11 July.	1260. [Hertford] to the Marshal du Byes.
Harl. MS. 288, f. 74. B. M.	Mons. le Marechal, the castle of Brunnemberg is entirely within our limits, as will appear by the treaty [made by] the Admirals, of which you have the copy, wherein was concluded that the greatest heads of the springs "descendant de Pont au brycque damont" (should have been "au Pont de brycque") are those which divide our limits. It will thereupon please you to give order that your men may withdraw from the place, for the maintenance of the amity between our masters. As to the fort of Bullemberg where our Germans were encamped, it is true that it is fortified, as I had charge therein long before the beginning of the treaty, whereby was concluded that fortifications already begun (like Bullemberghe) might be finished. 11 July 1546.
	French. Copy, p. 1. Subscribed: A Monsr. le Mar^l du Byes.
11 July.	1261. Vaughan to Henry VIII.
R. O.	Rumours here are that the Emperor has coming to him out of Italy 30,000 Italian footmen and 1,500 light horse and, out of Spain, 10,000 Spaniards. From hence goes Mons. de Bure with 4,000 horsemen and 15,000 footmen, who muster at Bulduke within these six days and pass to Cullen, from whence it is uncertain what way they take. The Emperor will have 80,000 men and attack the Protestants in three or four places. The Protestant numbers are:—the Duke of Wirtzenbergh and cities of Ausburghe and Ulme, 24,000 footmen and 3,000 horsemen, the Landisgrave, 10,000 footmen and 6,000 horsemen, the Elector of Saxon, 10,000 footmen and 4,000 horsemen, Duke Morice of Saxon, 6,000 footmen and 3,000 horsemen, the Suysses 30,000 footmen. The Protestants shall be far stronger than the Emperor, all Almeyn being awakened. If the armies meet, there will be a bloody fray, and these countries are wonderfully fearful of the result. Trade is at a standstill. The King's merchants, among others, having "their utterance of cloth utterly stayed" will be the less able to furnish "those payments" next August. "It is said here by many that the angel and crown of the rose of your Majesty's new stamp shall be called down to a lower value than they be here current for; which maketh me use some stay in receiving the money owing by your Majesty's merchants till I may hear more certainly what will come of it. The most part of the money that hath been paid me hath been in angels, crowns of the rose and French crowns, and no sorts of moneys are more stirring here than those."
	Men think that when the Emperor learns the Princes' strength he will treat. Antwerp, 11 July.

12 July.	1262. The Privy Council.
Dasent's A.P.C., 481	Meeting at Westmister, 12 July. Present:—"The lord Chancellor the———(blank), the bishop of Winchester, Sir Anthony Browne, etc." Business:—Hulle, customer of Exeter, commanded by the Lord Chancellor to present himself daily to one of the clerks of the Council until dismissed. Richard Cheseman, of Lye parish, Surrey, sent up by Sir Matth. Browne for lewd words, was sent to Bedlem as he seemed in a frenzy.
12 July.	1263. Lisle to Paget.
R. O.	Requiring the continuance of your accustomed friendship, as mine shall never fail towards you, I send a letter received this day from my lord of Duresme, who is already at Boulloign, touching a matter wherein it seems requisite to know the King's pleasure, viz., "whether we shall make any capitulation for saving of the passing of the day which by the treaty the ratification should have been confirmed." If so an article must be added to our commission. Further, I send "a letter which my lord of Surrey sent unto my lodging this morning, wherein is contained so many parables that I do not perfectly understand it; which letter (if you think it meet) I require you to show unto the King's Majesty, with also (sic) to send me your advice touching an answer which I have briefly made unto the same letter, the copy whereof I do send you." Scribbled at Saynt John's, 12 July. Signed.
	P. 1. Add. Endd.: 1546.
12 July.	1264. A Singing Priest.
R. O.	Certificate by Sir Edmund Pekham, Chr. Lytcott and Paul Dayrell to Sir John Williams, treasurer of Augmentations, and Walter Hendley, attorney of the same (whereas Robert Cheyne is charged by indenture to pay 60s. yearly to a priest to sing in a chapel called Brokes Chaple, near Chesham, Bucks, and Williams and Hendley stay allowing him for this until credibly informed that such a priest is singing there) that Sir Edmund Clyftun, priest, has done service and said mass in the chapel for eight or nine years. 5 July 1546. Signed.
	Deposition of Robert Cheyney, 12 July, that the above is true in all points, and that he has paid the 60s. for 37 years, "and by this time of four years for the which the arrearages are claimed." Signed.
	Pp. 2. The certificate in Pekham's hand. Add. Endd.: Cheyney.
12 July.	1265. Hertford to Paget.
R. O.	I wrote last that the soldiers at the Blacknesse would finish their work by Wednesday or Thursday. They had done it by Tuesday night, (fn. n2) and on Wednesday I despatched them home. To know what the forts cost, I caused my house steward to pay them nightly their groat apiece, and the whole amounts to 190l. Never was such a work done so quickly and cheaply. Tomorrow the soldiers here, at the Master of the Horse's camp, will finish their work, so that it may be kept; and I have appointed Gaynesforde and Bagshawe with their retinues to keep it until the King names a captain. Now we only await the money which, you wrote, was in telling. The commissioners to be surveyors here should be hastened forward, for if such as take the ground are not placed now they cannot make their hay and provision and cover their houses against the winter. Bulloyn, 12 July 1546. Signed.
	P.S.—"At the enclosing hereof I am informed that money is arrived here, which maketh us merry."
	P. 1. Add. Endd.
12 July.	1266. Tunstall to Paget.
R. O.	Marvels to hear no word of the lord Admiral's coming. The time is so far past that the confirmation cannot be solemnly done by the French king at the request of the King's orators, because the last day is the 17th inst. Lest the French king should commission his orator there to demand the King's confirmation within the day, reminds Paget to send Mr. Treasurer, being there, commission to demand the French king's confirmation and oath. Doubtless this matter has been foreseen by the Council; but, not knowing what is done, and believing the lord Admiral's delay "to be upon some good ground," thinks it his duty to write this. Boloigne, 12 July. Signed.
	P. 1. Add. Endd.: 1546.
13 July.	1267. The Privy Council.
Dasent's A.P.C., 481.	Meeting at Westminster, 13 July. Present; Chancellor, Privy Seal, Essex, Winchester, "etc., ut supra." Business:—Warrant to Augmentations to deliver Sir Thomas Lewen, clk., paymaster of works in Boulogne, 500l. for affairs of his charge at the Blacke Nesse. Letter to Sir Thos. Trenchard to re-deliver to John Gravesend certain cloth (mark given) stayed at Poole and supposed to belong to Ant. Bonvixi, as it remains unclaimed. Barth. Fortune had duplicate of the letters (granted 18 May) touching Villa Monte's goods, as his man had been robbed of the others. Letter to Mr. Erneley that, on receipt of his of 7 July, the King thanked him for his efforts to apprehend those who robbed Fortini's agent of the aforesaid letters, and desired him to continue diligent therein. Barth. Fortini had also general letters to mayors, &c., especially of Bristowe and Meneth, that as certain wares taken out of a Portugal ship by those who sailed in the ships of Thos. Wyndham and Thos. Dale are not wholly restored, the pursers and mariners are to be examined, for the King is resolved to have everything restored.
13 July.	1268. Nicholas Shaxton.
	Pardon. See Grants in July, No. 49.

	Note, signed by Edw. Myldmaye, that Swinbourne appeared 13 July, and is remitted to the Court of Augmentations to obtain a discharge before All Saints Day or pay the money; "which long day is granted for that he is yet a prisoner to the Scots."

	ii. Receipt, same day, by Thomas Fesher.
	P. 1.
13 July.	1271. Oudart du Bies to the Earl of Hertford.
Harl. MS. 288, f. 75. B. M.	I have received your letter for the surrender of the castle of Brunenberg, as within your limits by the treaty recently concluded between Messieurs les Admyraulx; and stating that the principal springs descending from above to Pont de Bricque are the division of the limits. I have been advertised that the King your master is to send deputies to Calais, if they are not already there, to settle with ours the place of the source of the river which forms the said division during the time contained in the treaty. If so, please let me know the quality of the deputies, for I am empowered by the King my master to commission like persons on his part; also the time and place for their meeting. When Mons. l'Admiral withdrew those here the men at Brunenberg were not withdrawn, and therefore I beg you to leave them there until the Deputies resolve upon the limits. As to the fort at the Mont de Boulemberg being commenced before the conclusion of the treaty, so was that of the Mont St. Estienne which was discontinued because of the article touching fortifications. To extend that article to fortifications made since negociations began would not be reasonable nor in good faith. If that is made, so, likewise, shall St. Estienne be fortified. Richmond herald, this bearer, will tell the rest. Montreul, 13 July 1546. Signed.

13 July.	1272. Pole to Cardinals de Monte and Cervini.
Poli Epp., iv. 189.	Has just received their letter of the 11th, with copy of Farnese's of 30 June, and summary of the agreement made between the Pope and the Emperor for the enterprise of Germany. Can only express his sympathy with them in their continual labors, which he prays God to bless for the good of His Church. As to his health, is rather better than worse since he left Trent. Has been three nights without the need of getting up, and the daily exercise on horseback or in a carriage has rather been agreeable than otherwise. Two doctors of Padua, il Monte and il Frizimelica, who were here yesterday, consulted on his case and required him to be very careful, for if the evil be protracted he might fall into paralysis. They have left their opinion in writing, which is forwarded to Fracastoro. As soon as he has determined what to do, will communicate it by the Abbot of S. Soluto, whom he means to send to Trent to do reverence to Card. Farnese on his passage that way (deli), Treville, 13 July 1546.
	Italian.
14 July.	1273. The Privy Council.
Dasent's A.P.C. 483.	Meeting at Westminster, 14 July. Present: Chancellor, Great Master, "etc., ut supra." Business:—Thomas Pylkany, searcher of Dover, declared that before receipt of the Council's letter (of 23 June) willing him to restore 21l. 5s. to Peter de Malvenda, information had been entered in the Exchequer, so that it lay not in him to stop the process of the law. A poor priest named —— Buhner, presented by the bailiff of —— (blank) for gainsaying the Contribution, dismissed with a lesson. Letter to the Justice of Ireland "for delivery to such person as should be sent by the earl of Lynox [of] the bodies of Patryk McClane, the bishop elect of the Isles, and such his servants as were left in custody in Ireland." Letter to Wm. Goodman, alderman of Chester, who has the keeping of two barks, one of 28 tons laden with salt, and the other of 8 tons laden with empty cask and calf fells, taken about 3 June last in the river of Dunbritten by bearer, Thomas Denys, then captain of Goodman's ship, the Katheryne Goodman, to deliver the said barks and their lading to Denys in reward for his services.
14 July.	1274. Surrey to Paget.
Titus B. ii. 58. B. M. Nott's Howard, 229.	Perceiving by you yesternight that the King thinks his liberality sufficiently extended towards the strangers who have served him, I have done my best with fair words. On my faith, their necessity seemed such that it cost me 100 ducats out of my own purse "and somewhat else." Now remains but their passport and despatch from you, wherein it may please you to consider their great charges here. Coming from Boullongne in the way you know, I left there only two servants, John Rosington and Thomas Copeland, giving, for their services, to John the advantage of the play in Boullongne and to Thomas the profit of the passage. Lord Gray put them immediately out of service, notwithstanding the letters I obtained from you in their favour. Upon a better consideration John occupies his room, and my lord, to his own use, occupies the other's office, saying that I and my predecessors used it for our gain; which is untrue. In Calayes it was never part of the Deputy's entertainment, and it seems "to nere for a Deputie to grate unlesse it were for some displeasure borne to me." As this is the only suit I have made to you touching Boullongne, and the office was worth 50l. a year to the said Thomas, "being placed there by a King's lieutenant, which me thinketh a great disorder that a captain of Boullongne should displace for any private gain," please require my lord Gray to recompense him. As to the charge that I retained the office to my private profit, there are in Boullongne "too many witnesses that Henry of Surrey was never for singular profit corrupted nor never yet bribe (fn. n3) closed his hand; which lesson I learnt of my father and wish to succeed him therein as in the rest." As Copeland was by Mr. Southwell and me placed "of the Guard" there, pray grant him your letters for the obtaining of his wages, which Lord Gray withholds, and pardon my frankness which you know is natural. From ......, 14 July 1546. Signed.

14 July.	1275. Selve to Francis I.
Corresp., No. 8.	Since arriving, has written on the 4th by a courier of Francis's stable, on the 8th and 10th by the sieur de Combas, returning from Scotland, and now writes by the courier whom he has been detaining here. The Admiral of England set out last night and should be at Boulogne tomorrow. To his frequent enquiries the writer answered that he thought Francis would send the Admiral as soon as possible. Obtained audience of the King the day before yesterday, and found him quite recovered from his indisposition. He thanked Francis again for the intelligence from Germany which the writer had shown to Paget; and said that the preparations both of the Emperor and the Protestants were great, and, as it was to be feared that they might be turned elsewhere than to Germany, it was well to look to Piedmont and Lorraine. Speaking of the alliance of the Pope and Emperor, he considered that the exchange of Parma and Piacenza for Sienna was concluded. He asked if Francis continued the pension to the Duke of Bavaria now that the Duke had joined the Emperor; but Selve replied that he did not know that the Duke ever had a pension. Among other things during this long and gracious audience, the King said that the galleys from Provence were unserviceable in these rough seas, against him; but, if he and Francis were in amity, galleys might do wonders on the coast of Flanders, having always a safe retreat from storms.
	Was told yesterday of news in this court that Angus had been repulsed from Dumbarton castle, and that Lennox, who is here, was going with sixteen ships to the relief of those in the castle. Sends a copy of the roll of the armies of the Emperor and the Protestants, received from a German merchant here. London, Wednesday, 14 July 1546.

14 July.	1276. Selve to Annebault.
Corresp., No. 9.	Forgot to mention in his letter to the King that the Venetian secretary here has just told him that the Turk has sent a herald to the Signory demanding passage for an army into certain islands belonging to the King of the Romans, near Venice and adjoining Dalmatia, because of depredations by the islanders upon his subjects of Dalmatia; also summoning the Signory to pay the pensions due to him. The secretary said this was strange, if true. London, 14 July 1546.

14 July.	1277. Pole to Cardinals de Monte and Cervini.

R. O. 1546.	At my departure from London, Richard Broke, who has the rule of the King's galley, kept me company as far as Gravisend, "to keep the forsados in ure and breath, as they must continually be, otherwise they will be shortly nothing worth." Broke delivered me a memorial to know the King's pleasure for his own entertainment and new clothes for the "forsados" who have nothing to hang upon them. To keep her still with her suit of forsados the galley will be a continual charge; but in case the Admiral of France, at his coming, makes suit for her, and the King is disposed to gratify him, I would wish liberty first given to the forsados; for ever afterwards rulers of galleys will doubt to bring them near any of the King's navy or ports for fear of their rendering themselves to his Highness. If opportunity offers Paget might prefer this "simple purpose" to the King. Remember the young Italian named the County Fuascoo (fn. n7) "for whom I did move you at my departing, before Mr. Knevyt." Hearty commendations to you and my good lady, "to whom I pray you I may be excused that I have seen her since my coming home." Callayes, 15 July 1546.

R. O.	Takes the opportunity of this bearer's passing in haste to advertise rumors here. The Italians, Spaniards and Albaneyses from the King's camp are retained to serve the Emperor with the Countie de Buyre, "and passed by here yesterday." Buyre intends to enter the bp. of Colone's country and so towards Hassia, to stop the aid coming from the King of Danmarch to the Protestants and be ready to join the Emperor when required. He will be in camp by Sunday next. Martin van Rowse is in the bp. of Colone's country beyond the Rene, in the Duchy of Angarie nigh the borders of Hassia and Wesfalie, and has taken the Bishop's towns of Keyserswert and Bysshop Kempe for the Emperor, for the towns are not strong there. It is true that the County Palatyne has drawn away certain of the men appointed by Burye to serve the Emperor. As he wrote on the 7th, here is news that the Emperor has taken Oulme in High Germany and has a puissant army and many Germans with him; but no word of the Protestants' doings.
	In the matter which Mr. Reede and I have in charge we tarry for an answer in writing promised by the Commissaries, who must first know the Queen's pleasure therein. "One did send me yesternight a copy of a letter sent, but I cannot tell to whom, with the description of the Emperor's army" (copy herewith). Bruxelles, 15 July 1546. Signed.

R. O. 1546.	By Francis the post, on the 13th, received a letter from the Council commanding him to forbear treating of Jasper Dowche's offer to serve the King with a sum of money; and in nowise to emprunt to him any of the money which Vaughan has in hand at 1 per cent, till 15 Aug. The latter order has given him such a "frete" that he "shall not, upon the same, tune well his notes a good while"; for yesterday Vaughan was visited, first by a broker, then by Chr. Haller, and then by one of the sons of Erasmus Schetz, all of whom, as he guesses, were craftily sent by Dowche. The broker said that, understanding that Vaughan had a lump of money gathered to pay the Fugger, he could get a merchant of this town to pay 1½ per cent. for it and content the Fugger for the amount. Haller heard say that Vaughan had amassed a great sum to pay the Fugger on 15 August, and, because the Fugger was indebted to a friend of his in 40,000 cr., he would gladly that his friend had the loan of so much and he would get the Fugger to abate it out of the debt; or else that Vaughan should lend it to himself upon good sureties. Erasmus Schetz's son was the most importunate, who (after Vaughan had protested that he dare not lend any parcel of the money without the King's command, who was not a merchant nor esteemed so vile a gain as might be taken by emprunture of his money) said he had been desired by the Queen to furnish a good sum of money for the Emperor's wars, which he was unable to do, and therefore entreated Vaughan to show him "so much friendship."
	The Emperor seems seeking either to furnish himself for war with all money he can get, or else to draw into his hands all the money of the Bourse lest the princes of Almayn be aided thereby, or else he wants money to pay the soldiers now departed under Mons. de Bure, who, it is said, "maketh courtesy" to take charge of so confused a number, of many nations. Learns that the Queen is in great fear of this war, she hearing that the Landisgrave is already gone to destroy the bishop of Ausburgh's country and will afterwards destroy that of the Duke of Bavyer and proceed towards the Mountains to stop the passage of the Italians coming to the Emperor. Ausburghe, Ulme, and many other towns thereabouts have sent men to join the Landisgrave at the said passage. The Emperor is already there with 4,000 light horse to keep it for the Italians and Spaniards. Most cities of Almayn aid the Landisgrave. Andwerp, 15 July.

15 July.	1284. Vaughan to Paget and Petre.
R. O.	Writes to the King occurrents here and Jasper Dowche's practices to get the money emprunted before the Fugger's day. It seems as if the Bourses here, doubtful of the Emperor's success, shrink from lending him more money. The Count of Bure with a great rout of soldiers and no money for their despatch lingers here. Our mariners, coming with English ships from London, are ill used by the mariners of this town, and cannot leave their ships without danger. Lately "the mariners and other raskall of this town" beat and would have slain a couple of our mariners, drove them with stones into their ships and followed on board, "a thousand persons gaping and looking upon them." Our poor men compelled vim vi repellere shot "arrows amongst the thickest of them, whereof 3 or 4 were prettily hurt." The merchants not having here their governor or any man to care for them, Vaughan complained to the Margrave and Burrow Master, showing that such dealings might lead to retaliation in England. They promised to see to it, but have effected nothing. Wrote to Sir Edward Caern of this a month ago, that he should inform the Lady Regent; but has not heard what he has done. "No people I think in all the world, being so evil delt with as the King's Majesty's subjects be here, would so miserably continue their traffic in this town as they do." If the King has any musty corn it might be well sold here, for out of Estlande none will be suffered to come henceforth. Andwerp, 15 July 1546.

R. O. St. P., xi. 235. 1546.	The tumult raised in Germany, by the Emperor's saying that he would chastise certain disobedient persons, grows; for the Protestants, especially of the Smalcaldic League, think that he intends to exterminate their whole religion. There are many signs of his hostility to their religion, which in places under his power he proscribes, gratifying the Roman bishop (who pours out the treasures of the Church to suppress it) not so much from conscientious motives as from a desire to take away German liberty. The Germans, however, as far as their poverty admits, are arming, all the princes and cities in the League sending money and soldiers. They prepare two armies. To repress their adversaries and occupy places from which they may receive hurt, Augsburg, Ulm and the rest of the cities of Upper Germany have led their united forces into the field, and will be joined by the Duke of Wirtenberg. Besides their own men they have hired some Swiss. The Elector of Saxony will himself lead his forces against the bishops in Noricum and Franconia, as Bamberg, Wurtzburg. Passau; and he will join his forces to the others, for there it is thought that the Emperor will be strongest. The Landgrave has sent forces to occupy the Rhine and will protect the Protestants from the side of Brabant, where vast preparations are said to be made, lest the Imperialists get hold of Cologne, which is the door of Lower Germany and the Rhine. Within a few days the Saxon and the Landgrave will lead out their men, making haste as they know how vast and scattered the Emperor's forces are. Many thousands of foot and horse are coming from Italy, part sent by the Roman bishop and part hired by the Emperor, and there is constant report that Gonzaga, the Duke of Camerino, Colonna Fabritius, the princes of Tarentum and Salmona and other great captains are coming; also that the bps. and clergy of Spain have promised the Emperor much money for the extermination of the Lutheran doctrine (as they call it) and that the Cardinals and Roman bishop have promised to deal with the French king, if necessary, so that he may lend no help to the Germans. Hears nothing certain of the number of the Emperor's forces but a vast number of men is enrolled in Austria, Styria, Bohemia, and the rest of the Emperor's countries. The Duke of Bavaria, Margrave Albert, and certain bishops lend all their strength to the Emperor, who also exacts a subsidy of money from the Catholics. The Elector Palatine is now deliberating with his nobles what to do, and many suspect that he will not help either side. The fidelity of Nurnberg is doubtful, as they say that the Emperor is not preparing war against religion and promise themselves security. Duke Maurice is prepared and stays at home within Saxony to defend it, an attack from Bohemia being feared. The Duke of Wirtenberg might have taken the Master of the Order of the Teutons had not the latter's servants, fighting fiercely, by their own death purchased time for their master to escape. The Landgrave has pursued horsemen and footmen going out of Westphalia to the lord of Buren and Martin a Rosshem, and driven them into a little town called Hameln, where he now besieges them. Commissaries from the Protestants are now at Smalcald, and some think that all the Protestants will shortly hold a meeting at Francfort. What the end of this tragedy will be is uncertain. The Protestants, although in power inferior to the Emperor, are sure that in cause they are far superior, and are determined to defend their religion and liberty, or die. Francfort, 15 July 1546.

15 July.	1286. Mont to Paget.
R. O. 1546.	I have written to the King the face of Germany, and the more earnestly now that this war grows upon us and no one in Germany can interpose as a mediator, for all are on the one side or the other. We are more terrified by the name and majesty of the Emperor whom we appointed head over us than troubled by his power. Would that the King might intervene! For it is to be feared that the Turk will not neglect this occasion: Germany must suffer great slaughter whichever way victory falls. From honest men who have now come from Ratisbon I hear that the Emperor, being asked who were the disobedient whom he wished to chastise, for no one could suspect otherwise than that hes conceived it out of hatred to their religion, answered that it was conceived from no business of religion but he would prove it to be the disobedience which the Duke of Saxony and Landgrave wished to practise with the King of England against him and the whole Empire. And many credulous people aver that the King has laid open to the Emperor all the secret things formerly treated between him and these princes. Thus the King is undeservedly traduced and called in hatred. Fears that this war may render it more difficult for him to write and that the Emperor will stop the post, and search messengers and letters. The Emperor has asked the canons and bp. of Mayence to receive 1,500 horse into their town and put the passage of the Rhine into his hands, and they have consented to admit 300 horse and have the rest placed in neighbouring villages. That Coblentz and the neighbouring fortress may be opened to him the Emperor has asked of the bp. of Treves, who will not dare to deny him anything. May all princes and kings foresee what, when Germany is suppressed, will become of the rest of the nations! Has determined to remain here at Francfort and Mr. Mason (D. Massonus) knows a method of sending letters to him. Commendations to Mr. Petrus, Paget's colleague. Francfort, 15 July, 1546.

15 July.	1288. News from Venice. (fn. n8)
Spanish Calendar, viii, No. 292.	Ludovico delle Arme arrived at Venice and next day had a long interview with the Chiefs—to the alarm of the country and of the Cardinal of England, who is fifteen miles away. He told Montesa that he was with the Chiefs on private business, and in answer to their questions had declared that your Majesty was so strong in Germany that you would end the war sooner than was thought. He had been to Ratisbon and gone about the country to see for himself. He told the Chiefs of the Council of Ten that your Majesty and the Pope had agreed that the Papal troops, in their passage, should seize and keep a large stretch of territory belonging to the Signory; and thereupon they sent the Duke of Urbino to Verona and doubled the guards everywhere. Cardinal Cornaro "advised us of this."
	ii. A paper of the same date states that the Signory were indignants because the Cardinal of Trent had spread a rumour in Rome that they were dissuading the Pope from aiding the Emperor. To clear the Cardinal of Trent, Cardinal Cornaro published letters from Rome stating that the Venetian ambassador had so dissuaded the Pope; and, seeing these, the Signory announced that their ambassador had acted without instructions and should be punished.
