R. O. 		1695. Confession of Tristram Teshe.
Being examined by Mr. Wm. Berker, mayor of York, (fn. 5) by virtue of the King's commission, on a charge of embezzling certain goods of John Pollerde, he declares that in the 18th year of the King, when Mr. Thos. Mayson was mayor, the said John Pollerde being informed against by a servant, as Teshe supposes, was put to much trouble by Mr. Geo. Gaille, then master of the King's mint at York, and Master William Holgill, general surveyor to Thos. late Cardinal and Archbishop, to give sureties of 200l. that he should in his own person make answer to the said lord Cardinal and his Council before a certain day. Teshe was one of his sureties, John Appylyard was another; but Appylyard refused to be bound unless Pollerde obtained other sureties to save him harmless, and Teshe allowed himself to be bound in another obligation of 60l. to Appilyerde. For his security again, Pollerde delivered to Teshe, "a paunte and pledge" in money and plate to the value of 86l. On the expiry of the obligations, as nothing was laid against Pollerde, they were cancelled by Master William Holgill, and delivered up to Teshe, who thereupon returned to Pollerde the said "paunte" and pledge. Denies having received goods of Pollerde otherwise, or having embezzled any. Never knew that Pollerde or his goods were attached. Signed, "Per me Tristamum Teshe," with a flourish between the Christian and surname.

R. O. 		1696. Depredations At Sea.
"1532.Here followeth the confessions of certain Bryttons that were taken and robbed by certain English."
Nic. Barbe of St. Malo's, master of a balinger called the Mychell; Hayman Gollard, owner. This ship was taken on suspicion and robbed by these men following. Five Scots and 9 Bretons were in her. Balingers called the Vallantyn of Kenton, Simon Jeylles master, the Trynyte Prowys of Keynton, Phil. Selby, Master, and one of Plymouth, Thos. Eayr master; with other balingers of the same quarter. "We found this Byrton ship at sea laden with wool, cloth, and salt hides, and came from Whytthorn in Scotland; and also we found her with these English men in her; and the Burtons (Bretons) were put in the English balingers :Richard Brysard of Paynton, being master of the Burton ship; John Kylford of Tormound," and eight other Englishmen named, from "Centon," Plymouth, Dawlish, &c., "being mariners to lead the Byrton ship."
Depositions of Brian Myners, John Barbe, and Pierre Hattyva, of St. Malo's, and of Thos. Moysor, who say the ship was laden at Bordeaux and Nantes, sailed at St. Malo's in the middle of May, and discharged their cargo at Whytthorn. They hailed a great ship off the Lysard, bound for Brassell. The deponents disagree as to whether the Scots in the ship be merchants and have wool on board.

Petition to Cromwell, as one of the King's council, by Walter Basset of St. Andrew's Mylborne, Dorset, carpenter, to have the King's pardon for the death of Sir Will. Browne, vicar of said place, who had been guilty of repeated acts of criminal intercourse with his wife. By the mediation of Sir Roger Banestre, vicar of Hilton, a reconciliation had been effected on Palm Sunday, when Browne took oath in church to give no more offence; but on the Friday after Christmas day (which fell upon a Tuesday (fn. 6) ) he was again found misconducting himself in Basset's house, and a scuffle ensued in which he was killed.

I commend me to you as to my brother unknown in body, but greatly known in spirit by the devout information of my spiritual sister, dampne Eliz, Barton, and cannot but love you fervently, knowing by experience that she neither loyes nor accepts as her familiars any but such as God loves, or at least such as have a great zeal to godliness. I desire you during your life to pray daily for me as I shall for you. I was with my said sister and yours this day se'nnight, when she received letters from you, not with a little gladness. She was then in health of body, thank God. I intend to be with her again this day three weeks, and so to be monthly, so long as God shall please. I promise you, I think every day a year till the month days; "and that day of her presence (alack for pity) is no day, ne worthy to be called an hour; but I would that day were turned to so many years as God will that I shall continue here in this present life." Commend me to father Risbey and the confessor and the abbess.
"Salutes Risbeum et confessorem et abatissam cum dominis (?)"
Commend me to father Risbey, my lady prioress and others. I have sent you a piece of figs "de orto" (horto), and another of "reassinge of the sone." You can send me no better token than a word of your handwriting. My servant will wait your pleasure. Show nothing to him of the contents of my letters.

II. [Gold?] to [Eliz. Barton.]
"My lover, my sister, my earthly comfort." Mr. White, my special friend and yours, was suddenly attacked with his disease last night, and sent for me about midnight. I continued with him all night. His disease is very strange. It took him in the fingers' end of his left hand in his sleep; "wherewith he waked, and was forthwith deadly sick at the heart by the space of a quarter of an hour, like as he should have swooned. He had it before Christmas, and then it did hold him by the space of an hour, more grievous than now. He cannot think what it should be, whether it be a natural (?) as a beginning of the palsey or of the gout, or else a plague of God. Therefore he desireth you, for the love of God, to make meekly petition to God for the knowledge hereof." He was confessed this night, and this morning received the sacrament. He has sent you now other 4 nobles. I pray you to write exhorting him to joy in visitations of God. Of the 4 nobles you sent before, I showed him that you had bestowed 20s. in charitable deeds while I was with you, and kept but 6s. 8d. to yourself. He said he meant you should have had it all if it had been your pleasure, and this also. I hear you have been with Our Lady of Cortopstrete since I was with you. "I trust ye have then heard news. If I may not now be partaker of them in writing, I trust in God to be with you this day three weeks." If you have any knowledge of my brother's petitions, or my lady of Sion's, or of mine, I pray you write to me. I dined this day with Mr. Wele and his wife. "Ye be entirely commended from them." Your sister is well. Mr. Deryng sent special word to her to be acquainted with me, and I have written to him this day as to my loving friend because he is yours. "Dr. Cranmer, Mr. Longforthe, atque ..."

He must not think him ungrateful for not having written. Much time has passed without advantage to them in this matter (absque nostro in hac parte fructu). Their friendship is too ardent to be injured by such a trifle. "Quid ... tum ex hac re prospectum habere potes qu me nune ad scribendum impulit." A report had for some time prevailed in college (apud nos) that you, unlike your former self, had abandoned learning for pleasure. The writer's affection for him, however, prompted him to admonish him not to disappoint the expectations that had been formed of him, but act in a way worthy of his abilities.

R. O. 		1702. Calais.
"A resolution and determination taken by the King's Highness and his Council upon such requests as were made unto his Grace by the deputies, officers, and soldiers of the town and marches of Calais."
1. Although the King, "upon a notable ground and evident matter greatly charging the council, officers, and rulers of the said town," has by proclamation restrained the free access of victuallers out of England to Calais, allowing none to pass without special licence, yet, in consideration for the inhabitants, who are not to blame, he has devised with his council how to enlarge this restraint for the weal of the town, restricting at the same time the liberty of the heads and rulers; viz., the proclamation is to be revoked, but the deputy and other officers are to be bound in recognisances not to allow victuals to be conveyed through Calais to the dominions of other princes, beyond the value of 5s. at a time; so that if there be a superfluity of victuals in Calais they shall be returned to England. 2. But as the garner of the town should be always furnished with 1,000 qrs. of corn, which, owing to the moistness of the air, cannot be kept without changing, the deputy and five of the council may license its exportation to prevent loss (provided not more than 200 qrs. a year be exported), they standing bound to the King in 100l. not to abuse the liberty. 3. Merchandise of all kinds from other countries may be freely exported, but in case of any scarcity of victuals the deputy and council with the mayor and aldermen of the town shall command under a penalty every inhabitant to supply himself by a certain day with victuals sufficient for him and his household for such time as shall be thought advisable. Also the King is content that a provision may be had to avoid strangers out of the town, except certain necessary persons to be appointed by the King, and none henceforth to be sworn English before the mayor by the deputy's warrant without a patent from the King. 4. The officers of Calais and Guisnes shall compel the inhabitants to learn and speak English for their common speech, binding fathers and mothers for their children, and masters for their servants, to teach the language, and suffer them to speak no other.

R. O. 		1703. Calais.
Remonstrance of the council of Calais touching a book of articles sent them by the King and his Council in answer to such requests as the council of Calais made to the King at his last being here :
1. They thank the King for revoking the restraint of victuals made in England, and restoring to Calais the liberty of conveying provisions thither; but beg that the deputy and head officers here be not bound by recognizance to prevent victual brought from England being conveyed to other countries. This rule could only be enforced by stopping the transit of all commodities; and if the Picards, who bring cart-loads of flesh and other victuals to market twice a week, were not allowed to take back beer brewed in Calais, they would cease to come. Merchants also victual their ships here. Think it should be sufficient for the King to give plain instructions to the deputy, to be obeyed under penalty of his displeasure. When there is more than enough at Calais, it should be sufficient for the deputy to bind himself by promise not to grant any licence to convey it elsewhere than to England. 2. The wardens of the garner of Calais demur to the regulation against uttering any of the corn of the garner into strange parts, as contrary to their indenture. 3. The council thank the King for the article about free export of merchandise brought from other countries. Any restraint made by the council has always been to secure a sufficient supply to every man for his own house. 4. Think the provision for avoiding strangers very good, but difficulties may arise from marriages between English persons and strangers, and the children claiming to be English. 5. Approve of the article for compelling the inhabitants to learn and speak English; but there may be difficulty in bringing it about. Think the benefices, of which a list, hereto annexed, has been delivered to them by the commissary, should be given to Englishmen only, that there should be no preaching except in English, and that the schools should be kept by them entirely.
ii. "New additions."
They recommend further :1, a reformation of the usage by which the constable of the Rysbank and other officers, on the arrival of a merchant ship, claim to fill their bottles or flagons, some of them of an unreasonable size, with wine out of the cargo; 2, a restraint on the exportation of wood from England, except to or through Calais; 3, that when free exportation of corn is allowed from England, it shall go by or to Calais only, by which the King will have three customs instead of one, and the decay of the town, which the King and many of the nobles saw when they were here, will be arrested; 4, a reformation of tolls, which discourage the resort of victuallers to the town; 5, that currency be given to foreign silver, as there is no white money here but groats, half groats, and pence; and the victuallers, some of whom come five or six miles to this market, have this money taken from them by the searchers on their return; 6, that the wages of the retinue be paid regularly on the 6th of April and October, and after the old rate, for in this October payment they have lost a penny in every crown; 7, that orders be given to customers in England, in pursuance of the King's pleasure, to restore their former liberty of conveying victuals.

R. O. 		1704. [The Deputy and Council Of Calais to Henry VIII.]
Have received the King's letter, dated Greenwich, 27 Dec., containing two articles :(1) concerning the sums of money advanced by the King for making provision against his coming; and (2) that wools, felts, and other merchandise belonging to the Staple shall not be dispatched hence till they know his pleasure. As to the first, there appears some difficulty how it may be observed without detriment to them, who bound themselves to the King, rather that provisions might be made in time, than for any reasonable cause why they should be bound. Hope, however, that no fault will be found in them, though it is to their pain. As to the second, have taken such orders as will not fail to "quadre" with the King's commandment.
Reply at length to the articles mentioned in the previous paper, and to the same effect, though using different arguments in some places. In the "new additions" it is mentioned that last summer there were 200 or 300 sail of Normans and Bretons at Tynemouth haven for coal. Suggest the withdrawal of the Deputy's power to grant licence for marriages between English and strangers.

R. O. 		1708. George Hasell.
Reasons of dissent given against the finding of a quest by Richard Sexton, the foreman, Robt. Garnysh, and John Saxbye, who produce evidences to show that Geo. Hasell was not born "in this town (Calais) or in the King's dominions." Old Father Thos. Redyng says precisely, that he was not born here. Wm. Yong was openly and shamefully disbarred by the King, and everything whereto his hand or consent was, disallowed. Orders were given that all books in his hand should be brought in by a certain day, so that it lieth with my Lord (fn. 11) and the Council to punish the detainer of this book. Sampson Norton proved that Hasell was born in Sperleyne, in Flanders, of which his father was bailiff. This is confirmed by the chief lord of that country, and the mayor of St. Omers. Norton swore that it was true before the mayor, and so did the chief part of this inquest. John Henbury deposes that Hasell, "after that he was a stranger enoysyd by certain old widows here," promised Henbury 20l. for letters of denization, which Dr. Knyght asserts that Henbury endeavoured to obtain. The brygenden-maker's wife affirms that he was born at St. Omer's. John Laurence went to Sperleque, and obtained depositions on March 3, 1531, from Jas. Colin, Guilbert le Griet, John le Hortre, brewer, and Bertin le Flemencque, concerning his birth. For these reasons we will not give credence to this book, "but submit them and their works to your discretions."
His lands are forfeited in either case, since he left them to his wife, a stranger.

"Articles made and devised on the behalf of our most dread sovereign lord the King, touching his revenues, to be put in execution for the profit of his most royal estate, according as it appertaineth unto the office of his surveyors general, and by them to be certified unto his Highness."
1. What lands and other hereditaments have been purchased or otherwise come to his Highness since the beginning of his reign.
2. What lands have been parted with by exchange or otherwise.
3. What possessions and revenues remain in the King's hands answerable before the general surveyors.
4. In what counties the King's castles, lands, &c. are situate, and their condition.
5. The ruin and waste of the said castles, &c., since the beginning of the reign.
6. What money has accrued to the King by the sale of lead, timber, stone, or other stuff.
7. The names of the honors, castles, &c., which have been surveyed by the general surveyors, and rentals, terriers, or extents made thereof.
8. What honors, &c., have been let on lease by the surveyors, so that the King now has only the rent, instead of both certainties and casualties as before.
9. The yearly value of the increase of rent of such honors, &c.
10. What fines have been paid for them. In the West country the fines and other casualties are very great, as the lands are taken for term of life.
11. What reversions have been granted, and by what authority. It is thought that honors, manors, and lordships, let wholly with the rents and other profits, may fall into decay, and exactions be put upon the tenants, the farmers in such cases being commonly their own judges, and the keeping of courts and other necessary things disused.
12. To certify the last view of forests, parks, and chaces, with the present quantity of game, and condition of the fencing. 13. The waters belonging to the King, both common and several, and how the fishings and sewers are maintained."Nostre Dame de Boulogne." 14. What woods and underwoods have been sold by the surveyors, besides those sold by the justice of the forests, or the masters of the wood-sales.
15. What arrears are unpaid by receivers, bailiffs, &c.
16. What profit has grown to the King by recognizances or bonds taken before the general surveyors.

Sir John Heron to have been cancelled, and no mention of him in his last book ... part of them were for exercising of offices, and other conditions, as appearance and oth[er] ... otherwise to be discharged, and those which had any likelihood to be good were put [in suit] by Sir Henry Wyat, and also by me, and be yet in the King's attorney's hands in suit ... to many of them, and other insufficient, and divers of them new boundes be p[romised] and yet the old obligations remaining, showing in the books a visage of both debts." (Some of these be leviable.) The countess of Salisbury, which the King commanded to respite when it was in suit, ijmcccxx. (Good debt.) Averay Rawson, for which Sir Ant. Poyntz was bound, 1,550l. (Young Poyntz offers 200 mks. at days, and the prior of Kilmaynam is bound for 150l., not yet due. The rest is little worth.) Edw. late duke of Buckingham owed great sums, for part of which other lords and gentlemen were bound, and for part lands were recovered, whereof part are in the King's hand, and the rest given away. (500 mks. was a debt due to the duke of Norfolk, parcel of his marriage money, a[nd was] consigned over to the King, and for that [my] lord of Sussex and the lord Berners are bound; and 1,000l. was in king Henry VII.'s time, and for that Sir Thos. Wodhouse, his chancellor, was bound; and for 1,650l. lands were recovered.) John Keme, Geo. Medley, Ric. Reynoldes, Robt. Palmar, and Fras. Baldewyn are somewhat behind of 5,000 mks. due 1528, and shall owe 5,000 mks. more at March 1535. (This debt was 10,000l., for 5,000l. delivered in naughty obligations, and 5,000l. in money, and the King hath been paid almost 10,000 mks., with respite that is given.

Cornewale, by statute and other obligations, 286l. 13s. 4d. His lands be aliable hereunto.) Lewes Harpisfelde, 7,080l. (For much of this new obligations be taken of Champneys and other, the rest is desperate; and of this sum much is double obligations for one debt.) The earl of Derby, deceased, a bill of his debt is given to my lord Norwich. (Good debt.) The old lord Dudley, 292l. 5s. 8d. (Good debt.) Barnarde Salviati, 812l. (Not totally desperate.)

Would be sorry the King should hear of his demeanour, and urges him to send up the masons at once.

"And now the King's officers calleth for rent, and necessity hath made Our Lady Day come 12 months before Michaelmas, and creditors be importune, which must needs be paid or staid."

I am willing to accomplish your desires; yet, all things considered, it stands neither with justice nor equity in this case, being a dispute between party and party for perambulation of limits. Specifies his reasons. Gives an account of the commission issued for hearing the cause, to which the earl of Oxford and young Compton were parties, and after various delays were now to have come to a settlement. It seems to me, therefore, "very sore" to grant a supersedeas. I do not write this from favor to any one, nor could I be induced to do anything by which the King should be wronged. But I write this to you both, that we may run by a just line to the King's honor and profit. I write this, as I perceive by your letters that you suspect me of partiality, and that the person who came to me for the supersedeas went away disappointed. Excuses himself upon that head, and informs them what further steps should be taken. Saturday morning, at Hoxon. Signed : Thomas Audeley, k., custos sigilli.

Thanks him for his comfortable words. Begs he will move the King to receive his poor request. The late Lord, my father, (fn. 18) left me in debt for him, myself being indebted in his lifetime. To keep myself from prison I was constrained to make shift with such lands as he left me in fee, of which I made a bargain with Sir John Dudley for 2,000l., but never had from him or his assigns more than 1,400l.; for which I am bound to pay Sir John Dudley, every 12th May, 400l., until the 2,000l. is paid. I am also bound to him in the forfeiture of all my lands to the sum of 6,000l., according to certain covenants, to the undoing of me and my family. I am also bound in certain obligations to Sir John Alen for the manors of Swynford and Hembley. I therefore beg you to ask the King to take into his hands my lordship of Segeley, of the yearly value of 180l., and to discharge me anent Dudley and Alen of the 2,200l.; the King to have this lordship for 20 years after the decease of my mother, who is 86 years old. For your pains in this I will give you 10l. a year for life, to buy a tun or two of wine for your household. I would have gladly come to you, but that Sir John Dudley lays wait for me in the city of London to keep me afore the days of payment. Signed.

R. O. 		1728. Erasmus Forde to Mr. Stedalff.
I write to you as one of the King's Commissioners of Sewers, against the extreme handling of divers poor men. Mr. Cromwell, one of the King's council, came to Southwark, and brought with him the King's commission concerning the statute of sewers, and called before him Mr. Skote, and gave us our charge, commanding us to act indifferently, both in reference to the King and the meanest men. We have found the King's weirs unlawful, and common purprestures to his own stream, and we have done the same to all others without malice. Such as we have set to examine the weirs have been arrested, and we could scarcely bail them; and I am informed by the curate of our church that some are sued in Westminster Hall, as the master of St. Thomas' Spittal told him, for unlawful fishing in the Thames. Mr. Welles of Kingston was like to be indicted at Croydon for presenting a "steyre" that one Dean of Kingston, taker of timber and board for Hampton Court, has made and encroached on the Thames above all others; and, to fear us, he says we be false harlots, and will bring the King himself to see it. He came to my house, called Norbeton Hall, "and like an Hemprour enters into my ground, bordered about with elms, the chief pleasure of all my house, unknowledging to his master, the surveyor of Hampton Court," and has dug up by the roots 35 of my purest and fairest elms. I am a poor man, "and would rather 'a geve 35 nobles, to have borrowed it of 35 men, and, if I were rich, rather to have lost 35l." If I am to be handled in this way, I had liever forsake the country than be thus shamed for doing the King's work. I am sick of an ague, and not strong enough to sue to Mr. Cromwell. Dytton.

With contrite heart desiring your favor. I trust to be one of the penitents St. Austin mentions, looking for grace at your hands, and desiring you to spare me within Christchurch, till Saturday or Monday next at the furthest, five or six days' meat and drink at my last cast. I cannot provide a house to go to till that time, as yet I have not my pension. I desire you will discharge me of the quit-rent "and the bocher," for which neither I nor my sureties dare go into the city, or I would have visited you. I trust you will not see me lie in prison for the debts of the house, for. if so. I must die there. I pray I may have a discharge and not be arrested when I have resigned; also that I may have honest bedding, my chaplain and two servants, considering the room that I have outwardly kept, not regarding my person and lewdness.

R. O. 		1732. Nicholas Hancok to Cromwell.
When I left you at Westminster Bridge I desired you to discharge me of the debts of the house, as conscience would, especially for the butcher, the quit-rent, and Miles Cocker, carpenter. It is now grown to 11l., and attachments are out against me for the payment. I have sold all that I have, and do now beg and borrow. None will lend, as I have given up my room and house, and they bade me sue to the doers thereof. The matter may be easy, if you allow the lease made to John Jonson of the tenement now occupied by Miles Coker. 14 or 15 have set to their hands, saying the lease is good. As I said, if you will discharge me of the said three debts, I would profit triple the same. You bade me put that to light, and I should profit thereby. I have therefore sent you two obligations and one acquittance of Milles, sanctuary man of Westminster, until I can see you, though that is uncertain, and I dare not go abroad. If not, I must go into sanctuary, which shall be no honor or pleasure to you. When I gave up my house, I little thought to be thus handled.
If I had been false, the three writings might have done harm. I can say more than all the other dissimulers, as you shall find.

I have sent you three writings concerning the business between Christchurch and Milles, sanctuary man. I sent also four "a-late." One was the obligation of Ric. Gray for performing the indenture of Bexley, for which he owes 6l. 3s. 4d. for the half year's rent due Midsummer last; also 23s. 4d. due at Christmas last, as the sub-prior says. I am willing to declare anything else you desire. I ask to be discharged of three attachments out against me, in Essex, Midd., and London, for the 11l. decreed against me in Chancery, as you would not allow the lease made to John Jonson, granted under his seal to Miles the carpenter, to stand good. I am not able to pay it. For that, and the butcher's debt, and the quit-rent, I have sold and spent all that I have.
I am ready to resign my raiment, bedding, and chamber, or else I must purchase sanctuary.

That done, I will do that which shall be as beneficial to the house as double the debt. Touching any sale of lease, I have made none, although words were spoken to me to that effect.

Has had more comfort from Cromwell of late than for a long time before; yet all his friends turn from him, and make slanderous reports of him, saying he reckoned on good profit and quietness in giving up his house. "And as yet the contrary I find, and so shall continue," unless the King set him clear by granting him the petitions which Sir John Allen and Mr. Gybson, serjeant-at-arms, know of. These two have befriended him much without promise of reward. Will fulfil whatever he promises to do. Desires to be set on foot again, and be his own man, when he hopes to use himself to the honor of God and comfort of his mastership. A vicarage called Lyd, now void, is in the King's gift by the death of the bishop of Canterbury, which, with the priory of Bylsyngton, will set him up.
P.S.If the King will grant him the priory and vicarage by patent for life, will act so that Cromwell shall say he has deserved them. Implores Cromwell's help now, else he is undone.

I am in the greatest anguish of heart. Our father minister is very unkind to me, and has put me out of office, and he boasts he will obtain your authority to put me in prison. My offence is that I wrote to him from the chapter, desiring him to be so faithful to you, according to the confidence you had in him, and exhorted him to the same by mouth. He has answered, "Wilt thou supplant me under the King's feet? I will not obey the King, but the religion." Since then he never spake merrily to me, and intends to complain of me to you. If so, I beg he may be examined as to the particulars, and then his charges will be found to be without foundation. He is greatly altered since our chapter, and is not the man you took him for. You might think I spoke from affection if I entered into particulars. Let me be set to answer him face to face, when I will prove what I say.

"Gentle Mr. Cromwell, where ye write to me ye would I should remember my wife, would to God she would remember her own honesty, and leaving walking and idleness in London, of herself specially and four persons which she keepeth there doing nothing but attendant upon her." Will not drudge and drivel to keep her and four persons idle, not even delving in the garden. Means to keep himself out of debt so as to serve the King and make his due accounts once a year. The present time is "marvellous chargeable" to him, notwithstanding the allowance obtained from the King by Cromwell's help; and it would be better for his wife to break up her house, and take either one man or one maid with her, and board in some honest house. Has written, out of regard to Cromwell, to John Raven, to give him 5l. for her, for her charges till Michaelmas next. Hope to see him before then, and arrange for a divorce or separation, which she has long wished for "in our old days." Wonders she is so crying for money, when she had so much at divers times out of his counting-house.

In answer to a letter of Cromwell's about his wife. Has always studied that they should live together without debt, "after the compass of that thing that God has sent me;" but she has been extravagant, and, notwithstanding "the great lack of my former living taken from me by Sir Thomas Clifford," she has not abated her expences. Would rather die than not fulfil his duty to the King "as his Majesty hath called me unto, of his goodness and not of my merit." Was nearly brought to extreme poverty last year, which would have been imputed to himself by Cromwell and others not knowing the truth. She keeps at London two men and two women, whose charges he cannot sustain. Offered to pay her charges if she would break up her household and go to board. As to faults to be found on both sides, is willing that the truth should be tried. Has written to John Raven to give Cromwell 40s. or 4 marks for her. On his coming will be ordered as Cromwell and other friends think best. Begs him to read this schedule to his wife, and burn it.

Begs him not to regard her husband's message by Mr. Gorstwycke, which was a thing surmised only to excuse himself, and deprive her of pity. Would have waited on him herself, but is ill at ease, and ashamed lest Cromwell think her guilty in any such causes, which she is not. Desires to know his pleasure by Peter or Williamson, and will make her husband such account of the money at his coming that he shall think it well bestowed.

Complains that he is in the greatest distress because, when they had thought themselves happy in the peaceful condition of their monastery and entirely devoted to religion, their whole house was suppressed. Is very unfortunate, as he is one of the last admitted and dedicated to God; and now, after his religious training, is an entire outcast, and meets no respect from men. Has visited various religious houses and congregations, begging to be received among them, but without any success. Will be entirely lost, except "tua gravitas" has compassion upon him.

We beg your favor for the abbot of Malmesbury for such payments to the King as he is behindhand for his temporalities. His predecessor left him little ready money. During the vacancy, part of the plate and much of the goods of the house were embezzled. It is sore decayed, and he must maintain it, or his friends would be blamed for his promotion. Considering these things, the subsidy and other charges, he can make no great payment at present. Signed.

Whereas the King gave Mr. Nedam (fn. 21) the clerkship of his works, and at the request of my friend Mr. Flower his predecessor, Nedam promised I should have the engrossing of his books concerning the same office; trusting to his promise, I forsook divers worshipful men's service. I now understand that, at your request, he has given the said office to another. If you and Nedam knew my doings you would be content that I should enjoy it, as I have been well broken in the engrossing of books, and know very well the cast thereof, as Masters Draper, Beydill, and Hallyghly can tell.

R. O. 		1775. to [Cromwell].
The horse was stolen last February. The thief was Robt. Keyl, now imprisoned at "Gnugat" (Newgate), who has confessed the robbery before Alderman Alyn, and that he had sold the horse and trappings to Thos. Sacford for 7 nobles. On which the Alderman wrote to Sacford, warning him to deliver up the horse and trappings; and the Ambassador sent a messenger, who spent, in the seven days he was away, about 3 nobles (et spese in circa sette giorni che fu fora nobeli appresso tre). The Ambassador then sent Sacford the 7 nobles, to avoid the trouble of prosecution; but he refused to return the horse, but wrote to the Alderman, confessing, as will be seen by the copy of his letter, that he had bought the animal for 7 nobles, and had the trappings, but that he had sold the former for 15; which gives reason to suspect that he is an accomplice in the thefts. The Ambassador, therefore, begs you not to be any longer deceived, as he has shown all possible gentleness, and desires to have his horse back again, with the trappings, which are of black velvet and gilt.

R. O. 		1788. All Hallows, Lombard Street.
Petition of the parishioners of All Hallows, Lumbert Strete, London, addressed to Cromwell as "one of the King's Council," complaining of a bull procured from the Court of Rome in A.D. 1453, confirming a constitution of the bishop of London for offerings upon holidays, amounting to 14d. on every noble; whereas previously the citizens paid only 12d. on every 10s. rent to the curates or parsons of their parish churches. This imposition the inhabitants of the City paid under compulsion, but those of the suburbs have successfully resisted it to this day. House property now fetches double the rent it did when the bull was obtained, and there has been much more building within the City, especially in the parish of All Hallows, Lombard Street, "to the sum of 40l. or near thereupon," besides the increase of rents. "Also the said parsons and curates keep none hospitality, and be not resident;" and they put the bull in execution with great rigor, "being therein both judges and parties." This bull was procured without licence of the King or his progenitors, and the petitioners dare not obey it for fear of incurring the danger of prmunire. Also the parsons of some churches in the City, viz., St. Magnus, St. Leonard's Eastcheap, St. Benet Graschurche, and others, have of late sued their parishioners for tithes on the strength of the said bull, but, fearing the consequences to themselves of putting it into execution, have ceased their suits, and agreed to receive 12d. on every 10s. rent.

Footnotes

  • 1. A modern endorsement says 25 Hen. VIII.; but as Sir Thomas Audeley is mentioned as keeper of the Great Seal and not as Lord Chancellor, it certainly cannot be later than January 1533, whereas the 25th year of the reign began in April 1533.
  • 2. This name is added in another hand.
  • 3. These three names are added in Cromwell's hand.
  • 4. These names are struck out.
  • 5. He was mayor of York in 1532. See Drake's Eboracum, 364.
  • 6. Christmas Day did not fall upon a Tuesday in any year between 1526 and 1537, but the date of this document must lie between 1531 and 1533, when Cromwell was addressed as one of the King's council. Christmas Day was a Monday in 1531, and a Wednesday in 1532.
  • 7. This letter is certainly some years earlier than 1532. Probably it is of the year 1527 or 1528. Gold was instituted to the rectory of St. Mary Aldermary on the 10th Dec. 1526.
  • 8. The last clause is added in a different hand, and very faint.

  • 10. This title is written in Cromwell's hand on the fly leaf.

  • 12. These are marked in the margin as paid.
  • 13. The date of this document is uncertain. It is placed here, at the period when Cromwell was master of the Jewel-house, and was endeavouring to introduce reforms into the office, or at least to ascertain the number and extent of the Crown jewels, when documents of this nature would either be prepared from earlier memoranda, or else be copied for his use.
