26 Oct.	483. Henry VIII. to Suffolk.
R.O.	For his acceptable service in winning Bulloyn, and for a special confidence in him, has resolved to have him remain on that side (as the Council's letters to him and others will show) until affairs there are more perfectly established. Requires him to have a good respect to his own health, and, if the danger of infection at Calais be such as is reported, to remain with his attendants at Guisnes or some other place within the marches.

26 Oct.	484. The Privy Council to the Privy Council at Calais.
R.O. St P., x. 143.	The King has considered their letters of the 21st, with their former letters, and answered them as shall appear by certain articles and answers herewith.
	1. His Majesty much desires to know the certain number of all his men able for the wars on that side (marvelling somewhat that they have not already sent it), viz., at Callys, Guysnes, Hammes, Newnambridge, the Marshe and other places in Callys and Guisnes: and also to know from day to day what and where are the forces of the enemies both by land and sea. Knowing how things go there, he may the better direct his affairs.
	2. Minding to fortify Basebulloyn and the hill beside the Old Man, without which he cannot be master of the haven, the King will have them despatch over Thos. Palmer, treasurer of Guisnes, and Burgate, surveyor of Callys, for instructions; and if Sir Ric. Lee be able to come, his Majesty would gladly have him too, thinking that he will better recover his health here.
	3. Having this matter much to heart, and desiring that the Frenchmen should in nowise prevent it, if they have not yet laid siege to Bulloyn or intend to do so shortly, you shall send thither 3,000 picked footmen, carrying with them by land as much victual as possible, in the conduct of lord Gray of Wilton and such other captains as you think good, to lie, under the leading of lord Gray and Sir Thos. Poyninges, half in Basebulloyn and half on the Hill. For the fortification the King will send with speed 1,000 pioneers and workmen. Of the 3,000 men of war those that lie in Basebulloyn one week shall lie on the Hill the next, and for their relief when on the Hill tents for 2,000 men shall be sent with the navy. As much victual as may be spared shall be sent from Callys to Bulloyn by sea before the 3,000 men have consumed what they take with them, for the King will not adventure any great mass to Bulloyn till the 3,000 men are there. If siege is laid or intended and must be levied with an army royal, which in that case shall be prepared with diligence, the numbers and sorts of the enemies must be certified; for which purpose the King prays you, my lord of Suffolk (with such gentlemen as you think good), to remain on that side, meanwhile searching what number of Spaniards and others meet to serve may be levied in the Low Countries, if required. You, Norfolk and Privy Seal, with the rest, leaving the Commissioners there, shall return home, bringing all horses not meet for service there.
	As the last view of expenses sent by "you Mr. Riche" was from the entry of your charge, and very short and general, you shall send over a particular declaration of all payments since the King's coming thence.
	If Hertford and Winchester are gone, the answers now sent are not to be declared to the Cardinal until it is known how they have proceeded with the Emperor. Westm., 26 Oct. 1544. Signed by Wriothesley, Essex, Westminster, Browne, Wyngfeld and Petre.

R.O. St. P., x. 143.	3. "Answers to be made by the King's Majesty's commissioners to th'articles ensuing."
	(1) To the Cardinal's saying that "touching the renunciation of the amity with Scotland or the foregoing of Bulloyn, Ardre or Guisnez" his master would none of them, you shall answer that this is so unreasonable and so discrepant from the French king's own letter and the Cardinal's credence declared to the King in the camp, after Boloyn was won, that the King cannot think the Cardinal so much his friend as before (seeing he now returned with "so unjust and peremptory answer") and is sorry to see his "kindness not a few times showed to his master" so suddenly forgotten. (2) To the Cardinal's saying that his master would have Boloyn rendered by this treaty; for else, if he won it by force he would pay neither pension nor arrears, you shall say (words given) that the King is not so inferior to the French king as to fear his threats, and wonders that if he set so much by it he did not, in three months, rescue it, trusting that it shall be a dear Bulloyn ere he recover it. (3) To the Cardinal's saying that the Bishop of Rome laboured to dissuade his master from this assembly, you shall answer What does that matter to the King, who is not of the assembly? For the assembly which the Bishop means is that of the Emperor and the French king. (4) To the Cardinal's saying to Paget in secret that the Emperor went about the calling of a General Council, you shall answer "Quid ad Regiam Majestatem? As for his Highness' part, whensoever it be, his Majesty prayeth God it may be, as it should be, both begun and finished." (5) To the Cardinal's saying "that the French king had put himself to the Emperor's arbitrage for the pension and th'arrearages et ces aultres chosen" and, though they break off now, would be content to send commissaries to the Emperor therein, provided that the King would make like submission and send commissaries within a month (for else he thought himself discharged of his submission to the Emperor, and if it were deferred longer he thought himself discharged of the offer touching the pension and arrearages), you shall answer that the Emperor best knows what was submitted, and will keep his bond with the King (which both the bp. of Arras and the Emperor have declared to be except), and, as to their breaking off now, it proceeds of their unreasonableness, and, since, from their first overtures for peace "they have and do still diminish, and now at the last come to a self will," his Majesty can expect little from further treaty, and purposes no longer "to hearken to those ways," not doubting ere long "to hear them sing another song." (6) To the Cardinal's private talk with Paget touching the French king's forces, you shall answer that it is known how shamefully those by land ran away from their enterprises of Base Boloyn and Guisnez, and, although by sea they surprised and took some poor sick men and horses, "his Majesty doubteth not, by God's grace, if they dare abide it, to make them spin as fast away with sails as by land they did with horse and heels;" and yet when they were in their full pride on the sea his poor fishermen took 100 tun of their wine for Mounstrell, and he has victualled both Bulloyn and Calais.

26 Oct.	487. George Schulthes to Albert duke of Prussia.
R.O. (R.T. 148, f. 183.)	You already know of the treaty of the Emperor and Francis I., but with him of England it is not yet clear what way can be taken for his expenses, because he is an old heathen as you know. Long ago a King of England brought Brittany, Normandy and Picardy under tribute, of which the French king owed a great sum. Our people are with George von Rensburg who came out of France on the 23rd Oct. and reports that the Swiss and the men of war which the French king had against the Emperor and King of England are sworn again for three months, and the French camp lies before Boulogne, which the King of England captured and the French king wishes to recover. * * Nurmberg, 26 Oct. 1544.

26 Oct.	488. Edmond Harvel to Henry VIII.
R.O.	Since his last of 28 October (sic) (fn. n1) letters from Constantinople signify that Polin, the French king's man, departed thence on 7 Sept. with presents and favour of the Turk, who next year intends an expedition against Ferdinando, who is said to practise a truce with him for one year, contrary to the capitulations of the Almains to go with the Emperor against the Turks in Hungary next year. Barbarossa is returned to Constantinople with all the army. The bishop of Rome fortifies Parma and Plaisance, "and great plains hath been made of late about the said towns which men 'steem not done without suspicious cause." The peace concluded between the Emperor and the French king without your consent seems strange, considering how beneficial your league has been to the Emperor, "who is plainly thereby stained of credit and reputation in th' universal wordle." Frenchmen here make great cracks to recover Bolaine with arms. The Venetians are nothing satisfied with this agreement, always suspecting the Emperor, in whom they have now less confidence than ever. Venice, 26 Oct. 1544.

27 Oct.	489. The Privy Council to the Privy Council at Calais.
R.O.	Understanding, by your letters of the 24th inst. that the 2,000 soldiers appointed to be sent to Boloyn were not very willing to go, the King has taken order that such things as did most annoy the soldiers at Boloyn shall be holpen, and has therefore caused a great number of mattresses, flockbeds, frieze, canvas and such necessaries to be sent in conserve with the navy to Boloyn, and also laths, lath nails, tiles, pins and tilers to dress the houses. You shall comfort the men with good words, and appoint them captains who "may somewhat bear with the infirmities of the rest," and see them conveyed in good order to Boloyn. We send a letter received by the lord Chancellor from Ragoza, in order that you, Mr. Paget, noting such parts as touch the practices of the Turk, bishop of Rome and French king, may commune with Chapuys and see whether his opinion of French untruth is changed, who "was wont to speak to the King's Majesty largely in that matter." Westm., 27 Oct. 1544. Signed by Wriothesley, Essex, Browne and Petre.
	P.S.—Mr. Brereton, captain of the crew at Guisnes, shall return into England, and Nic. Arnold and George Pollard, jointly, supply his place. Victuallers returning from thence may bring away such empty "caske" as may be spared.

27 Oct.	490. Lord Wharton to [Shrewsbury].
Shrewsb. MS., A., p. 85. Heralds' College. Lodge, i. 178. Stevenson's "Selections." (Maitl. Club.)	Wrote to the earl of Angwishe, by Richie Grame, anenst the entry of the laird of Fentree, taken prisoner at Solemme Mosse, for whose entry the earl stands bound. Encloses the earl's reply. The credence was that he gave Richie a bill (herewith) of the names of certain noblemen and gentlemen who promise to be of the Dowager's part against the Governor, and asked Richie to let Wharton see it. Richie says that, on Tuesday last, Angwishe and lord Flemyng had much secret conference together; Flemyng requiring Angwishe to let Wharton know that he would advance the King's affairs according to his former promise, and to entreat that his lands and friends might be forborne by the inhabitants of Eshdail, Ewsdaill and Wacopdaill whom he fears,—as Wharton trusts that he shall have cause, intending them to annoy him this winter. On Wednesday last (fn. n2) was a meeting between Angwishe, Glencarn, Casselles and the sheriff of Ayre, who all agreed to stand with the Dowager against the Governor, as heretofore. The Governor intends to keep a Parliament in Edinburgh beginning 12 Nov.; and the Dowager to keep one in Stirling eight days after the other. The Governor lies at Edenboroughe and George Dowglas at Dalkethe. "There are many arguments of displeasure between them." Carlisle, 27 Oct.
	P.S.—Davie Yrwin, Scottishman, with whom I sent to, Robert Maxwell the lord Maxwell's letter which your lordship sent by last post, reports that Robert Maxwell, after reading the letter, said "Davie, how says thou? I think my father will come home again and will deliver the house and holds that he hath to the King of England, and I shall have no thank therefor, and he will deliver for his pledge Jok Maxwell my brother." Yrwin asked if it were not well that he himself should lie in pledge "ere that should fail"; and Robert Maxwell replied that he would never enter England as his father's pledge. Knows that Robert Maxwell has said in confidence that he will never deliver any house of his father's to the King's use, whatsoever become of his father.

27 Oct.	491. Anthony Birkes and Henry Lyghe to [the Council].
R.O.	We have perused the "estimate remayne" which my lord of Winchester caused us to make and sign, "which in some matters is now found more and in some less." To show your Lordships how much of the said victuals is perished we have made a true declaration of all things, save "drink and drink corn," for part of the malt, which to our estimation was 2,000 qr., was, for haste, received out of the ships without measure, and the mariners, at the next tide after the skirmish, went away with the rest, and also Mynours and Thorgood, who had all the handling and selling of the beer, are gone without showing us the reckoning. Whereas Mynours certified my lord of Winchester that there was 400 tun of beer in the town and haven of Bolloyn the "said" 3rd October, half of it must have belonged to men who went away for fear of the Frenchmen, for we cannot suppose that there is above 250 tuns. Where Gyles Harrison informed Winchester that he had in his store house 40 tuns, we received of him only 22 tuns. We perceive, by my lord Admiral and Council here, that your lordships gathered from our letters to my lord of Winchester that we had little or no help of the soldiers. To convey all the victuals lying in the haven and Base town up to the High town we had on the said 3rd Oct. only 24 labourers and a few of our own servants, and how should so small a number "survey" so much victual as we brought up, in five days, without the assistance of my said lord and the Council here, and also the great labour and help of the soldiers? We never meant to write but that we had their assistance to the uttermost. Bollen, 27 Oct. Signed.

27 Oct.	492. Hertford and Gardiner to Henry VIII.
R.O. St. P., x. 147.	Receiving his letters at Calais on Thursday night last (fn. n3) they repaired to this Court, and arrived yesternight at 7 p.m. At 8 p.m. came the duke of Ascott's brother, bp. of Turney, and the earl of Lalyine, to welcome them and promise them access to the Emperor whenever they would. This morning the said earl came again and, excusing that their lodging was no better (which indeed is very good), said that the Emperor would have them come to him "at afternoon." At afternoon the said earl and bp. of Turney returned and accompanied them to the Emperor's privy chamber, where they found him standing by the fire with the Viceroy, Mons. de Pratt and not many more. He welcomed them gently and read Henry's letters; and then, saying that he could not well stand, "sat down in a little chair by the fire, familiarly," to hear their credence, being diligent whenever they put off their caps to cause them to put them on again. Declared how untoward the French ambassadors were, how the French "had faced us" by land and sea, how their ambassadors said that the Emperor had abandoned Henry, how the Cardinal of Bellay said that if we lost Boleyn we should neither have arrearage nor pension and must be content within one month to take the Emperor's award, so that his communication consisted in threats, "with addition that the French king would spend his blood and realm ere he departed with Bolen;" how the French army by land bruited that the Emperor sent Orleans to recover Boleyn and offered him 3,000 Spaniards; how the army by sea, to make Henry's people murmur against the Emperor for leaving them in war, attempted to land men (but were well repulsed) and, having taken a hoy laden with soldiers, spoiled them and "set them on land, saying Thus shall we handle you now th'Emperor hath left you"; how the French bruit in Italy that they trust to recover Boleyn by the Emperor's help. Considering these bruits, and that, trusting in the Emperor's amity, he entered into a costly war, the King now required the Emperor to show himself such a friend as the treaty binds him to be, for if he regarded not this matter the Frenchmen would take a great advantage of him; and the writers' message was to require him to declare himself. For answer the Emperor declared how scrupulous he was to conclude peace with France before he heard from Henry by Mons. de Arras, his necessity, and the French king's submission to abide his determination concerning the pension and arrears (for of Bolen they then knew not); the French bruits would prove untrue, and he had refused them victuals or leave to pass through his countries, and at this time of year they could do no hurt. He seemed glad to hear of Henry's army by sea, and said that he would entreat the peace and keep his league with Henry, and whatsoever De Bellay threatened of the submission to last but a month he knew no such matter. Told him that to keep his league was not only to forbear to help the French or to treat the peace, but to declare himself enemy to the French king, and Henry's contentment signified to Arras had a condition which must be performed. "He said that was true, the performance of the treaty, which, he said, in his treaty with France is also reserved." Said then that, by the treaty, he must declare himself enemy to the French king incontinently. "Mary! (quoth he) therefore do I labour and travail to bring the matter to pass by peace, and (quoth he) I am in amity with both, and if I can satisfy both I will; but I know (quoth he) my first faith is to my good brother, and that will I not break." When the Emperor spoke of his necessity to make peace, the writers said he had handled that matter well to frighten the enemy into giving hostages, whereby the world took it that the Frenchmen had yielded; and when he spoke of the submission of the French king concerning the pension and arrears, and that of Boleyn, they knew not, the writers said, "that the article conceived by th'Emperor thereof speaketh not of anything in special, but generally," and it confesses that he could not take peace unless Henry were satisfied. Said also that the French need not say that they knew not of Boleyn, for, even if Henry had not taken it, the treaty mentions that he should have it and much more. The Emperor answered that he perceived all the sticking to be at Boleyn, which he could not desire Henry to leave, and which he supposed to be so fortified and victualled that the French would hardly attain it; and yet, considering the state of Christendom and the business against the Turks, he would that all means were used for peace, and suggested that some way might yet be set forth, as Henry's abating part of the pension for it or keeping it by way of gage. "This matter he spake in a thick speech and passed it over without staying," saying that he spake without knowing the French king's mind. The writers did not reply, and the Emperor then said that he would appoint Granvyl and some of his Council to "visit" the treaty with them, and would do as he was bound; and with demonstration of a desire to satisfy Henry, he dismissed them.

27 Oct.	494. Wotton to Henry VIII.
R.O.	Declared the effect of his letters of the 19th to the Emperor, who said that he was glad when Henry first required to have the duke of Alburquerque, and was still gladder that the Duke's services were so well accepted, but the commandry majore in question had been given 10 or 12 days before. Wotton said that was unfortunate, but there was a "claverie" of Calatrave now void which might be bestowed on Don Gabriell to begin with. The Emperor answered that that could not be, or he would have known it. Wotton then said "that Don Pedro de Cueva had another commandry and also that he that had the commandry majore given him now had also one, the which were now void." The Emperor's answer was that all were bestowed, for such things were laboured for as fast as they fell void; but Don Gabriell should have the next, and Wotton would not need to remind him of it, for he would not fail to have it in remembrance.

R.O.	The King's navy, now in good towardness to set forward, may, after seeing your victuals convoyed to Bulleyn, often chance to be divided in two parts. That speedy knowledge may be had of ships of enemies, and yet the country not troubled more than necessary, your Lordship shall order two beacons to be set together from the Downs to the Isle of Weight, in such places as shall be thought meet, and watchmen appointed to them with orders to fire the one if they see at least 10 sail of enemies. The country shall not move upon sight of one fire in one place, but when two fires are made they shall repair to the coasts; and the watchmen shall not fire both beacons unless they see the enemies land.
	As there is such scarcity of water in Bulleyn that the water gathered in a week will scarcely serve two days' brewing for the number there, the King's pleasure is "that, where you have made provision for victuals for vj^m (altered from mm.) men for the seas for xiiij days, reserving only of the said provision victuals for one thousand [men which] shall [a]llwayes remain upon the Narrow Seas, and such other proportion as Mr. Seymour, being viceadmiral, shall at this time require, of you, you shall take order that the residue of that provision with your other furniture of wheat and other victuals and provisions for Bulleyn" may be transported thither in conserve with the navy, which shall be upon the Narrow Seas by Friday next, (fn. n4) when the said provisions should be ready shipped.

The King, hearing that Madame de Tampes is at present entertained and feasted with the Emperor, doubts not that you will travail to get intelligence of their practices; but, considering that Cardinal Bellay said she was one of a few that bear good affection to the amity with the King, you are to meet with her, as it were by chance, and tell her that, knowing by Cardinal Bellay and others of her good disposition to the King and the amity of England, you could do no less than thank her on the King's behalf. Thus she will have occasion to utter something to you touching the secrecy of their practices, or at least you will see whether she bears such affection to his Majesty as is reported. Praying you to advertise all that you can learn, and the rest of your proceedings, with all possible diligence.

R.O.	Have this night received letters from Hertford and Winchester to the King, which they despatch over with diligence; but the tide does not permit them to answer fully the Council's letters brought over at this passage, showing the King's provision "for the relief of the poor men that be already and shall go to Bullen." As soon as the wind serves, will send victuals for 12 or 14 days thither for the 2,000 men which they send from hence, which victuals and men have been waiting these three days, for here is no provision to carry the victuals by land. Another 1,000 are not to be got here of the King's subjects, and therefore the King might get 1,000 Spaniards or Italians out of Flanders, or, failing them, take Mons. de Nevile, who is desirous to serve and will bring a good band. Will tomorrow write further. Cales, 29 Oct. 1544. Signed by Norfolk, Suffolk, Russell, Gage, Paget and Ryche.

29 [Oct.]	500. The Privy Council at Calais to Lisle.
R.O.	Have received his letters, and marvel at his writing that he hears by report of a large garrison ready to be sent thither and marvels thereat, seeing the scarcity of victuals and drink, whereof he has often written to them and has had no remedy. Require him to weigh their writings more deeply; for, as to the garrison that should come, they wrote in their last that the King had appointed them to send 2,000 to lie in Base Bullen and that they would send victuals for them for 12 or 14 days, praying him and the Council there to appoint Brix and Lee to take charge thereof, and that, having appointed the captains and petty captains here, they desired him to ordain a suitable chieftain over them, "whom we esteem to be Mr. Poynynges." Marvel therefore that the rest of the Council there "make so strange" of the coming of the garrison and where they shall serve. As to the victual that came thither in the ships, whereof he finds fault with the loaf bread, know nothing of it, and have never undertaken to see him furnished with victual; for they have here as great scarcity and have no remedy but to write into England as they advised him to do. Think that the lord Chamberlain sent him the ships and the loaf bread. The victualling made from hence of the 2,000 is of their own provision, and they will themselves starve if relief come not shortly. As touching the labourers, which he says should have been 1,500 and were only 900, of whom are left but 200, the writers have made search and can find none of them. "And yet if the pioneers and labourers be used there as we credibly (sic) informed they so be, that is to say, when they have laboured all day long, no order is taken either for their lodging or for their victualling, but be turned out to lie in Basse Bullen, where they lie open to th'enemies without any succours, the poor wretches are not much to be blamed." If this report be true he will do well to see a redress. As for pioneers to be sent hence, he knows there are none and he can write into England directly for them as soon as the writers can. As touching the Italian captain's entertainment the matter does not seem so important but that he and the Council there can decide it. As soon as the wind will serve for sending the victuals for the 2,000 men they shall repair thither. Pray him, eftsoons, when he writes of such important matters as he wrote last, to write in cipher.

29 Oct.	501. The Navy.
R.O.	"Articles touching the ships, whereupon to know the King's Majesty's pleasure."
	1. As the navy now appointed to serve is part at London, part at Harwiche and part at Dover, to know the King's pleasure where they shall meet and on what days they shall set forth? [2.] As the ship appointed for Sir Thomas Seymour, being admiral, is at Harwiche, who shall conduct the navy from London to the meeting place, and who the ships at Dover? [3.] Whether the victuals prepared at London, in Kent and in Norfolk, for Bulloyn, shall pass with the navy or tarry after them? [4.] Whether if the navy find no force of enemies they shall first pass to Bulloyn to see the victuals safely discharged there? And whether they shall send two or three ships to Portsmouth to waft the victuals prepared there, which wafters must take 4 or 5 empty hoys or crayers "because they lack shipping at Portesmouth"? [5.] The victuals conveyed to Boloyn, whether the navy shall remain upon the Narrow Seas, how long, or whether any of them shall annoy the enemies elsewhere, "and how the same shall be sorted?"
	P. 1. Endd. as above.
R.O.	2. Sir Thomas Seymour's "Advice."
	"To the first meeting of the King's navy it is thought good that the ships that cometh out of the Temes shall take their course through the King's Channel; and, as soon as they shall be descried at Harwyche, the ships rigged there shall set forth and meet with them, and so to come to Dover Road, where the ships being at Dover shall come to us. And in case that the Frenchmen should be in the Downs, or in the sea to cut betwixt us and Dover, and make toward us that cometh from Harwyche, that then the ships at Dover to follow in the tail of them, and to join with us as wind and weather will serve." The meetest place for the King's great ships to lie is thought to be at the Isle of Wight, from whence, if the Frenchmen would stop the passage betwixt Dover and Bolen or Calles, the King's ships may cut betwixt them and their own coast, and so drive them to fight or else go to Flanders or Scotland. Till all are together the charge is uncertain, and therefore a treasurer should go with the Admiral to pay for necessaries. Signed: Your Lordships' T. Seymour.

R.O.	3. "A memorial for Sir Thomas Seymour, knight, appointed by the King's Majesty to be th'admiral for this present of his Majesty's navy going to the seas, given the xxixth of October, a^o 1544."
	Taking order for assembling the whole navy from London, Harwiche and Dover at such place as, upon consultation in his presence, the Council agreed upon, he shall, above all things, see the victuals provided at London, Norf., Suff. and Dover, with all speed conveyed to Bulloyn. Item, that done, he shall lie with the great ships about the half seas and send a convenient number of small shallops and other vessels into the river to Estaples, to burn and bring away the enemy's vessels there, or do them such annoyance as the time will serve for. Item, after that exploit at Estaples, or also, if weather serves not, some annoyance done on the Normandy coast, Sir Thomas, leaving such of the smaller ships upon the Narrow Seas as the King has appointed, shall pass to Portesmouth to revictual the ships and bring thence to Bulloyn the grain, meal and other provision remaining there. Item, that done, he shall again leave the said smaller ships upon the Narrow Seas and, returning towards the Isle of Wight, "endeavour himself to endommage th'ennemies by all wayes and meanes possible."

30 Oct.	505. The Privy Council at Calais to the Council.
R.O.	Have considered the Council's letters received yesterday, and will do their duties, and, as for the men meet to serve left on this side, Thomas Palmer can inform the King of everything except of those appointed to Basse Boulloyn, of whom a docquet is enclosed. All the rest are gone over, save a "few sick and untoward men which desire nothing else but to go home; and here they die xv or xvj a day, and no marvel, for they lie so sluttishly and do all things so skittishly in the midst of the streets that men were almost as good pass through a jakes as any street in this town; and, as for Guisnez, is like a swine stye, so filthy and so full of ordure that when the men be come thither that be appointed, we fear the like death will ensue there; so as the third thousand that the King's Majesty would have levied here to go to Boulloyn cannot be made here, as we wrote yesterday, and trust to hear shortly from you his Majesty's pleasure concerning the levying of the same otherwise." With these letters go Sir Ric. Lee, Thos. Palmer and the Surveyor, as the King commanded, although Palmer can ill be spared, considering his charge of victualling of Guisnez and payment of wages, which the soldiers much desire.
	The enemies break off every day and are only held together by force. the Italian captain of whom they wrote, called Bartelmew de Cayers, is arrived here and says that the Dolphin and Admiral are at Hesdyng and their whole number of tag and rag is not 9,000 or 10,000, "a poor sort, he saith, God wot, and a wretched." If the Dolphin can assemble the Pickards (which is impossible) he will lay siege to Boulloyn. They begin to fortify Hardelo and have sent 200 pioneers thither. To Arde was brought on Friday night a little revictualment on horseback. Within it are 1,100 footmen and 150 light horses. The King being master of the haven, no siege can continue long before Boulloyn at this time of year. Advise that now, while the King's strength is upon the sea, wheat, malt, barrelled beef, butter, cheese, bacon and such other lasting victuals sufficient for six or eight months be brought to Boulloyn.
	Have just learnt from one who left the French camp on Monday that it was appointed to dissolve on the Tuesday (fn. n12) because of famine and ill weather, and that the Dolphin is gone to Amyens and Mons. de Vendosme to La Fayre.

30 Oct.	506. Sir Ric. Riche to the Lord Chancellor.
R.O.	According to his commandment, sends a brief declaration of receipts and payments since 24 Sept., which was "within five or six days before the King's departure from Bulloigne." Is anxious to declare his account. The books and warrants for his payments from 1 May to 9 July he thought not convenient to bring over sea; and they are at his house in London, with his commission. Begs that the King will appoint some one to take his account. Has "of th'encrease of money" about 1,300l. over and above the sum contained in the brief declaration, but cannot tell the certainty of that because Freman and Highame are at their houses in England, who had charge of the receipt under him. Has laid out money for horses, wagons, etc., for conveyance of the King's treasure, whereof he has had yet no time to ask allowances. Has received no money from England since receipt of the 40,000 marks. Begs suit to the King for his return, as he has been "evil pained of the stone and ache in my back"; and there is no cause for his tarrying, as money may be left with the treasurer of Calice, or Sir Ric. Southwell's clerk Myldemaye, or with the writer's clerk. Thus the King may be discharged of his "poor diet," and himself the sooner rid of his account. Calice, 30 Oct. Signed.

30 Oct.	507. Charles V. and Henry VIII.
R.O. [Spanish Calendar, vii. 241.]	"Ce que s'est passé le penultiesme d'Octobre entre les sieurs de Praet et Grantvelle et les ambassadeurs d'Angletsrre sur la communication heue le Mardi (fn. n13) Oct. 28. precedent."
	Praet and Grantvelle began by saying that the Emperor, having heard their report, charged them to persist that it should still be seen whether there is any means of appointment between the Kings of England and France, both for the sake of Christendom and of themselves. The ambassadors answered that they would indeed like to obtain what was reasonable in a friendly way, but saw no likelihood of it unless the Emperor pressed the King of France and declared war against him, as he ought; and finally they insisted that the said declaration should be made, to which the Emperor was bound, and which he ought to make for his own reputation and to silence those who might say that he got out of war by leaving them in it. Praet and Grantvelle then declared as follows:—
	The Emperor, considering that these ambassadors are their master's trusted servants, and also because of his own estimation of them and their good will to the conservation of the amity, wished them to be told, plainly, in justification of things past, what the King of England ought to think of the Emperor's endeavour to fulfil the treaties; and this seemed the more requisite as the Emperor understood that even ministers of the King had spoken in an irritating way (scrupuleusement) upon this point and that the English were among themselves maligning him as having unjustly and unduly treated peace and left the King in war. It must be presupposed that the cause of the last treaty between their Majesties was to force the King of France to satisfy their claims, by making the expedition and war therein treated; else there was no need to make the treaty, since there was good amity between their Majesties, and their former treaties were sufficient. The treaty being thus made, the Emperor wishing to proceed in good faith and respecting the great wisdom and experience of the King, especially in war, sent to him, last winter, the Viceroy of Sicily, Don Fernande de Gonzaga, to resolve upon the common invasion; which was arranged by another treaty expressing the number of men, the way, the time and the object, viz., to meet about Paris. Moreover, Secretary Paiget came to the Emperor at Spire, and, among other things, made the King's excuse that he could not send within the time agreed the whole number of men, but would send 30,000 into France for the enterprise before 10 June, and retain the rest for some good exploit upon the frontier, where he would be in person; and it was determined with Paiget (as the English ambassador resident, who was present, knows) that since the King could not furnish more men for the enterprise, and wished to employ the rest as above, he should send the 30,000. Thereupon the Emperor marched his army into France in accordance with the treaty (and that signed with Don Fernande and the determination taken with Paiget) towards Paris so far as has been seen, and might have marched further had he heard that the King's army did the like; in which case it is notorious that France was in danger and that they would have got what they wished. The Emperor, being entered so far without news of the King of England, found means to send the bp. of Arras to advertise the King of his position "et de ceste conjoncture irretrouvable." The ambassadors know the answer, that the King could not assist in the enterprise, and therefore the Emperor might treat peace with France, reserving the King, and withdraw himself from danger. The Emperor did so, and made an honorable treaty, as the ambassadors say, but not to be compared with what might have been had the King's forces co-operated, when they should have largely obtained their right from the King of France and assured themselves of him for a long time. To tell the truth, the Emperor might have more advantageously obtained his right before entering France, and have avoided the expense, but, to observe what he had treated and promised, he would never listen. It was to be considered that the King of France, seeing all the English forces besieging Boulogne and Montereul, sent almost all his forces on that side against the Emperor, and the Daulphin, especially, returned against him. The Emperor, too, maintained in the King of England's army, 2,000 of his best horse and 2,000 foot; and, moreover, had to sustain the war on this side of Lombardy and oppose the armada of Barbarossa in Nice, Genoa, Sienna, Piombino, Naples and Sicily. The Emperor having taken peace with France for so just causes and with the King's consent, neither the King nor his subjects have occasion to be irritated, and there is no one who, knowing the circumstances, ought not to hold the Emperor justified. What the Emperor had done to withdraw and dismiss his army was also to be considered, especially, to prevent the men of war going to the service of France; and that since making the treaty of peace he has refused to assist the French with victuals and with the services of his subjects, and also refused to revoke the Sieur de Buren and his men as long as the King of England wished to use them, and has commanded his subjects to assist the English with victuals. Omitting to speak of the complaints of his subjects of damage sustained in the English service, of which representation has already been made; having done as above for the observance of the treaty, it is no wonder if the Emperor desires, and was pressing for, agreement between the Kings, and was disinclined to enter upon the examination of the treaties and do what the ambassadors asked touching the declaration, having supported such incredible expenses and being under promise to the States of the Empire, whither he must go for affairs of the Faith and against the Turk. Besides, the French, to whom he has made suitable representations, and perhaps more sharply than the English think, to induce them to satisfy the King of England, allege causes against that King's claim, and say that they are reasonable because they have submitted themselves to the Emperor's determination. And, although the Emperor may neither wish to hold these causes good, nor to contradict those of the King of England, still, if the French think that they have done much by their said submission, in view of the ancient amity between the Emperor and the King of England and the enmity so often renewed between the Emperor and the French, the Emperor might be blamed if he proceeded to the length of examining whether he ought to declare against the French, who also, in view of what they have done, insist that he ought to declare for them. The Emperor prays the said ambassadors to take this representation as proceeding from sincere friendship, and to see that the difference between their master and the King of France may be amicably settled, in which the Emperor will do his best, and moreover will keep his amity with the King of England.
	The ambassadors' reply comprised the substance of what has been said on both sides, and also that they had fulfilled the treaty. Their army was in the enemy's territory at the time appointed. They laid siege to Montreul as the Emperor did to St. Disier; the duke of Norfolk was charged to pass the river Somme but, seeing that the Emperor stopped before St. Disier, did the like before Montreul and for the same cause, that victuals could not be conducted past; and some of those here approved it. The articles were to be understood as to do what was found expedient, and not to be taken precisely. Their army had given great support (faveur) to that of the Emperor. It would have been much more profitable to them to continue their enterprise against Scotland, which was more important to them than ten Boulognes, and where their King had sustained inestimable expenses, as the Emperor had on the side of Italy. Their support (faveur) had not a little profited last year at the conquest of Gheldres; and such a powerful army as they had this year on the side of Boulogne and Montreul, the finest that ever left England, could not but have come a propos to divert the French from the other side. They would not say that the Emperor had not fulfilled [his part], but they remained in war; and even those here were astonished at it and spoke of it, and it was not in them to keep the English from doing the like. The Emperor had accepted their claims as good and therefore could not make peace so as to leave them in war, whatsoever the King said to the bp. of Arras, for it was understood that their demands were reserved. They had trusted, and did so still, that the Emperor took hostages (by which the treaty was more honorable for him) for them as well [as himself], to constrain the King of France to do them reason; and, in any case, the King of France having since made war upon them, the Emperor ought, by the treaty, to declare against him; all the world will say that they are abandoned by the Emperor, and the French are already making profit of it; wherefore they prayed that the Emperor, in pursuance of the treaty and his honorable answer to them, would keep his first promise and constrain the King of France to do them reason, since their demands were reasonable.
	At another time, returning to the observance of the treaty, they added that if it was thought that their master had not observed what was treated for the enterprise against France (which astonished them, because they had as above fulfilled it, and had no notice of this until now, nor had the bp. of Arras spoken of it), and if that point was to be insisted upon, they would like to know at once, that they might provide accordingly. There was no need for the submission contained in the treaty with France, seeing that what they demand is already approved by the Emperor in the first treaty; and if the Emporer wished to use the said submission he should constrain the French to fulfil it. They did not wish the Emperor, who was already their friend and partner, to be judge.
	It was answered, on behalf of the Emperor, that his commissioners were not there to contend; but, as to the King's having fulfilled [his part] as well as the Emperor, the text of the treaty with Don Fernande and the writing passed with Secretary Paiget, (fn. n15) which were ready to be shown, taken literally as the treaty with England expressly stipulated, effaced the ambassadors' saying that what concerned the army was to be understood according to possibility and means, because Paiget expressly agreed that his master would by the 10th June march 30,000 men to co-operate in the enterprise against Paris, reserving the rest for employment at the frontiers on the sea coast. As to their saying that some here approved the siege of Montreul, Praet and Grantvelle knew nothing of it; but the advice of Mons. de Roeulx was not so, proposing four ways for marching forward. There was no comparison with the case of St. Desier, which is not so near the Emperor's frontier, who, before coming thither, had already taken Ligny and Comerey and stopped at St. Desier because the English would not march as Paiget promised, nor was any representation made to him against it. His abode at St. Desier caused him lack of victuals and great hindrance and cost; and if the English army had marched he could by advancing have avoided that necessity, as has since been demonstrated. But Praet and Grantvelle were not there to impute non-observance to the King, and Arras had no charge to speak of it when he was with the King; what was said of it was rendered necessary by the words of the ambassadors themselves, implying that the Emperor had not proceeded justifiably in making the peace with France, nor ought to regard it. (And the ambassadors would not look at the copy of the writing carried by Paiget). As to their army beside Boulogne and Montreul diverting the French from the Emperor; the French were almost all drawn away from that side against the Emperor, and everyone knew well that the said siege was not in order to force the King of France to do reason to the Emperor and the King of England, which was the aim of the enterprise. As to their claims against France having been held good by the treaty of closer amity, it was quite evident that the agreement was for each to demand what he would; but the things were not clear, and the King of England had largely relinquished them, indeed had disapproved the writing which, since St. Desier, was sent of the Emperor's demands, (fn. n16) and, therefore, notwithstanding that the Emperor by the treaty of peace expressly reserved the King of England, it did not follow that their demands were held to be clear. As to the hostages, it had been already answered, nor was there any likelihood of retaining them in order to compel the French to satisfy the King of England. As to the Emperor's declaring against the King of France for having made war not only against Boulogne but against Guynes, the cause was Boulogne, to the defence of which the Emperor was never bound (as themselves confessed), and, at all events, things past must be regarded as above, together with the two treaties, with England and France; and there would be time, since the war was for the present reduced to Boulogne. It would be necessary in any case to know if the king of France had 10,000 men in the field against pieces contained in the treaty. And for this and the above considerations it was expedient to attend to the pacification of the dispute, in which the Emperor did not intend to use the submission of the French. What had been said about that was only because the French seemed strongly to justify themselves thereby; and if the Emperor were to proceed to examine the point upon which the ambassadors insisted, he might be accused of lightness. As to their saying that they would not have the Emperor, being their partner and friend, become their judge, the French would have much more reason to hold him suspect. As to the Emperor's saying to them that he would observe the first obligation, it must first be known what that was, taking the two treaties, with England and France, in conjunction with the considerations aforesaid; and it was the more important to have regard thereto as they said that the thing so much concerned the Emperor's reputation, and as all the causes of the Emperor had been justified, so also should this be.

31 Oct.	509. The Privy Council to Hertford and Others.
R.O. St. P., x. 161. Haynes' St. Papers, 56.	The King, having seen your letters dated Bruxells, 27th inst., wills us to signify that your lordships, or else (if my lords be departed, "which is preter nostram expectationem"), you, Mr. Wotton, shall declare to the Emperor or his Council the King's answers in all points. Where it appears, by the Emperor's conference with you now and by sayings of the Emperor and Granvelle before, that for this new amity with France great foundation is made of the report of Mons. de Arras, you shall take opportunity eftsoons to talk of these things and say that, although you know not what report Mons. Darras made of the King's contentation for peace, you are sure that the King never showed himself otherwise contented with it but upon condition that the league with him might be fully observed and the articles written to you, Mr. Wotton, (fn. n18) agreed to. The King indeed said to Darras that, rather than put the Emperor in that imminent danger which Darras showed, he would forbear his demand for damages and indemnities, and remit thus much of the league; but now, the necessity ceasing and the French ambassadors' offers BEING SO UNREASONABLE AND DISCREPANT FROM THOSE OF THEIR OWN COMMISSION WHICH THEY HAD AT BULLOYN BESIDES OTHER FORMER COMMISSIONS, (fn. n19) the King doubts not but the Emperor will tender HIS AFFAIRS according to their league; and, considering that this sudden peace leaves the King still at great charge, WILL EITHER STRAIN THE FRENCHMEN TO THE KING'S LAST DEMANDS SENT TO WOTTON OR ELSE DECLARE HIMSELF ACCORDING TO HIS FORMER LEAGUE. Although the King thinks Darras made no other report than he ought, yet his word, not being authorised by the King, IS NO FOUNDATION for the Emperor's thus entering this great amity WITH FRANCE, and making so much of a new reconciled enemy while his ancient friend is not yet, according to the league, fully provided for. If it be true, as the French affirm, that the submission to the Emperor is made only for the pension and arrears, they have either abused him by offering to abide his order only in a thing which was already offered and not accepted, or else they practise to set a pique between the King and the Emperor by procuring that the Emperor should get the King to take less than the French King had himself offered. At the time of his conferring with Darras, the King was content to forbear damages and indemnities, although they had been offered by the French ambassadors, but he has since been put to such charges by the invasions of the French armies that he trusts that the Emperor will not think it reasonable to have any part of the damages remitted. And where they say that the submission was made for pension and arrears, and Boloyn not spoken of, you shall SAY THAT BOLOYN WAS THE KING'S BEFORE THE DEPARTURE OF DARRAS, AND ERE THE FRENCH AMBASSADORS HAD ACCESS TO THE KING; at which time Cardinal Bellay and the others offered payment of pension and arrears and damages, without mentioning Boloyn, and they "were also contented, when the Secretary (fn. n20) was despatched from them, that if the King had won Monstrell in the meanwhile it should have been none empeachment of the treaty which they did treat." They have therefore no cause to stick at Bulloyn, and the King has just cause to make larger demands, having sustained great expenses by French attemptates since the amity with the Emperor. The King desires the Emperor to consider these things, so that he seem not to forget his old friend for his new reconciled foe; and, as the King frankly entered the wars and contracted this strait amity because of the long continued amity between them, he doubts not but that the Emperor will either press the French king to agree to reasonable conditions or else declare him enemy and join his Majesty, as the treaty binds. You shall seek to get a plain answer; AND SHALL ALSO SAY THAT, IF THE CONDITIONS OF THE PEACE MADE WITH FRANCE ARE SUCH AS REPORTED, THE KING THINKS THAT THE EMPEROR WAS ILL COUNSELLED TO AGREE TO THEM AND SHALL BE WORSE NOW IF HE MEAN TO OBSERVE THEM, AS THE KING TOLD ARRAS, TO WHOM HE SAID NO MORE THAN THAT HE WOULD ADVISE THE EMPEROR TO EMBRACE NEITHER OF THE ALTERNATIVES AND, IN CASE OF NECESSITY, DE DUOBUS MALIS MINUS ESSET ELIGENDUM.
	Finally the King, being pressed by Darras (who says that if he had known he should have tarried so long he would not have come for 10,000 ducats) and also by the French ambassadors, has answered these ambassadors as in the copy herewith, (fn. n21) which he trusts the Emperor will take in good part and will now stick to him according to the treaty. In all conferences with the Emperor you, Mr. Wotton, shall join with my lords.
	And where you, Mr. Wotton, lately made suit to the Emperor for a commandry for the duke of Arberkirque's second son, and received answer that it was bestowed but the Duke's son should have the next that should be void; your lordships shall commend the Duke's services done to the King, and require the Emperor to give you, Mr. Wotton, leave to remind him of his promise when anything shall fall.

R.O.	Thanks for good opinion of them expressed in letters this day received from Petre. Have sent to Guisnez for John Albeige, the Frenchman, and upon his confession will proceed, as the case shall require, with the Cardinal at his return. Will take opportunity to devise with the Emperor's ambassadors touching the great entertainment of Madame Destampes by the Emperor; wherein Henry has cause to marvel, both for respect of the person herself and of the terms in which he and France stand. As to Norfolk's advertisements touching enemies upon the sea, marvel that he should write of any such let to the sending victuals to Boulloyn; for, although Norfolk professes a greater knowledge in sea matters than they, they are sure there was no such thing. The chief let was want of vessels, the next contrariety of wind. Of the one they have had store these three or four days, and have laden the whole quantity for fourteen days (and even today some of the hoys have been driven back); and the 2,000 men lie at Newnambridge ready to depart, tomorrow morning, at 2 o'clock, towards Boulloyn, under the conduct of Lord Gray, who will meet them at Sandingfelde with 400 horse and convey them to Wymille. For their furniture by the way they have in carts the victuals expressed in the enclosed schedule; and they will find there victuals for 12 or 14 days, by which time we trust you will provide more largely for them. They shall have 14 days' wages beforehand, and shall carry 2,000l. in money to the treasurer there for another month's furniture. Trust that lord Gray and Mr. Poyninges (whom the King has appointed together) will agree, for it is commonly seen that two heads do not advance the master's service so much as one, "except your Majesty mean that these two shall not meddle one with another's men. And likewise Mr. Pollard and Arnold be appointed by your Majesty's commandment, to the charge of your town of Guisnes," and all the garrisons in the Pale distributed according to your assignment, as Thos. Paulmer, the treasurer, will have declared. Tomorrow at noon my lords of Norfolk and Privy Seal pass the seas, with divers others, and very few soldiers will be left. The enemy's camp is clearly dissolved, the Dolphin gone to the French court and Vandosme to La Fayre. Mons. Daumale, Sainct André, Dompirre and other gentlemen remain at Abbeville dangerously sick. Death and sickness have been fervent amongst Henry's soldiers, but much more so amongst the enemies. Their army by sea is laid up for the year, and the greatest ship of them has broken her back; so that there is none stirring save nine sail of men of war, which waft their fishermen. Whereas Henry appointed certain men of arms for Boulloyn who are still here, some of them without horses, advise that (considering the scarcity of provision, and that certain light horsemen will serve for scourage there), they should repair into England and refresh themselves and their horses with their friends until the time come that forage shall be on the ground. Whereas Suffolk is to send over the platt of Boulloyn sent to him before the King's coming, he delivered it again to the King here. Calais, 31 Oct. Signed.

R.O.	The King, having determined to send thither, for a crew to lie in Basse Bullen and upon the hill by the Old Man, 3,000 soldiers and 1,000 pioneers, commanded us to send the soldiers thither under the leading of lord Gray, the bearer; and the pioneers should be sent out of England with the conserve of his army upon the sea, with certain mattresses, flock beds, canvas for sheets, coverlets, shoes, boots, friezes for coats, &c. We have advertised the King that only 2,000 men can be levied here, asking whether the other 1,000 may be supplied of strangers; and meanwhile we send the 2,000 under conduct of lord Gray, and some victuals are sent from hence and the rest shall be sent from Dover, and we trust your Lordships will according to our former letters order Mr. Brix to receive and dispense them. The King's pleasure is that lord Gray and Mr. Poynyng shall have charge of the said crew, one of them with half the crew lying on the Hill, and the other with the other half in Basse Bullen, and exchanging their positions weekly. For relief of those that shall lie abroad, the said navy brings tents for 2,000 men. It may please you, my lord Admiral, to appoint lord Gray like diet as Mr. Poynynges has, and take order with Mr. Treasurer there to pay the captains, petty captains, priests, standard bearers, drummers, surgeons, wiflers, fifers and soldiers, as appointed here; and we send Mr. Treasurer 2,000l. for payment of their wages. They are already paid for 14 days, beginning on Thursday last. Await knowledge of the King's pleasure for the levying of the third thousand.

31 Oct.	517. Hertford and Gardiner to Henry VIII.
R.O. St. P., 152.	On Tuesday afternoon, (fn. n22) according to the Emperor's appointment, came to their lodging Messrs. de Praet and de Granvela, with secretary Joyse. Repeated what they had said to the Emperor, concluding that it was expedient for the Emperor to show the world how much he regarded his honor in this behalf. Granvela, making no direct answer, said he perceived that it was now to be debated what was the Emperor's part as a common friend of two. Replied that, overnight, the Emperor had already debated and resolved that, as clerkly as all the learned men in Christendom could, when he said that he knew himself bound to both, but, because he was first bound to Henry, he must have first regard to that. Then Granvela began to set forth the Emperor's sincerity to satisfy Henry; and said that Boleyn was a great let, and means should be found to take that scruple away. Answered that they knew of no means but that contained in the treaty, and, that it was not Boleyn only (which, being won, could not come in controversy) but the satisfaction of the conditions signified, by Henry, to Mons. de Arras, whereupon was grounded his consent that the Emperor might make peace (and which not fulfilled they could not allege Henry's contentment), and so much was Henry inclined to peace that, although the French king had since caused him to spend much treasure, he had not augmented these conditions. Here Granvela began to put in doubt whether Henry had, by Darras, required Bullen in gage for the pension. Said that could not be, as Henry had won it, and the treaty capitulated that he should possess it; the Emperor had said that they should view the treaties and consider whereto he was bound, and they desired to do so. Granvela replied that the Emperor did not give them that special commission; and desired them for the sake of Christendom to help to a good peace. And so after wandering in words without resolution, because the Emperor was that day feasting his sister two miles out of this town, the writers prayed Granvela to remind the Emperor for their speedy despatch; and so they parted.
	Next day, heard nothing from Granvela, but, from an Italian who has means to know the truth, learnt that, by this peace, the French king gave hostages for the performance of his part and cannot have restitution of his places till he has restored all, so that the Emperor has "a gret furdel of him." On the other part the Emperor has the Viceroy and Don Francesco Dest to dissuade him from giving Milan, with the King of Romans' daughter, to Orleans ; the Lady Regent would not that Orleans had Flanders; and the Spanish nobles are against a marriage of Orleans with the daughter of Spain. If Orleans had these Low Countries he could not enjoy them till the Emperor's death,—and then only Flanders and Artoys; and if he shall have Milan he must wait a year, and then the Emperor will retain all the fortresses. The Low Countries say that if they should now be French they have spent their money in vain, the Venetians fear to be compelled to declare against the Turk, the Bishop of Rome doubts that if the Emperor, Henry and the French king agree they may call a Council without him, and that he shall lose Parme and Placence.
	On Thursday morning, (fn. n23) sent to Granvela to remember them; and, before 9 o'clock, he and De Prate arrived. Granvela began by complaining that "one in England" had reported that the Emperor had failed Henry; and made a discourse of the first conclusion of the treaty, and the conclusions taken with the Viceroy and with Mr. Paget, both for the direct going of the armies to Paris; then he declared the Emperor's going towards Paris alone and the request, by Darras, for Henry's army to join him, the Emperor's costs in the war and danger to have alone all France against him, and finally his taking peace with Henry's consent; and now, he said, when the French king offered to abide the Emperor's order, Henry required the Emperor to re-enter the war. Answered, regretting that any man in England should misreport the Emperor, that to take away the occasion of such report was the cause of their coming hither; for, the leagues having been proclaimed and the joint invasion of France made, what could people say, when they saw the Emperor triumphing in peace and Henry still at war, but that the Emperor had left him? The Emperor professing friendship to Henry, they wished to set forth his justification and were grieved to hear the bruits spread by Frenchmen "of the Emperor's fame"; but, since Granvela brought in the conclusions, with the Viceroy and Paget, they trusted that he would not touch Henry's honor therein, for the conclusions had the qualification which all such determinations of war must have, selon la raison de la guerre;—the Emperor first gave the example of that by laying siege to Ligney and Saincte Desire, and Henry did the semblable, wherein Darras found no fault; Henry's force was as big as the Emperor's, and in as great danger,—the only difference was that the Emperor finished his siege sooner, and thereupon a peace followed, which showed the common enemy to be afraid, else he would not have given hostages, and of that fear Henry was as much the cause as the Emperor, and ought to have his part. Since his peace with Henry the Emperor had won Gelders and brought France to reason, and now it was thought a great thing that Henry "should be anything the better";—if Granvela meant, by finding fault with Henry's proceedings, to declare the Emperor discharged, he should say so plainly that Henry might provide accordingly. Granvela seemed moved and said "it was not the fashion in this Court to speak so" and he intended no imputation on Henry. Replied, that, if the rehearsal of the articles passed with the Viceroy and Paget served no purpose, it was waste of time to speak of them and omit to speak of the treaties that were in force; and, where Granvela rehearsed the Emperor's charges, they could make like rehearsal of Henry's, including his enterprise in Scotland to prevent invasion from thence, and they noted that Henry then left his opportunity of winning the realm of Scotland only to observe the capitulations. As for Henry's contentment signified by Arras, told them "that they do therein like them that speak so much of God's promises and forget His conditions, which is the controversy in religion." It was incredible that after spending so much treasure Henry should be content that the Emperor alone had the commodity and should make his peace and let Henry shift. The French had, since that peace, "with thousands and thousands" invaded Guisnes, a place named in the treaty, whereby the peace is void and the Emperor bound to declare himself enemy. Where Granvela spoke of the French king submitting to the Emperor's arbitrament for the quiet of Christendom while Henry pressed for war; if the French king had made such submission the Emperor might cause him to agree to Henry's demands, but, failing that, the King must obtain his right by war; and, as for the great matters of Christendom, the Turk, the pacification of Germany and establishment of religion, they were nothing so weighty as this, on which depended "the trust and credit between princes." To make the Emperor an arbiter was wittily handled to pull him half way from Henry, but, for the latter, having the Emperor bound by treaty, it was not like policy to loosen him and put him away to be an arbiter, and then fall to entreaty, saying "I pray you let me have somewhat." Concluded that the Emperor's discourse was all that could be wished, but Granvela's would only make the matter worse. Granvela answered that the Emperor was privy to all he said. Told him "th'Emperor's resolution with us was that we should see the treaties to know whereunto th'Emperor is bound, for that he would observe." Granvela said the Emperor desired the peace of Christendom and would be loth to dispute upon treaties. Told him the treaties were plain and contained no matter of dispute, and found fault with the word "dispute." Granvela said he meant the word not for argument, but debate. Told him that when the French king was like to overrun all the Low Countries Henry "spent no time in debate nor dispute"; and, with a desire for resolute answer with speed, ended this communication.
	De Praet said little. As they had no commission to speak of the treaties and always "avoided the close," it is to be suspected that they seek to win time while they write to the French king. Being-promised short expedition, have delayed sending this, for, the Emperor having spoken so frankly, "we cannot think but the resolution shall be better than these men's communication should signify." This morning, Chamberlayn, the Governor of the Merchants, reports that the usher who kept the door while Granvela spake with Madame Destampes, yesterday, heard Granvela say that the French king must needs agree with Henry. Have this day solicited Granvela for expedition and are told that the Emperor will today debate this matter in Council, and is somewhat troubled because the Queen of Hungary is sick.

A commentary of the Emperor's doings at St. Dizier, prefaced with a letter of the author, Anthonius de Musica, of Antwerp, to Henry VIII., dated from the Emperor's Court, the last of October 1544, in which he explains that, as a commissary under Francisco Duarte, general provisor of the army, he had special facilities for knowing the truth, and concludes with a request to be taken into Henry's service.
	Don Ferdinando de Gonzaga, captain general, having provided for the keeping of the castle of Ligny (for the town was burnt by the Frenchmen's Italians) came straight to St. Dizier, having first sent into the Low Countries the counts of Briena and Roussi, brothers, lords of Ligny, together with the lord Deschene alias Tynteville, who was formerly accused by Sebastian de Monticulo of poisoning the Dauphin Francis and, after his acquittal, plotted with the Strozzi the seizure of the town of Marran. Proceeds with a minute account of precautions taken to guard the supply of victuals and of the course of the siege and subsequent movements down to the 31st of August.

R.O.	Reminds his "lordship" that he has been here long in prison upon a wrong report made by some Scotsmen, his "onffrienddis;" and begs Paget to move the King or the Council that his matter may be tried. Will refuse no gentleman of England "to be of my tryall," and, if found not to have been true prisoner and servant to the King, will accept the vilest death. If any Scotsman "yat hayss said it on me wyll bide at it yat I hayff fallyt in my lawteye to ye Kyngis Maisstye, no^t beand hes trew pressonar sen heys graceis gayff me my lyff and leberteye and leyff to gay in Scotland, I sail preyff ye contrarye on hem boddy for boddey befor quhat jwgis ye Kyngis Maisstye wyll commeyt tyll ws.

Begs to be brought before the Council, either to try himself true or receive his death; and trusts that my lord of Hartffwrd will speak for him, to whom, when in Scotland with the King's army, he showed his great trouble there for the King's sake. Can get nothing out of Scotland, and is ashamed to write how poor he is. If my son has not, since my coming here, done the King's pleasure he shall have nothing I can hold from him in Scotland, and my "mallasson"; otherwise I would beg the King to be gracious to him. All that I have said or written or offered to do and sent to the Council by Master Marsson, or any other thing that I have written or said, I will fulfil. Fears Paget cannot read his writing; but Mr. Lieutenant will suffer no man to write for him without the Council's leave, which he begs Paget to obtain.
