Repetition of the king's letters (p. 601, above) regarding the deposit of the proceeds of the prebends of the churches of York and Lincoln, omitting the clauses about desiring to find a way or form that would be tolerable to the king, adding that the king, out of affection for the cardinal, wishing to please him as far as possible, has caused 335 marks sterling to be paid to the cardinal's proctors for the value of florins found on deposit in London, which are mentioned in the cardinal's letters, and has ordered the florins to be taken for the king's use. The cardinal must not understand that the king is sending the money to him by reason of the deposit, but for an entirely different reason and of his special gift and munificence. The king is unable, by reason of the charges caused by divers wars and disturbances and hail-storms and labours and anxieties, to satisfy the cardinal for the arrears of the yearly pension that he granted to him, and he requests the cardinal to have patience with him in this matter. The king will cause him to be satisfied for all things as soon as more suitable times arrive. [Prynne, Records, iii, p. 934.]
