, the earl of Westmoreland, and the prior and convent of Durham have all made testimonials to the same effect, and answered the lord Chancellor's letters. Asks therefore that according to grants made to the church of Durham, they may be restored to sanctuary. This would win the hearts of all the North, especially in the Bishopric, adeo sunt suo dicati Cuthberto. Begs Cromwell to excuse him his payment for a quarter of a year. Asks Cromwell to write to the archbishop of York to give a prebend or benefice to Master Jherom, a monk of Canterbury who is at Bigod's house. This would be a gracious deed for the establishment of God's word here. York, Michaelmas eve. Signed. Pp. 2. Add.: Lord Cromwell, Lord Privy Seal. Endd.
28 Sept. R. O.	504. The Canons of Hexham.
	Account by Lyonell Graye, Robt. Collyngwod, Wm. Grene, and Jas. Rokeby, commissioners for the dissolution of monasteries in Northumberland, of the conduct of the "chalons" (canons) of Hexham. Were riding thither on 28 Sept., 28 Hen. VIII., and at Dilston heard that the convent had prepared guns and artillery to defend themselves. Gray and Collingwood accordingly went on with a few persons. Found many armed persons in the streets. When they entered the common bell of the town was rung, and then the great bell of the monastery. The gates were shut and a "chalon," called the master of Ovingeham, appeared in harness on the leads and said there were 20 brethren in the house who would all die before the commissioners should have it. After some consultation the master of Ovingham and the sub-prior reappeared, bringing with them a writing under the King's broad seal, and said "We do not doubt but ye bring with you the King's seal of authority for this house, albeit, ye shall see here the King's confirmation of our house under the great seal of king Henry the viijth, God save his Grace. We think it not the King's honor to give forth one seal contrary to another. And afore any other of our lands, goods, or house be taken from us, we shall all die, and that is our full answer." Graye and Collyngwood returned to the rest of the commissioners and they all went back to Corbrigge.
	Thos. Elrington of Espersheles, Jas. Bellingham of Hexham, and Roger Lawson of Hexhamshire, say that after the commissioners departed from the town, the "chalons" marched out in harness to the Green, but the commissioners were past out of sight, and so they returned. Signed by the commissioners. A paper roll of 2 sheets. Endd.
28 Sept. Vit. B. xxi. 156. B. M.	505. Bernhardus a Mela to Cromwell.
	"Salutem, etc. Magnifice . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ma ego jamdudum ad R . . . . . . . . . . . . . ad tuæ Magnificentie literas . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [ta]bellario, quem istuc in Angl . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .et confido, si modo ad vos salvus . . . . . . . . . . . nunctius, omnium te rerum, quæ tum h . . . . . . . . cognitionem percepisse ex meis scriptis, . . . . . . ca diligenter significabam, quæ ut scire . . . . . plurimum interesse." But as it is not safe to entrust all the news to letters I have earnestly desired the King or you to send hither and to some other suitable place Magistrum Ch[risto]pherum, the German secretary, or some other faithful person that I might communicate with him things which the King ought to know. Not having yet heard the King's intention I repeat my request. I am living here at great expense, and shall be obliged to leave unless I hear from you. Beware of fraud under the colour of friendship.
	The Burgundians have taken Gronneg (Groningen) and Damme in Friesland. The Imperialists are attacking the prince of Gueldres. Christian, prince of Holstein and king designate of Denmark, holds the whole kingdom quietly, with great favor from all the people. He has not only dismissed all the seven Danish bishops, who were very powerful, but also put them in prison and confiscated their property. This will probably be explained at the assembly of the kingdom on the Sunday after St. Dionysius Day, at Copenhagen. Lubeck, the day before Michaelmas, "Anno, etc. xxxv[i]." (fn. 1) Lat. Hol., p. 1. Mutilated. Add. and Endd. at f. 157. (fn. 1) b.
29 Sept. R. O.	506. Calais.
	Declaration of the account of Rob. Fowler, vice-treasurer of Calais from Mich. 27 to Mich. 28 Hen. VIII. Large paper, pp. 14.
29 Sept. R. O.	507. Loys de Renty to Lord Lisle.
	Two days ago some Frenchmen of the garrison of Authighes and Cresecques came through your pale into Bredenarde, where they took booty and returned into France through your pale again. I beg you to show no favour any longer to either side and to remember the last letter you wrote me on this subject. I think wrong was done to the compaignons, who were then taken by the bailly of Marke in depriving them of two French prisoners, the one of Abbeville and the other of Desuerne, as I then wrote to you, to which I have had no answer. It will be owing to you if you do not get back the said booty, which amounts to 50 or 60 beasts, horses, and horned beasts. St. Omer, 29 Sept. 1536. Signed. Fr., p. 1. Add.
29 Sept. Add. MS. 8,715, f. 288. B. M.	508. Bishop of Faenza to Mons. Ambrogio.
	* * * The king of Scotland is coming in post to see Mons. de Vandomo, in Picardy, with the intention of being present at the intended battle (giornata) with the Emperor. The French king sends a great body of gentlemen to meet him, with orders that he is to be received everywhere as himself. Ital., pp. 2. Modern copy.

30 Sept. R. O.	510. Sir Fras. Bryan to Cromwell.
	Of late my friend, Thomas Dudley, the bearer, has moved the King of a certain almhouse, the gift whereof used to belong to the kings of England but has been many years embezzled. His Grace referred the matter to you, and I beg you will favour Dudley, as he is a younger brother without a living. 30 September. Signed. P. 1. Add.: Lord Privy Seal. Sealed. Endd.
30 Sept. R. O.	511. John Vernon to Cromwell.
	Thanks for the continuance of Cromwell's favour, of which he has been informed by the lord President, the bp. of Chester. In consideration of his service in the marches of Wales and other shires, desires the preferment of some religious house. Cromwell's pains in this shall be recompenced. Harleston, 30 Sept. Hol., p. 1. Add.: Lord Privy Seal. Endd.
30 Sept. Calig. B. III. B. M. St. P. v. 60.	512. Angus to Cromwell.
	The king of Scots has left Scotland with five ships. Hears that he reached Dieppe 10 Sept., and departed next day. He has taken with him from Scotland the earls of Argyle, Arran, and Rothes, &c. He has left as governors of the realm the earls of Huntly, Montrose, and Aglinton, lord Maxwell, the abps. of St. Andrews, and Glasgow being chancellor. Begs Cromwell will move the King to write to his ambassadors in France to desire Angus' pardon of the king of Scots. Could do the King better service in his own country than here. Berwick, 30 Sept. Add.: Lord Privy Seal. Endd. by Wriothesley.
30 Sept. Nero, B. VI. 145. B. M.	513. H. Cole to Morison.
	Is glad that Moryson has showed himself fitter for a higher fortune than he has hitherto had, and which he prays he may soon obtain. Would be glad to see his book when it is printed. Hears his master (fn. 2) has a "catarro." Sends him a remedy devised by Favenzo Frigemelica and Urbin, assembled together in a college, with certain advices of other physicians. Asks him to send word how he does, and whether he can do anything for him in these parts. The Emperor is on his way towards Milan. Cesar Fregos with Signor Canin and Conte Guido di Rangon have assaulted Genoa, but their favourers of the town were known, and their heads cast over the wall, and the assault repulsed. Antonio di Leva is dead. The Turks have war this year with the Sophy. The bishops of Chete and Verona have gone to Rome with many other great men. Padue, last day of September. Hol., p. 1. Add.
R. O.	514. Sir Henry Parker to Cromwell.
	Contrary to the King's injunctions for the abrogation of superstitious holydays, the curates and sextons of Stordford and Little Hadam kept "high and solemn, with ringing and singing," Holy Rood day last, insomuch that there was like to have been much dissension between them and those who went to their bodily labour. Parker chanced not to be within the shire at the time, but on his return he called the said parsons before him, who could not deny the fault. Has therefore, according to the King's letters, committed them to ward. Desires credence for his servant. Hol., p. 1. Add.: Lord Cromwell, Privy Seal. Endd.
R. O.	515. Sir Henry Parker to Cromwell.
	Desires favour for his chaplain, the bearer, who is like to be undone by one Parson Whytthed, surveyor to the bishop of London, who on Saturday last cited him to appear at Poll's on Wednesday next. Asks Cromwell to call the matter before himself or else commit it to any indifferent person. Is not loved by the bishop, whose chaplains he will not permit to neglect their duties in the King's injunctions commanded, as he will show Cromwell on Friday next, when he will wait on his lordship. The people of the shire are desirous to learn the King's law, if they had good pastors; if the bishop weeds out the bearer, "then is there not one left within the shire." Desires credence for the bearer. Hol., pp. 2. Add.: Lord Cromwell, Privy Seal.

Hist. MSS. Com., Report VI., 445.	517. The Earl of Derby to Sir W. Fitzwilliam, Lord Admiral and Treasurer of the King's Household.
	Whereas the King's Commissioners have valued not only the glass and bars in the church windows of Boriscogh, and in the hall and chambers of the prior with the paving, but also all other goods there, at a higher price than they be well worth,—asks for a reasonable deduction. As his ancestors, who were founders, lie buried there, he would be glad that the church might stand in good reparation, although the priory do continue, as it is, suppressed, intending to find some priest there, at his own cost, to do divine service for the souls of his said ancestors, and for the ease and wealth of the neighbours.—Asks Fitzwilliam's help to buy the bells and lead there. And whereas his (Derby's) uncle, Sir James Stanley, is steward of the Priory, &c., &c. Anno 28 Hen. VIII.
R. O.	518. Robt. Hogan to Cromwell.
	Begs Cromwell to keep in remembrance a letter that the King's commissioners wrote him for the standing of the monastery of Penteney, (fn. 3) which is not yet suppressed. The prior thinks it might stand, and says "my lord of Rutland is content, for the farm shall not [be?] so profitable on to him as he thought it should." Sends 6 pheasants, 2 doz. partridges, and 2 cranes by the bearer. Estbradenham.
	He, his wife, and children are bound to pray for Cromwell. Hol., p. 1. Add.: Lord Privy Seal. Endd.
