Has sent to France at the request of the brother of the bishop of Paris some moderate advice (quandam επιεικειαν) about the principal controversies. Has been twice invited by the English and expects a third letter. Is vexed at his own slowness. The Chancellor and Sneppius have written from Stutgard in the prince's name to find out his wishes, and they recall him to his country by kind letters. Replied courteously and doubts not they will write again, but English affairs affect him strongly. Will do nothing without Joachim's advice. Our αρχων, “Macedo,” (fn. 2) and ο κερασφορος (duke of Wurtemberg) will shortly meet at Fulda. Expects letters from England this Sept. The duke of Holstein has surrendered.

Cannot express their obligations for this. The visitors have signified to them the King's order that they should renounce the papal authority under their common seal, and swear fealty to him and his successors. Though they have done this already, they do it afresh. Ask him to grant them their accustomed privileges and immunities. Oxford, 18 cal. Oct. |

R. O. | Your son is in good health. I hope you understand the good order begun in Wales, so that thieves are afraid. On Michaelmas eve we intend to be at Shrewsbury again, and to abide there till All Hallowtide till we return to Ludlow, where there is great need of repairs, as I wrote to you by Mr. Rastall. I thank you for your letter to Englefield. Be good to this bearer. I have no news but concerning Ireland. This day at 5 a.m. was a sudden earthquake, in so much that the castle of Chester, standing upon a main rock, rocked like a cradle, to the great fear of us all therein.

15 Sept. | 1154. Henricke Johnson. |
Galba, B.X. 47. B. M. |
“The copy of the sentence given at Barowe against Henricke Johnson, otherwise Trappe of Armewe,” 15 Sept. 1534. |
The Scowte declared that Johnson ought to be sentenced to revoke his injurious words against the king of England, and to ask forgiveness of God and the judges; to stand upon a pillory three days for three hours each day, with a title of his offence attached to him; to have a hot iron thrust through his tongue; and to be banished the margraveship of Barowe and the lordship of Borflete, on pain of his right hand; and as the witnesses were on the other side of the sea, he should remain in prison unless he would confess and submit himself to the grace of the boromasters and skepyns. Johnson answered that certain Englishmen came from Zealand in his ship and would not pay their passage, when he being drunk, spake evil words, but not so large as the Scowte had declared; he asked them to pardon him for his simpleness and poverty. The borowmasters and skepyns, considering the evil consequences that may arise from injurious words between the subjects of the King and the Emperor, have ordained, without taking the extreme rigor of the law, that Johnson shall come from the prison to the town house barefoot and bareheaded in his shirt, holding a torch of 2lbs. of wax, and kneeling down beseech the forgiveness of God and the judges, and acknowledge that he is sorry for the words he spoke; to carry the torch thence and offer it before the Holy Sacrament in the church here; to pay 50 carolus guldens for the repairs of the new work in the Council chamber, and the law costs; and for a second offence to be banished out of the margraveship of Barowe and the lordship of Borthfliet for ever. 15 Sept. 1534. | |
