Calig. B. II., 285. B.M.
2423. RUTHAL to HENRY VIII.
Has written several times to Dacre to make inroads into Scotland; who is not inclined to do so on the East Marches, distrusting the people of this March as bearing him little favour. Encloses his letters. If the Queen and Council of Scotland, after Friar Longley's interview, still lean to France, it will be necessary to have some good captain on the Borders. Aukland, 1 Nov., 6 a.m.

2424. [3495.] ERASMUS to COLET.
Is glad to find quiet restored. Cannot think what the suffragan means when he knew these exactions were declared at the time he undertook the pension (onus pensionis) and there was no mention of sharing the tithes (fn. 1). Excuses himself for having again left London without paying his compliments to Colet, and confesses his impatience. Was told by William that Colet was busy writing. Was so afraid of the plague that he did not enter his own lodgings. Packed up his books alone, and entrusted the bundles to Jodocus. Received Oct. 31st, Colet's letter dated the 7th. If Matthew is not with him, he is with the Bp. of Rochester. As all were fleeing, he has gone into the country, but will probably be driven back to Cambridge from want of wine. Is glad that Colet has returned to the labours of preaching; the brief cessation may have been for the best as increasing the desire to hear him. Cambridge, kl. Nov. 1507.

9 Nov. 1513.—He must congratulate the King on his safe return and keep him well disposed to the Signory; writing constantly by way of Rome. Outrages by the Imperialists and Spaniards, who at the beginning of last month moved from the Vicentino into the Padovano and Mestrino; and rout of the Venetians by them. But Renzo da Ceri, on 2 Nov., captured Cesare Fieramosca, chief of the Spaniards, and many prisoners, besides booty, in Calcina.

Madrid MS 2436. HENRY VIII. to LEO X.
Wrote before of his intended return to England and writes now that he has safely arrived. As to the Pope's admonition not to be elated by victory and to make peace—attributes victory to God. For two years strove to keep peace with Scotland; but French promises induced the Scots to war, and although they have lost their King and most of their noblemen, and all their engines of war, they have made no offer of peace. A premature peace may be a source of war. Credence for the Cardinal of York and Bishop of Worcester, his ambassadors, as to the Pope's intention of sending a legate.
