26 Sept.	430. John Husee to Lord Lisle.
R. O.	Of Nich. Eyer I received your sundry letters, and by reason of Mr. Wriothesley's and Mr. Pollard's absence have not delivered them; for they willed me not to meddle with my Lord till the King's coming to Greenwich, which will be tonight. Tomorrow I shall deliver them and certify you by Nich. Eyer what is to be done. Mr. Wriothesley and Mr. Pollard have been at Winchester about such the King's affairs as they had at Canterbury, but came home yesterday and have promised to assist your affairs. I have delivered your letter to the bishop of Canterbury, and us yet cannot meet him; but when, in three or four days, the Saxons are despatched his Grace will be at leisure and I shall know his mind. Mr. Brian is something amended, and was glad to hear of you. He told me he dreamt that the King made him comptroller of Calais to keep you company, and that he was never more healthful nor merrier. He thanks you for Mr. Speccot; "for he would not have missed him for no good." Mr. Russell and my Lady are merry, and send commendations. He will be shortly at the Court. There are weighty matters in hand, and divers of the West country committed to the Tower. I send you by Gyll'me Partner a great bible and a small bible. The great cost 10s. and the other 5s. Whichever of them you like not may be sent back, "and you shall have another for him."I send also two pair of hosen and the rest of your liveries according to the bill in my Lady's letter, which amounts to 511. 5s. 3d. I had much ado to get them from "him" without money. I and a friend are bound to pay him by Allhallow tide. Cannot hear of Mr. Bonham, but think he will be here before next term. The rest I refer to Nicholas' coming, which shall be within three days. London, 26 Sept.
	Hol., pp. 2. Add.: Deputy of Calais.
26 Sept.	431. John Husee to Lady Lisle.
R. O.	I received your sundry letters by Nic. Eyre, which. I cannot thoroughly answer till he returns. I hope to despatch him in three days. Mr. Basset has been entertained most lovingly by Sir John Russell and my Lady. They are well, but not yet thoroughly strong. They like their conserve, and my Lady would gladly learn from you the making of it. Mr. Basset was also with Mr. Bryan, who made very much of him, and said he was sorry he was not well enough to do your Ladyship some pleasure at Dover. It is hoped that he is passed the worst. When Mr. Holies comes you will know the certainty about the earl of Bridgewater's coming. It is thought he will be here this terra, and then you may come over if you please. I hope, now that Mr. Wriothesley and Mr. Pollard are come home, I shall be despatched of your letters. You will receive of the bearer, Gill'm Partner, the rest of your liveries packed in two little fardels, in six ells of good canvas and mailed with small cords, which canvas your Ladyship may cause to be saved. I send the account of these cloths. The whole amount is 51l. 5s. 3d. I have had much ado to get them without money. Mr. Bonham is not yet come. I must speak to him about Sobberton. I send by the bearer two bibles and two pair of hose for my Lord, and I hope to send some barberries by Hen. Vernam. I have been told secretly that my lady Russell is with child. I will take an opportunity to reason with Mr. Skutte, when he is merrily disposed. The rest I defer fill Nicholas' return. London, 26 Sept.

R. O. Rymer, xiv. 618.

[26] Sept.	433. Anthony Budgegode to Cromwell.
R. O.	My sudden and foolish departure from England was owing, not to any untruth, but to the 100 marks I took with me, and I have oftener repented it "than be pence in the whole sum." There was another special cause which no one knows except that I have shown some part of it to my friend Broke, the bearer, and will show the rest to your Lordship if life last me to come to England. As for any knowledge I have "between my lord Deputy of Ireland and Mr. George Paulet," I will answer for it he is as true a man to the King as lives. I pray God the same may appear in the rest of his company. As for my lord Deputy, I never knew a man do his prince service more painfully; for which he is disdained by many of those put in trust. I never knew of any secret meetings between my Lord and Mr. Paulet, but I saw divers meetings of all the Commissioners and several of the Council at dinner and breakfast, when sometimes my Lord would speak more apart with Mr. Paulet than with others, simply because he gave counsel without dissimulation. I myself went once or twice from Mr. Paulet to my Lord, with his advice that, notwithstanding he knew of conspiracies by the Master of the Rolls, the Chief Justice, Cowley, Cewsake, and others, he should sober himself and use patience, applying himself to the King's affairs. I beg you will devise some means for my old age. Half an hour before my departure from London, I thought it no more than the child this night born, and no creature knew of it, nor have I written to England till this hour. Bony, (fn. n1) Thursday before Michaelmas Day.
	Hol., pp. 3. Add.: Lord Privy Seal. Endd.
27 Sept.	434. John Husee to Lord Lisle.
R. O.	Saw my lord Privy Seal today. He says the King never made you any grant, nor gave you more than 200l. per annum. But before this motion was made he said he did his best to get you 500 or 600 marks pension, but the King would not give more than 200l. I said, as it had been bruited that the King had given you 400l. per annum, the conceit of not having it might cost you your life. He answered, whether you died or not the King would do no otherwise. I said, a word from his mouth would set it all right. He promised at last to do his best, and commanded me to make two bills, the one at 200l., the other at 400 marks. You are yourself to blame in this matter, for had you been earnest with the King you might as well have had 1,000 marks as 100. But I perceive that you never spake to him about it. Now for the place where it is to be paid. The Treasurer of the Chamber is often without money. The Jewel House, Augmentation, and First Fruits is as ill, and the Chequer worse, and to be paid at Calais by the treasurer or receiver worst of all, unless you compound with them beforehand. You had better take their advice in drawing your bill as to the payment. Touching the Friars he tells me that in the end all shall be yours. When I moved him for the 100l., he said if you go through with him for Paynswick you shall have many hundred pounds of him. It is clear he will not lend any. I told him it was my Lady's jointure, and she wouldn't part with it without an equivalent. When Mr. Popley comes up, will arrange for Mr. James's prebend. You must thank Mr. Wriothesley, who is now going to Calais. Can do nothing for Mr. Bonham till he comes to London. I have sent your letter to Leonard Smyth. It is no use suing to the King for any abbey, "for his Grace will be the doer himself in the suppressment, and will part from none of them at any suit or otherwise." I send (sent) you the rest of the liveries by Gyllam Partner, with two bibles and two pairs of hosen. The Lywbyaks (Lubeckers) or Saxons are this day despatched. Tomorrow I shall be in hand with my lord of Canterbury for an answer to your letter. The bishop of Winchester is daily expected. A British priest (fn. n2) has been put into the Tower, as some think for treason. London, 27 Sept.
	Hol., pp. 3. Add.
27 Sept.	435. John Husee to Lady Lisle.
R. O.	I received this day your letter of Worthe. I hear nothing of those you sent by Mr. Degory's servant. The King's letters for my lord Chancellor and the justices are not yet done, in consequence of Mr. Wriothesley's absence, but he left remembrance with Mr. Solyman for their despatch.You must thank Mr. Wriothesley now at his coining to Calais. Mr. Pollard is busy and can do no good; but when at leisure, I hope to "get of him his meaning of the Bewmondes title." I cannot see that my Lord's annuity will be above 200l. or 400 marks. There is no doubt he will have the Friars, but must wait his time. As to lord Daubeney's coming, the certainty is not yet known. When Mr. Rolles comes the truth will be known. My lord Privy Seal has surely a mind to Painswick, and I think has bought the reversion. I think Leonard Smith forgot what he said or knew not where the indenture is. I know not what to do about Soberton till Mr. Bonham comes. I hear Mrs. Anne Basset is well amended. I will see her in four days. Mr. Skutt shall not be forgotten. I never heard of the poticary of Exeter nor of his barberries. I hope tomorrow to buy some for your Ladyship. I sent by Gylliam Partner the rest of your liveries, with two bibles for my Lord and two pair of hose. Mr. Coffin shall not be forgotten for your saddle, nor yet the travers, which if I have not within 14 days I will never look for. London, 27 Sept.
	Hol., pp. 2. Add.
27 Sept.	436. Sir Francis Bryan to Cromwell.
R. O.	The abbot of Sulbye, whose steward I am, lately came to ask my counsel about surrendering his house. I advised him to go to you and declare his mind, and I beg you to be good lord for his pension. Give credence to the bearer, the bailly of Olney. If I had been able I would have written with my own hand. Bedyngton, 27 Sept. Signed.
	P. 1. Add.: Lord Privy Seal. Endd.
27 Sept.	437. John [Hilsey], Bishop of Rochester, to Cromwell.
R. O.	Has been at Babewell, (fn. n3) as he wrote, and communed with the warden to know whether he would surrender if the King sent to him. Though he is somewhat circumspect in worldly things, he granted that he said some of the words reported in Hilsey's last letter, but, as one sorry for the same, desired Hilsey to receive his humble submission, and said he was ready to surrender if the King or Cromwell wish. Offers to take the surrender at his return from Lynn. Has commanded him and the brethren not to diminish or alienate any of the stuff. Asks Cromwell to put the name of Babwell in his letter, and if he insert Thetford and Ware also, which are in his way homeward, will bring the surrender of them. There is at Babwell a bedridden friar, who shall be used as Cromwell shall command. Bury, 25 Sept.
	Came here to Thetford on Sept. 26, on his way to Lynn. Found the place of Black Friars without a head, with all the doors shut for the safe- guard of the stuff, for the people were ready to snatch and spoil. Found the Austin Friars so bare that there was no earthly thing at all but trash and baggage. Has therefore discharged them of their houses, and taken their surrender. Thetford, 27 Sept.
	P.S. in his own hand. Thought not to have meddled with these houses till he heard further of Cromwell's pleasure, but they were so far gone that if they had continued, all had been spoiled. Signed.

R. O.	Sends a goshawk. Had promise of the whole nest, but Justice Luttrell prevented him of one, which the Bp. hears has been sent to Cromwell. They are very scarce. Last year sent two by Thomas Agarde and had no acknowledgment of their receipt. Begs two or three words in writing of the receipt of them and of this. Has paid the 201. Cromwell lent him and begs the obligation may be sent to the King's treasurer to be cancelled. Dublin, 27 Sept.

[27 Sept.]	442. Wriothesley to Cromwell.
R. O. St. P. viii. 51.	This Friday before noon, met with my lord of Winchester between Sittingbourn and Rochester. Describes his train, which was very gallant and their salutations. Told him the King was at Greenwich and that he himself was going into Flanders. Asked if he had not met with Mr. Brown. He said he had met him yesterday almost at Dover, and could not tell whether he had passed or no. Mr. Thirlby rode a little way back with me and I asked why he had tarried so long for my lord of Winchester. He said their letters were that they should return together and he could not have left him without unkindness. He would fain have had Gardiner make more haste, and for his own part he went so fast that all my Lord's train was angry with him. He said Gardiner did not seem to dislike the doing at Canterbury, and wished the like were done at Winchester. Asked what he thought of my Lord's disposition. He commended his wisdom and said he had often told him he would go as far as the King, but never further, not knowing for certain whether the King would approve it. My Lord had seen the new injunctions and appeared to approve them, especially the order to curates to advise their parishioners to learn their belief and other things in English. On this he said "Ha! I see the King will not yet leave this auricular confession. Methink I smell the King in this point." Mr. Thirlby also said he was a man of great forecast, and had often told him he had made it his study to answer men where he had been, for the King's estimation. He said also that Gardiner had heard, apparently from Mr. Brian, that I was a great expounder of his letters, which he took evil in me. My Lord would also say at times he would not be led into dangerous things by any man. The tragedy between him and the elect of Hereford was very ill handled on [his] side, for at the first meeting my lord of Winchester called him fool. They expect to be at Court tomorrow. Had no more than a beck and a good morrow with Germain. Bekinsale is not come over. Hopes soon to return Newnton, (fn. n4) this Friday about noon.

27 Sept.	443. Vaughan to Cromwell.
R. O. St. P. viii. 53.	Came to Brussels on the 26th Sept., where the queen of Hungary then held her Court. Was brought to her on Friday, 27th, and declared his charge. Her answer briefly was that whatever the French might report of the commission from the Emperor to her for the marriage of the King and the duchess of Milan, neither she nor the Emperor meant otherwise than that it should be set forth with all convenient speed. She said she had heard that the King seemed cold and went about to marry in France and other places, which made them not so much haste the matter, but she will again write to the Emperor for a speedy despatch there and thinks that ambassadors should be appointed for a final determination. She promised a fuller answer before her departure from hence on 1st Oct. for Compiegne. Thought good to intimate this by the bearer, Mr. Palmer. Speaks of his expenses in following the Court. Brussels, 27 Sept.
	Mr. Hutton is so far in debt that if I send you his horses his creditors here will think we intend to run away with all. His horses and raiment altogether are not worth 200l. and he owes 400l. to Dutchmen. What he owes, besides, to Englishmen Mr. Wriothesley can inform you.

28 Sept.	446. John Husee to Lord Lisle.
R. O.	This day I received your letter of Mr. John Graynefylde concerning Mr. James Bassett, whom I shall see furnished in all things. As for his prebend, as the half year is now past I will defer it till Mr. Popley's coming or else he might lose the half year's rent, which is better saved towards his installation and other charges. The bishop of Winchester came this night. Tomorrow I will see Mr. James, who is meeter to serve the temporal powers than the spiritual dignities. I have been in hand with Mr. Myms for the draught of your patent for the annuity; wherein I would first know your full mind. I trust the liveries, bibles, and hosen are come in safety. I would be glad to have answer to my former letters. By Warley or Worthe you shall know my lord of Canterbury's mind. I have not attempted my Lord further in your suit for the Friars: there is no doubt you shall have it. This day the Council were with my lord Privy Seal, as my lord Chancellor, my lord of Canterbury, the bp. of Durham, and others. My lords of Norfolk and Sussex are at Court. There has been ill news here of your Lordship: I would I could come by their author. London, 28 Sept.

28 Sept.	447. John Husee to Lady Lisle.
R. O.	This day Mrs. Rolles sent me the letters brought by Mr. Degory's servant, which I have yet not thoroughly seen. I will return them to you in three days with my advice. Mr. Ric. Pollard came home, remained one night, and is returned to Reading about like business he had in hand before. I have today got both your letters made, and I trust they will be signed tomorrow and despatched. Mr. John Graynfeld says he has sent his man to my lady of Sussex, and these letters once despatched I will ride thither. Mrs. Anne is merry. I have heard from her this day. I trust the liveries have arrived in Calais safely. I have bought a bushel of barberries, which I will send you next week by Robt. Johnson, by whom also Mrs. Whalley, now Mrs. Karket, will send you a little barrel of quinces. I have not forgotten your seat and saddletree, nor yet the travers. There has been an ill report in this city that my Lord was dead. It was not his friend that brought those news. London, 28 Sept.

Desire that all actions wherein a scholar is a party may be hoard before the Vice- Chancellor according to their charter; that the University may continue to have the view and correction of victual and victuallers, weights and measures, forstallers, and regraters, in the town and at Sturbridge fair, according to the King's charter; and that the mayor, who this year past refused to take the oath, may from henceforth do so, as the King's charter binds him.

29 Sept.	452. Wriothesley to Cromwell.
R. O.	Arrived here at Calais yesternight very ill from hasty riding to Dover and travail of the passage; but is now recovered, and hopes to rest this night at Dunkirk. At Calais found letters to him from Mr. Vaughan touching Mr. Hutton's matters. Encloses them. Intends to prove what the Merchants Adventurers will do towards discharge of the debts, and Cromwell should speak therein to my lord Mayor, Sir John Gresham, and Mr. Kitson: they should be paid, if only for the King's honour. Found also here letters to Cromwell and himself from my Lord elect of Hereford, and opened them hoping to learn something about this interview; but the first part of Cromwell's letters, and the whole of his own, touch only private matters, and the post scripta make him none the wiser. Forwards them with two to his Lordship (of Hereford) from friends about Hereford. The Deputy has made him great entertainment, taking him to his own house "in manner perforce" from Mr. Loveday's, where he first rested. As all here were persuaded the writer was dead, many were glad to see him alive. Recom- mends his friend Mr. Parys, who owes somewhat to my lord of Winchester, who percase will be hasty with him unless by Cromwell's intercession he may have reasonable days for payment.

30 Sept.	476. Anthoinette de Bourbon [Duchess of Guise] to the Queen Of Scotland.
Balcarres MS. ii. 9, Adv. Lib., Edin.	Is much rejoiced to learn by her letters both by her lacquey and by the controller, whose words confirm it, the good treatment she has "au lieu ou Nostre Signeur vous a pourveue." Hopes God will increase her honour, and that she may feel more bound to do him service. On our side all is well, especially our grandson (petit filz) (fn. n16) who eats heartily. All the rest here (de scans) are well except your sister, who is still troubled with fever. I do not expect she will get rid of it till spring. "Elle est quyte de fluex de ventre, au inoyen de quoy elle n'est sy feible qu'elle soullet. Je suis la pleus vaillente des aultres, car je ne me suis sentie de ryens." You father is still at the Court. He writes that he hopes this interview with the queen of Hungary will not be long, and that he may return about All Saints' Day, or soon after, when he will send a gentleman to you to learn news of the King and you. I shall take care, however, if not too lazy, to send with him letters of my own of all that shall occur. I am still doubtful whether to go to my niece's marriage with Mons. de Nevers. (fn. n17) "Sy se feust a sete asemblee croy are peyne (?) men escuxer, combien que je laye este pour la malladie de vostre seur estre comme les aultres; mais Madame ma mere ne veult ouyr parller ie faille a ses (ces) nopces. Mondit Sieur vostre pere ma mende que sy elle sy font il seret bien ayse, moyennant Louyse se portat ases bien, et je la pense layser gy alaso . . et que nous vyendrons ensemble." I expect news immediately what to do. Madame de Lorrayne is probably now at Compiegne. Your uncle comes thence to Gendrecourt (?), and sends word that he will come and see me here this week. He is alone, because the Marquis and Mons. de Mez are with Madame, their mother. Wishes the King and her long life and a "beau filz" as soon as may be.
	P.S.—Your father has sent me a note to get the King an armourer (armurier) here, and one of this town who is considered a good workman agrees to go to Scotland, but not till spring, and the miners (mynurs) also. Written 30 Sept.

R. O.	I have received your letter of the 26th inst., and pray you to go through with my lord Admiral according to my last letter. You know what my brewhouse stood me in. I send you a letter touching an answer to Mr. Pollard. As to my promise to my lord Privy Seal about Paynswick, it is my wife's jointure. I can do no more than in me lies, and I should be loth but that she should fare the better by me after my decease. The indenture between Sir John Dudley and me purports that I shall make jointure to my wife during my life, and alter her decease have 1,000 marks for my daughters' marriages.

It is a mile from Mereworth. Will cause provision to be made.

	481. Ric. Layton, Priest, to Cromwell
R. O.	As commanded, I bound the abbot of Hailes in 500l., from the day of his departure from London, to alienate no moveables and make no grant under convent seal "from the day of his privy surrender forwards," and so sent him home. On Friday last I came to Harrow and yesterday went into the fields, and send you by my servant the bearer such birds as I killed with my hawk, viz., three pheasants. Tomorrow I purpose to be at Hunslow, with Mr. Ansam the groom porter, to pay the debts due by the drunken friars, who "drank weekly all the town dry," and yet when they were led home drunk at night were most ready to sing mass in the morning. Harrow, this Sunday. Signed.
	P. 1. Add.: Lord Privy Seal.
	482. Ric. Bp. of Dover, to Cromwell.
R. O.	Has received into the King's hands all the houses in South Wales, Devonshire, and Cornwall, Bristol, and Dorchester, and now is in Salisbury. The warden of Dorchester, a doctor, has been there many years, and is in high favour, so that the writer had much trouble to come to a knowledge of the state of the house. There is a mill worth 10l. a year which the warden has let to lord Sturton for 4l., the repairs to be done by the King. Had some trouble to see the indenture, which has only been made half a year, and no rent yet paid, though the warden says lord Sturton has had it for six years. Hears that his Lordship has gone to London to sue to have the whole house on the plea that he has the mill and grounds. Has seized the mill into the King's hands and retained the miller to the King's use, and charged the bailiffs with the "sight" of it, and ordered two horses and hay for them. Signed.
	P. 1. Add.: Lord Privy Seal. Endd.: Richard Deverys.
— Sept.	483. Queen Mary of Hungary to Chapuys.
Spanish Calendar, VI. i. No. 16.	Has heard, from Don Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, what he and Chapuys have negociated with the King and his ministers respecting the new alliances, and the state of the negociations [when Don Diego left that country]; and though they seem as far from an end as they were at first, yet the Emperor has sent her full powers to conclude the said alliances provided the King proposes reasonable conditions, and nothing shall be omitted on her part to strengthen the old friendship between England and the House of Austria. Henry expresses, in his letter brought by Don Diego, his wish to have the substance of her commission communicated to him that he may take resolution in the matter. Sends copy of her answer. Cannot at present go as far as Chapuys and Don Diego have gone; for, in the first place, the affair of Milan is now on a different footing, owing to the friendship between the Emperor and France, and all references to that matter ought to be carefully avoided. As to the Pope and Council, of which the King has often spoken, the Emperor will never act against the Church; but as to any personal matter between the King and the Pope he will do his best, as a brother, to adjust the matter. Chapuys may also tell the King she would like him to state, in writing, what property and rank he intends giving his daughter, the Princess, what dower he purposes for the Duchess, and what property is to be inherited by the sons and descendants of the said two marriages. These points being understood, he may send his ambassadors when he pleases.

Spanish Calendar, VI. i. No. 25.	Memorandum respecting Henry VIII.'s proposed marriage with the Duchess of Milan and that of the princess Mary with the Infant Dom Loys.
	The Emperor's wish is, first, that his ambassadors in England grant nothing against the Church or the authority of the Apostolic See, nor against the Princess' rights to the succession; that the Infant and Princess be not compelled to sign anything against the Church or Apostolic See; to know what dowry he proposes to give the Princess; that the king of Portugal is ready to maintain his brother in a princely state, and the king of England ought rather to look to the personal merits and age of the personage than to his material wealth; that the Emperor guarantees all promises made by the King and Infant of Portugal, and will be glad to enter into an offensive and defensive league with both states, and so will the king of the Romans. Should the king of England suggest ratifying the last treaty, the ambassadors shall decline on the plea that there are articles therein which do not concern Portugal or the king of the Romans. Should the king of England hint at a new league, they shall listen to his proposals without accepting or rejecting any terms, however hard they may appear. To grant nothing touching old confederacies with Scotland. To secure the succession to the Princess in case of the King dying without male or legitimate issue. To procure that the King shall assign to the Princess the largest dower possible on some estate which she herself may enjoy, besides a considerable sum of ready money; and to have the dower properly valued, so that in the event of the King's death she may know what to claim.
	The ambassadors shall remember:—(1) that the king of England will gladly declare against the Turk provided the Emperor will declare against the Pope; (2) that the King refuses to declare the legitimacy of the Princess, but will declare her heiress to his throne, should he die without legitimate children, and that in any case she shall be preferred to the daughter of Anne Boleyn, the beheaded Queen; (3) that he offered to give her 100,000 crs. down and 20,000 crs. a year as dower, which his ministers have since reduced to the 100,000 crs. only. The Imperial ambassadors said that for every 100,000 crs. Henry gave, the Infant would give 5,000 as a marriage portion; but nothing was fixed, and the King's consignment was originally made upon the lands of suppressed monasteries and not in ready money. On the other hand, the King stipulated that the Emperor should defend him against the Pope, that the Council should not be held at Cambray, (fn. n18) and that wherever" held, nothing should be treated therein to his detriment. The ambassadors tacitly owned that the Emperor intended to give Milan to the Infant; and this so pleased the King that he at once offered money to defend him against his enemies, and also to declare against the Turk. The King, nevertheless, requested that the investiture of Milan should be delayed till after the conclusion of the marriages. Since then the Emperor had offered Milan to the King on condition of his making a league offensive and defensive; but the English excused themselves on the plea of expense, the Emperor having so many enemies.
	ii. The King's marriage with the duchess of Milan.
	Cromwell first suggested it to the Imperial ambassador (Chapuys), and proposed that of the prince of England with the Emperor's daughter (Mary) and of the King's daughter by Anne Boleyn with the son of the duke of Savoy or of the king of the Romans. The proposal being renewed, the Imperial ambassadors declined to treat of such marriages on account of the youth of the parties, &c.; but said that, if the King would treat of his own marriage with the duchess of Milan, the Emperor would give her 100,000 crs. as dowry and 15,000 crs. a year, together with her rights to her mother's (fn. n19) inheritance, and would endeavour to get the countess Palatine to cede to her her right to the crowns of Denmark and Norway, and even, if necessary, aid him in the conquest of these kingdoms. The King, thereupon, asked for an increase of the dower and marriage portion, and that it should be assigned upon Flanders, as Milan was not secure, and said he did not care for the rights the Duchess might have to Denmark. The ambassadors replied that the dowry was sufficient, and that the King ought not to insist upon such trifles. They also offered that the Emperor should mediate between the Pope and the King; but this the King would not hear of. The King then asked the investiture of Milan for his daughter, and the ambassadors replied that Milan could not be disposed of without the consent of the Italian powers; and, moreover, there was nothing to fear in that quarter, since in the agreement with king Francis there was nothing to his detriment.
	In a despatch, addressed to the queen Regent of Flanders, Don Diego says that in treating the marriage between the Princess and the Infant great care should be taken that she be declared legitimate, and if the King will not agree to that, no mention of his refusal must be made in the marriage contract, so as not to hurt her right to the succession. To insist, however, upon the largest possible dower, she being daughter of queen Katharine, who had 200,000 ducats. That it would be well to draw out a secret protest that in treating the marriage her rights to the succession are not to be impaired. The Emperor writes approving his ambassador's answers to the King's two proposals, viz., that the Emperor should not consent to the General Council, and that he himself is unwilling to declare the legitimacy of his daughter. The answers were that the Emperor could not make such a promise, as it was against God and reason, and that if the King would not acknowledge his daughter's legitimacy, he was at least bound to reserve her right to the succession in default of other children.
	In a letter of 28 July 1538 the Emperor writes that the English ambassador had asked him to urge on the said two marriages, and that, even if the other were delayed, the King's with the duchess of Milan should be proceeded with; making no objection to the Emperor's voluntary disposal of Milan, and offering to contribute to its defence provided full powers were sent to the queen Regent to treat of his own marriage with the duchess of Milan. The Queen is to endeavour to discover what the King means by this new proposal, but, in order not to displease the king of France, she is to conclude nothing without first letting the Emperor know; much less arrange an interview with the King at Calais or elsewhere, which the English ambassador seems anxious for, or make any definitive agreement with respect to Milan, for the French have not yet lost all hope of getting possession of it somehow. Should the King or his ministers mention it, the Imperial commissioners must reply that, as the King's answer to the Imperial ambassadors on that point had been both cold and unmeaning, it was necessary that he should make a new declaration of his intentions therein within a fixed period; not forgetting to state that the Milan question is open to many considerations. The English ambassador with the Emperor has complained that his master was not expressly comprised in the treaty of Nice, saying, "Perhaps, by not mentioning my master in the treaty of Nice, the object was to show that he is not a Christian king, since he has denied obedience to the Church of Rome?" The ambassador again requested that the Emperor would engage that nothing to the King's detriment should be discussed in the General Council. The answer was that such a request was unreasonable. The ambassador also requested that particular instructions should be sent to the Queen Regent touching the dowry and rights of the Duchess, besides the cession of Denmark. This was promised. He also spoke of the defence of Milan, and was told that the assistance proffered is now subject to other considerations, as circumstances have greatly altered; also that if the marriages were to go forward he must proceed more seriously than hitherto.
	The Emperor's resident ambassador in England (Chapuys) writes, on the 31 August 1538, that the King objected to the powers sent to the Queen, on the ground that they were insufficient to treat of the marriage between the Infant and the Princess, which was the principal point of the two, that the Emperor did not know what property the Infant had to offer as security for the Princess' dower, and had not received, from the Infant, sufficient powers to proceed. Moreover, Henry wished the negociations carried on in England through the medium of the queen of Hungary. The Emperor's answer was that the English ambassador at his Court had seen the powers, and that Dom Loys himself would not contradict any statement made by the Emperor. Chapuys also says that the King, by declaring the Princess' marriage to be the more important of the two, shows clearly that his aim is to create jealousy between the Emperor and Francis about Milan. Cromwell must have said somewhere that a marriage was in contemplation between the duchess of Milan and the young duke of Cleves, and that it was a reflection on his master to be refused for a Duke; also that, once in possession of Milan, his master's affairs would go on well, and everything else be settled. The King, moreover, said to the French ambassador that he would have Milan in spite of any prince, and that it had been actually offered to him even after the interview at Aigues Mortes.

	485. Sir Antony Wyndesore to Lord Lisle.
R. O.	According to your last letters, I have commenced an action of scandalum magnatum against Ric. Bell for his lewd words, which all persons of worship know to be untrue. I have also made motions concerning your lease of Subberton. My lady Salisbury is very desirous of it, and also my lord Chief Baron. Your Lordship wrote of late to Mr. Hussey that Mr. Bonaham should have the preferment of it before any other, and he has been informed of your Lordship's pleasure, but we have yet no knowledge of his mind. I have been desired by the lord Chancellor's comptroller to ask you to sign this bill of protection. Commend me to my Lady.
	Hol., p. 1. Add.: Deputy of Calais.
	486. Sir Antony Wyndesore to Lord Lisle.
R. O.	I commend me to your Lordship and my Lady. I happened to be at Subberton the same day that Jamysso, your servant, was there for your Lordship's stuff. And as you commanded the "jare" to be mended, I covenanted with a "carttender "(carpenter?) before Mr. Robert Fawkner and Selarer for the making thereof, but he would not do it under 4l., besides timber. So, as your Lordship intends to sell your years of Subberton, I shall stay that charge till I hear from you. I wrote to you a letter to Dover concerning your suit against Richard Bell, to which you made me no answer. I therefore intend to cause your Lordship's counsel to go forward with the suit this term. I beg you to be good lord to this poor man Shoryare in his suit to your Lordship for the farm of Longsspersse.
	Mrs. Brytgytt recommends her to you and my Lady, and desires your blessing. She is now at home with me, because I will provide for her apparel, for she has outgrown all she has except what she had of late; and I will keep her still if your Lordship and my Lady desire it, and she shall fare no worse than I do, "for she is very spare, and hath need of cherishing, and she shall lack nothing in learning nor otherwise that my wife can do for her." I also wrote to your Lordship for the stuff of your brewhouse at Subberton. A good deal of money will not repair it now. I have sent you and my Lady a "booke" (buck). I trust you will receive it sweet.

	487. Robert Cowley to [Cromwell]. (fn. n20)
R. O. St. P. ii. 326.	"The devises of Robert Cowley for the furtherance of the King's Majesty's affairs in his Grace's land of Ireland."
	The Commission to the Deputy to hold the last Parliament was as deputy to the duke of Richmond, who died about the beginning of the Parliament. The Acts of the said Parliament are therefore invalidated, viz., the Acts of Supremacy, Suppression of Religious Houses, Attainders, &c. Advises:—
	1. That a new Parliament be commissioned to ratify them. 2. That Cromwell should appoint a substitute to execute part of his office in Ireland, and stop the Irish from recourse to the bishop of Rome. 3. That all "provisours going to Rome, and papists," should be punished extremely. 4. The "pretensed" earl of Desmond has seized upon Kildare's lands in Limerick. The Deputy and Council should recover the said lands, and reduce the said Desmond to allegiance, or else prosecute him as a rebel. 5. Young Gerot, Jas. Delahide, and their accomplices should be apprehended.
	I delivered your Lordship, in Canterbury, the writings sent from the Master of the Rolls, (fn. n21) among them a book of ordnance to be sent to Ireland. Please learn the King's pleasure about that and the Chancellorship of Ireland.
	In Cowley's own hand.

Calig. B. iii. 207.	"Abridgment."
B. M.	"Sir Rainold Carnabye's letter to your Lordship," referring the declaration of the estate of Tyndale to his brother and his servant Roger Lawson. (See No. 371.)
	"Abridgment of his letter to the Council of the North."
	That, he has imprisoned some Tyndale men at Warkworth because they would not inlay some of their pledges who had left Newcastle without licence. Item, one of the said prisoners escaped by means of Roger Heron. The Tyndale men afterwards, with outlaws and Scots of Liddesdale, unlawfully assembled for redress, which was refused by Carnaby. The gentlemen of Northumberland thought the best way of disappointing them would be, with permission of the Council, by burning their houses, &c. (See No. 355.)
	"Abridgment of articles from the same Carnaby of his devise."
	1. Credence must not be given to the Tyndale men's promises, for if they have redress of their prisoners and leisure to spend their corn and hay "they will set by no man." 2. The outlaws were in North Tyndale 13 Sept., with most of the inhabitants. 3. To get them expelled, a raid must be made against North Tyndale; those who will submit to be received, the rest to be apprehended and suffer justice, the goods of fugitives to be seized, and their houses, &c., "utterly brynt." One hundred men to be had in pay for three months. If the King consent, the order to be taken and then the King's letters to be sent to the wardens of the West and Middle Marches. (No. 371 (2).)
	"A letter from the Council of the North to Carnaby."
	The Council will be at Derrington the 12th Oct., and take a direction in the premises. (See No. 404.)
	"Abridgment for devises in Ireland." (See No. 487.)
	1. The last parliament there took no effect, for the duke of Richmond's lieutenant died before its authorisation. A commission is needed for a new parliament there to confirm the acts of "supremitie," &c. 2. To substitute under your Lordship one to exercise jurisdiction ecclesiastical. 3. "An injunction to persecute papist[s] in Ireland." 4. To prosecute the earl of Desmond as a rebel, and to recover from him the lands late of the earl of Kildare in co. Limerick. 5.
