	"... but also the maister and ... y barks contrary to the truce ... [hi]ghness our most dread sovereign [lord] ... [Emp]erour to thentent that uppon compleynt to be ... n not only due restitution may be made but also ... as a violator and a breaker of the said truce may be duly ponyss[hed] ... is gracious lorde the Frenshemen of the said barke byn here ... have agreed with the Spaniards and redemyd theyr shippis agayne ... farther pursute; and because we would not suffer them so t[o do, they] are discontent with us, and some have used unsittyng words, [saying that they would] leve theyr shippis here, and the first Englissheman that ca[me] ... shulde pay for it, and the Spanyard thynckith we be ageynst ...

To prevent this, and considering that they have no authority to make delivery to them of their ships, have sent the masters of the two barks to Wolsey [to make their] complaints, and the captain of the pinnace "to make a[nswer for] hym and hys to the same." The pinnace was gone to sea before the arrival of Wolsey's order to arrest it and the master of it. The captain would have been gone likewise, but they arrested him as they wrote before. The town is in great necessity, owing to the feefarm and charges for the defence of the sea. Southampton, ... Aug.

Love Letters, XVI.	4597. HENRY VIII. to ANNE BOLEYN.
	Writes to tell her of the great "elengenes" he finds since her departure, "for, I ensure you, me thinketh the time lenger since your departing now last than I was wont to do a whole fortnight." Could not have thought so short an absence would have so grieved him, but is comforted now he is coming towards her; "insomuch that my book maketh substantially for my matter; in token whereof I have spent above four hours this day, which caused me to write the shorter letter to you at this time by cause of some pain in my head. Wishing myself specially an evening in my sweetheart's arms, whose pretty dubbys I trust shortly to cusse."

2 Aug. Cal. D. x. 350. B. M.	4601. [DEPUTY and COMPTROLLER of CALAIS to HENRY VIII.
	This day Thomas Palmer, sewer for the mouth, presented your letters dated Tittenhanger the 9th ult., to me your Deputy, granting him the captainship of Newnham Bridge, with certain soldiers of the retinue here, named in the placard to Sir Rob. Jerningham, late warden of the said fort, herewith enclosed. As Sir Ric. Weston, the treasurer, has left for England, the Council here has considered Palmer's grant, to which they find various objections (specified), and therefore cannot proceed till Weston return, and they hear further of the King's pleasure. I have had express commandment by various privy seals to put upon ordinary wages certain footmen appointed to wait upon Palmer, and it is impossible for me to follow both ordinances. My patent is long after the date of Sir Rob. Jerningham's; so that, though the lord Berners, deputy before me, put two of his retinue with Sir Rob. Jerningham, yet, considering that the whole number is expressed in my patent, and in that of every deputy before me, I trust you will see that my number ought not to be abridged. Calais, 2 Aug. 1528.

	He and the Comptroller have sent a letter to the King, signed with both their hands, of which he encloses a copy, touching the patent of Th. Palmer, presented yesterday. If he is to be keeper of Newnham Bridge, hope it will be on conditions suitable to their duties and privileges. Calais, 3 Aug. 1528.

3 Aug. Cavendish's L. of Wolsey, by Singer, 462.	4603. H. EARL OF NORTHUMBERLAND to THOMAS ARUNDEL.
	Bedfellow, after my most hearty recommendation,—this Monday, the 3rd of August, I received your letters of the 20th of July, delivered to my servant the same day at Newcastle, expressing the Cardinal's wish to have the Chapel books of my late father. I shall be conformable, though I trust to be able to set up a chapel of my own. "But I pray God, he may look better upon me than he doth," as I am no better regarded: first, by his detention of my treasurer, and his very hasty and unkind words unto him, not deserved by me also by the news blown all over Yorkshire by Mr. Manyng, that I am not regarded by the King or the Cardinal, as he will tell me when I meet him in Yorkshire, which will be this month. I fear my word to Mr. Manyng will not please my Lord, "for I will be no ward." My pains since I came hither are not better regarded; but by a flattering bishop of Carlisle, and that false Worm, I am brought to my present misery, and am in such slanders that the Cardinal cannot bring me out of them if he would. Will send four Antiphonars, such as "were not seen a great while," with other chapel books. If the Cardinal will give me leave to put William Worm into a castle of mine at Anwyk until he has accounted for more money than ever I received, I will give him 200l. and a benefice of 100l. for his College. At my monastery of Hulpark, the 3rd of August.
	Add.: To his beloved cousin, Thomas Arundel, one of the gentlemen of my Lord's privy chamber.
4 Aug. R. O. St. P. I. 323.	4604. HENNEGE to WOLSEY.
	The King, the Queen and the Princess, with all others in Court, are in good health. Suit has been made to the King for the abbot of Morgan, in Wales, and the King desires he may be sent home again. He wishes the benefice of Horworth for the duke of Richmond's schoolmaster (Croke), and is dissatisfied with the Chancellor of the Duchy (More) for letting Kelyngworth to Wyggston, which he intended for me. Norfolk, who has been long sick and absent from Court, intends coming tomorrow. On Tuesday the 11th the King removes to Windsor, where I hope he will meet with you. I moved the King this morning, according to your commandment, touching the wardship of young Compton. Ampthill, 4 Aug.

	Italian news. Cardinal Campeggio embarked at Corneto on the 25th, and will go by sea to Provence. I send the enclosed letter in cipher for him. Obtain a copy of his cipher, so that I may use the same in writing to both of you. Dr. Stephen [Gardiner] has quitted Venice, well acquainted with the great wrong done to the Pope, and is going to England with an intention to do good service to his Holiness. I hope the King is well disposed to the Pope. Viterbo, 4 Aug. 1528.

	Dr. Stephens writes that your Grace bids me send my horses to Lyons, to bring Campeggio and his company to Calais. As I cannot spare them, I have sent Dr. Stephens 200 crowns out of my purse, with advice for ordering the journey; of which I send you a copy. I reckon that Campeggio is now at Lyons, if he took shipping on the 23rd ult. My horses shall be ready to convey them to Calais. Begs he will write to Dr. Tayler, that his horses also may assist.

	The Imperial lanceknights have returned to their country, cursing, banning and begging. Naples is expected to surrender. Vaudemont, the cardinal of Lorraine's brother, is dead. Andrea Doria has forsaken the French. Master Stephyns is at Lyons, waiting for Campeggio, who took shipping on the 22nd. The French king is recovered, ut præ se ferat speciem miraculi.

7 Aug. R. O. Ellis, 2 Ser. II. 141.	4613. STEPHEN VAUGHAN to CROMWELL.
	Has found an iron chest, such as Cromwell wants, but fears the price, 8l. Fl., is more than he wishes to give. It is very strong and cleanly made, and 100 years after would be worth as much, with the loss of less than 40s., besides the security Cromwell would feel, when absent, knowing that his money was in it. Will buy it if he wishes for it. Asks him to see to the money coming from Clarencieux, and make an end for all his obligations. If Clarencieux is good to him, will do him more pleasure than he thinks of, if Penn or any of his goods come into these parts.
	Exchange is at 25s. Fl. for 1l. st. The slack trade is owing to the abundance lately coming, and to the war between the Gelders and these parts. Sent an answer to Cromwell's letter by a servant of Mr. Palmer's. Antwerp, 7 Aug. 1528.
	If Cromwell could get a licence for cheese they might both make much money.

Mr. Dean wishes all matters done as soon as possible, now at the beginning of my Lord's college. Has asked the subdean to give Cromwell information about other matters. Mawdlen College, Oxforth, 7 Aug.
	Hol., p. 1. Add.: To the right worshipful Mr. Cromwell, of my Lord Cardinal's council.

10 Aug. Add. MS. 19,401. No. 2. B. M.	4622. WOLSEY to JAMES V.
	As one devoted to your honor, I regret to learn that you have been alienated from the earl of Angus by those who seek your hurt more than his. His fidelity has always been regarded here as sincere, and the thing surmised against him sounds to the offence of the King my master. And though the King touches it but succinctly in the letter he now writes you he cannot but wonder at your conceiving suspicion instead of assuring your self by "making large answer for justification of the truth." If ever so virtuous a prince had intended getting you into his hands, there have been better opportunities, and, if he had meant it now, other orders would have been given upon the Borders, where answer was made at your request to assist you in repressing the broken men of your Borders, and apprehend such as came to England. Angus has done much to promote good understanding between the King and you. Hampton Court, 10 Aug. Signed.
