October 1549

1549. Oct. 8.
London.		 174. The Council to the Lord Deputy of Calais. By the proclamations inclosed, he will perceive the state of things here, which by the detestable treasons and manifold outrageous doings of the Duke of Somerset, be now more unquiet than they should have been if he had either loved his Majesty or his country. Farther particulars shall be given soon. Meanwhile, as the King is in danger, all the Council, with one or two exceptions, are in London consulting what is best to be done. Because the Duke has and daily does abuse his Majesty's sign, stamp, and signet, in many things, desire that no commands shall be obeyed except such as bear the signatures of the whole or the majority of the Council.
