80. Suffolk and Others to the Council.
Met yesternight at Newcastle, finding there the Lord Warden and
Mr. Bryan, who have done their devoirs for setting forth the 6 ships
"eskipped" here for the wars; but the haven is so frozen that they cannot
yet be gotten out. Mr. Bryan will set forth with them towards Holy
Eland, and wait there for the rest of the navy, in pursuance of the
Council's last letters of the 23rd, received yesternight. It is prudent of
the King to make his navy strong enough to encounter the Duke of Guise,
who will not venture to Scotland without a great "conserve." Doubtless
if the whole navy may assemble in time, viz. the six ships here, the six
coming from Hull with Roger Basing (of whom, notwithstanding sundry
commandments on pain of death, nothing is yet heard), and the four which,
the Council write, shall come out of the Thamys or else the Trinity and
Bonadventure which come "from by west," and those from Yarmowthe,
they will be strong enough. It should be foreseen that the ships from the
Thamys, the West and Yarmowthe are not taken straggling in the seas by
the Duke of Guise.
The prisoners of Scotland, and also the Earl of Anguishe, are now in
Scotland, and news of their proceedings is hourly expected. The Lord
Warden, having taken order with Mr. Bryan for the setting forth of the
six ships here, is gone to Berwick, where he may the sooner learn the
Scots' proceedings.
Suffolk has made the Lord Warden and the rest privy to his instructions,
and they have consulted upon affairs there. The letters mentioned in the
said instructions, to be directed to noblemen and others here for the
musters, are not yet come. Newcastle, 26 Jan. Signed : Charlys Soffolk :

P.S. in Sadler's hand : A boat sent to Berwick to bring munitions to Holy
Eland, being driven back into this haven by a northeast wind, reports that
three great ships, Scots, have passed southwards this morning. Have
written to Basing to look about for them, and also to the Lord Warden to
learn what ships are gone out of Scotland. The Cardinal may be in one
of these three ships, so that it were not amiss to hasten the ships out of
Thamys to meet them, in case they escape Basing's company.

81. Sir George Douglas to Lisle.
Received his writings on the 24th and presented them to the Lord
Governor, who desires Lisle to thank the King for showing such favour to
this realm, and says that, if sure of quietness with the King, he would put
hands on the Cardinal and reform the whole Church as the King has
reformed England. He "thinks long" to hear touching the abstinence
and the safe conduct for ambassadors. The Governor minds to appoint
the writer first in the commission, who will then declare matters to the
King at large. Is still in the Governor's favour, and trusts so to continue
if the matter he showed Lisle of do no hurt. The prisoners came to Court
on Thursday, 25th Jan. Will not be plain with them, for their promise to
the King is not "kept counsel"; and therefore, if they write against him
to the King, Lisle will please to make his excuse; for he trusts to do better
service than they all, but must work as he has begun. Will certify how he
perceives the demeanours of the prisoners. Edinburgh, 26 Jan. Signed.

. . . The death of the King of Scotland, of which he wrote on
the 11th as doubtful, is true; but not that of his wife. He died of his
sickness. The French king is very grieved, and will do what is necessary
for the preservation of that realm, the government of which has been taken
by a Scottish count (fn. 1) "il quale dicono esser homo d'assai," in the name of
the wife and daughter. Things between England and that realm stand
as they were because this is not the season for war, "ma a tempo novo
non credo riposaranno altrimenti." * * * In Sandic vicino Ables

Instructions given to Sir Francis Bryan, Vice-Admiral."
The King has instructed the captain of the Myneon and the ships
with him as in the enclosed copy, and desires Bryan to join them in
Humber, if the Scots be not passed into Scotland. All the nine sail shall
then draw toward Orford Nas, seeing that the Scottish ships slip not by
them, and if the Scots are gone into Selonde and ride between Flusshyng
and the Rumkyns, they shall go in to seek them; but if the Scots are at
Camfere they shall draw northward again and wait. If the Scots are
escaped into Scotland, the nine sail shall draw northwards and do the feat
which George Reveley will declare.

84. Bonner to Henry VIII.
Wrote from Valentia, 13th ult., from Valdemoro, 8th inst., and from
hence, 14th inst., of things here. As Secretary Joyse, this 27th Jan., came
to say that the Emperor, having despatched into Italy, would despatch also
into England (probably about these marriages), and offered to convey letters,
thinks it his duty to write this. Yesterday Secretary Idiaquez was
despatched to Portugal. He carries either the dispensation for the
marriages Bonner wrote of or [news] of its expedition at Rome; and yet
it was bruited that letters from Rome upon the arrival there of the Duke of
Alburquerque were intercepted about Marseilles, together with letters from
the Bishop of Rome to this Court. Some think Idiaquez is also to solicit
money for this war, see the coasts that way furnished and provide ships at
Corunna, Laredo and the ports of Biscay, for which it is said that all ships
are stayed. All things sound to war, so that the Emperor if he go not to
Italy may be compelled to give better ear to Henry's friendship, which he and
his ministers profess to desire. This morning the duke of Alva assembled the
"cavallers" of this Court and, declaring that whereas last year the French King
took the Emperor by surprise and still continues his attack, commanded them
to come on the 28th inst. for their wages, and then put themselves ready to
be at Barcelone on Palm Sunday, unless countermanded. Don Alvaro
Bazan is captain of 7,000 Spaniards and of the armada in Galizia and Biscay,
which (some say) shall go into Flanders. Yesternight was published that the
Cardinal of Seville, president of the Courtes de las Indias, is deprived of his
office and commanded to dwell upon his archbishopric, and the Bp. of
Luego and Dr. Beltran, councillors of that Courtes, deprived and fined. A
doubtful report is that the long expected ships from the Indies are arrived
at Seville with much gold to help the Emperor in these wars. The Nuncio
has bruited, upon his letters from Flanders, that in the victory over the
Scots many more Englishmen were slain than Scots; but Bonner's report,
in accordance with the Council's letters, is believed. Madrill, 27 Jan.

87. Chapuys to the Queen Of Hungary.
The King arrived in this town four days ago, but Chapuys, who
thought to have then repaired to him, was attacked with gout and had to
send to the deputies to take his place and give him early notice of the King's
resolute answer, adding to other representations the instance which the
Emperor and the Queen made for it and the advertisement of Mons. de
Grandvelle. Thereupon they spoke with the King and consulted the rest of
the Council; and then sent word that Chapuys should have answer in
three or four days. Was expecting it yesterday when, towards morning,
the Secretary of the Council (fn. 2) came to report that letters had been just received
from their ambassador in France stating that the French boasted of having
surprised, on the side of Lorraine, a packet of the Queen's going towards
Spain, by which they perceived that the Low Countries were in such
necessity that, unless promptly provided for, they must be considered
desperate; and the French boasted that they would seize the opportunity
and hasten their enterprise upon the Low Countries. The King knew that
this might be a French contrivance, but he sent it in order that the
Queen might be advertised of it—and also, as Chapuys thinks, in order
to feel whether the extremity was so great there. Told the secretary, with
due thanks, that he held affairs there to be in good state, especially as the
subjects were determined to fight to the last (pour mesmement concurrer la
roulente des subjects d'employer le tout povr le tout); but, if the Queen had
written as the French said, it was but prudent, considering the importance
of the affairs and the slowness of the Emperor to provide for them on
account of the distance, and the necessity must be great as the Queen had to
oppose so many men on so many sides; but if the King would declare himself
he would find that the Emperor had not lost heart or power to bring to
reason the disturber of Christendom. The Secretary never mentioned the
rest, but Chapuys prayed him to help to the answer above said. Has also
sent a man for it. Affairs might have a better issue than he lately expected,
especially as there is some appearance that the King may without expense
obtain the conditions he demands of the Scots, which are much more
moderate than the first. Besides his great intelligences within the country,
the King will be much aided by the enmity between the Earl of Haren,
cousin german of the late King and governor of the Daughter, and the
Cardinal, caused chiefly by the Cardinal's affirming that that King deputed
three other governors with him, which the Earl maintained to be a lie,
since the Cardinal alone knew it. The altercation went so far that the
Earl put his hand to his sword, and, for fear of the Earl, the
Cardinal, who is all French, may procure to bring into Scotland
Mons. de Guyse or some other in his name to take
charge of the young Princess and the realm; which will give the
Earl occasion to seek assistance here, and Chapuys thinks that he will be
given the said government during the Daughter's minority, or absence from
the realm in case she come to be married with this Prince, [if?] he will
condescend to all conditions, especially to renounce the amity of the French.
It seems that, for fear of a French Governor coming thither, many of the
chief of the realm will take the Earl's part, especially the prisoners who
were here, who are all returned to Scotland save some who have not yet
been able to get hostages to take their place.
Forgot to write in his last that in the act passed in La Rochelle the
King of France added that he would not treat them so inhumanly as those
of Ghent were [treated]. The French ambassador will not leave this so
soon as he thought, as his intended successor (fn. 3) is ill. He has been twice
this week at Winchester's lodging, where Westminster was; but Chapuys
could not learn their communications. Asking the said secretary, yesterday,
what their ambassador wrote of war preparations in France, he said he
heard only that their courier met divers Almain captains going to Court.
Martin vand Rousse left ill content with the French King, who was still
more dissatisfied with him, and one of his companions named Planche was
arrested.
Had just written the above when the said secretary came from the King
with condolences upon Chapuys's indisposition and offer of physicians and
medicine (the King praying him to use what he needed without scruple
like the principal household servant in his Court) and to say that, desiring
much to speak with Chapuys, he had not sent his deputies sooner, but they
would be with him to-morrow. The King took in good part what
Chapuys told the said secretary, viz., that the delay troubled him most because
he saw himself so ill that, unless affairs ended soon, he could not be
the minister, and he would regret to die before seeing them completed,
doubting that he might be succeeded by one not well grounded in English
affairs or well inclined, who might spoil all.
The French Ambassador has to-day sent for audience. Does not know
when it will be granted or why it is asked.

88. Lisle to Suffolk.
On coming to Berwick, received of Hen. Rale (whom he sent into
Scotland) two letters from Arren. Half an hour later a servant of Sir Geo.
Duglas brought him a letter from Sir George and another from Arren
purporting "th'apprehension of the Cardinal." Encloses these letters, to
be sent to the King. The news of the duke of Guise's coming has pricked
this matter forward. The Cardinal was taken in the Governor's chamber,
sitting at Council. Sir George's servant, Robt. Spence, says that Anguishe
and his brother rule about the Governor, and the lords who were prisoners
depend upon Anguishe. Spence left Edinburgh last night at midnight;
and the Cardinal was to be sent this morning to Deykith, Morton's house,
four miles from Edinburgh, to be surely kept. There was a great stir in the
Palace upon the Cardinal's taking, and the Queen gave a great shriek;
whereupon Anguishe went up to her lodging and showed her "that it was
but a false trumping carle that should answer to certain points that he
had played;" and therewith she was pacified, "for she had thought the
lords had been together by the ears." Spence saw a priest trudge out of
the gate as fast as he could with the Cardinal's cross under his arm, and
told Anguishe, who answered "Peace, carle, he shall pay better than his
cross ere he hath done." Arguile's sudden departure was not because he
would not tarry Anguishe's coming, but because the Irishmen in his
country mutinied for their wages. The Governor has restored certain lands
which the late King took from Arguile, who has in return given up such
lands as he had of Anguishe's; and peace is made between them. Asked
Spence which of the lords that were here were called most to Council. He
replied "In good faith, whilk it please George Duglas, for he maketh all
the Council;" but Casselles went oftenest to the Governor's chamber. The
lords came to Court with but 40 horses, and none had been to their own
houses save Maxwell, whose house lay in the way. They all came to Court
together on Thursday last, when George Duglas and the Cardinal were at
dinner at Adam Otterburn's house in Edinburgh. No ships have
left the Frithe since the ships of war went; but three merchant ships laden
with fell, wool and skin are ready to go.
Henry Raie said that George Duglas would send to Lisle for wages of
his brother's men and his, and desired wages for 200 more men. Sir
George bade Raie say "that th'erle of Arren was a good young man, howbeit
that he did find him more rolling upon Friday last than ever he found
him," but that Lisle need not write it because he (Sir George) "trusted to
find him to his purpose well enough again." Spence says that Anguishe
has Teintallon castle again. Sir George bade Raie say "that he found the
lords which were prisoners very well inclined toward the King's Majesty
yet; what he meant by that I cannot tell.
Coming this day by Holy Island, saw the ordnance from Berwick ready
to be put into the ships from Newcastle. Has placed 600 or 700 of the
garrison men about Holy Island, to "defend the landing of these gallants"
if need be, and furnish the King's ships with fresh archers. To-morrow,
will cause Sir Geo. Lawson to set brewers and bakers to provide beer and
biscuit.
Suffolk will see that Sir George Duglas, in his letter of the 27th (sic, for
26th), by Raie, writes to Lisle that he mistrusts the prisoners writing to
the King against him and that he trusts to do better service than they, but
must work as he has begun. Knows not what he means, "for how he hath
begun or how he will end God knoweth." Arren's letters sound all upon
Church matters and touch no part of the King's purpose. Has written to
Sir George, by his servant, as in the copy herewith.
Forgot when with Suffolk to speak of a gentleman who was taken at the
great conflict in the West and embezzled away until Lisle had him brought
to Alnwick, as my lord of Duresme knows. His name is Steward, laird of
Rathsithe, worth 250 mks. a year and "as very a rank Scot as liveth."
Ric. Dacres, son of Sir Philip, bought him of a poor man and brought him
to Lord Daere's house of Morpeth, where he was privily kept until Lisle had
warning of it.
Asks what to answer if Sir George Duglas send for his month's wages,
which begin to-morrow, "for they have never an Englishman now in wages,"
or enquire whether the King will allow him and his brother for 200 more
men. Berwick, 28 Jan., at midnight. Signed.

91. The Council to Paget.
Are commanded to report the late conference between the King's
commissioners and the French ambassador, treating (as he affirmed, upon
a new commission) the marriage of Lady Mary and Orleans and the
pensions. The Ambassador, after much communication, stays at this, that,
by his instructions, he may not talk of the arrearages until after an
agreement for the marriage, and then he may commune of the satisfaction
of the remainder not deducted in the lady's dote, and that he may not
condescend to less dote than 500,000 crs. or greater dower than Queen
Mary had, "who had for her dote, in bargain," 300,000 crs. of which
100,000 crs. was only for reputation and not paid. The Commissioners
said it was strange to refuse to speak of the pension first, since he had always
been told that it was vain to speak of the marriage unless he first spoke
of the pension; and, for the marriage, offered 300,000 crs. provided the
dower was the same as Queen Mary had. And whereas the King told the
Ambassador at Christmas that, according to Paget's communication
with the French King, the difficulty might be removed "if,
as the French King would descend, so his Majesty would
mount in the assignation of the dote," it was now repeated that
although 300,000 is more than was paid with Queen Mary, yet, if the
ambassador could agree to a greater dower, the King would assign a greater
dote, in order that this treaty might take such effect as to maintain the
amity. The Ambassador promised to signify this to his master. In
communication, when pressed that the arrears should not only be spoken
of but paid whether the marriage took effect or no, to show his private
zeal for the matter and without reason, the Ambassador brought forth his
instructions and offered to show them, but added, "Why do ye not cause
the arrearages to be demanded there by your ambassador?" The King
commands them to commission Paget to do so and also to answer objections
heretofore made by the French King, instruct him as follows :—
To relieve the French king, when prisoner, the King made a peace
with him, dated at More, binding him and his heirs to pay the King
2,000,000 at the rate of 100,000 crs. a year, and afterwards a life pension
of 100,000 crs. a year; which was in recompense for 100,000 fr. a year
promised to the King by the French king at Arde, although that was
not specified in the treaty. That treaty "contained no recompense for the
wars for to facilitate the redemption of the French King himself."
Afterwards was made a treaty of perpetual peace, confirming the above
payments with the addition of certain salt, afterwards commuted to a sum
of 100,000 crs. yearly for the King's life and 50,000 crs. yearly to his
heirs. At that time the King made a league offensive against the
Emperor, to facilitate the delivery of the French King's children, and
entered war, contributing 512,000 crs. to the wars in Italy, besides other
expenses; upon covenant that if the French King or his heirs failed to
observe the perpetual peace the King might challenge his money spent in
the wars over and above the other payments. This league was made when
the perpetual peace was ratified at Amyas. The French King took peace
with the Emperor at Cambray, and agreed to pay 2,000,000 to redeem his
children; and the King also took peace, and lent the French King such
money as the Emperor owed him, and also gave 40,000 crs. "due unto
him upon a precious rich jewel which the Emperor much esteemed," at
that time sent by Sir Fras. Bryan to the French King. At which time the
French King delivered a writing (copy herewith) signed and sealed, the
original of which has now been shown to the Ambassador (and a copy
delivered him), which writing contains a plain confession that the King
has observed all his obligations in the war, so as the perpetual peace might
remain as a plain matter to be observed. This writing contradicts such
feigned inventions as to say that the perpetual peace was conditional or the
conditions were not observed. Since then Pomeray, when ambassador,
procured the King to agree to certain special articles; to which he would
not agree but with one special article (copy herewith) providing that no
violation or non-observation of those articles should violate or break the
perpetual peace.
If, then, the French Council or King would allege such matter as the
French King has done in derogation of the perpetual peace, Paget can now
show, by their own covenants, that no such matter, even if true, can impair
the obligation in the perpetual peace; not forgetting, for the King's honour,
to deny such allegation and add that, even if true, it could not, by Pomeray's
treaty, prejudice the perpetual peace. If it be replied that the King would
thus have all bargains observed to his commodity and himself observe none,
Paget may say that he observes all and yet, if "by his ministers or otherwise
anything were slacked or omitted," the perpetual peace should not
thereby be extinct; for, although not worded as if the King paid for it,
the truth is, as the French King's said writing declares, that the King
entered war, contributed 512,000 crs. and gave the jewel in contemplation
of the perpetual peace. So that, without the consideration of our title to
France, the danger of war and these and other expenses confessed in the
said writing were sufficient to countervail the surplus which the King has
by the perpetual peace over what he had before by the treaty of the More,
viz 10,000 crs. in salt and 50,000 crs. to his heirs. The French King, who
pays interest, as the Emperor likewise does, knows how much the forbearing
of so great a sum for eight years, ["the want whereof thus far grieveth and
nearly toucheth his Majesty that his Highness is enforced for want thereof
to press so much the more his subjects, whereby their occupying much
decayeth, diminisheth, and consequently our profits and casualties much
impaired]. (fn. 6) Such a debt ought to be preserved from all allegations and
only taken away by full payment or liberal remission.
He shall tell the French King how his ambassador answering "precisely
as afore," which the King thinks "no reason can condescend unto,"
concluded that, albeit the marriage took no effect, the princes should remain
friends, without signifying his master's intention about payment of the
arrears; and, as this treaty of marriage is stopped by the untowardness of
the French King's ministers, require him to order the payment of the said
arrears, considering that the duty is so clear, "being, for contentation of
his people and posterity, called a pension, but indeed a duty purchased
dearly."
The Ambassador was yesterday at Court, when the writers "noted certain
things unto him" which Paget shall also repeat to the French King, viz. :
(1) how the King's subjects are used at New Haven, as contained in Paget's
last letters; (2) how 15 or 16 English ships with wine have been taken in
French streams, which ships went to Bordeaux only upon the Ambassador's
promise for their safety; (3) how the ship of one Brigges, of London, has
been used at Poldavy, as shewn by the copy of his complaint herewith;
and (4) how within these five days 12 sail of Frenchmen and Scots chased
an English ship beside Wight, and afterwards entered by the Needles
into Hampton Water, and there took an English ship laden
with salt, which was rescued by the country, but her taker was conveyed
away in the night by the rest, who then denied that she was of their company.
To the 1st the Ambassador "denied his promise further than for
his master's ports," which appear to have been the worst places. To the
2nd he denied the commission or that there was any such captain there.
To the 3rd (fn. 7) he pretends ignorance. To the 4th, he brought in two of the
pirates who had escaped from the Wight, who denied both the chase and the
conveyance of the ship, which they said was a Breton and not of their
company. Offered to let him keep the said pirates provided he would see
them forthcoming, "yet he refused it and, without reason or regard, departed
from us." Paget shall "engreve" this to the French King, adding that if
not found offenders they shall be treated as appertains, and if "men of that
sort" the King knows well that Francis "would have them to know their
lewdness."

3. Deposition of James Rumney, master, Wm. Braye, master's mate,
John Grey, John Ruley, Thos. Dyxe, Ant. Symson, Wm. Dawson, Ant.
Smythe, Wm. Tylar and Robert Browne, mariners, of the ship called the
Anthony Brugges of London.
In Dec. last the said ship sailed from London for South Spain in
company with nine other ships until 30 leagues "ahead Ushente; and then,
by reason of a great leak that befell in her, sore weather and night season,
drawing towards the day," she was driven to leave the other ships and go
afore the wind to the nearest land, viz., into Polldavy Bay in Brytayne.
There, "being sorgyd," heard that Scottish ships were at Croydon,
thereby, and sent to the lord of the soil, Mons. de Nevet, who dwelt
six miles off, a present of red herring and cheese, desiring licence to
bring the ship into some creek to be amended and also protection
against the Scots. He agreed and promised, as ruler there for 15 miles
round, to warrant them against the Scots; and the ship was brought
into Polldavy creek and moored upon the mainland. After two days, a
Scottish ship called the Mary Wylloby came into the creek as near as
she could, while two others, the Lyon and the Salmon, surged at
the mouth of the creek. Forthwith the Bretons of the town with their
boats, landed 60 Scots out of the Mary Wyllowby, which also "shot through
the said Anthony and almost break her main mast." Deponents then
forsook her and went to Mons. de Nevett, who came with them to the water
side and spoke with the captain of the Mary Wylloby, called Carr. Carr
showed a sealed writing which De Nevitt read with reverence, and then
told deponents that he could not help them against the Scots, because of
their authority which he had read; but he would sell them half their ship and
goods (ordnance and some victuals excepted) and give them safe conduct for
a month to go and find the money. The Scottish captain likewise offered
to sell them the other half (ordnance and some victuals excepted) saying
that he should have but the half and De Nevett as lord of the soil the other
half.

4. Confession of "certain mariners" certified by John Hull, customer
of Exeter, Humph Colles, and John Charelles, steward of the Stannary under
my lord Privy Seal, as made to them, beyond Harfford Bruge, on Wednesday
last, 18 (sic) Jan.
That, fearing certain Scotch ships of war, they came into a creek
belonging to Poldavy haven, the captain of which haven promised to
protect them. Soon after, the Scots came and shot at and boarded them.
They appealed to the captain, who came with them to demand why the
Scots took "the said English ships," and the Scots showed a licence from
the French King, "to take any English ships within any port, creek or
place within his dominions." Thereupon the Captain and the Scots shared
the goods between them, which belonged to one Brugges, of London.

After delivery of their other letters to the post, the King commanded
them to write that the French ambassador here resident is "so wilful, so
proud and so glorious," and seems inclined rather to hinder than increase the
amity, in not admitting anything but what stands with his own fantasy,
that the King wishes it declared to the French King, with a request to have
him replaced by another of better inclination. This is to be set forth
"plainly."

93. John Orwell to Lord Maltravers.
Being master of a boat of Foullsto[ne] now lying at Feccam, had
come to Roan and was in the same lodging as a gentleman of the French
Court and a priest, a great beneficed man, who, not knowing him to be an
Englishman, talked much of the King and of the King of Scots' death,
which they said should be revenged shortly. The priest said that revenge
would not occasion the King of England to move war; for the duke of
Gwyse, father to the Queen of Scots should go in haste to Scotland with
20,000 men, mostly horseman, and much munitions (part of which were
already gone from New Haven to Brest and a great vessel load from Paris
was going to Humflyte to be shipped thence to Brest); all this should be in
Scotland before it was known, and then the French King would say that the
Duke went to fetch his daughter. The gentleman said that was "propenst"
in the Court 15 days past, and that much ordnance should also be sent after
the Duke, who should be "banished France;" for if the King of
England were not kept busy he would aid the Emperor, and
if it were not for the dread in Flanders of the King
of England they should have more friends there. The priest then said
"I doubt not, what with the help of the good duke of Cleve and his friends,
the Emperor and the king of England shall have as much to do as they
both may overcome." The writer then said "It were great dishonour to
so noble a prince so to dissemble with his very friend." The priest then
accused him of being an English spy and said Kill him; and the gentleman
drew his sword and put him in jeopardy. Begs that the King or Council
may know this conspiracy. Scribbled at Roane, 29 Jan.

96. Arran to Suffolk.
We have received your Sovereign's writings dated at Hampton
Court, 4 Jan., and (with others of our Sovereign Lady's Council) have
considered other weighty matters shown by the noblemen who lately
returned from his Majesty. The conclusion is that such matters cannot
be "dressit be writingis"; and, where the King writes that he "will na
ways be postponit be dryft of tyme," we desire all to be done with goodly
haste, and to that end exhort his Highness to grant safe conduct for George
Douglas, Wm. Hamiltoune of Sanquhare, James Leremouth of Dairsy and
Mr. Hen. Balnavis of Halhill, or three or two of them, with 30 horses, to
repair towards him, and also to grant an abstinence of four or five months.

97. Sir John Wallop and Sir Thos. Poynings to the Council.
Lately Captain Pallett brought Wallop a letter of credence from the
Captain of Arde, declaring that, the night before, Englishmen had fired four
houses at Rydlingham. He required Wallop to punish the doers or else (as
he had sworn very furiously) he would burn Ballingham and Anderne.
Wallop wrote his answer thereto to Mr. Treasurer, and need not repeat it,
promising to do justice if the thing was proved to be done by Englishmen.
Mr. Poynings and Wallop have since found that it was done by 80 English
soldiers and labourers, procured by English Burgundians. The principal
doers, Armestrong, Banester, one Gate, a soldier under Mr. Poynings, and
Pullen, a clerk of the works are fled; but the writers have 30 others in
prison and enclose their confessions. Guisnes, 30 Jan. Signed : John

increase between the King and the Queen his sovereign, a desire which
doubtless proceeds of a godly and noble mind as shall now appear by his
answer to the King's late letters. Reminds him that he meddles now
"with the most noble prince and father of wisdom of all the world," who
"will not be trifled withal in no case." Berwick, 31 Jan.

19. Vicarage of Wharompercie, Yorks.
Innotescimus of a charter of Edward abp.
of York, dated at Bolton Percy, 21 July
1541, to the effect that, whereas John, a
former abp. of York, ordained a portion
of the perpetual vicarage of the parish
church of Wharompercie to maintain a
vicar in that church and a chaplain to
celebrate mass in the towns of Thixindale
and Raistrope, for the infirm and sick,
now Marmaduke Atkinson, vicar of the
said parish church, has complained that
he is daily more and more burthened and
in debt, in consideration of which (and
the decay of the church and danger to the
souls of the parishioners in Thixindale
and Raisthrope, who, having the private
mass there celebrated for the infirm and
sick, absent themselves from other divine
services in the parish church) it is ordaind
that the vicar of Wharompercie shall in
future reside there, in the mansion of old
time ordained for that purpose, and that
there shall only be one mass celebrated
once a week in the chapels of Thixindale
and Raisthrope, by himself or another,

[the] Province of Canterbury," or any of
them which are, or shall be "for Sarum
use" within the King's dominions; for 7

authority, contrary to the laws of the
realm; and that the King wishes to have
them better done for the sake of his
subjects, who daily incur the danger of
his injunctions, proclamations and laws,
