	On my arrival, gave the Emperor your answers to what I had said to you in his name. Found him well disposed to commute the bishopric of Badajos for an annual pension borne by the see, and he promises another pension from the first wealthy see that is vacant, instead of the pension promised by the marquis of Arschot. No one in the court here will accept the said see with a greater burden than 3,000 ducats, and I wish to know whether you will take the see, which is worth 5,000 ducats, or the said sum.
	The journey to Italy which we spoke of, will end in either a war, or else great loss of money and honor to both princes. Your advice in this matter ought to be acted on; and the lord to whom I spoke at your wish, thinks the same. The Emperor will write to Don John Emmanuel to the same effect as you have determined to write to the ambassador at Rome, about the matters treated at the meeting of the kings at Calais, to gain the Pope's favor for their realms, and keep him informed of the occurrences there. What you said about the legateship will be done. Hears from a friend that Campeggio was slow in obtaining the protectorship of Germany. The Emperor will consider about the petition I presented on his behalf from you. St. Omer, 17 July 1520.
	Have not mentioned the pension of 2,000 ducats from the see of Palencia. It is reserved, and the matter is quite safe.

	* * * Madame told him that she had heard from Montmorency, who was present at the late interview, that Chievres and the Chancellor tried to persuade the king of England to treat with her nephew against France, and that the King said he was much surprised that those who owe so much to their master could be so ungrateful as to lead him into evil by teaching him to break his faith at such a tender age; for they well knew the treaties that they had with France. For his part he was ready to declare against any one who would do France an injury, and he had said the same to her nephew, showing all favor to Montmorency in his presence, and telling him that he had not only a good understanding with France, but most cordial love for Francis, whom he praised most highly, adding that they were not only alike in mind and will, but in person, and showed a doublet and a cloak (? ciamarra) that he had on given him by the French King, and said so much of this friendship that the Spaniards departed ill pleased. England is now desirous that if the French be sought in friendship by the Spaniards, nothing may be done without his privity. Thinks a promise will be given to this effect. The Pope is not without suspicion that at this last interview there was some treating for a new friendship between this King and Spain. This distrust has created some dissatisfaction here, where the friendship of his Holiness is more valued than ever, and they hope to kiss his feet once more. The sending of Morette [to Rome] is deferred till the close of the interview. * * * Poissy, 19 July 1520.

	Yesterday, on hearing of Rochepott's arrival from England, went to St. Germain's at 8 o'clock in the evening. Found Francis newly risen from bed, for he had been "all the day, which was marvellously hot, at the chace." Francis informed him of the "high declaration" made by Henry to the king Catholic of the amity with France, and of the familiar entertainment of the said Rochepott, which have given him "all the pleasure, joy, and comfort that human creature may receive;" telling him that Henry had showed himself his perfect friend, and that he should think the time long till he had an opportunity to requite his friendship. He then went to supper. Rochepott arrived soon after, and made a similar communication to him; and after supper to my Lady the King's mother, who was no less joyous of the news than the King her son. Hopes to bring over some "clokkes" for the King. The duke of Alençon has promised to send over his servant who plays the clavichords. Poissy, 19 July. Signature burnt off.

Has taken the oath of O'Kerroyll, the most esteemed captain of the land. Gives an account of his conversation with him, and a letter he had received from the earl of Kildare. Has his son and brother in pledge. The country is now in peace, except O'Nele. In talking with O'Downyl, the latter said, "If ever the King send the earl of Kildare hither in authority again, let the King make him an assurance by indenture of this land to him and his heirs for ever." Has been constantly employed in war, and thinks the Irish will not be brought to good order except by compulsion; and that will require much men, money and time. Sickness prevails in the English pale, and the yeomen of the King's guard are anxious to return to England to take care of their farms. Desires to raise a troop of horse. Dublin, 23 July.
27 July. Galba, B. VI. 180. B.M.	925. SIR THOS. SPINELLY to WOLSEY.
	Arrived at Bruges on Saturday last. Went to the Emperor, who is four leagues hence. He said he should never forget his reception in England and at Calais, and was sorry he could not return your kindness at a better place than Gravelines. He will enter this night with great triumph, and a great assembly of nobles of the country, ambassadors and other Almains, who have come since our being at Calais; amongst whom is duke Henry of Brunswick, with 60 horses, counts Wm. and Hans of Nassau, the counts of Sorna, Verdenberg, Fostenberg and Salma; the least of them with 20 horses. Has not yet heard of any French ambassador, but the lady of Vendôme came two days ago, with her son the Cardinal and divers French gentlemen. Does not know their object, but is sure they will have but a small audience to their overtures. It is said the Emperor will go to the coronation at Aken, after Michaelmas. There is no answer yet from the Electors, but "it may not tarry nor be contrary to his Majesty's desire." The ceremony will be at Hallantydde, and take but few days. The Emperor will then go to Nuremberg, where by ancient custom the estates will meet to order the affairs of the country, and the journey to Rome.
	Asked the ambassador of Augsburg, who seems to be a wise man, what he thinks of the said journey, and what assistance the Emperor will have. He said that, considering the decline of the authority of the empire, all wished for his full coronation; and if he execute good justice in Almany, he will have 40,000 foot and 10,000 horse paid for a year. I suggested that, according to a proverb in my country, the exaltation of the lord is the oppression of the subject; that the Princes of Almain might be jealous "for their excessive liberties;" and that justice could not be administered without giving great offence to the said princes, "whoose ben the keppers and fydders of all robbers." He answered, that both lords and commons have a good "imprension" of those of the blood of Osteriche, especially of this young Emperor; and that he would no more use tyranny than his predecessors; that the lords further the journey to Rome, as they hope to share the lands which would be reduced to the Emperor's obedience; and that there are more who want justice than not. He thinks the French king cannot refuse a passage through the duchy of Milan, and if he do, he will be the breaker of the peace, and not the Emperor, who, by the prerogatives of the empire, must go with the power requisite for his surety.
	Divers merchants from Nuremberg and Ulmo say the Emperor will have an aid of 400,000 guildens a month, for a year, and that the imperial towns will gladly pay it, if justice be reformed, and the robbers punished "and not accepted by the marquises of Brandenburg and certain other barons." Lately, a gentleman of the marquis Casimirus, with 100 horse, attacked the earl of Hettyng and the Chancellor of the elector of Mayence, to rob them. After fighting some time, both were sore hurt, the Earl so badly that he died in two days, and all their goods were taken. Many complaints have been made about it to the Emperor, but he answers that he can do nothing till he comes to Almain. The Pope gives fair words and promises to the Emperor "by the hands of Raphael de Medicis and conduytte of the cardinal de Medicis." The prothonotary Karaccolo, a Neapolitan, brought up by the cardinal Askanyo, has come to be resident here. He is considered a good imperial, as he showed when in Almain, at the election. Sending such a man seems to show a good mind, and that whatever the Pope says to the French king, his intention is not so clear as he makes believe; or else both will be entertained with words till he can join the stronger; but, owing to his lack of money, his assistance will be of little value. A kiusman "of his" says his Holiness "has no money, but great debts, none resolution or execution in his affairs, and that many of his conditions may be compared unto some that the Emperor Maximilian had." Was secretly told that he had put to death lord John Paulo Ballyon because he had practised in Italy in the French king's favor, so that his resistance to the coronation would be of little effect. Heard from divers deputies of Brabant, Flanders and Zealand that they will continue the great aid for three years. It will begin in six months, and amount to 600,000 fl. a year. They will also give him 500,000 ducats of gold, or their value, for his coronation. The joint answer of the estates, however, is not yet made, but will be, at Ghent. Fellyngher and Bandysius tell me that those in Ostreche, Tyroll and "other paternal succession in Almany," have agreed to a tax by which the Emperor will have 600,000 guildens clear; and he will have 200,000 ducats from Naples.
	Spanish affairs are in the state you know. No lord has made any open demonstration against the commons. They say they will obey the Emperor in everything, except in allowing money to go out of the kingdom, and strangers to have offices, so that the Emperor can only reckon on the revenues of the three magistracies, which are farmed for three years at 212,000 ducats of gold a year; the farmers to answer every three months at such place as the Emperor shall be in. Other rents they will distribute for the Queen, for men-of-arms, for keeping Navarre and the towns of Barbary, and paying the pensioners there resident. 100,000 ducats are lacking of the sum appointed at our departure for the Emperor's service; which is to be taken out of the extraordinary aid. The subjects that the queen of Arragon had in Castile, in recompence of her dowry "contrachanged in Naples" by her husband's will, to prevent her marrying a Frenchman, have rebelled, and yielded themselves to the crown. Does not know what satisfaction will be made her. The duke of Alva thinks the insurrection will be with difficulty appeased, in the Emperor's absence; and as to Toledo, both spiritual and temporal insist that if the Cardinal intend to enjoy his revenues and collations by virtue of the apostolic indultu, he must reside there. The Marquis, his uncle, has diminished the great charges and household appointed for his entertaining, which seems as if he had little hope of soon reducing his see to obedience.
	The said Marquis has sold to the duke of Beagger his office of contador mayor, some say for 30,000 ducats. I am told that they intend to sell certain towns and lands in Naples, "of the succession of the queens of Naples deceased," amounting to 10,000 ducats a year, and to 200,000 in vendition. The count of Benevent offers 120,000 ducats for a lordship in Castile, so that I cannot see the Emperor has any lack of money for his voyage.
	I have divers times visited your ambassadors and commissioners, giving Sir John Hose and Dr. Knight the precedence when we meet. This letter was commenced on the 22nd. On the 23rd the Emperor made his entry, and on Monday next he will remove to Gant, to have the answer from the General Estates. This morning, the 27th, the Marquis had at dinner with him the cardinal of Bourbon. Bruges, 27 July 1520.
	P.S.—A post has come from Almain that the Chancellor of the elector of Mayence is dead; that the duke of Vyertenberg has had money from France, and begun to make men enter his duchy, where Sevenberg was gone to defend the country; in which the said Elector and others of the league of Swevya will assist. The Elector wrote to the Emperor that he intended to revenge the death of his Chancellor, and that, as to the Duke, the remedy must be sought against the French king, and they must give him cause not to meddle with Almain. This morning, the 28th, the Marquis has desired me to bring to dinner with him Hose and his colleague.

	Raphael de Medici says, you told the Pope's ambassador you had heard from me that he had many practises with the Emperor on behalf of the cardinal de Medici. He has also complained, in other places, of my speaking about it. I have told him I mentioned it to you only to show his great influence with the Pope and the Cardinal, and in order to induce you to confer with him rather than with the Pope's ambassador at Calais. The Pope's nephew who spoke with you at Guisnes is here, and is in favor with the lord Marquis. I shall learn from him of the business of Rome, but everything must be kept secret. Letters have been brought from the lord Leonard to lord Fiennes. My man, Echyngham, a discreet young fellow, who was present at their delivery, says, the lord Leonard demanded a declaration upon certain words laid to his charge; to which Fiennes replied, that he had never heard of any such, and for his kinsman's sake would send a gentleman to the King to justify himself. The lord Marquis says, that, true or false, he regretted the scandal, and thought the best remedy was to know nothing about it; for one day, which it was reported to the late King of Arragon that certain Castilians had spoken against him, he said, laughing, that he had a covenant with them that they might say what they pleased, if they did afterwards what he pleased.
	Cowke and his brother, who were in great favor with the duke of Suffolk, are here, about to enter the Emperor's service, and, I am told, talk more than they should do. Such men ought rather to be provided for in England. I have told the lord Marquis it would be advisable not to receive any man without first knowing the King's mind. A young man named Acceby is come, whom the Emperor promised to receive at the duke of Suffolk's instance, and with him divers tall fellows, who cannot hold their tongues from speaking against France. I delivered your letters to the lord Marquis, saying he might be sure you would prefer their friendship to any other. He has great confidence in you. La Roche also received your letters, and will do his best in the matter of your bishopric and pension, the bulls of which have arrived. Wm. de Barre and others are anxious to have the commissions to convey them to you; but I have insisted that they be delivered to me as you direct. I enclose a letter from La Roche, showing that he has complied. My lord Marquis told me of the coming of the Master of the Rolls, of which you had informed him. If I am to continue with the Emperor, I trust my honor will be better regarded after my 12 years' service than it was at the arrival of your ambassadors in Spain. Henceforth, I shall write news of your private affairs in a letter apart. Eight bundles of cloths and some worsteds, belonging to Rauson, have been arrested at Barrow, having been sent out of England under a strange name. We have obtained letters for their delivery to Hennage's servant, and will arrange to lay good watch for Rauson. Bruges, 27 July 1520.

31 July. Er. Ep. XII. 15.	929. ERASMUS to HERMAN BUSCH.
	Inveighs against Lee. (fn. 1) His chief support is stupid abbot and one Standish, first a minorite, then a theologian, afterwards a bishop. Gives an account of a ridiculous sermon preached by Standish before the lord mayor and corporation at Paul's Cross, in which he inveighed bitterly against the new edition of the New Testament by Erasmus, and the translation, "In principio erat Sermo." The same day Standish dined at the palace, when the conversation turned upon the sermon, and Standish was taken to task by two courtiers. Shortly after, in the presence of Henry and his Queen, Standish took occasion to abuse the writings of Erasmus, and raising his hands and eyes to Heaven, in a theatrical attitude, implored his Majesty to succour the Spouse of Christ, if no one else would come to the rescue. One of the courtiers, mimicking Standish's voice and manner, begged him to point out the dangerous heresies of which he complained. Describes the ridiculous controversy which ensued, betraying the gross ignorance of Standish. Louvain, pridie kal. Aug. 1520.
