July. Vesp. F. III. 34b. B. M. Ellis, 1 S. I. 125. State Papers, I. 1.	4279. HENRY VIII. to WOLSEY (Cardinal).
	Is glad to hear of his health. Has answered Wolsey's letters by his secretary. "Two things there be which be so secret that they cause me at this time to write to you myself; the one, is that I trust the Queen my wife be with child; the other is chief cause why I am so loth to repair to London ward, because about this time is partly of her dangerous times, and because of that I would remove her as little as I may now." Writes not of it as certain, but likely.

1 July. Er. Ep. XXX. 24.	4280. ERASMUS to PIRCKHEIMER.
	His translation (of Lucian?) was shown to Erasmus at Bruges, on his return from England, by Thomas More, who was at that time employed upon an embassy in behalf of his sovereign and nation. He said nothing about a letter, and only stated obiter that the book was sent to Erasmus, but not by whom. Suspects that Pirckheimer must have intrusted his letter to Sir Robert Wimphild (Wingfield), with whom Erasmus was acquainted in England. St. Jerome and the New Testament are in the press. The lady Erasmus recommended to him from Mechlin, is the sister of the person to whom Erasmus dedicated his Enchiridion, lately printed at Strasburg. Basle, nat. divi Galli.

2 July. Harl. 295. f. 119b. B. M.	4282. BERNERS to HENRY VIII.
	The King Catholic, his sister Eleanor and many great estates lie still at Saragossa. On Corpus Christi Day there was a procession through the town, in which the King himself, all the temporal ambassadors here, and other estates to the number of 24, bore the canopy over the sacrament. On the Sunday following four pageants on scaffolds in the market place were presented in the King's presence; viz. "the decollation of St. John Baptist, the authority of the Church committed by Christ to his apostles, the Ascension and the Day of Judgment." On Midsummer Day the King, with 23 others, in coats and cloaks of goldsmiths' work, ran and cast canes on horseback in the market place, after the manner of the country, "whereas the King did very well, much praised. A fresh sight for once or twice to behold; but afterwards nothing. As soon as the cane is cast they fly; whereof the French ambassador said that it was a good game to teach men to fly. My Lord Barnes answered, that the Frenchmen learned it well besides Guinegate, at the Journey of the Spurs." In the afternoon was a bullbaiting; and then forty more noblemen, richly dressed, cast canes. On St. Peter's Eve the legate from Rome was honorably brought in by the King. They say the legate will pass to Portugal without delay. Lord Chievres came to their lodging the last day of June, and, after some talk, said they had received letters from Flanders from the Lady Margaret, stating that she had heard from the Emperor that Henry had not sent an ambassador to the Swiss, and he asked them to write to Henry on the subject. "It may be done according to promise, what your grace may do herein, and what the Provost of Cassell." (fn. 1)
f. 121 (fn. 2).	This country looks for a breach between the French King and the King Catholic. Thinks it is not unlikely. All Spain is now in the King's hands. About 200 Turks lately landed at Naples, and took 100 persons, among them a nobleman and his wife coming from their marriage. The King is preparing an army against Barbary. The Admiral of Naples will accompany it. He was not present at the said deed. There is no more news, but daily frays and mischief enough, with dearth of all things, without justice and "looking upon," and in Castile is much sickness. Did not know half an hour before this post's departing. Asks for some cramp rings. "Tomorrow shall be general procession for persons, the King's subjects, 10,000 and beyond, taken by the Turks."
	To the King's grace, from Saragossa, 2 July.

10 July. Bud. Ep. 14 b.	4305. BUDÆUS to THOMAS LINACRE.
	Received his letter on 6 July, with the rings. Had just drawn on his boots to ride, and would not answer in haste, as it was written in such an elegant style he did not like to be outdone. Finds by his letter that Linacre desires to thank him for a copy of his book De Asse, presented him by Budæus when he was at Paris in the suite of Queen Mary, and for the services Budæus had rendered him in overlooking his lately published work. His services were not a gift but a fee to purchase the advocacy of Linacre in England. Cannot regret the time he employed in Linacre's version De Sanitate Tuenda. Has distributed among the wives of his relatives and friends the eighteen rings of silver, and one of gold he received from Linacre, telling them they were amulets against slander and calumny. Has been much interrupted in his studies the last two years, in consequence of having paid so little attention to his household affairs. Paris, 6 id. Jul.

11 July. R. O.	4308. PACE to WOLSEY.
	It was fortunately devised between the King and Wolsey that the King should leave Woodstock at this time, as two persons are dead of the sickness: more are infected, one of them a servant to a yeoman of the King's guard. Tomorrow the King and Queen will lodge at Ewelme, and not stop by the way, as the place appointed for their lodging is infected. Very few of the household will follow, but lodge at Wallyngton. "The Duke of Southfolke arrived here yesternight, and this morning he did speak with me very effectually of one the same matter which I have declared unto your grace in time past, viz. of faithful amity to be established between your grace and him, confirming with solemn oaths, in most humble manner, the most faithful love and servitude that he intendeth to use towards your grace during his life in all manner of cases touching your honor. And he said that he doubted but little but this thing should come to good pass if such persons did not let it, by untrue and evil relation." Pace gave a general answer. Woodstock, 11 July.

	They were sent for yesterday by the King Catholic, who desired them to signify to the King with speed the following, sc.: (1) that Henry should, according to promise, send an ambassador to be resident in Switzerland, (2) and watch carefully the Emperor and electors at Osebrough (Augsburg) lest the French King be made King of the Romans; (3) that the King Catholic desired to treat with Henry for the possession of Tournay, and, on knowing his mind, would send an embassy; (4) that he desired to know Henry's mind about the legate now with him from the Pope, that his and the King Catholic's answer may agree; (5) the King and his Council are dissatisfied with the five years' peace, and think whoever designed it meant mischief. Le Shaw, near servant of the King Catholic, has been in France to show cause against the meeting of the two Sovereigns; has urged various excuses; among others, that the nobles will not agree to it. Francis is sore displeased. The states of Arragon have consented to accept Charles as their sovereign, and are to give him the oath on St. James' Day next, with a large subsidy. The Lady Eleanor will marry the King of Portugal tomorrow by deputy. The King desires his recommendation to Henry. "We beseech your grace to remember us with some of your hallowed ringes."

	Yesternight the King was advertised that one of my Lady Princess's servants was sick of a hot ague. He has commanded Pace to write to Mr. Sydnor that the Princess should come to Byssham Abbey, remain there Tuesday, and be at the More on Wednesday. The King has since heard that the servant has recovered. He wishes the Princess to be removed, notwithstanding, till she hear further the King's pleasure, from Enfield. The Council wish Wolsey would devise "such gistes as shall be most for the King's surety and my Lady's," in consequence of the contagion. "We have daily advertisements here, other of some sweating or the great sickness from places very near unto us; and as for surfeits and drunkenness we have enough at home. My Lord of Durham's books were yesterday full evil entreated by lewd persons, to his no small discontentation. The Queen intendeth to hunt tomorrow four miles hence in a little park of Sir John Pechy's. Your grace shall receive here inclosed gistes devised by divers ways for my Lady Princess after she shall depart hence." From the More, 18 July.

23 July. Harl. 433. f. 293. B. M.	4333. The RECEPTION of CAMPEGGIO in ENGLAND.
	On Friday, 23rd July 1518, 10 Hen. VIII., the Pope's legate, Laurentius de Campeggio, arrived at "the Dele," beside Sandwich, where the Bp. of Chichester, and Lords Bergevenny and Cobham, with a number of Kentish gentlemen, met him, and conveyed him to Sandwich, where he remained that night. On the next day they conducted him to Canterbury, where he arrived between 9 and 10 a.m., and after changing his clothes was received by all the clergy with the mayor and aldermen, who conducted him to the gates of Christ Church, where he was received by the Abp. of Canterbury, the Bishop of Rochester, the Abbots of St. Augustine and Faversham, and the Priors of Christchurch and St. Gregory, all in pontificalibus. After kissing the holy crucifix, he was brought up to the high altar, the monks singing "Summæ Trinitati, &c.," and thereupon the Archbishop said prayers over him. After kissing certain relies, he was led to St. Thomas's shrine with the anthem of St. Thomas; which ended, he sang the collect, "Deus pro cujus ecclesia, &c.," and then solemnly blessed the people. He was then conducted by the Archbishop and the said lords to St. Augustine's Abbey, where he was received by the Abbot and brethren, and led up to the high altar and thence to his lodging. The Archbishop returned to his palace with most of the lords to dinner.
	On Sunday the legate remained at St. Augustine's, and heard high mass in the choir; after which he had a great dinner, at which the Archbishop and the nobles were present. After dinner he went to Christchurch, and saw St. Thomas's shrine and other relics, and then returned to his lodging at St. Augustine's. Early on Monday morning, when it thundered, lightened and rained sore, he departed with the bishops and lords, dined at Sittingbourne, and thence went to Boxley Abbey, where he passed the night. On Tuesday he went to the Archbishop's place at Otford, where the Archbishop received him, and there he remained two days; during which time the Archbishop made him good and great cheer, and divers pleasures and goodly pastimes. On the Thursday after, he went on to Levesham, near Greenwich, where he dined with Mr. Wm. Hattecliff, one of the clerks of the green cloth. After dinner, about one o'clock, he proceeded to Blackheath, and was met by the Duke of Norfolk with a great number of lords, the Bp. of Durham pronouncing a congratulatory oration on his coming. This done, the company, to the number of 2,000 horses, formed in order according to their degrees, and proceeded towards London. The King's tent was set up in a meadow beyond St. Thomas Watergage, wherein the legate changed his apparel and his mule, and then went on towards London with his cross borne before him, with "two pillers and two balaxes." The nobles rode before him, and after him his brother, a prothonotary, with Thomas Halsey, an Englishman, who is a Bishop in Ireland. The legate's servants came next, dressed all in red, and after them the Archbishop's, clothed in one livery with red hats, except the chaplains, to the number of 200 horses. On both sides of the street stood the clergy of London with copes of gold, crosses and censers. At London Bridge an oration was made to him. The London crafts began their order in "Gracious Strete," in Cheapside welcomed by the Mayor and Aldermen; and a brief Latin oration was delivered by Mr. Moore. At Paul's Church, the Bps. of Lincoln and London, and all the ministers of Paul's received him, and the Bp. of London made a short oration; after which he was taken up to the high altar; then returned to his mule, and was conveyed to his lodging at Bath's Place.

	Thanks him for his letter dated Durham Place, 17 July, and his counsel sent by his cousin Humphrey Wingfield, which he will endeavor to follow to the best of his power. Has always striven to do Wolsey's pleasure. They who reported otherwise have maligned him. They should be brought forth to see if they will persist in their untrue surmises. Is glad to find Wolsey does not credit them. Is anxious to see him, and explain everything. Hopes, at the beginning of next term, to satisfy the King and Wolsey of their debts.

24 July. Mon. Habs. Abtheil, II. B. I. 64.	4336. CHARLES KING OF CASTILE.
	Instructions for Jehan de la Sauch, the King of Castile's secretary, now sent to England.
	De la Sauch shall have letters of credence to the Bp. of Elna, and shall tell him that Charles has heard, by his letters to Mons. de Montigny, who showed them to Madame and the Council, of the proceedings between England and France, which consist chiefly of three points; viz., the marriage of the Dauphin to the English Princess, the restitution of Tournay to France, and a firm alliance between the two countries. Wolsey had informed the Bishop of these negotiations, promised they should be for the interest of the King Catholic, and felt sure that Francis would attempt nothing against him in Italy; saying that if Francis accepted the articles he would propose concerning the King Catholic and his allies, it would not be necessary to spend any money on the Swiss; Charles would then be safe on all sides, and free to attend to other business in Africa and elsewhere. Wolsey, however, advised him to send some one to keep the Swiss in good humor, without spending any money, until it has been ascertained how affairs go on between England and France.
	De la Sauch is to say that Madame and the Council, seeing the importance of these matters, have sent him to watch over their interests in these negotiations; that the King Catholic has never abandoned Henry in his treaties with France, nor allowed any article to his prejudice, though he has been often pressed to do so; that Francis only wishes to dissolve the friendship between him and England, as he has so often tried to do. After having been very desirous of a meeting, either in Flanders or Spain, he has now found means of putting it off. Most of the princes of the empire are assembled at Augsburg, and the others are preparing to go there. They are all well disposed towards the King Catholic, and he has good hopes of obtaining the empire. These remonstrances the ambassadors are to make use of as they think fit. Has sent a knight of his Order to the Swiss. The Pope and Emperor have also sent to them, and Henry is bound to do the same, notwithstanding his present negotiations. Does not wish to cause a rupture between England and France, as he has always desired unity between Christian princes for an expedition against the Turks;—only requests that nothing be concluded to his detriment, or against existing treaties.
	If Tournay is restored, the following stipulations, which he has often mentioned to his ambassadors, must be insisted on; viz., Francis must promise not to send any garrison there; not harbor the Emperor's rebels or exiles; and the people of Tournay be bound not to receive any garrison, or harbor rebels. Wishes that some means might be found for coming to an agreement with Gueldres about Friesland. If nothing better can be done, the treaty between the King and Gueldres, of Sept. 1517, might be renewed by means of the French ambassadors, if Gueldres will renounce all claims to Friesland, and restore the places which he holds there, and pay the sum of 100,000 g. cr., according to the said treaty. When De la Sauch has declared the above matters to the Bp. of Elna, they are to put them before the King and Wolsey as seems most suitable, and report their intentions. If Wolsey speak of the Bishop or bishopric of Tournay, or other matters in which he cannot give him a good answer, he must feign to ignore it, and say, in general terms, that the King and Council will show him all possible favor. If mention is made of Wolsey's pension, he is to say that Madame and the Council were informed that the King had ordered the payment for the past term by letter of exchange, which he sent from Spain into England, and for the future no delay shall happen.

	Being a banished man, and anxious to procure his pardon, had taken the French ambassador, in the hope of obtaining it through him. His special friend, Lord Dacre, during the last fortnight, has so urged him to release the ambassador that he could not detain him. Wolsey is aware that there is no relying on the Duke of Albany, as was seen in the slaying of my Lord Home, his chief, under trust. Begs, therefore, the King will make interest to obtain his pardon. Without it, he dare not enter Scotland again. Sends his brother Alexander with the ambassador to Wolsey. Cawmyllis, 25 July. Signed.

Francis will send as commissioners to England, the nobles of his privy chamber who are best acquainted with his wishes; sc., the Admiral of France, Lord of Bonnivet and Crevequeur, "centum lancearum more Gallico ductorem," brother of the Grand Master, with three others, viz., the King's Chamberlain Chaundeuier, the Lords Nicolas and Villeroy. The embassy will thus be more expeditious than if greater nobles had been sent. Commends Nicolas. Angers, 25 July.

	Need not be apprehensive of the cold in England, as they sweat there in midwinter with their fireplaces. Has met at Basle Ant. Pucci, the papal legate. Has been greatly afflicted more than a month with sickness, and compelled, contrary to his wont, to call in physicians. Pace returned, but Erasmus did not see him, as the King sent for him to England. He is high in favor with the King and the Cardinal. Much as he dislikes courts, Erasmus would be glad, were he young again, to return to England. Speaks highly of Henry's favor to learning. Katharine is not only a miracle of learning, but is not less pious than learned. Thomas Linacre is King's physician; Tunstal, Master of the Rolls (a scriniis); More, privy councillor; Pace (huic pene germanus), secretary; Mountjoy, chamberlain of the Household; Colet, preacher; Stokesley, who is well versed in the schoolmen, and intimately acquainted with three languages, confessor (a sacris). It is a museum more than a court. Is reconciled to Faber. The rumors about the Turk are not credited, people have so often been deceived. Is sorry to hear the news of Musurus and Paleotti. Faustus is dead in France, and Ammonius in England. Basle, 7 kl. Aug. 1518.
26 July. Galba, B. VI. 65. B. M.	4341. KNIGHT to WOLSEY.
	Lady Margaret and Mountigny received letters from England on the 22nd, notifying the contents of the treaty between "your grace" and France; on which they sent immediately to the Emperor, the King of Spain and their ambassador in France. They profess great dissatisfaction at the match between the Dauphin and the Princess, and at the proposed delivery of Tournay; and fear this agreement will cause the loss of Naples, and that Henry will not send an ambassador to the Swiss as he lately promised. The governors will not be satisfied with any assurances unless they come from the King or Wolsey, and have sent over two persons on other pretences to know what has passed. Is anxious to be recalled.

	This day se'nnight Lady Eleanor was espoused to the King of Portugal, and will go there soon. The estates will swear allegiance to the King in ten or twelve days. "God send hit an ende; for we lye here with most charge and expence, horse and man, and in most scarcity of all good things, as well meat and drink, that may be thought." The French say marriage is concluded between the Dauphin and our Princess. Always declares he neither hears nor thinks it. There is great dread of Francis becoming Emperor, and every one talks of war for the nonrestitution of Navarre. "Here is daily triumphs, fighting at the bars, justs, and juga de kanes. The Lord Fynes' challenge was at the bars very well done; at the tilt many noble men; the King himself often at juga the kanes; sumptuous apparel, a pennyworth of everything for tenpence." And so the country keepeth the King here by craft and all to their profit. Begs letters and cramp rings. Saragossa, 26 July 1518.

	The King is greatly pleased with Worcester's diligence in urging the deprivation of Cardinal Hadrian. He is not to suppose because the King wrote sharply that he has lost the King's favor. On learning the news of Hadrian's privation, the King sent a knight of the garter to Campeggio at Calais. On the 14 July the Legate took ship and landed at Sandwich, where he was received by the Bishop of Chichester, Lord Burgavenny and a large company of nobles and gentry, and so conducted to Canterbury, where he was met by the Archbishop, the Bishop of Rochester and the Abbot of St. Augustine's, in the cathedral; and after they had been sprinkled with holy water and censed, he was conducted to his lodgings. After resting two days at Canterbury he proceeded to Sittingborne to dinner, attended by 500 horse; from this to supper at Holy Cross Abbey; all expences were provided by Wolsey's arrangements. In the morning he came to Rochester, where a magnificent dinner was provided; thence to Otford, attended all the way by the Archbishop, a thousand horse, many in armor and gold chains. At Blackheath he was met by the Bp. of Ely and all the ambassadors, and conducted to a royal tent of cloth of gold, two miles distant from London, specially erected for his reception. Here he was met by the Duke of Norfolk, the Bps. of Durham and Lincoln, the Earl of Surrey, Lord Admiral, the Lord Barbia (Bergavenny?), the Lord Dauser (D'Arcy) and many others. The Bp. of Durham then made an oration, and welcomed him to England. After he had entered the tent, he put on his pontificals, and was conducted to London with a cavalcade of 4,000 horse. From St. George's Church to London Bridge, the way was lined on both sides by a large concourse of friars, monks and clergy, with gold and silver crosses, to the number of sixty, all dressed in their copes made of cloth of gold, and singing hymns, "harmonia prope modum divina;" and as the Legate passed they censed him and sprinkled him with holy water. At the foot of the bridge were two Bishops in pontificals, who received him, and presented him with the relics of the saints to kiss. So loud were the rejoicings, and such salvos of artillery rent the air, as if the heavens themselves would fall. The procession extended more than two miles, and all the streets were crammed. When he reached Cheapside he was received by the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, one of whom made him a speech * * *

	Bonnivet and others have started for England on their embassy, the most splendid that ever left France. He has with him thirty gentlemen and fifty archers, with companies of wrestlers, musicians and tennis players. The French are delighted with the alliance; but will it last? The English have fortune in their favor. "Ils ont beau faire leurs besoignes;" for the French have been expecting to get the better of them these three or four years past. Is surprised that they are going to surrender Tournay for 400,000 crowns of gold. The King of France reports that they will give up Guygnes and Calais, which the writer does not think they will be such fools as to do; for they may get what they like out of him, even the half of his kingdom, rather than that the alliance should not take place ...
	Francis hopes to be Emperor by the instrumentality of the Pope. The Duke of Albany has sent across his people by all the ports of Normandy, Britanny and Picardy. He returns to Scotland on Wednesday, 4 Aug. A sudden rumor has sprung up that "m ..." was not to be found. The Catholic King "tire ariere." Something untoward has happened in Switzerland; and some of the troops are dissatisfied.
