(fn. 3) Found Mons. de Granvela very angry at it, threatening to stop commerce. Knows not what will happen, but every day they stand worse with that King. Nothing is thought of but the [Emperor's] departure hence, to visit this country, and go on to Ratisbon, and thence to Italy and Spain. * * * * Brussels, 26 Sept. 1540. Italian. Modern extract (from a Vatican MS.), p. 1.

R. O. St. P., viii. 436.	Has seen the French king again about Blancherose, pursuant to the King's letters of the 16th, by Francisco (argument detailed). He answered that when the Chancellor and Card. Tornon examined the fellow he said he was born in Orleans, as the Constable was commanded to show. Told him of his coming to him and Carne to ask for the King's pardon, confessing that he was born in Wales; and that he spoke bad French and good English. Francis repeated that it was reported to him that the man was born in Orleans, and promised to deliver him if it was proved he was English. Made several efforts to get a letter from Francis on the subject, without success; first applying to the King himself, then to the Constable who left or Chantilly, and sending messages by Francisco and Norfolk herald, Bushtet at last gave him as the reason that when Francis wrote to Henry he did not reply by letter, but wrote to his ambassador to answer it. Desired then to speak with the Chancellor and Card. Tornon whom he told that he could have proved the man to be born in England, and instanced his bad French. The Cardinal replied “that his mother was English and dwelled in Orleans and in the Cardinal's time of York being brought up in England.” He asked also why Henry did not deliver Modena, who was required about an account of 100,000 cr. of which President Jentill beguiled the King, Asked, in reply, why they did not keep this person in prison until they knew what answer they would have about Modena, and said they thought this man was a great personage, but he was of ill qualities, his father being a poor man. In the course of discussion, Wallop instanced the delivery of Adrian Cappes, and the French complained of the treatment of the Breton and De Rochepot, and Wallop of the matters of the duke of Suffolk, Geo. Hampton, Dupyne, a Gascon, and Thos. Barnabe. Nothing has been said about the matter of Calais, though Mons. du Biez dined with him. Andrew Doria is said to have died at the return into Sicily from Tunis. It is thought that the marriage between the duke of Cleves and the king of Navarre's daughter will take effect. That between the Bp. of Rome's niece and Mons. Homale (fn. 4) is concluded. Latino Jovenal came for the purpose. Cardinal Nychastro has had an interview with the King and left. It is said that Barbarossa has taken certain ships laden with marble for the Empress's tomb, which he has sent to Pera to garnish his garden. Mante, 27 Sept. Signed. Pp. 9. Add. Endd.
27 Sept.	83. Francis I. to Marillac.
R. O. Kaulek, 225. (Abstract.)	Has received his letter of the 18th (sic), and had already sent the copy of the treaty of England and an instruction. As to the poor man (fn. 5) Wallop sues to have delivered to him, there is no reason (for causes already written) to deliver him, as Marillac shall tell the King if questioned; still, as Francis is not yet altogether assured of the said causes, Marillac shall prolong the affair, saying he expects further reasons to be sent. The Constable has spoken about the poor Breton, Tilly, to Wallop, who promised to write to his master. French. Modern transcript, pp. 2. Headed: 27 Sept., from Mantes.
27 Sept	84. The Nuncio Poggio to Cardinal Farnese.
R. O.	* * * The king of England says he will wait to see what the Lutherans do. So far he is pleased with his new wife; the other, sister of Cleves, has retired in peace, and lives. Even the king of France resents the prohibition of foreign ships from carrying out merchandise, and so the conclusion is deferred until Easter. From here people continue to go thither; and the prince of Salerno is now sending thither his master of horse to present two horses to the King. * * * Brussels, 27 Sept. 1540. Italian. Modern extract from a Vatican MS., p. 1.

Kaulek, 225. (Extracts.)	Has read his despatch of the 18th (sic) to the King, who replies to it, desiring Marillac to see that his subjects are not molested by the recent Acts made there, upon which memoirs and instruction have been sent. The King writes also touching the poor man (fn. 7) Wallop sues to have delivered to him. Spoke about the poor Breton, Tilly, to Wallop, who promised to write of him. As to the enterprise by those of Calais and Guisnes, there is near Ardres a bridge called “Pout de la Cauchoire alias des Vaches,” which has always been of the King's domain and is now let to farm by him; and yet those of Calais and Guisnes came forcibly to break the bridge and stop the passage. The King has written to Du Biez and Saint Seval, captain of Ardres, to rebuild the bridge, since the deputy of Calais has refused to do so. The King approves of Marillac's reply to the Council touching John Tailleur. Has come on before to his house of Chantilly, where he has been one day, and where Marillac's cousin (fn. 8) has come to him, who carries this despatch. Leaves to-day for his other house of L'Isle Adam, where he expects to find the King making good cheer.

	101. John Lassells.
R. O.	On returning to Court, 15 Sept., asked his fellows Jonson and Maxey “what news there were pertaining God's holy word, seeing we have lost so noble a man (fn. 20) which did love and favour it so well”; adding that he supposed that the ringleaders, as the duke of Norfolk and bp. of Winchester, did not lean that way. Maxey in reply said that Norfolk was not ashamed to say that he had never read the Scriptures nor ever would, and it was merry in England before this new learning came up. This was in the King's great chamber. In consequence of this, advised Mr. Smythwyke not to be too rash or quick in maintaining the Scriptures, for if we would let them alone and suffer a little time, they would overthrow themselves, standing manifestly against God and their Prince, and so recited the duke of Norfolk's words at Chobbame, and other words he said to a man in the Exchequer, whom he rebuked for having married a nun. The man answered that he knew “no nuns nor religious folk in this realm, nor no such bondage, seeing God and the King have made them free.” At this the Duke said, “By God's body sacred, it will never out of my heart as long as I live.” Next day Smythwyke repeated these words to Mr. Hare, who advised him to declare them to the King's Council. On hearing this, has declared them himself. Signed: John Lasselles. Pp. 2. Endd.

	103. The Vice-Treasurer of Ireland.
R. O.	Order to Sir Ant. Sentleger of the Privy Chamber, deputy of Ireland, Thos. Walshe, one of the barons of the Exchequer, John Mynne, one of the auditors of the same, and Wm. Cavendishe, one of the Auditors of the Court of Augmentations; to take the accounts of Wm. Brabazon, vice-treasurer of Ireland, which they are authorised to do by letters patent dated 16 Aug. last, upon the said Vice-treasurer's own oath, as he received many sums of which he has no record and made many payments upon warrant only of the private letters of the late Lord Privy Seal, as, by his humble suit, “we be crediable enformed.” Copy, pp. 2.
	104. Lorenzo de' Medici.
R. O.	The Seigneur Laurens de Medicis, being in France, upon the truce between the Emperor and King at Nice, retired to Venice, where he remained until August last, most of the time in hiding for fear of emissaries of the Emperor, who pursues him both for the death of Duke Alexander and because he fears his influence in Florence. There, about a year ago, the English ambassador at Venice proposed to him to enter the King of England's service. This he would not at that time do as he was in treaty to marry his two sisters to Peter and Robert Strossy, sons of the late Messer Philip Strossy, which marriages are since concluded. In August last, he left Venice for France by way of Grisons and Switzerland and arrived at Paris in the beginning of September. At Paris he saw the Cardinal of Lorraine, on his way from the Court to Lorraine, who assured him the King would receive him well. Before going to Court he sent word to the Cardinal of Tournon, who replied that the King, considering his alliance with the Emperor, could not receive him openly at Court, but he might continue to reside anywhere in his kingdom. Hearing this, and being at Paris at great expense, with 4 Italian captains and 12 horses in his train, he bethought himself of the proposals of the English ambassador at Venice, and, if the English King is still of the same mind and wishes to establish an ordonnance de millicie after the Italian fashion, he is ready to serve him. French, pp. 2. Endd.. “The declaration of Sir Laurence de Medices of his going out of Florence and where he hath been ever since.”
	105. George Everat to the Privy Council.
R. O.	Wrote by Thos. Flude, Wm. Watzon's servant, of the words spoken by one Pentacull, dwelling in Lubeck, against the King, and of the book made in Hamborch in commendation of Robert Barnyes, lately burned in London. Could not send the book as none was printed. It was said to be made by one Dr. Johens Freyter and should have been put forth under the names of certain Englishmen dwelling at Hamborch, but some refusing the others did so likewise. Sends it by this bearer, as it has since been printed in Latin at Lubeck, and another book in Dutch by the “patrearcke of Garmyne, Marten Luter,” translated, as he says, from English. In the preface he rails against the King like a venomous serpent. He writes much of the Gospel, using what serves his purpose and leaving the rest, as if he were wiser than the Apostles and Evangelists, who wrote nothing but the true Scripture. What does not accord to his mind, that is fables, as St. James' epistle. He writes openly that St. Mark, Matthew, and Luke's gospels are not so good as St. John's gospels and St. Paul's epistles, for they write not Christ's words but his works and make nothing for our salvation. The Scripture must be preached after his mind or else he will rail and jest upon those that do not preach his gospel, as against the King for burning “Cristes holy holy martyr Robarnes his desypull.” Will himself bring other two books in case these are lost. Has other things which he has heard in Denmark to show them. Hol., pp. 2. Endd.: George Everard, from Dawsick.
	106. Dr. Barnes.
	“Bekantnus des Glaubens, die Robertus Barns der Heiligen Schrifft Doctor (inn Deudschem Lande D. Antonius genent) zu Lunden inn Engelland gethan hat, Anno MDXL. am xxx tag des Monats Julii, Da er zum Fewer one urteil und recht, unschuldig, unverhörter sach, gefurt und verbrant worden ist. Aus der Englischen sprach verdeudscht. Mit einer Vorrhede D. Martini Luthers. Wittemberg, 1540.” Luther's preface begins: “Diesen Doctor Robertus Barns, der sich bey uns, aus sonderlicher demut nicht wolt Doctor nennen lassen, nennet sich Antonius, dazu er hatte ursachen, denn er zuvor inn Engelland von den heiligen Bischouen, Sanet Papisten, gefangen, mit grosser mühe crlöset war, Diesen Doctor, sage ich, kennen wir ja wol.” And Luther rejoices that his table companion and comrade has been so graciously called by God to shed his blood for his dear Son's sake and to become a holy martyr. Who could have believed twenty years ago that Christ was so near us? Now this holy martyr, St. Robert, when he, being absent with the King's leave, learned that his King, Harry of England, was an enemy of the Pope, came back to England in the hope of planting the Gospel in his fatherland, and at last he made a beginning. Henry put up with him, as his fashion was, until he sent him to us in Wittemberg in the matter of the divorce, in which it was said 13 universities had given their opinions, all in Henry's favour. But, after long discussions and great expense to the Elector of Saxony, it was found that Henry had not sent an embassy because he wished to be evangelical, but merely that we at Wittemberg might approve of his divorce. At last they said their King would not tolerate these four things, communion in both kinds, priests' marriages and the abolition of the mass and monkery. I said, “We should have been told that at first. Your king takes the money from the Pope and upholds his government, so Henry is Pope in England.” Barnes himself often said to me Rex meus non curat religionem, sed est, &c. Yet he loved his King and country so warmly, that be bore all such things and still talked continually of “my king”; as his confession shows he did to the end, always hoping that his King would at last turn good. We used often to discuss together how the King could take the horrible title Defensor fidei et in terris caput supremum et immediatum post Christum Ecclesiæ Anglicanæ. But the answer was simply Sic volo sic jubeo, &c.; which shows clearly “das juncker Heintze wil Gott sein und thun was in gelüstet.” The cause, however, why Barnes was martyred is still hidden, because Henry must be ashamed of it. But it seems to be what many good people say, viz., that Barnes, like St. John the Baptist, disapproved of the King's act in putting away the lady of Juliers and taking another. For what “Juncker Heintz” wills must be an article of the faith for life and death. Dr. Barnes himself said to me here that More and the bp. of Rochester were also condemned almost for that very cause that they disapproved articles which he had ordained. Then follows the confession (substantially agreeing with the account given in Foxe, V. 434–6), with a few words prefixed giving an account of his calm demeanour on the way to execution, when he spoke to many people, both English and German.

	108. Thomas Barnaby to Henry VIII.
R. O.	Petition complaining of the “cruel justice” he has had here in France for 11 or 12 years past, notwithstanding many sentences obtained. Of late the King and Chancellor both promised Mr. Wallappe that he should be dispatched within short space; but it is only “the promises of France.” Mr. Wallappe is highly entertained here with their flattering words to blear his eyes withal; but Barnaby knows them better than any poor man in England. A Breton here has made, to the King, “a selamation of justice in England,” desiring to have a letter of marque for a matter of a fly, yet I am denied justice when I have paid your Grace 1,100 marks, besides 1,000 marks they owe me, and 1,000 marks for the suit. Wherefore as my matter is so well known, and I have better cause to demand a letter of marque than the Breton, I beg your Grace to succour me, for I am so indebted within England that I dare not come there. The bearer, Allarde, can show that I am only allowed, by the Council, 600 angelettes of the 1,100 marks. P. 1. Add. Endd.
