173. John Bunolt to Cromwell. Sends, enclosed in a letter to Mr. Clarencieux, a letter from Hacket brought today by one of his servants. Is perpetually bound to Cromwell for his goodness. "Good master, the poor commoners of the Maresch prayeth dayly for you, having trust that the orderyng by the King's highness and this honorable Council should have been diffynshed in the said Maresch, as it was then determyned. The poor people woll gladly be in rest, but they be in doubt of it, because the matter appeareth not accordingly." Calais, 21 Feb. Hol., p. 1. Add. : Mr. [Cr]umwell, councillor to the King's highness and master of his Grace's jewels. Endd. |

174. Sir George Lawson to Cromwell. Wrote to the King of the news. On Sunday night last, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, my Lord Warden with the Council and the garrisons kept watch for the entry of the Scots, but they did not come. The earl of Murray with divers lords of Scotland lie at Jedworth and Kelso with 2,000 men besides the country, and against the next full moon there come to the Borders other 2,000,—whether to defend or invade we know not. Today the whole Council is gone to Warkworth to consult with my Lord Warden. Has received of Sir Rauf Ellercar from Cromwell, 1,500l. My Lord Warden is very active, and has had ill lodging and rest this last week. I pray you, move the King for the wardship of my son "Rykbees" heir, considering the grandson and mother hath all his lands in feoffment. Warkworth, 21 Feb. Hol., p. 1.

176. Wallop to Henry VIII. William Kene, my servant, arrived on the 12th with your Grace's letters, dated Westm., 9th, whilst I was at Rouen. I have declared to the French king the specialties conveyed in the extract. He said he had been advertised of them by his ambassador in England, and made answer by Langeais. He begged me to say that whatever sweet words the Pope may have used to the Emperor in your matter, it was all dissimulation. He sees no reason for a truce for three years where no war is. He will condescend to a general, but not to a particular council, and says that a proposition has been made to him for one to be held on the Italian-French frontier, from which you were to be omitted ; to which he would not consent. He promised to write to Tournon and Grammont to further your cause with the Pope. Has not spoken of their coldness in this behalf, in consequence of the postscript to the King's letter. Though they have been cold in setting forth the King's cause, they have been right hot and diligent in procuring a marriage between the duke of Orleans and the Pope's niece, but of this Francis dropped not a word. It is said that Ferdinand and the Waiwode have concluded a truce for five months. Paris, 22 Feb. Signed. Add. Endd. |

177. Haukins to Henry VIII. Since his last letter has spoken to the Pope with a view to draw him into conversation, and to remove his scruples about the variety of opinions of the learned men, and the force of the Levitical law. His answer was, that without a mandate from the King he could do nothing. On the 18th conversed with a friar who has written on the King's cause. He holds that the dispensation was void, because there was not a maxima causa. Details the conversation. Compliments the King on the appointment of Cranmer as archbishop. Campeggio on Feb. 21 propounded in the Consistory the vacancy, and the bulls desired for the elect. The annates ad rigorem are 10,000 ducats. The "propina" of Campeggio comes to 1,500 ducats. The Pope's officers for small services will demand 3,000 or 4,000, and at the next Consistory the Archbishop will have his pall for 1,000 ducats more. "This pall is a piece of white cloth, made of the wool of certain lambs, which the Pope halloweth, and consecrate by the Pope, and laid upon St. Peter his sepulchre." The Emperor leaves on the Thursday after Ash Wednesday. Supposes the King knows of the marriage between the Pope's niece and the duke of Orleans. The Emperor "letteth slip" his sentence for the duke of Ferrara against the Pope. Bologna, 22 Feb. Hol. Add. Endd. |

178. Dr. Ortiz to the Empress. Letters have come from Flanders of 24 Jan., stating that the brief has been received, and will be notified. The Emperor sends to order it to be notified at once. Eustace Chapuis writes from England that on Christmas Eve Master Abel and another preacher were let out of the Tower, where they were confined, with orders not to preach or write until five days after Easter (Pascua). The truce between England and Scotland came to an end on St. Andrew's Day (por Santandres), and the English have invaded Scotland in three places and done much damage, taking more than 300 prisoners. The Scotch ambassador in England had returned. It is feared there will be war. The Emperor has sent the count of Cifuentes here as ambassador. Since writing the above, letters have arrived from the ambassador in England, dated 9 Feb., stating that the brief has been notified in Flanders, and that the king of England has given the archbishopric of Canterbury to a chaplain of "this Ana," which has been taken ill by many. Bolonia, 22 Feb. 1533. Sp., pp. 3. Modern copy. |

179. Sir Richard Bulkeley to Cromwell. Has a brother at Cambridge, John Bulkeley, M.A., a priest well seen in divinity, who has no exhibition but what the writer gives him, which he cannot easily spare during his father's life. Desires Cromwell to get him the benefice of Danam, in Cheshire, which is in the gift of Mr. Savage, now the King's ward, especially as it is said Dr. Bonar is to be bishop of Chester. Will. Brereton, of the privy chamber, has married Savage's mother. The benefice is worth 20l. a year. Will give Cromwell 20l. for his pains to buy him a saddle, and his brother will give him yearly a third of the value of the benefice. But Cromwell must anticipate Brereton's application, as he has the nonage of the child. Beaumaris. 22 Feb. Hol., p. 1. Add. : Of the Privy Council. Endd. |

180. Chapuys to Charles V. As the Queen sees that the obstinacy of the King increases daily, and the appearances of disorder in view of the new marriage, she is compelled to employ your aid. Since my last of the 15th, the King does not cease to press the archbishops of Canterbury and York, the bishops of London, Winchester, and Lincoln, and many others, Italians as well as English, to subscribe a document he has drawn up to his taste, of a very strange nature, as you will see. The archbishop of York and the bishop of Winchester have not yet agreed to do so. The elect of Canterbury has made no difficulty about it, and has even solicited it, as if it were his own business ; and if it be true, as I am told today on good authority, that he has gone to give the Queen special notice of it, he has given good earnest of maintaining the opinion of the King in this divorce without variation. He has married (esposé) the King to the Lady, in presence of the father, mother, brother, and two of her favorites, and one of his priests. If it be so, the King has taken the best means of preventing him from changing his opinions when raised to his dignity, as the archbishop of York has done. It is very probable either that the said elect has solemnised these espousals, or has promised to do so for certain considerations, as I have written to your Majesty, especially as since he has been elected he has dared to say openly that he would maintain, on pain of being burned, that the King might take the Lady to wife. The bruit continues, that in order to accomplish the said marriage the King waits for nothing else except the bulls of the elect ; and for this purpose he has commanded those who have the charge of it to summon a provincial synod for the 16th. It is said that the King means to demand money for a war with Scotland, and to make harbours on the coast ; and the better to colour the matter, the king of France has sent him a master architect. The French ambassador had intended to visit me, but was prevented by company, and proposes to do so tomorrow. It is said that Melanchthon is in one of the King's lodgings, and has been there for eight days, but it is kept such a secret that I can find no one who knows the certainty of it. The King has written for him expressly, I think merely for the Queen's affair, for he favors her, and because he pretends and wishes to have in his hands all ecclesiastical ordinances,—not only the synodical ones of this kingdom, but the papal as well. And in order the better to conduct the affair, last year he induced the prelates, by menaces and devices, to submit to whatever should be decided by 40 persons, of whom one half should be appointed by himself, and the other by the prelates, and himself above all. For this reformation, or rather deformation, it seems he could find no fitter instrument than Melanchthon, so as to give the utmost possible trouble to the Pope, that his previous boasts might not be without effect. The King intends to raise a regiment of horse, and will take the goods of the Church to pay them. He is fleecing the clergy in various ways, and he has just made the Chancellor a present of the best house in Westminster, and given him more than 1,000 ducats of rent out of the revenues of the said abbey. The Scots will do nothing. The four ships will sail tomorrow with 400 men and victuals for four months. Yesterday the King sent for an English merchant who commonly resides in Flanders, and inquired of him curiously about the execution of the brief, and of what was said in Flanders about his marriage, and also about the country, whether it was rich, populous, and loyal to your Majesty, and if it could be easily conquered ; to all which points his answers were quite against the King's wish, who wondered much at what he said, and heaved innumerable sighs.

182. Clement VII. and Charles V. Treaty for defence against the Turk, with a clause that if the Pope treat for the marriage of Katharine de Medici with a son of Francis I. he shall take security that France shall assist in a council for religion and defence against the Turks. Also a clause touching duke Alexander ; and another that the English divorce be not tried anywhere but at Rome, but that the Pope shall give no countenance to the king of England's relations with Anne Boleyn, but shall act upon the brief he lately issued.

183. The Town Of Oxford to Cromwell. We have received your letters dated 20 Feb., in which you advise us to surrender our liberties to the King as the university has done ; to which we have consented, trusting that you will see that we lose none of our liberties, as we pay him yearly a great fee-farm.

184. Wm. Du Bellay [Lord Of Langey], Beauvoys, and Dinteville
to Francis I. Yesterday the king of England sent for Dinteville to show him certain news from Italy ; and Langey, who had news to communicate to him from France, and Beauvais, who had just returned from Scotland, accompanied him. He was pleased with Langey's charge, and agreed with Francis, even about the interview, to which he will send some one whom he trusts, either the duke of Norfolk or the earl of Wiltshire. He desired them to write and say that he wished Francis would desire the cardinals Tournon and Grammont to cause the Pope to do nothing in his affair meanwhile. Langey told him that it would be to their common advantage if he would compose his differences with the Scotch king. He replied, as he had done previously to Montpesat and Dinteville, that any means the King could find would be good for him. Beauvais then told him what he had done in Scotland. He was greatly pleased therewith, especially when he heard that Francis hoped to arrange an interview between him and his nephew. Will not write more, as Langey and Beauvais leave in three or four days, and there is danger of letters being intercepted at sea. London, 26 Feb. Fr. |

185. Sir Geo. Lawson to Cromwell. Has a letter from one of his servants whom he sent along the seacoast to Humber to escry Scotch ships of war. Sends it to the King. He has given warning to all the King's ships now laden with victuals for Berwick not to leave their harbours unless they know the coast to be clear, and the King's ships of war at hand. Urges that the said ships be sent with all haste. Is anxious to know the King's pleasure touching the contents of his last. Wishes an answer from Cromwell to his own two articles. Has commanded John Raven to visit Cromwell from time to time about them. This morning a Scotch ship lying upon the Farne Island chased a ship of Lynne, laden with beans and malt, but she got safe to Berwick. No news but that Murray is still at Jedworth. It is said he was in Riddesdale with a great power last Tuesday night, and burnt two or three small steads. The poor soldiers of Berwick were last night in the Mershe, and burnt a good village beside Byllemyre, and much corn there, bringing home cattle and other spoil. Thinks the King should give them a reward of 20l. Remember money, as the first day of the month is this next Thursday. Berwick, 27 Feb. Hol., pp. 2. Add. : To Master Cromwell, Esquire, and of the King's most honorable Council. Endd. |

186. Sir George Lawson to Henry VIII. Sent lately a servant along the coast to escry Scotch ships of war, and give warning to the ships laden with corn at Hull and elsewhere for the victualling of the Border garrisons, not to leave their havens till they knew the coast to be clear. Encloses his letter. Requests that the ships of war be sent northwards in all haste. This morning a ship of Lynn was chased by a man of war off the Farne Island, but came in safety to Berwick. Begs him to remember the contents of his late letters to the King and Cromwell. Berwick, 27 Feb. Signed. P. 1. Add. |

189. John Whalley to Cromwell. I wrote more largely on the 23rd, showing what things I have passed since my coming to Yarmouth, both touching the King's wines and certain letters found in a Frenchman, belonging to the Scottishmen. These letters remain in the hands of Robert Batys, constable of Leystoft, and the ship also. The letters are not sent up, for all that I could do. Refers to the bearer, a servant of the King's, who has shown the writer much gentleness for Cromwell's sake. Though I expected to have bargained with the merchants of Yarmouth for all the King's wines, they would only give me 200 mks., the amount being 54 tuns by estimate. So I went and filled part of them yesterday and today. The wines take much "ollage," and have leaked considerably. I have played the cooper myself. Five or six merchants and innkeepers of Norwich have been here, who would not have bought 15 tun in all, yet would have demanded one hogshead of red wine in every tun, and might have had 4l. 10s. the tun to have had their choice. I refused because the rest might have laid on my hands. Mr. Parys, of Norwich, today offered me 3l. 13s. 4d. to have them all. Let me know your pleasure. Yarmouth, 28 Feb. 1532. Hol. Add. Endd.

190. James V. to the Parliament Of Paris. Complains of the attempts to dissolve the friendship between the two realms, notwithstanding the treaty of Rouen. The attack of the enemy upon Scotland is a preparation for an invasion of France. It is a bitter thing that they are inclining to the side of the common enemy, neglecting their old friendship with Scotland. If faithfulness to their allies does not move them, they must remember that these new treaties are made for the destruction of both French and Scotch, whose strength being first weakened, France will be attacked. The Ambassador will explain more fully. Striveling, 28 Feb. 1532. This is to be delivered if the result with the French king is contrary to our wish. Afterwards our Ambassador in Flanders must be visited. Lat., copy, p. 1. |

Proclamation made by the Emperor at Bologna that he and the Pope have confirmed the league and confederation made on 23 Dec. 1529, between the Pope, Emperor, Venice, and other powers of Italy, and have strengthened it by a new league in which all the other powers of Italy are included, as appears by a public instrument signed yesterday, 27 Feb. 1533.

194. Henry VIII. to Benet. Received their letters of the 8th, and has written to remove their doubts touching the payment of the money to the Young Man, and supply some omissions in Bonner's instructions. If the vote of the Young Man agrees with that of the Old Man, they may pay the money and excuse delay. As to the Pope's attempt to amplify his jurisdiction to our prejudice and displeasure, we rest on the determination of the university of Orleans, that we are not bound to appear before him in person or by proxy ; and if he has sent any commission to Capisuccha to the contrary, he has done us intolerable wrong. We know what the Pope should and may do, and will treat him accordingly ; and you are to tell him of the determination made by the learned, and urge him to act with circumspection, considering how great is the danger. "Ye be St. Peter's successor," you shall tell him, "a fisher, who when he draweth his net too fast and too hard, then he breaketh it, and pulling it softly taketh fish good plenty." Princes are great fishes, and must be handled with policy. The King is not to be vexed with the excessive pre-eminence of the Pope's authority. They are to communicate this letter to Tournon and Grammont. P.S.—If the Pope will not devise some means for our satisfaction, you shall say to him that if he will not be guided by the opinions of the learned, and refuse to grant so small a matter affecting the King's rights, no princes of Christendom will tolerate such proceedings ; that as heretofore all matters have been determined in their own realms, to which the only objection is that of the Queen, that the place is not indifferent, it is doubtful how the world will take it. If, you may tell him, you can exercise this jurisdiction over the king of England, all princes will imagine you can exercise it over them, and force them to appear in your courts at your commandment. Therefore it were best you admitted the excusator, and remitted the cause to England ; and if the Queen complains, on making her cause good before three indifferent judges, they shall appoint a place for discussion of the cause. You shall further tell him that you have heard from Flanders that certain writings coming from the Holy See have been sent up in derogation both of the justice and the affection lately showed unto us by his Holiness. We send you a copy, which is not to be shown as coming from us. Copy badly mutilated and gall-stained. The letter is in the hand of Wriothesley, and the P.S. in that of Tuke. Endd. |

195. Bulls From Rome.
