	The Pope has determined to make a dozen cardinals in these Ember Days before Christmas, so that if he die there might be a pope as bad as himself. To oppose this and get a General Council convoked this King has sent into Italy and expects the Emperor to do the like, to whom I have written at length on the King's behalf. The five cardinals who are at Pavia make means for the like and have sent a messenger to the Emperor, and to the King of France another who arrived with the King to-day, and goes on to you and then into England with the same object.

	Begs the Pope will reserve to John Dinguel, clerk, of Murray, the King's assiduous attendant, the benefices in Scotland falling void singly in any one month (beneficia singula singulariter, etiam reservata specialiter seu affecta, extra tamen Romanam Curiam, quovis mense primo vacalura, sub Irrilanti decreto et antelationis prærogativa, etc., viz. legal verbiage to forbid power of recal by the Roman Chancery) in the gift of archbishops, bishops or other patrons, even of the Cistercian Order.

	Requests him to procure a dispensation for Robert Bertoun and Elizabeth Craufurde, who have contracted matrimony, notwithstanding that Gilbert Edmonstoun, former husband of the said Elizabeth, stood godfather to Bertoun's children by his former wife Elizabeth Jamesoun, and that the same Elizabeth wife of Bertoun stood godmother to the children of Gilbert and his wife Elizabeth.

Adv. MS., 292.	656. [JAMES IV. to PUTEOLANUS.]
	Is to learn from the Card. of St. Mark whether the Cistercian abbey of Glenlus, dioc. Galloway, has been resigned in his favour, which Robert the present abbot, notwithstanding the King's letters, is seeking to obtain in commendam along with Melrose; "sed dimittere eandem reverendissimo domino de mandato nostro nobis addixit." Wonders the Card. has not mentioned it in his letters. Thinks the abbot would not have disobeyed. Does not offer so poor a gift to the Protector as a reward, but as a souvenir. Is to commend to the Cardinal's attention the jurisdiction of St. Andrew's and the rights of the Chapel Royal.

R. MS. 13 B. II., 52. (No. 134.) B.M. Ep. Reg. Scot., I. 115.	657. [1407.] JAMES IV. to LOUIS XII.
	Of the two ambassadors sent by France, the one, related to James by blood, is dead (fn. 6), the other was so overcome with grief that there were fears for his life; this has prevented him from returning till now. He is not yet quite restored. The ambassador, on his first coming, delivered Louis' letters, and urged the ancient league between France and Scotland. The archdeacon of St. Andrew's, on his return from France, and John Sellat, "quem diximus legatum et consiliarium vestrum," confirmed Louis' good will, which James reciprocates. Desires credence for the ambassador.

	Urges him to write to the Pope, as the writer has done, in behalf of Jerome Friscobaldi, a Florentine merchant, in favour with princes for his probity, now residing at Bruges, in your earldom of Flanders. Friscobaldi has fallen under the Pope's displeasure from some calumny.

Sends at the same time ambassadors to settle the matter, as Quhit will inform them.

R. MS. 13 B.II.,54. (No. 141.) B.M.	662. [1412.] [PATRICK] PANITER to the SENATE OF MIDDLEBURGH.
	Has reported to the King the matters of which they and Augustine had apprised him by their letters. The adverse party is urgent, and hopes to gain his end by favour of the multitude, "et antiqua necessitudine sperans; quinetiam transmissis articulis abunde concedens promissis certat amplissimis." The Senate must fall to acts, not words, and proceed in a way which shall be honorable to both. James Mercheinstoun will explain, who supports their cause to the best of his power. Paniter is as zealous as though he were their townsman.

R. MS. 13 B. II., 54b. (No. 143.) B.M.	663. [1414.] SECRETARY PANITER to AUGUSTINUS CAMYNADUS.
	Augustine laments his ill fortune, and hates his native Scotland. His enemy boasts that, as soon as he made his appearance, Augustine was driven from Court, "ac triennium supra vota impensum"; the rest of that sort have grown so shameless as to be unworthy of answer. "Orationem ipse dijudica, qui et propius astiteras et quanti fecerim exultans audieras." Augustine must not be impatient at having returned a second time to no purpose; his aims are lofty. The matter remains as before; it will probably be decided in favor of their friend the merchant (in eam partem futura ubi noster steterit mercator). The city will do wrong if it throws the blame on Augustine, and prove very ungrateful. (fn. 7)

	Is gratified by his letters stating that he keeps his rare books of alchemy, "sanioris philosophiæ," for the King's use, though he has been much asked for them, as he knows that the King is much given to the study of that art. Sends James Merchenistoun to receive the books. Edinburgh.
