Eustache Chapuys to Anthoine Perrenot. (fn. 1) I fear that no wood will be found here to make a drum suitable for the bladder you sent me. I have all the rest of the apparatus to fit it up well and properly, but all to no avail, so that for lack of a drum the dance here will have to go to the sound of the horn, fitting music for the re-married according to the custom of our fathers. (cipher). What is worse, I very much fear that these people will be left by God in their obstinacy and abominations so that they may deserve future punishment. In any case, I shall do my very best to find a use for the parchment in question, exerting myself to the utmost and leaving the rest in God's hands without Whose aid matters will hardly be brought back to good order here. You may see by what I have written to his majesty, and to my lord, our Maecenas (Granvelle), all the latest news here, so I shall write no longer letter. London, 22 July, 1536. Signed, Eustache Chapuys. French. |
