| I delayed the delivery of your letter to Dr. Feley until the 25th,
because I found him somewhat conformable to preach against the usurped
power of the bishop of Rome, "and also to preach with the marriage," both
of which are very necessary in this corner of the diocese of Lincoln, where
there are very few preachers. He will obey your command, so it be not
contrary to Christ. He has asked me to write in his behalf to you. Soumersham, 26 Jan. Signed. |

| On Saturday last I was informed by Mr. Danaster that he had received
a special commission for a special gaol delivery to be held in Southwark this
Tuesday, where he desired me to be. It has unfortunately happened that I
am ill of a "murre and rume" fallen into my breast. The waters are so
high that no one can pass except by boats. I have appointed the attainted
men to be with you this day, trusting their pardon will be signed, as they
bring their money, else my credit will be smally regarded in the country.
It was promised them on my fidelity in their first payment that they should
pay no more until their pardon was signed, and that their payment should
be at Leatherhead, as before, to avoid charges in coming to London. If I
might have had their pardons I would have received their money, and have
paid it to Mr. Body. I am informed that Mrs. Reed is now at London, and
intends, with her counsel, to speak to you, to know how she shall be ordered
in the causes between you and her concerning her jointure of the lands given
her by her late husband, Will. Reed. She has no right to the lands that
were Sir Bartholomew Reed's, but only certain copyhold lands in Weybridge
and Pyrforde. She has received her last halfyear's rents in full in Surrey and
the West country, and has made no reparations. The tenants have come to
me about it, but I am mute, for she takes me for a great enemy, and has
complained of me to honorable men, by herself or her eldest brother. I have
told her I have not hanged upon any man's sleeve these six years except
yours. Ham Court, Tuesday. |

my suit. Hitherto I have trusted to the promises made by you to me and
my friends. Let me know what I shall have, or help me to some reasonable
living. "I have but senglye provyded for myself to maynteyne it with all,

Admiral's secretary, now in England, to desire his master to pay it on his
return; otherwise I must come back penniless. They say here the King
our master is raising 50 men-of-arms. I think I am more able for this

Francis I. |
| After saluting the King he shall say that James has heard from his
ambassadors that Lady Magdalene is unfit for marriage, and, though the
divine will must be borne, he is much grieved. Touching the eldest
daughter of the duke of Vendôme,—on the return of the Scotch ambassadors, Nicolas Canivet, Albany's secretary, proposed a marriage with her
in Francis' name, but, as he had no letters to show, James could give him
no answer. Now, however, having seen the letters and instructions committed to Gerard Vyon and Canyvet, James thanks Francis for his offer, but
as the contract with the French princess was made with the advice of the
three Estates of the kingdom, he cannot relinquish her and turn to another
without consultation with them. His ancestors have never been accustomed
to contract marriage without the consent and authority of the Estates. Has
therefore determined to summon a parliament, and will send word of its
decision. Albany will inform Francis of James' wishes about a meeting
and visit to France. Edinburgh, 27 Jan., "anno [ut supra]." |

have spared time to write to me also, especially as I have twice written to
you without receiving an answer. Messer Michele (fn. 3) has greeted me on your
behalf, and Messer Edmondo has entrusted your books to me. I wish your
directions what to do, as I fear there will be much disturbance this
summer. If you wish your books sent to England I will endeavor to get
them conveyed safely. There is no want of anything in Italy but money.
In Venice everything is dear, as usual. It is expected the French king

he is informed the King will not cross. As Henry Cornelis is going to
Calais, there is no need to deliver the letter. Cheriton is with you. Gwydot
is not here. If he come, will be in hand with him for your muscatel and
malvesy. The Commission of Sewers is ready. Mr. Fowler will have to
take the oaths of the other commissioners. Mr. Secretary will send 40 marks
for Hacket's funeral; but I have seen him divers times, and he has not paid
it. Can get no answer from him touching the toll of Mark and Oye.
Mr. Rockewod promised me for my service 20 nobles, but I shall not stay

Your dog may be well spared, for I am told her Grace makes not much of
them. I doubt that the broderer will be reasonable about the frontlets, but
you have not written if you have received the same, or answered my bill of
prices of grocery I hope to write in my next what end Mr. Secretary
makes in my Lord's matter with Sir Edward Seymour. It rests entirely
with him to show his friendship. I am sorry you have been so disquieted
at the beginning of the year. My Lord will never get 500l., Calais
money, by the three persons you write of. Some things now colored
will at length be plainly set out. I hope to get you both an ancient gentlewoman and a good tailor. Mr. Bassett came hither on the 26th, and will
remain till the morrow of Candlemas day, when he will enter his chamber
at Lincoln's Inn. I have spoken with Mr. Holleys this day, but Mr. Lane
is not yet come. I have no doubt he will be well pleased to have the young
gentleman in his company, who, I assure you, is both gentle, sober and wise.
Mr. Syllyard will see to him in Mr. Lane's absence; and Mr. Densell also.
Please send Mr. Tywke and Mr. Densell the French wine, Mr. Bassett is
out of apparel. He has no good gown but one of chamlet, which was illfashioned, and is now amending. His damask gown is worth nothing but
to make a jacket; for his velvet coat was broken to guard his chamlet gown.
Reports the state of his other articles of dress. The kersey is not for him, and
I have sent it by Edw. Russell. He has brought with him a feather bed,
bolster, blankets, counter-point and two pair sheets. He requires another
bed furnished with a pillow. I intend to make him two pr. black hose, a
new damask gown faced with foynes or genetts, and a study gown faced with
"fox powttes" of cloth at 6s. a yd., &c. Would like 3l. or 4l., as what is

R. O. | 120. [Lord Lisle] to Leonard Smyth. |
|---|
| I have received your letters dated 24 Jan., stating that one Hunt is
minded to make his complaint, and that I should write to the Dean of Arches
to stay process in my favor. I never meddled with any of his matters, but
he made a false oath before the marshal here, and had 20 days' respite before
the commissary to reprove those who had sworn the contrary. He promised
me and divers of the Council to give surety for 100l. to be paid to the King
if he did not prove his oath true. This he never did, but "fletyd away" at
Sandgate or Whitesand. My letter to the Dean of Arches was to the effect
that we have a plain ordinance that no curse shall be pronounced against any
soldier here for fault of appearance. Hunt had procured two false knaves
to perjure themselves, for which they wore papers and were banished. He
was pardoned, being the King's servant, but now that he has committed the
same, the retinue have desired me to discharge him, abhorring his company as a great reproach and slander to them all. If he deny this, call
John Shepherd, a soldier of this town, to whom he gave money to deliver
to his adversaries for agreement. Notwithstanding, if Mr. Secretary will
send a commission to some of the Council and constables and vintners here,
and if they say he is other than a false knave, and ought to have a room
again, he shall have it and 12d. a day out of my purse. When he complains,
inform Mr. Secretary thereof. Calais, 27 Jan. |
| If you think it convenient, I will cause the commissary to come over with
the process. I trust Mr. Secretary will give no credit to any surmise unto
I may make answer. There have been many running tales surmised about
me since I came hither. If God were here among us, every man would not say
well by him. He (Hunt) says he was stopped five tides, but he cannot prove
it was by my mind, except that John à Burges complained that Hunt would
have robbed him in his own house, whereupon I sent them both to the
mayor. Mr. Secretary wrote asking that he might he restored, but I
answered that if it had not been for Mr. Compton he would have worn
paper, and if I put him to his room again all the retinue would cry out on
me. God send me a good end in my matter with Sir Edw. Semour. Commend me to your brother. |

| The day after the date of my last letters the brother of the duke of
Norfolk left for Scotland. Four or five days after the King assembled, as a
sort of chapter, certain of the knights of the Garter, where the king of Scots
was elected to the Order in place of lord Mountjoy, lately deceased. The day
before yesterday the collar and habit was sent to him by a king-of-arms
named Noruyz (Norroy). A report was circulated sometime since at
Cromwell's house and at Court, that the king of Scots would be present at
the interview between Henry and Francis, although even those here (ceux-ci)
begin to doubt that the king of France will mock them as he did last year,
seeing that since the Admiral left "se (?) lambassadeur et quelcunque";
although the said ambassador, to relieve this king's anxiety about it, warned
his master 12 days ago by his maitre d'hotel with all possible haste, but as
little have they any news of him. (fn. 4) |
| The King (fn. 5) is sending to Lubeck this week to hasten the gunners in their
commission, and to raise men in greater numbers than he at first intended,
because the affairs of Ireland are daily getting worse. Many wonder that
he proposes to use Germans in Ireland, who are not accustomed to the
country, and who, not getting the provisions they want, may desert; but he
has so little confidence in his own people that he is obliged to call in
strangers. The doctors of Lubeck and Hamburg, seeing that the King
would not promote a reformation of churchmen such as they wanted, and
that his only object was to fill his coffers, demanded their congé, which was
delayed till eight days ago. The doctor of Lubeck had long wished to visit
me before his departure: he said so to a man of mine whom he entertained
at some banquet, saying he had something to communicate to me that would
give me pleasure, and that he wished to meet me secretly, for the King had
already suspected him of having conversed with me. I had already intended
to do so; but being informed that he was a crafty double-dealing fellow, I
sent him word that I would not like to bring him into suspicion, and, if he had
anything to communicate touching your Majesty's service, he might tell it to
the Queen when he passed through Flanders. On this he removed sooner
than I or even he himself expected. I do not know if the English pressed
him to make haste. The Hamburg doctor is a far more learned and sober
man. I ascertained his opinion from the first upon the question of the
divorce, which has always been in favor of the Queen, and he sent
to ask me for some books written on her side, that he might speak upon
it with more assurance. I do not know how far he has fulfilled this
duty. |
| The King has added to his titles that of Sovereign Head of the Church of
England on Earth, and it is proposed to burn all the bulls and provisions
hitherto granted by the Holy See. With this view, on Sunday last, an
Augustinian friar. (fn. 6) who has been appointed by the King general of all the
Mendicant orders in reward for having married the King and the Lady,
preached a very solemn sermon maintaining that the bishops and all others
who did not burn all their bulls obtained from the Holy See, and get new ones
from the King, deserved very severe punishment, and that without that they
could not discharge any episcopal duty; that the sacred chrism of the
bishops would be inefficacious, as made by men without authority, seeing that
they obeyed the bishop or idol of Rome, who was a limb of the Devil; and
that tomorrow or after it would be a question whether to rebaptise those
baptised during that time. This language is so abominable that it is clear it
must have been prompted by the King or by Cromwell, who makes the said
monk his right-hand man in all things unlawful. Cromwell does not cease to
harass the bishops, even the good ones like Winchester and some others,
whom he called lately before the Council to ask them if the King (fn. 7) could not
make and unmake bishops at pleasure; who were obliged to say Yes, else
they should have been deprived of their dignities; as the said Cromwell told
a person, who reported it to me, and said the Council had been summoned
only to entrap the bishops. I sent lately to the principal (fn. 8) mentioned in my
last, viz., him who sent me the pensée: and although I was afraid he
had cooled, seeing that the King had not then proceeded so far in regard to
the Church, I found he was firm and constant. We may be the more assured
of him because he is allied with the Chamberlain: the first having the
greatest following in the kingdom, and the other being the best captain, and
there is no doubt that with a little money 100,000 men could be mustered,
when he thinks it should be proclaimed on the part of your Majesty that
they come, not only for the cause of God and the Queen, but for the comfort
of the poor oppressed people and the restoration of order and justice. Truly
considered, the danger of this course would be in delay; for as time goes on
the King will deprive of their benefices, one by one, all whom he pleases,
and give them to those who will seduce the people to his will. Moreover, the
King, by the Acts last passed in Parliament, has augmented his patrimony
by 400,000 ducats a year, besides what he will gain by the renewal of bulls,
whereby he can provide an "ordonnance" of 1,000 men-at-arms, as they
have sometimes said, both to gain the heart of the nobles, and in case of any
mutiny (tant pour gaigner le cueur de la noblesse que pour mutiner le
peuple), and that then the thing would be too difficult and almost impossible.
He also sent to warn me that perhaps the earl of Northumberland was sending
to tell me some things, and that I should consider what was possible but not
trust him too much, for he was very light and hasty (par trop legier et
brefs). The said person is to go home and send me news. London, 28 Jan.

| I have a chapel called the Hospital of St. John, in my lordship of Forbridge, near Stafford, founded by my ancestors for daily service and maintenance
of certain poor people. These usages have been retained till now. Mr. Ralph
Egerton, of the close of Lichfield, who has the same chapel by the gift of my
father, where many bodies have been buried, has allowed it to fall to decay.
The roof has fallen down, and the houses of the poor are now inhabited by

| Has received his letters of the 13th and 20th ult., and rejoices at his
safe arrival. Perceives that Mr. Winte[r] has satisfied the banker for the
150 d[ucats], and purposes to be here in short season. Marvels that Everton
has shown so little faith against Starkey. He borrowed here 25 ducats, which
is returned by protest, and mounts to 285/8 ducats. Has paid this to the
banker, and Starkey at his commodity can pay Cokerel. |
| Perceives by his writing that priests are put to great charges, sundry
ways, whereby the fruits of the Crown shall be increased not meanly.
Are in manifest expectation of war here by the Pope's motion against the
duke of Urbino, who is not light to be beaten. The duke of Milan fortified
his towns, fearing war out of France. The Emperor will have an incredible
army of 100 galleys and 70 ships, with 25,000 men in the navy. It is
reported that the Sophy has obtained a victory over the Turks. If true, it
is good news. The Emperor will come to Italy this year. His generals are
levying soldiers in Germany. Venice, 3 cal. Feb. 1534. |

R. O. | 134. The Earl of Oxford to Cromwell. |
|---|
| I received your letters of the 23rd Dec., enclosing a bill of complaint
presented to you by John Grene of Riddeswell, against Sir Will. Hybbis,
vicar of Maplested, who he alleges has made friends in the country, and
caused every man to denounce him as a "promotor" because he has put the
said vicar in the King's exchequer for hiring of farms. Grene also complains that the vicar has divers ways caused him to be imprisoned, and got
John and Edw. Holton to kill his cattle, threatening to serve him the same
way and drive his wife and children out of the country. Has heard both
Grene and the vicar on the subject. The former can bring no witnesses to
prove his assertions, which the vicar denies. As he was very quarrelsome,
and threatened to put the parson of Henny in the King's exchequer, and
thereupon took a bribe of him, I sent him to Colchester Castle, but afterwards released him on his own bond, as I could find no sureties. Colne

| Desires his help for paying his debts. Lord Latimer is content to
release him of so much land as would discharge them; yet for all that "my
heart doth even bleed in my belly" to part with any, for my wife and
children's sake, and rather than incur the obloquy of it, would desire to be
out of the world. Begs he will procure for him the King's compassion,
and obtain a loan of 2,200l., for which he will engage a lordship of 140l. a
year, with other conditions. Offers Cromwell, as security for himself, land
of 20l. a year for 40 years if he will do him this service. Thus may you,
at the Lord's blessed hand, get your immortal reward. Appeals to his father's
services, who with his brother shed his blood and lost their lives in the war
against Scotland. It will be imagined that you have laid down much money
for me, and are content for the favor you bear me to take it again in so many
years. Serjeant Chamley knows my first offer to you of 40l. a year for
15 years, and can show you how my land stands. I am at Cambridge, and
do not dare to come to London for fear of Mr. Gresham and Mr. Lodge.

| The admiral of France told him that the king of England had complained of the Emperor's having an ambassador in Ireland. Excused this,
saying that the Emperor had greater cause to complain of the King's having
assisted the people of Lubeck and other rebels in Germany. He said also
that the Princess was very sickly, and that the King her father and all the
Court spoke in her praise. Asked him whether a marriage had been arranged
for her with one of the French princes, to which he made no answer,
excepting to say that the said king (Francis?) had told him at his return of
the proposal made by the Emperor for Mons. d'Angoulême * * *
Asked the English ambassador if the interview would be held, and if a great
number of English would make a descent on Flanders, and how much money
the French king had sent to the King his master. He answered that he
did not yet know whether the interview would be held, although the Admiral
had been in England. He denied knowing anything about the descent of
the English into Flanders, and said he had only sent his master two years
of the usual pension. |
| Has been told, but not by very good authority, that the king of England
urged the admiral of France for a declaration of war against the Emperor,
and the cessation of annates to the Pope, and that the Admiral answered
that he did not know about the war, but as to the annates the King would
let the Pope have what belonged to him. Paris, 31 Jan. 1535. |

| Concerning the affairs of France and the Empire. (f. 224 b.) Complaint is
made of the French and English practises in Gueldres, Denmark, Lubeck and
other States, and of the conduct of the French king in sending to England,
when Nassau was in France, to desire the Admiral to request the completion
of the marriage of the Dauphin with the English princess, which had been
treated of long before, although the said King had asked for the Infanta of
Spain for his son. |
| There is fear of the French king joining the king of England in his
separation from the Church, judging from his practises with the heretics in
Germany, which will endange. Flanders, access to which will be stopped.
Being master of the sea, he will be able to attack Spain and the Isles with
the help of the infidels, and may even occupy England, to attain his desires.
Another letter is sent to the ambassador in France. If the King is not
altogether unreasonable, he will desist from, or at all events hold in suspense.
his desire to embroil Christendom. As a last resort, it will be best to accept
his offers, if they are made in good faith. |

| Teulet, p. 95. | 144. The Archbishop of St. Andrew's. |
|---|
| Instructions of James V. to John Lauder and others. to be declared
to Panl III. |
| Has for a long time complained in his letters to Rome of the arehbp. of
St. Andrew's, who. during the King minority. enriched himself and his
friends by means of the King's authority, to his great damage. He married
his niece, the daughter of his second brother, to James earl of Arran. whose
issue, the present earl of Arran, is next heir to the throne, after the duke of
Albany, who is not married. He is of such low family that no one of his
position has ever had any interest in the Crown. |
| When the King was old enough to govern, the Arehbp.. being impatient
at losing his authority, formed a party and besieged the King at Edinburgh
till he was compelled to place himself and his government in the hands of
him and his colleagues of whom the earl of Angus, his brother and uncle,
were the chief; who are and have long been rebels allied with England.
and are the chief cause of the damage which the kingdom has sustained
from England. It is notorious that this was done entirely by the advice of
England. James bore with him. partly from his respect for the Church, and
partly because he thought he would desist from his ill-will. |
| Shortly afterwards by his means the battle of Linlithgow was fought, at
which he was present in person, and in which the earl of Lenox and many
others were slain, and the King himself was in great danger. After James
arrived at full age he continued to foment troubles in the kingdom in various
ways, as will be shown in the process about to be made. The wars with
England have been produced by his intelligence, as will be seen by the
evidence collected by the two prelates, the executors of the Pope's brief, in
the King's favor. Thinks that he can do nothing less than ask for the
execution of the brief, considering the danger to which his person and throne
are exposed in this time of war. Is sure that the Archbp. is seeking his
destruction, for he has said that he does not expect to die until he has put
the crown of Scotland on the head of his niece's son. |
| The Archbp. does not seem to be well guarded by the prelates named by
the King in accordance with the brief. Since his arrest he has sent out of
the kingdom many letters of credences to the King's prejudice, as is proved
by the confession of a servant who destroyed a quantity of his letters when
he was going to be taken. They must have contained matters to the injury
of the kingdom, for he has never been prevented from sending to Rome or
elsewhere to defend or prosecute his just actions. All his officers have
access to him, and the King is surely informed that, on pretext of exercising
his jurisdiction and attending to his lawful affairs, he is making secret
practises to the great injury of the King and the kingdom. Desires the
Pope to take some order about this. |
| Another of his servants was taken with more letters, one being directed to
Silvester Darius, and containing false statements to procure the revocation
of the brief and his liberation, and making him great presents; and suggesting also that the process should be completed in Rome and not here. Caused
the executors of the brief to arrest the Archbp. so suddenly in consequence
of information that he had arranged with the captain of Berwick to receive
him. He could go thither from his castle at St. Andrew's secretly in six
hours. Lauder is to desire the Pope that the process may be conducted here
by commission to certain prelates, Gawain archbp. of Glasgow, Geo. bp. of
Dunkeld, Wm. bp. of Aberdeen, or others; so that he may not have
occasion, in default of justice, to use other means which may prejudice the
liberty of the Church. |
| He is to present the King's letters and show his credence to the cardinal
of Ravenna and the duke of Albany, asking them to procure speedy justice
and the appointment of some good prelate as the Archbp.'s coadjutor.
Reminds him of the erection of the College of Justice, the dispensation and
other affairs. |

B. M. | 145. News from the East. |
|---|
| Letters of the 13th Nov. from Constantinople speak of a caravan of the
Sophi's taken. The Sophi had three armies (one of 100,000 men), commanded
by himself and two of his brothers. They had taken and levelled (spianato)
much of the land of the green turbans (di quelli delle berette verdi). The
Sophi had sent a defiance to Ibrayn Bassa and the Turk by two ambassadors,
of whom the one was beheaded for speaking proudly of his commission, and
the other sent back with his ears cut off. News came on the 30th Oct. that
Ibrayn being warned, when two days' journey beyond Tauris, of the approach
of the Sophi, sent notice to the Turk, who joined him in the beginning of
Oct. One of the Sophi's captains with 3,000 musketeers and a good number
of horse had gone over to the Turk, and advised him to go into winter
quarters, offering him rice for the victuals of his army. The army of the
Sophy was seven days' journey from that of the Turk and of Ibraim, and a
battle was expected, for the success of which prayers were offered up in
Constantinople. Whether there is a battle or not the Turk will winter there.
It is understood by letters from Rome of the 9th to the 23rd Jan. that
Mons. di Bauri had arrived at Genoa from the Emperor to provide for the
fleet, and had already spent 100,000 cr. |
| Luigi Davila had also brought from Spain by the Emperor's orders to Ant.
da Leva, 100,000 cr., to be paid in Milan for infantry and cavalry. The
Emperor intends to man his fleet with a great number of soldiers and to
attack Barbarossa. |
| The fleet is being got ready with great diligence both here and in Spain.
The people of Sienna and Lucca have already ratified the treaty with the
Emperor. The Imperialists say that duke Alexander of Florence will be
made [general ?]. The duke of Ferrara is likely to follow the Pope's footsteps and remain neutral. The affairs of Perugia are brought to the wishedfor end by means of the Pope, who is proceeding by way of justice in the
affairs of Camerino. |

Sherforth, Norfolk, said in presence of Cathern, Wm. and John Monement,
Thos. Clerk, Wm. Bornam, John Shynkefeld, John Tile and Peter Leke,
that at Fakenham market he was talking with five or six honest men, who
marvelled much what the King meant by polling and pilling the realm, both
spiritual and temporal, more than he had in times past, and they thought he
intended to make a great hand by money, and then to avoid the realm and let
the people shift as they could. He reported also that he would make Cathern
avoid the country, and he dares not come to his house, to his wife and child.

|---|
| To the same effect generally as the preceding, but in other words and
with a little more detail. The abbot does not keep obits and doles, and
allows some of his monks to be proprietors. He allows two of them who
daily haunt queans to celebrate mass without confession; also to play at
dice and cards all night and celebrate in the morning. He has abolished
some masses. He allows women to stay with the brethren from noon to
evensong, and has several times imprisoned dan Will. Christchurch for
writing and speaking against him. He also expelled him from the monastery,
and gave the prior of Monmouth 20 nobles to receive him, where he was
also very ill handled. |

| R. O. | 150. William Body to [Cromwell]. |
|---|
| I have despatched Bek with 5,008l. 10s. 5d. in ready money, and with
a bill for the rest, which I trust to pay on Tuesday with the rest of the
halfpence in the town. He will, I think, ask you for other money, and leave
it in my hands, "which is no ready payment here." I suspect him of
unsteadiness, and gather from his words and looks that he is half weary of
the great plenty of small money; "and no marvel, because he nor his grandsire, I suppose, never saw so many together." Is suffering from the piles.
Sends a docket to prick for warrants. |

| R. O. | 151. William Body to [Cromwell]. |
|---|
| Cannot wait upon him, because his body is abated since the last
occasion. Trusts to gain strength, as he has overcome the fever by diet only,
without medicine. Has discharged an obligation of Chr. Perne for 20
marks, as [Cromwell] desired, received by Gresham. |
| Hol., p. 1. Add. |
| R. O. | 152. William Body to Cromwell. |
|---|
| Has been sick since Wednesday last, and is not able to travel. Sends
by his child a copy of a bill to be indented, between Cromwell and Gostwick,
for receipt of 11 obligations on the statute of Mr. North. I desire that I
may serve for my living without any partner, or else may have liberty to get
my living abroad in the world with my handy occupation, as I was wont
to do. |
