March 1540, 21–31



[21 March.]	385. Harry Huttoft to Cromwell.
R. O.	Since your Lordship's departure I spoke with the King and showed him of the coming of Antony Guydott into this realm, and that there seemed no likelihood of anything being got from him towards my relief. The King, who seemed to have no knowledge of it before, asked what he would offer towards my relief, and I said that hitherto he would come to no manner reason. As the King seemed to know nothing of it before, I was afraid to speak about the pains taken by your Lordship. The King said that if he would refuse to do as appertained his body should be punished. I beg you will suffer your commandment to remain for his non-departure until we have at least got his and his wife's release for the house in Hampton; 500 marks to be paid in five years on his own surety, and half his debts to be recovered by both our means. Palm Sunday evening, in Kinges stun. Hol., pp. 2. Add.: Lord Privy Seal. Endd.
21 March.	386. Sir John Duddeley to Cromwell.
R. O.	Two or three days after my coming home to Dudeley, Andrew Flamoke and his son came thither to me, and the same night sickened both in a bed in my house. Next evening the son was dead, full of the marks. The father has a blain and there seems no way with him but one. They both came out of Gloucestershire from Mr. Poyntz. This country was clear of it before they came. Please be a mean for me to the King for the office of Kenilworth. (fn. 1) No man knows hereof by me but your Lordship. Is sorry to write it; for the King “shall lose a tall man of him.” 21 March. Hol., p. 1. Add.: Privy Seal. Endd.
21 March.	387. Wm. Wyse to Cromwell.
Harl. MS. 35, f. 270. B. M.	This present Palm Sunday, I being at mass, one Packe (sic) Walshe, merchant of Youghell, showed me that James Fitz Mawrice was slain last Tuesday by Maurice Fitz John, brother to James Fitz John of Desmond. God knows whether his death will lead to peace or busier war. My lord of Ormond, on Tuesday, parleyed with James Fitz John, whom, it is reported, lady Katharine Butler, Ormond's sister, shall marry. I humbly thank your Lordship for the recovery of my boy, Harry Wyse, as mentioned in my other letters by Mr. Saintlowe's servant. St. John's beside Waterford, 21 March. Modern copy, p. 1.
[21 March.]	388. Wyatt to Cromwell.
Harl. MS. 282, f. 236. B. M. Nott's Wyatt, 418.	Takes advantage of this bearer, Mr. Meredith, to write, as promised in his former letters, although there is little important. The Emperor has well entertained the ambassadors of the Protestants, and others are expected from Saxe and the Landgrave privately. Can learn nothing about the bp. of Lynden, except that he and the Chancellor of the Empire (fn. 2) are “at square,” and blame each other de re male gesta touching the composition last year between the king of Romans and king John. The Imperial ambassador in France has come hither. Peloux, who, as Wyatt wrote, went into France, takes his place till he return. Brisake has since come hither out of France. Chapuys the other day said, smilingly, that they divined that the duke of Norfolk had come to France to put jealousy between the French king and the Emperor and to revoke the bp. of London “that was not acceptable there, for words of equity wherewith he touched the French king.” He seems loth to return into England, and is not yet despatched, but Grandvela told Wyatt he would he (Chapuys) were there already. News from Italy of the 6th inst. is that the Bishop (fn. 3) sets an imposition on the goods of the Church for money against the Turk and the Lutherans. There is no certainty about the Turk. Money was sent yesterday to Doria to pay the galleys. Affairs with the Turk are not likely to be urgent, as the viceroy of Sicily was despatched hence “by journey.” Keeps Mr. Mantell to despatch if important events require. Nine of Gaunt were executed this week; 50 more are in hold, and 14 of them shall suffer this week. Has done his best for the bearer. Has little to do and reminds Cromwell for his revocation. Begins to wax unacceptable here, and his money is gone. Gaunt, Palm Sunday. The duke of Brunswick is here. A son of the brother of the marquis of Branbourgh, servant to the king of Romans, is gone to England to see the country. Please send me Mason with some resolution for my return. Draft, pp. 3. Endd. by Wyatt: On Palm Sunday, by Mr. Meredith, from Gaunt.
21 March.	389. Wotton to Cromwell.
R. O. St. P. viii., 284.	Received on the 18th both Cromwell's letters of the 12th. Had audience next day of the Duke, who said like offers had been made him long ago, but he would not forego Gueldres. He thanked the King for his friendly warning. Was told the Duke's ambassador had further instructions of things to tell the King. No talk of the Emperor's going into Almayn, and it is hoped he will begin no war against any prince of the Empire. Would write oftener if he had matter, but he is cut off from news. Reports what was told him by Ghogreve and Olisleger of the causes of the meeting of Paderborn and proposed marriages for my lady Amelye; also of the object of Norfolk's mission to France. The Emperor is believed to have persuaded Francis that he was sure of the friendship of England and the duke of Cleves when he pleased. Cornelius Scepperus of late advised the Emperor to make truces with the Protestants, and meanwhile recover Gueldres. Dr. Score, of the Emperor's Council, has said that the Emperor should not try the matter of Gueldres by law, for none of the German princes wished him to have it. The king of Hungary wishes some good way taken between the Emperor and the duke of Cleves. The Protestants will make no truce with the Emperor without including the Duke. Dr. Bourne, whom the Duke had sent to the Emperor for the investiture of Gueldres, is returned. Granvell said he had brought no authority, and would not even arrange with him about a time and place. Sends a letter from Ghogreve to Cromwell, and others to the Duke's ambassador. Cleves, Palm Sunday, 1539.
	Hol. Add. Endd.
21 March.	390. Christopher Mont to Wriothesley.
R. O. St. P. viii. 288.	Has informed the Lord Privy Seal how to communicate with him—through the Antwerp merchant Hans Pawer. Left Strassburg, where Count William remains, for Frankfort expressly to be able to send letters more speedily. Begs to know the King's pleasure as soon as possible because he is known here by several as the King's servant. The plague, besides, is prevalent, and he could not well accept the Count's hospitality longer without coming to some conclusion with him. The Protestants are holding a diet at Smalcalde, and Melancthon is there. All are waiting to see what the Emperor will attempt, and prepared to resist him. The writer's living costs more now that he is more known. The Landgrave is three days' journey from here, four from Smalcalde, and four from Strassburg. Frankford, 21 March 1540. Hol., Lat. Add. Endd.
22 March.	391. Cromwell to Sir Giles Strangways and Others.
R. O. [1537–40.]	The King desires them to examine the matter of the enclosed bills of complaint lately exhibited by Henry More and other inhabitants of Kilmenton, Somerset, against Wm. Hargill, gentleman. London, 22 March. Signed. P. 1. Add.: Sir Giles Straingwige, Sir John Horsey, Sir Hugh Poulet, knts., Nic. FitzJames, and Geo. Gilbarde, esqs., and to every of them or to three of them.
R. O.	2. Complaint of Henry More, of Kylmenton, Somerset, yeoman, against William Hargyll of Kylmenton, gentleman, and his sons, quarrelsome men of evil reputation, who have several times attempted to murder him for having demanded back a sow stolen by Hargyll's servants. Gives further particulars. P. 1, broad sheet. Add.: Lord Privy Seal.
R. O.	3. Complaint of Thomas Amys, of Bruham, Somers., husbandman, against John Webbe, alias Smyth, servant to Wm. Hargyll, of Kylmynton, Somers., who, having nine years ago stolen a mare and colt of petitioner's, and fled the country (though John Crase, one of his company, was put to death for the felony, and another, John Bryant, took Sanctuary at the Charterhouse of Witham) has returned and still remains with Hargyll. Relates circumstantially how he lately got Webbe indicted and arrested, but Hargyll and his sons immediately rescued him and next morning secretly sent him to the nearest justice and bailed him till the assizes. There petitioner and others complained of Webbe, but could not prevail; and petitioner, on coming home, was arrested at the suit of one of Hargyll's sons, brought before lord Sturton, where he was reviled, threatened, imprisoned and put in the stocks, and fined, and forced to find new sureties. Begs Cromwell to grant letters as Henry More has desired in his complaint exhibited herewith. P. 1, broad sheet, in the same hand as § 2. Add. at the head: Lord Privy Seal.
R. O.	4. Complaint of James Adams. Last Christmas, when carrying his master's shepherds their dinner, was assaulted by John, son of Wm. Hargyll, who with Wm. Mownter and John Alyn, were hunting conies in lord Ferys warren. On the following Sunday was struck by Wm. Hargyll as he came out of church, and would have been stabbed by his son if his mother had not plucked back his arm. Wm. Hargyll then “took the peace on” him and he sat in the stocks for a day and a cold night, until his friends paid 4s. for him and were his sureties. Many of the county of Somerset complain of Hargyll, his sons and servants. Hol., p. 1. Add. at the head: Lord Cromwill, Vicegerent and lord Privy Seal.
R. O.	5. Complaint of John Lambartt, of Kylmenton, Somers. On Thursday after All Hallows day was 12 months, whilst seeking his cattle in a wood called the Holt, he saw Edw. Huntley, Ric. Carpenter, and a boy John Gold, servants of Wm. Hargyll, of Kylmenton, set a masty dog on a sow of one Henry More and take the sow home to their master. Went to the curate of the parish and one John Lappame, friends of Hargyll's, and counselled them to advise him to send the sow home to Henry Smyth the owner. Hargyll and his servants were angry, and lamed two of the writer's cattle. On St. Leonard's day last Edw. Huntley, after some words, came behind the writer and wounded him with a bill and would have killed him but for one Wm. Taylor who was working near. His friends sent to Bruton for one who was “sene” in surgery named John Barber, who healed him, and had 20s. and a bushel of wheat for his labour. The barber said he heard Hargyll say he wished Huntley had cut off my head. When the gaol of the deliverance was, I took the peace of Hargyll and his servants, and they of me; there I paid 3s. 4d. However, as soon as he was come home, he put me in the stocks till I paid him 4s. 6d. Two or three days after, he sent the curate and one Wm. Leversegge to counsel me to meddle no more of these matters and he would make me an ale which would be worth me 20 nobles. John Webbe can bear record of these words. I desire that I may live in peace beside Hargyll, his sons and servants. Pp. 3, in the same hand as § 4, and addressed in like manner.
R. O.	6. Complaint of Richard Wynslow of Pen, Somers. Is likely to be undone by one William Hargell whose under keeper of Brucome Walk in Selwode Forest he once was. Hargell and his 2 sons and John Webbe have used to forestall and kill the King's game in the said walk, as more largely appears in a bill to lord Zowch, lieutenant of the said forest. Four years ago Hargell and his servants Edw. Huntley and John Frowde with two “bond” dogs took and killed a marked white boar in the forest. Told them they did naught to kill it and they said it was a wild boar. Replied no wild boar was marked. They nevertheless took it home and ate it. Hargell's servants took a sow with young, and after she had farrowed, ate the pigs and returned the sow to the forest. They killed a swine of Ric. Rodway and refused compensation. Hargell bade complainant kill 3 hogs of lord Sturton's that were about the lodge and said he would pay for them. Told him he had better first ask the price. He said he had had keepers who would bring him home a wain-load of hogs in a year, and offered that if complainant would bring him any stray horse or cattle he should have half the value. Left his service in anger. Was fined 40d. in the town court because Hargell said his spaniel had bitten a stranger's horse, but none could name either the horse or the stranger. Was also fined 20s. because Hargell said his wife was a scold, &c. Pp. 2, in the same hand as § 4, and addressed in like manner.
22 March.	392. The Commissioners at Calais to Cromwell.
R. O.	We have been in Calais since 6 p.m. on Tuesday and have not written to the King. We have not fully settled anything because the parties take time to declare themselves. 22 March. Signed: Robert Sussex: William Seint John: John Gage: Rychard Coren: Edwarde Leyghton: John Bakere. P. 1. Add.: my lord Privy Seal. Endd.

	394. Waltham Abbey.
R. O.	Petition of the inhabitants of the town and parish of Waltham to Mr. Ant. Deny, to obtain for them of the King the clock in the tower steeple which adjoins the west end of the abbey church and the east end of the parish church with five of the eight bells; for their said parish church, in which there has only been one bell since the days of Henry II., who altered the said church, being then a college, and made it an abbey, separating the same from the parish church that now is and reserving all the bells to the abbey. The abbey is now dissolved and they are unable for poverty to buy one good bell. P. 1. Add. at the head: “To the right worshipful master Anthony Deny.” Endd.
23 March.	395. Ralph Lane, the Younger, to Cromwell.
R. O. Ellis 3 Ser iii., 256.	Perceiving, by your letters of the 21st inst., your command to me addressed, for a due deliberation to be used in perusing certain books of one Sir Thomas Cantwell's, (fn. 4) parson of Hardwyke, suspiciously brought to a poor man's house in Whitchurche, and by me committed to the keeping of the constable there (that, if I found such books as were not meet for him to keep, I should advertise your lordship thereof, or, otherwise, permit the parson to keep them), I have used my best dexterity, and have sent you five books of the said parson. Three entitled Homeliarum Johannis Eckii, and dated A.D. 1538, the life of Sir (sic) Thomas Beckett, and a missal wherein the word “Papa” is uncorrected throughout. As these seem most suspicious, I have sent them in a bag, sealed, by this bearer. Hogshawe, 23 March, A° Regni Regis H. viii^vi. xxxi°. Signed. P. 1. Add.: lord Cromwell, lord Privy Seal. Endd.

Latin.
24 March.	398. Bp. Roland Lee to Cromwell.
R. O.	Wrote lately of the death of his fellow, Sir William Sulyard. Begs to know the King's pleasure in the articles following:— As Sir William Sulyarde and Justice Porte, of this Council be dead, would have learned men in their rooms; none other is of any help. Complained, at his late being with Cromwell, of the intolerable pains of sitting in causes every holyday and workday, and for three parts of the year, but two of them whereof the writer is one; which has brought many honest men to their death. Desires Cromwell's help that they may be three continually, and suggests that the King may depute one here continually in Mr. Sulyarde's room, Mr. Pakyngton to have Mr. Porte's fee, Mr. Holte Mr. Pakington's, and Mr. Hassall some augmentation, for he has but 5l. fee. Has sent the King's instructions by the bearer, his old servant, Thomas Fan, who is to ride also to the Lord Chancellor with the commissions for gaol delivery, whereof the writer has need. Of late one Richard Johns, of Elvelde, was heinously murdered. Durst not write of it heretofore, but now, by Mr. Pakington's help, he has the principal and accessories who hired the principal doer to kill him. Wishes the forfeiture of his goods applied to repairing Ludlow Castle; with the help of an old friarhouse kept for the purpose, it would repair the lodgings in that castle which be falling down. Thinks suit will be made for their pardon; it were pity to pardon such murderers, whose punishment shall be an example to others. Intends, with Mr. Pakington, to keep gaol delivery of the murderers on Tuesday after Low Sunday, and, if the law “caste” them, to make a spectacle to all other. Has not only been slackly paid by Sir Brian Tuke of the diet money for this Council, but charged yearly 20m. or 20l. “they (sic) have the payment thereof”: desires a warrant to be paid by Mr. Gostwike. Ludlowe, 24 March. Signed. Pp. 3. Add.: Lord Crumwell, lord Privy Seal. Endd.

26 March.	401. Marillac to Montmorency.
R. O. Kaulek, 173. (Almost the whole text.)	London, 26 March:—No news since his last letters of the 19th. Thinks the English, by the reports which they have obtained from divers places, have several conceptions all tending to the end which they most desire—to escape war for this year and remain at peace with their neighbours, especially France. Cromwell says a settlement is certain between the Emperor and the duke of Cleves. This will exempt them from assisting their new ally. People understand here that the legate, (fn. 6) nephew of the Pope, who they once feared had come to publish the censures of excommunication against them, and thus provoke the Christian princes to attack them, is returning shortly; “qui ne leur est moindre satisfaction d'entendre qu'on permette ainsi qu'ilz ont institué,” which is in fashion the same as ours except the refusal of obedience to the Holy See and the suppression of religious houses. They have heard that Montmorency's journey to Flanders is given up, and think the final resolution between Francis and the Emperor is not so near as was said. Assures them of Montmorency's going immediately after Easter, but they seem to give little faith to it, and say they are otherwise informed from Flanders. They interpret to their advantage that the Turk has made no truce with the Venetians or the Christian princes, but rather prepares his armaments, so that the Christian princes will have to defend themselves rather than make war on one another. These considerations, with the confidence they profess in Francis, make them give up all war preparations and turn their whole attention to the jousts, tourneys and pastimes they intend to make after Easter, before and after their Queen's coronation, which shall be about Whitsuntide. This King spends Easter at Hampton Court, and the writer will be there. French. Modern transcript, pp. 3.
[26 March.]	402. Thos. Lord Audeley, Chancellor, to Cromwell.
R. O.	I thank you for your letters sent by my servant. On the receipt of your last by the King's messenger I have sent you the King's commission according to the tenor of your letters. Walden, Good Friday, at night. Signed. P. 1. Add.: Privy Seal. Endd.
26 March.	403. William Wise to Cromwell. The letter noticed under this date in the Carew Calendar (No. 143) is really of the year 1538. See Vol. XIII., Part i., No. 606.
27 March.	404. The Marchioness of Exeter. See Grants in March, No. 87.
[27 March.]	405. Sir William Musgrave to Cromwell.
R. O.	Begs for pity and compassion. Has always borne a true heart to Cromwell next to the King. Cromwell has had an inventory taken of the writer's goods at Puttney. All he has is at his Lordship's service. Desires remembrance of: first, his right; second, his faithful service to the King both against lord Dacre and the Commons of the North in the Rebellion. Others of that country have been advanced for less; but he does not repine, if he may have Cromwell's favour and also the rents of the lands he had by his wife, giving surety for the child's (fn. 7) part. Desires to devise with Cromwell how he may best serve the King, so that he may return home in some honest estimation. His wife left him so far in debt and was so unnatural to him before her death, in consuming his goods by stealth, &c., that, without her lands or their value, he must go to prison for her very debts. Begs help and favour. Easter Even. Hol., pp. 2. Add.: Lord Cromwell, lord Privy Seal. Endd.: Marcii.
27 March.	406. Antony Kyngston to Cromwell.
R. O.	I have received your letters to me and Mr. Wye declaring the King's pleasure concerning the parson of Avenyng, called Thomas Trowell, and John Giles, his parish priest, and also concerning a preacher called Sir Antony, (fn. 8) and the vicar of Cowley. As for the parson of Avenyng and his parish priest, I know nothing of them nor anything against them. Sir Antony is not now here in prison, but is brought before you, by virtue of your former letters to Mr. Wye, upon sureties found that he should appear before your Lordship. I sent the charges against him by your servant John Motley and Thomas Coke. Since receipt of your letters, I have called his accusers again and sent you their depositions before Sir Edm. Tame, John Huntley, James Clifford, justice of peace, and me, and have enjoined them to appear before the King's Council. The vicar of Cowley is (by command of the justice of assise at the last gaol delivery) delivered to the bp. of Worcester, his ordinary, to be ordered in the Court Christian for heresies laid to his charge. Payneswyk, 27 March. Signed. P. 1. Add.: Lord Privy Seal. Endd.
27 March.	407. Robert Wye to Cromwell.
R. O.	To-day, 27th March, Ant. Kyngston and he received Cromwell's letters concerning Thos. Trowell, parson of Avening, and his priest, (fn. 9) Sir Anthony Parsons, curate of Strode, and the vicar of Cowley, about whom Kyngston has written. Does not know Trowell, and bears him neither grudge nor malice. But one, John Suewell, found in his mass book Thomas Bekett's name, written by the name of Thomas Byshopp and not rased, and would have attached him, but he brought Cromwell's letters to Kingston and the writer for his liberty. P. 1. Hol. Add.: Lord Privy Seal. Endd.
	408. Antony Kyngston and John Huntley to Cromwell.
R. O.	One Sir Antony, who has been a friar, and is now parish priest of Strowde, Glouc., is accused of ill preaching, and Mr. Huntley, a fellow of mine, justice of peace, has committed him to the Castle of Gloucester upon “accusement,” as appears by the enclosed bill Please let us know your Lordship's pleasure in this. Paynswike. Signed. P. 1. Add.: Lord Privy Seal. Endd.: Sir Anthony Kyngeston.
	409. Antony Kyngston and John Huntley to Cromwell.
R. O.	I have sent you up the vicar of Paynswike and also the bill of his accusation, which appears necessary to be directed to your Lordship under my master, whose Highness's pleasure and yours known, I will do my duty in the execution of justice. My fellow Huntley, who is a justice of peace, and I think we should have your Lordship's command in this matter. Signed. P. 1. Add.: Lord Privy Seal. Endd.: Sir Anthony Kyngeston.
27 March.	410. Sir Edward Wyllughby to Dr. Bellows or Mr. Popley.
R. O.	Asks them to obtain a letter from the lord Privy Seal to Mr. John Dyngley and Master Hunckes to discharge him of 15l. 6s. 8d., which he is bound to pay them for the offices and parks of Henley, which he has given up for the keeping of the King's studs. Trusts that Cromwell will see his younger brother, (fn. 10) who had these offices in reversion, otherwise recompensed. Has already written about it to Cromwell, as Sir Antony Browne, master of the King's horses, has willed him. 27 March. Signed. P. 1. Add.
	411. Barnes, Jerome, and Garret.
Burnet, iv., 497 (from Bonner's register.) Foxe v., App. No. vii.	1. Recantation by Robert Barnes, D.D., of the heresies for which he was convented before Henry VIII., and on which the King entered into disputation with him. Promises henceforth to maintain the necessity of true penance and good works, &c. In six paragraphs, each of which is signed by Barnes. The whole paper is also signed at the end by Will. Jerome and Thos. Gararde.
R. O. Foxe v., App. No. viii.(2).	2. Jerome's confession. “Be it known to all men that I, William Hierome, on myd[lent] Sunday last past, have preached erroneously, perniciously [and … at] Paules Crosse to the utter perverting of th[e]…. Which damnable doctrine I utterly detest and ref[use, desiring] heartily with earnest purpose to preach the contrary to the [utmost] of my power,” and renounce these articles following:— First, where I taught that no magistrate can make those things different which St. Paul calls indifferent, that is, bind his subjects by law under pain of deadly sin, I now say that whatever law the ruler makes “touching the restraint in this thing indifferent,” we, his subjects, are bound to keep it. (2.) Where I taught that “without works of penance, after I be once freely justified, I may be saved by Christ's passion alonely”; I now deny this and say that Christ's passion avails nothing men who do not repent. 3. Where I called the burgesses of Parliament “butter[flies, fools and] knaves with other words of reproof to the great defa[mation] of their name and office”; for this I submit to the King's mercy. I am ready to make open recantation of the two foresaid pestilent doctrines; as I have now learned of the King's Council and learned clergy “that I have not tofore learned.” Mutilated, pp. 2.
R. O.	3. [Jerome's recantation sermon] on the text “Et ecce duo ex illis ibant ipsa [die in] castellum quod erat in spacio, &c.” Pp. 6. Endd: Jerome and Barnes. Very illegible at the beginning. Printed in Townsend's edition of Foxe's “Acts and Monuments,” Vol. V. App. No. XXI.
28 March.	412. W. Earl of Southampton to Cromwell.
R. O.	When the strangers (fn. 11) that late were here departed, the King commanded me to appoint Portinary to accompany them and learn how they like the country; by whom his Majesty learns the great cheer you have made them, and how they have seen the Tower, ordnance, &c., and that each thing is well to their mind, especially the suppression of monasteries, which they trusted should be followed in Italy and elsewhere. The gentleman who belongs to the Dolphine told him privily he had charge from Madame de Tamps to make her commendations to the King, and a request, which he himself durst not utter, to give her two horses. His Majesty would gladly accomplish her desire, but has given away, to such strangers as have been lately with him, all his horses but one reserved for his own saddle. Yet he is willing to bestow him on her, and prays your Lordship, if you have, or wot of, any ambling horse or gelding, to help to get one for him. You shall send for the gentleman, as of yourself, and tell him the King is willing to satisfy her mind in that or any commodity of his country; and persuade him to tarry till Tuesday or Wednesday, when they shall be ready, for if his Grace should send over the same by a man of his own, percase their apparel, already appointed, would not be rich enough, though they be no worse than those sent to the Queen into Cleves, the Scottish king, or duke of Farrare. His Majesty has given order to the Master of the Horse for clothes, bits, and other necessaries; “though some respect should be had to the shortness of time, the holy days, and the work that goeth thereto, as gilt buckles, fringes, buttons of silk, and such other.” Praying you to advertise me of your opinion and of this gentleman's tarrying.

[29 March.]	414. Henry Dowes to Gregory Cromwell.
R. O.	According to your commandment, I was this day present at Mr. Jerome's sermon, and, as you desire to know how he demeaned himself about his recantation and the rest, the effect was briefly as follows:—After rehearsing the gospel of the day in English, about the appearance of Christ to the disciples going to “the castle of Emmaus,” he made a little preface, saying the iniquity of the world was such that he was compelled to write what he should speak, and not rehearse anything but what he had written, and that he wished he had acted so before; and he begged his hearers not to be hasty in taking his words, but join them with the sentences that came before and after. He then discoursed of Christ's Resurrection, rejecting partly by the way the view of St. Augustine and Theophilacte that the breaking of bread at Emmaus was the Sacrament of the Altar. But the articles he recanted were these:—1. That whereas he had preached at Paul's Cross that Sarah, Abraham's wife, betokened the Church, and that as she being a free woman had a free child without any condition, so we were justified by faith without any condition, he now protested that he had overshot himself, and that he ought to have joined thereunto baptism, penance, and the other Sacraments, which are ways and means for justification. 2. That whereas he had preached in that sermon that the magistrates could not make any laws, in things left indifferent, to bind men's consciences, he revoked the same as erroneous, bringing rulers into contempt. 3. That whereas in a sermon made in the summer he was now convinced by witnesses according to the law, that he had called the burgesses in Parliament butterflies, dissemblers, and knaves, he protested it was ill and slanderously spoken. For these articles he said he was convented before the King, who notwithstanding the heinous reports against him, heard him so indifferently and forgave him so mercifully that there was never poor man received like pleasure at any prince's hands. Here he entered on the praise of the King's virtue and learning, and the great mercy he had found in him, so that he wondered there could be any traitors “of them that had the fruition of his Grace's presence,” and wished himself the eloquence of Homer, Demosthenes, or Cicero to extol him. Then in opposition to those that “lived in voluptie” and took Christ's Passion alone as sufficient for their salvation, he showed there must also be penance “with contrition, attrition, and renovation, which Esechias, the Ninevites, David, Peter, and Mary Magdalene had,” adducing many authorities and texts. Lastly, he said that though perplexed, he was not confounded. He was compelled to deny himself, but was not the first that had so done; it was only a form of adversity, and he wished some men would learn to do the same. Stepneth, Monday in Easter week. Hol., pp. 3. Add. Sealed. Endd.

[29 Mar.]	417. Ric. Layton to Cromwell.
R. O. Ellis 3 Ser. iii., 211.	According to your letter I have sent up my servant to deliver such bills of the Portingalles (fn. 13) as I had of Ric. Hore, if he can sort them out of the other writings at my house there. Forasmuch as the Parliament now after Easter (as I hear say) proceedeth, there is one thing to be noted for reformation within the city of York, “which hath been the only decay thereof.” There be within the town 40, 60, 100, I know not how many, malt kilns. Every merchant makes a kiln and employs his stock in corn and timber to make malt. When the countrymen offer their malt in the market at 5s. a quarter, these corn graitters offer them 6s., and so buy up the whole market. They search for barley throughout Lincolnshire and bring it to York by water. They sell the malt to ale wives at their own price, and cause all the town to be ale tipplers; every idle knave gets an alehouse. Yet it is the best situated town for trade that ever I see, except London; balangers, crayers, and goodly vessels may arrive at the town side. Condemn therefore all the malt kilns, and they must return to trade in merchandize. Examine any man that knows York and he will confirm this; “yet may ye not give credence to Sir George Lawson, for he hath made, now of late, a great new garner over against his house like unto a King's great gallery, and thereby intendeth somewhat.” Your Lordship hath sundry times said you would send me beyond sea; if any occasion do occur please attempt and prove me in some small thing. Please let me know whether I shall come to London this Parliament and Convocation time, York, Easter Monday. Hol., pp. 2. Add.: Lord Privy Seal. Endd.
[29 Mar.]	418. Wallop to Cromwell.
R. O. St. P. viii. 289.	Wrote last, by Francisco, how the queen of Navarre would not let him come to her himself, but write by his secretary. Did so and got her answer. At the secretary's first repair to her he was put off till next day, and then till the day after, as she was interrupted in reading the message by being sent for to the French king. On Good Friday she gave him a private interview, and replied:—1. That the King was probably right that no good would come of the mission of the Constable and Cardinal of Lorraine to Flanders, but in the other articles she was sure he was misinformed, and she would net show them to Francis. She admitted that the legate Farnese had endeavoured to alienate Francis from Henry, but assured Wallop he could not prevail. 2. That the Constable's and Cardinal's departure is still far off, and there will be half a score journeys to and fro first. 3. The French King had reckoned on having some perfect assurance of his affairs on the return of Brisack, whom he sent to the king of the Romans; but Brisack only notified that the Emperor's ambassador would be there next day. He arrived on Good Friday and brought many fair words and more delays; at which Francis and the Constable were disquieted, and have less hope now in the Emperor. As the secretary was about to leave, the Queen informed him of a conversation she had had with the Nuncio, who told her Francis was to meet Henry at Boulogne, and urged her to use her influence against England. When the Nuncio spoke of Henry as a heretic and Lutheran, she praised his injunctions against those who spoke against the Sacrament, pointed out the difficulty of invading the country, and declared the French were more bound to England than to any other prince. She also defended his claim to be supreme head of the Church in his realm, and the Nuncio gave over. She also told Wallop's secretary, desiring him to keep it secret, that Francis had said, if he were inclined to make war, he relied only on the Constable, who, she was sure, would not seek occasion. Thinks the King should write her a letter of thanks, but if he write to Francis he had better not refer to her advertisements. Notes particularly what she said of Francis having no good captains except the Constable. That opinion may keep him in favour, for without it he should be in doubt, if matters go no better with the Emperor. He kept his chamber all day on Easter Eve, whether for displeasure or illness. Certainly both the King and he have been much disquieted since the return of the Emperor's ambassador. Francis departs at end of this week, either to Normandy or Fontainebleau. Every man thinks his going to Flanders is dashed, and nothing is said of the Constable and Cardinal going thither, or of the truce the Turk took with all Christian men at the French king's desire. But the great preparation he makes by land and sea is much spoken of. Speaks of his diets. Abbeville, Easter Monday. Signed. Add.: my lord Privy Seal. Endd.
	ii. News just received:—The capitulations brought by the Emperor's ambassador said, in the beginning, that the Emperor would keep his promise about Milan, but required time to speak with the Electors, and would be much occupied in Flanders and Almaign for three months. The rest of the conditions were such as Francis will not accept. Learnt this from Cattyllion and, “by means,” from the Constable's secretary. Add.: Postscripta. For my lord Privy Seal.
29 March.	419. Christopher Mont to Wyat.
R. O.	Reports his having met at Strasburg Dr. Udalricus, (fn. 14) who announced his arrival there to the Senate, and they, after making Mont a present of fish and wine, expressed themselves warmly in gratitude for Wyat's kindness to Udalricus in Spain, among other things giving him a horse. They favour all the King's servants for Wyat's sake. The Protestants are still at Smalcalde urging the Emperor to show himself a true prince, otherwise war will rage over all Germany. Sends compliments to Masson. Met in England, before leaving, a young German named Hans Bockle, who hopes the friendship he formed with Wyat in Spain will be perpetual. Frankfort, 29 March 1540. Hol.

The Kingdom continues as in my last, but there is great hope it will ere long be better. Peterson will himself explain the loss he has sustained in the purchase of his wood. He should have taken better care when making his bargain at Glaris. Told him plainly that when he got to England he would repent having undertaken a journey for such wood. It required no critic of bowstaves to tell that. Basle, 29 March 1540.

Corpus Reform., xxxix. 30.	* * * The Emperor begins to show himself much gentler. The meeting (congressus) of the Englishman with our King has somewhat subdued him. He has offered our King his choice provided he does not seek Milan; and for this the Constable is gone to him. In this crisis the Englishman will not fail (non cessabit), much less the Admiral, who is restored to his former honor and favor. Within a few months we shall see a great change. * * * 4 Cal.

30 March.	422. W. Frankeleyn, Priest, to Cromwell.
R. O.	After he had knowledge of the departure of the Earl of Essex, repaired, on Palm Sunday, to Hampton Court to see Cromwell. Showed my lord Admiral and lord Russell that he came to know the King's pleasure as to letters being devised signifying the Earl's departure to every knight, (fn. 15) that orisons might be made according to the ancient Statutes of the Order. They thought best, as St. George's Day was so near, to defer it and not move the King therein; but to-day Rougecrosse told me my lord of Norfolk's mind was that I should go to Court to know the King's pleasure therein, which I should be glad to do but that I have had a severe fever ever since I was there.

Need only add to what he wrote on the 26th that people here are sure the duke of Cleves has settled his differences with the Emperor, and that Dr. Barnes, yesterday, Tuesday, in a sermon, recanted the doctrines he had preached and desired pardon of the bp. of Winchester, who was present, for the outrages he had said against him, in order that the reparation should be as public as the injury.

31 March.	426. Thomas Treffry to Cromwell.
R. O.	Some Cornish cloth and tin, entered in the King's Custom books of Plymouth by Ric. Webbe, servant to John Servington, of Tavistock, in the names of Servington, and of Ric. Mayowe, of Tavistock, and shipped by Wm. Hawkins, of Plymouth, on Oct. 21, in a Spanish ship called the St. John, of Portugalett, Fernando de Muntelano, master, have been arrested in Flanders. Applies to Cromwell for a certificate by the King's Council as to the ownership. Certain Truro merchants, lately come from Morles, in Brittany, passing through Fowey on 25th inst., reported that an Irish lord (fn. 17) “(supposed to be the rebellion of Desmond)” has landed in Brittany with 30 men, and ridden to the French king, to have his aid against the King. Immediately on coming home, by lord Russel's commandment, went to Falmouth for the setting forth of the “forttlett” on the east side of the entry of the haven. Found there a ship belonging to one Pockocke, of Hampton, which was said to be laden with cloth, but was really laden with barley, and which, in spite of his requiring the master to stay, in the King's name, departed that night into Spain. Reminds him of his suit for a patent for keeping the said fortlett. Will then surrender his patent of the office of the custom of Cornwall. Has lost 100 mks. by the office, and suffered much from his journeys, in consequence of a hurt from a horse. Fowey, 31 March. Hol., pp. 3. Add.: Lord Privy Seal. Endd.

R. O.	On Tuesday in this Easter week, March 30, Thos. Awbre, of Old Kermerthin and deputy steward of the same under the writer's lord and father, (fn. 18) came to the mayor of New Kermerthyn, asking why he suffered the maces to be carried before him in Old Kermerthyn, and required him not to usurp upon the liberties of the King's town and franchise. The mayor said he would carry his maces there spite of his teeth. A scuffle ensued, and Awbre, a man of 80 years old, was taken to gaol and then to the mayor's house. Sent to ask the mayor to let him go upon surety, but he refused. Went himself with 4 or 5 servants, and the mayor raised a cry, so that 300 persons whom he had laid in bushment in the Shire Hall came in with bills, glaives, and clubs. They followed him till they came to the Market place. Had much ado to pacify them. Asks credence for his servant the bearer, John Wiggleye. Kermerthyn in South Wales, 31 March. Signed. Pp. 2.

31 March.	429. Sir John Wallop to Lord Lisle.
R. O.	I have received the King's packet and sundry letters from my lord Privy Seal, my lord of Norfolk, Mr. Treasurer, and Mr. Wrisley, with advertisements, agreeing to my purpose, especially the following in my lord of Norfolk's letter:— “Finally, ye shall understand that never prince with more affection and with more charitable dexterity hath and daily doth persecute such ungracious persons as do preach and teach ill learnings, or against any of the old ceremonies of the Church, than the King doth. Barneys, the friar, Garrard, parson of Honey Lane, Jerome, vicar of Stepney, hath recanted from their lewd opinions, and, to be plain, his Highness is of such sort that I think all Christendom shall shortly say the king of England is the only perfect of good faith. God save him! This present hour, Wrisley showed me that yesterday my lord of Winchester dined at London with my lord Privy Seal, and were more than four hours, and opened their hearts, and so concluded that, and there be truth or honesty in them, not only all displeasures be forgotten, but also in their hearts be now perfect entire friends, and in likewise the said Wrisley with the said bishop.” The French king lay yesternight at Pondremy and leaves to-day for La Male, a castle of Mons. de Guise in Normandy, and so to St. Germain's. Until then I cannot follow the instructions of lord Privy Seal and the duke of Norfolk. I beg you to mention this in writing to the former—not my lord of Norfolk's writing, but the receipt of my packet by John Brooke's man, this morning, the French king's departure and my repair to the Court. The French king's ambassador with the Emperor is daily looked for here. I wait here for my wife's coming, and if my lord of Sussex have any occasion to write before you, request him to inform my lord Privy Seal of the matters of France and communicate the rest to him and his colleagues and others of the Council of Calais that like the hearing of them. Of my lord of Eashekes' (fn. 19) misfortune I am sure you have heard. God pardon his soul! Abbeville, 31 March. Signed. Pp. 2. Add.: Deputy of Calais.

R. O.	Hopes the business that has been amongst them here will amend, and that those who have written otherwise than truth will have shame.

Calig. B. i., 348. B. M.	“Articles as well concerning the borders foranempst Scotland as the affairs of Scotland, to be delivered unto my lord Privy Seal from Sir William Eure.” (1.) On Wednesday, 24 March, it was proclaimed in Edinburgh that no Scotchman should resort to the mart in Flanders. (2.) The East Marches are quiet. If he could arrange it, 8 or 10 of the chief offenders on either side should be removed, the Scotch beyond Edinburgh and the English to Yorkshire. This would be a firm stay. (3.) There has been no redress of murders and manslaughters for 17 years, which has been the chief cause of violations of the peace. Redress can only be made by special commissions from both princes, the commissioners on neither side being borderers. (4.) If the rebels on both sides were exchanged, as is proposed, it would do much for the continuance of peace. There can be no Scotch rebels “reset” on the English borders but Sir Thos. Wharton, John Musgrave, keeper of Beaucastell, and John Heron of Chipchace can apprehend them, nor any English rebels in Scotland but Maxwell or Farnihirst can do the like. (5.) If these things were done, “a rish bushe might surely keep the kowe,” and the peace would be secure. When the King's pleasure is known about these matters and what is further thought expedient, will be glad to follow it. Pp. 2.
