The Prior of Naples, Knight of Rhodes, tells me that the King of England has appropriated to himself all the English revenues of the Knights of Rhodes, and made them lay down the White Cross; and from what the English ambassador tells me, his Majesty acted thus because they did not hazard their lives, still less their substance and revenues, against the Infidels, as they are obliged and bound to do, under penalty of confiscation of all their effects. | |

At Antwerp, a number of Portuguese, who lived as Christians and were in reality Jews, have been arrested, their synagogues and much other evidence to that effect having been discovered, so they can scarcely excuse themselves. Their purses will be cut, especially those of some of the chief of them, and it is believed that 100,000 crowns will thus be obtained. | |
Mons. de Granvelle has arrived at Worms on behalf of the Emperor, the persons appointed to hold the conference (colloquio) being already assembled there, and they are expecting the Papal Nuncios; may God grant that it prove for the benefit of the Christian religion. | |

After an interval of years, answers his congratulatory letters on Pole's election to the Cardinalate. Was prevented from replying sooner, first by the arduous negotiations in course at the time, and secondly by his sojourn in a province where there was no opportunity for the transmission of his reply. Has now made inquiries about Osio from some of his countrymen, (fn. 1) and sends him this letter, complimenting him on his success in life, which Pole anticipated, when he saw him studying at Padua, and now offers him his good offices. | |
