21 Jan. R. O.	1976. SIR ANTHONY UGHTRED to WOLSEY.
	Albany has taken Temptallon castle, belonging to the earl of Angus, and is now lying at Dunbar, a place of his own, not eighteen miles from Berwick. Thinks he has only 4,000 men, besides the noblemen and their households. The earls of Huntley, Argyle, Arrayne, Lenhowse and three others are with him, besides barons. Angus has lately gone over to him, contrary to his oath sworn on the Evangelists to Dacre. As Albany was so near, took into wages 250 men; but discharged 150 six days after, on hearing that he was going to return to Edinburgh, retaining the rest for one day longer. Dunbar is only five hours' march from Berwick, and it would be impossible to send into Northumberland for men if he came suddenly, as he can lie on either side of the town, and prevent any English entering it. Wishes to know how the said men are to be paid, for the country is very poor; and if they want money, they want courage. For the safety of the town, it would be well to keep a crew of 200 men till the Duke's mind is further known. There are fifty gunners whose wages have for a long time been paid to Geo. Lawson, the receiver, by the late abbot of St. Mary's; but the present abbot says he cannot continue the payment without a warrant from the King. Thinks Wolsey must have forgotten his frequent mention of the necessity of repairing the fortifications. A master of works is much needed. Four bulwarks are fallen down, and the fifth is in decay. Berwick, 21 Jan. Signed.

	Anxious as he was that Pace should have arrived at Rome in due time to forward Wolsey's election, is thankful that the choice has fallen upon Adrian, cardinal of Tortosa, whose elevation, next to the Cardinal's, will be most for the good of Christendom. Brussels, 21 Jan. 1522.
22 Jan. Galba. B. VII. 227. B. M.	1978. SPINELLY to WOLSEY.
	Wrote last on the 18th of the news from Trent, and of the election of the cardinal of Tortosa as Pope, of which the Emperor has had no further certainty. The cardinal of Liege believed it because he had heard, before the entering into conclave, that Tortosa would be named to exclude De Medicis. I have had divers communications with the Emperor and my Lady. In answer to the King's thanks for signifying to you the malicious inventions of the French for the hindrance of the amity, the Emperor says such ceremony is superfluous. He told me the new practices set forth by the princess of Orange mentioned in my last; the original letters relating to which he has sent to his ambassadors to show you. The Emperor is much pleased with your resolution to take his ambassadors daily into council, and will do the same towards the King's; for which reason, the rent-master of Zealand was called to my presence, and showed me a book of all victuals prepared for the army at sea. As to ships, the Emperor has received letters from Spain, dated the 5th, informing him of the coming of sixty-six of the best in Biscay; some laden with merchandise, others expressly sent by the council. A good number of men-of-war will come from Spain, and 4,000 Almains will go hence, though the Constable and others desire 5,000. I am informed of this, both by the Emperor and by Alva and Fonseca, who are very urgent in their letters that the voyage should be hastened, and promise that Castile will set forth against France, besides the navy, 30,000 foot and 10,000 horse. They have found 15,000 horse within the realm, and arranged the way by which they shall enter France.
	According to your command, I have told the Emperor and my Lady that Hannart must be compelled to plain declaration, insisting on the dangers that may arise if the fault go unpunished. Was answered that the matter was not so serious; the letters written to the ambassador of Hungary, and shown by him, not being of such contents as was supposed. I said the ambassador's answer, seen by credible persons, proved the contrary; and if it were as the Emperor said, Hannart must have re-written them with the ambassador's consent. The Emperor asked my authority for saying the answer would condemn Hannart. It was the Chancellor; but as Wingfield and I promised him to keep it secret, I said if it were not found so the witness should be produced. Hannart being absent, it was deferred till his return, "but by my Lady's opinion, I look for no great exploit." By her advice, I desired the Emperor at least not to let Hannart know of the common affairs; which he promised. Considering how he was brought up by Chievres, it is no wonder the Emperor is not yet fully awake, especially as he has so many of the old sect about him; but, with his excellent wit and good disposition, he will ultimately set all things right.
	As La Shault is affected towards France, Berghes and my Lady have persuaded the Emperor to send him to the Queen of Portugal to be her Chamberlain, and conduct her to Castile along with other lords.
	Cannot express the satisfaction given by the King's letters to the Swiss, and the sending of his ambassadors. My fellow, York, was despatched on the 17th to the Emperor's ambassadors, accompanied by a servant of the master of the Posts. The Emperor hears from Switzerland, that the great master of France, La Palice, the bishop of Senlis, Lamet and the general of Languedoc, with 500 horse, had arrived there, and asked for 16,000 men; and although Zurich and other cantons remained firm to the Emperor, the rest were able to raise that number. The Emperor is therefore advised by some Swiss friends to send 6,000 more lanceknights to Italy, "affirming that nothing shall keep them at home, as to know they shall find resistance in the duchy of Milan of lyke theyr pyckes, saying also the (they) love the French crowns, and not to die for them;" but I see no way to do this for lack of money. The King should look to it, and prevent the Venetians meddling by offering to mediate between them and the Emperor.
	I have several times spoken to the Emperor and council of the demeanor of Albany, and urged the banishment of the Scots. The Chancellor says, it cannot be done till the King's declaration, for reasons I have already written. I said, if the Emperor would not do more than he was bound to in the treaty, he should not expect more of the King. Berghes says, he and the lord Admiral, his son-in-law, would be great losers if the Scots were banished from their marts, but for his own part he was content. Still, no resolution was come to, except to send a herald to Scotland, threatening to exclude them from the marts if they do not abandon Albany; which I have urged them to do at once, but the Chancellor refuses.
	Thanked the Emperor for writing to Rome in Wolsey's favor, who said he would always be ready to promote his exaltation. The reputation of England for wealth is a great cause of the esteem in which it is held; and if the King do not lend the Emperor some money, it will not be well taken. This evening, the 21st, at 8 o'clock, a letter of the 10th came from Rome, from don John Manuell, announcing that the cardinal Detursensis was elected on the 9th, by the name of Hadrianus Trayectensis, and cardinals Colonna and Cæsarinus will take the news to him in Spain. The Emperor and court are much pleased. Mass will be celebrated in the cathedral tomorrow, and fires and triumphs made at night. Can learn no particulars, except that Medicis, perceiving he was excluded by the opposition of Colonna, in order that no other Italian might be elected, voted with all his friends, to the number of 16, in favor of Detursensis, and was immediately followed by Colonna with other 8, when the rest also followed in succession. The Turks continually harass Hungary, which the Emperor will be compelled to assist with a great part of the aid granted by the estates of Germany. Hears from Berghes that Hochstrat has obtained the government of Holland by resignation of Nassau, who will be recompensed in Spain through my Lady's influence. Hochstrat does many things to the Emperor's prejudice. The King must provide some remedy when the Emperor comes to England. The exequies of the king of Portugal have been performed. Sends a letter from my Lady for Wolsey. The cardinal of Liege is here, daily attending the council. Brussels, 22 Jan., in the morning.

22 Jan. R. O.	1979. CAMPEGGIO to WOLSEY.
	As I heard that the courier with my letters was taken near Sienna by the duke of Urbino, and the letters destroyed, I send another copy. There is no fresh news. Although I then wrote of going to the Pope, by desire of the College I have given up all thoughts of it. Rome, 22 Jan. 1522. Signed.

22 Jan. Vit. B. V. 23. B. M.	1980. PACE to [WOLSEY].
	In his last letters, dated the 16th, informed Wolsey of his sending Richmond to the gover[nors] of Sienna and the old duke of Urbino, when Richmond had been absent four days. (fn. 1) Next day he returned, bringing answer from the governors that Pace would require no passport from them, as he would be received with all possible honor for the King's sake. On his way from them to the Duke he was taken by 30 of the Duke's horsemen, and robbed of all he had, even his coat of arms, on the pretext that he bore the arms of Florence, in which there are a fleur de lis and a lion. He was released by an honest gentleman of Mantua, with whom he had communication, carrying Pace's credentials to the Duke, who apologised for the herald's treatment, saying his men were without wages, and restored to him at his own cost what was taken from him. The Duke granted the safeconduct in the fullest manner, "saying, that he did know me for his [frien]de for Pope July's sake." This visit to the Duke's army was of great importance for the safeguard of Sienna and Florence, for they never could ascertain the number of their enemies, nor "the [or]dre of the said field;" but Richmond made such a report of the feebleness of the Duke's army and scarcity of victuals, that in two days they drove him from the field far off towards Perugia. Thus Pace's being here has done some good. When he saw the Florentines vacillating, confirmed their good minds to De Medici. Richmond found with the Duke two French captains, S Juliane and the chevalier De la Grue, who had been without wages 18 months. Florence, 22 Jan.

23 Jan. Vit. B. V. 26. B. M.	1981. PACE to [WOLSEY].
	P.S.—The card. De Medicis arrived late last night, and sent to Pace the bishop of Capua, "otherwise named [Fra] Nicolas," to welcome him to Florence, and desire an interview in the morning. Went to him today, and was received with great honor, all the governors of the city being about him, when the Cardinal took him into a secret chamber, and told him he knew how much he was bound to the King and Wolsey by the letters he had received by Pace's servant, Thos. Clerke, and the relation thereupon made by the English ambassador. On hearing the King's good mind more fully from Pace, he said he would send his chief and most trusty secretary to thank them, and declare that he would live and die the faithful servant of the King and the Emperor. He said the French had made him great offers since the late Pope's death, but he had rejected them all. In every scrutiny in the conclave, he said he gave his voice for Wolsey, and caused 17 or 18 of his friends to do the same; but as he could not prevail over the rest, he thought it best to obtain the papacy for a friend to the King and the Emperor, as he doubts not the new elected will be. He is a sure friend of Wolsey in all his private causes. He thinks it expedient that the Pope should be at Rome for the conservation of the lands of the Church, and the contentation of all. Has written five letters to Rome to Mr. Dean (Clerk), but has had no answer. Fears that his letters are intercepted by the old duke of Urbino. Intends, now the Duke has withdrawn, to visit Rome, and stay there till he hears from Wolsey. Florence, 23 Jan.
	Jo. Matthæus is the person the Cardinal intends to send to Wolsey, a very honest man, and much trusted.

In Carlisle and the West, 60 men, under Sir Christopher Dacre, to lie in Roukcliff, the uttermost house of England. Exploits to be done accordingly, that the King's money be not spent in vain. Himself will lie "where most mistre is. And the wages of 22 men in the fulfilling the number of 500 men to be expended upon eleven posts to lie betwixt Morpeth and London, which shall have double wage; and so the King shall have knowledge to and fro in eight days in winter, and six days in summer and moonlight, seeing that every post shall not have above twenty-two mile." The earl of Angus regrets going over to the duke of Albany, says he did it to save his friends, and has written within two days to the bishop of Dunkeld. The Homes stick to their promise.

26 Jan. Vit. B. V. 28. B. M.	1990. PACE to [WOLSEY].
	Advertised him in his last of his departure from Rome. After he had taken leave of De Medici, the Cardinal sent to Richmond a gown of the finest damask that could be found in Florence. When Pace arrived at Sienna, the Cardinal there, being advertised of his coming, fetched Pace from his hostelry to his own house, and kept him all night in as honorable manner as could be devised for the King's sake, "whose name in these parts now is of greater e[stima]tion than ever was the name of any [of his] predecessors." Pace's arrival has staid many things tending to the annoyance of the King and the Emperor. Sienna told him that Wolsey, in the late conclave, had divers voices by means of De Medici, himself among the number, but was opposed by the majority, who alleged that Wolsey would never come to Rome if he were elected Pope, "and that ye were nimis potens." Had Pace been there in time he could have removed those objections. Begs a loving letter may be sent to the cardinal of Sienna. There is much to do for the Pope's coming. Some fear he will be kept in Spain by the Spaniards, and some that he will pass by England, and be long away. Should he go there, Wolsey "shall have a marvellous great and good occasion to come to Rome." If not, thinks a person should be sent to meet him at the sea side "in these parts, at his landing." Will be willing to undertake that office himself. Palpa, 26 Jan.

Calig. D. VIII. 201. B. M.	1991. HENRY VIII. and FRANCIS I.
	Instructions given by the king to Sir Thos. Chay[ney] to declare to the French king.
	(1.) That though the King has been rejoiced to hear from time to time of his good estate by Fitzwilliam, yet he could not be satisfied without sending him a special ambassador, considering Fitzwilliam's urgent desire to be recalled after his long abode there. (2.) As no conclusion could be taken by Wolsey at Calais for pacifying the differences between Francis and the Emperor, it was agreed that ambassadors should be sent to the King ... "tendering the good of peace as well * * * bishop of Elve and mons. de Cas[tres] ... [amb]assadors sufficiently authorized with ample commission further [to] treat." The King therefore hopes Francis will likewise send ambassadors. Here Cheyne shall [try of] himself to cause the French king to send his ambassador, and mark what answer he makes. (3.) The King is informed that the duke of Albany has arrived in Scotland; and though he cares little for his being there, he marvels at this sudden alteration, considering the oath of the French king, and the danger to the young king of Scots being under the custody of the Duke, who is next heir apparent to the crown, as well as the injuries done by Albany to the King in abusing his sister and procuring divorces in the court of Rome, for his own wife in France, and for the Queen and Angus, with a view to marrying her. If the Duke has gone against the French king's mind, it is incumbent upon Francis to show that it was so, and, seeing that Albany is his subject, with so great lands in his dominions to punish him. Cheyne shall therefore urge him to declare expressly to the nobles of Scotland that the Duke departed without his consent, and exhort them not to favor him. (4.) Cheyne shall make inquiry of [the Deputy] at Calais whether he has been informed of the time when the French king's officers are to be there for payment of the King's money. "[And if] no certainty be yet known thereof, then the said Sir Thomas ... King's said deputy on the King's behalf, to advertise him at ... any advertisement shall be thereof given to h[im] ... toward the French king, and to put the French king in [mind that] the days of payment be expired and gone long time past, and that the [King] marvelleth of this delay in payment more now than heretofore; marking substantially [such] answer as he shall make thereunto, as also the towar[dness] ... in sending his officers to Calais with the day ... he shall prefix for contentation and payment therewith, whereunto he [is bound] under the censures of the Church, which to break were dangerous." (5.) He shall show the King's desire for the continuance of amity, which he has preserved, although required by virtue of the treaties passed at London, both by the late Pope and the Emperor, to give assistance against him. (6.) If asked by the French king or council [why] the King equips ships, he may say that while the Electors have solicited the Emperor to proceed to Italy for the imperial crown, the King has always advised him rather to cross to Spain; and though the King has always endeavored to establish peace, he has been requested by the Emperor to assist him, not to invade France, but to conduct him over the sea in surety. (7.) As Francis, at the mediation of Worcester and the bishop of Ely, expressed himself willing to allow the neutrality of the county of Burgundy to my lady Margaret, Cheyne shall urge him to adhere to his promise. Lady Margaret has well deserved to stand neutral by her efforts for peace, and if anything were attempted against her said county, she might desire aid of the King by the treaty of London. (8.) The ambassador is to note all communications, make good espial for news. and send information to the King by ciphers; for which purpose, Fitzwilliam will leave his clerk with Cheyne, and Cheyne will acquaint Fitzwilliam with his charge, and be present at the overture thereof to the French king.

	Arrived at Rouen on Thursday, Jan. 22. The French king, who had been to see the New Haven and ships, arrived the same night. Met Fitzwilliam, and showed him my instructions. Next day we sent to Francis to know when I should come to him. He desired us to put it of till next day, as he had appointed those of the town to be with him that day, and he was anxious to see the Queen, who had been delivered of a son, whom they call the count of Angewellame. We came to his presence on the 25th. He heard my charge as favorably as possible, and said,—(1.) That he was sorry Fitzwilliam was to leave, but since he must return, was glad I had come in his place. (2.) That he had sent his ambassadors with as large authority as he had promised. (3.) That he took God to record he had done all in his power to keep Albany in France, for which purpose he had offered to make him captain of the Swiss, but he declined, and had afterwards told him that he could not do him so great a displeasure as to go to Scotland; With great difficulty he had exacted a promise from him that he should not go, and for the more surety had sent him to my Lady, desiring her to manage him so that he should not go, but she saw there was no trusting him, and Francis sent to all the ports to forbid him to pass, but he had gone before the order came. For the King's sake he would discharge Albany of his men-at-arms in France, and all other offices he had confiscate his lands and goods, and his wife's also, and declare to the nobles of Scotland that he is much displeased at his going. But he trusted the King would not require him to declare himself against the states of Scotland, his old allies. (4.) He said the money should not fail to be sent straight. (5.) He said he knew the King had been desired by the Pope and the Emperor to do him displeasure, but his trust in him was not shaken. (6.) No question was put to me about the ships. (7.) He said it was true he had promised my lord Chamberlain that my lady of Savoy's lands should be neutral, but the Emperor had changed his purpose on such points as my said Lord showed him, and they of the county made incursions daily into his duchy of Burgundy, sometimes to the number of 500 horse; but, for the King's sake, he was willing, if they make no incursions into his countries, to make none into her lands. He said they of the county had sent to the Swiss desiring them to be neutral, on which the Swiss sent to him, and he asked them what surety they would find that they of the county would not invade him; to which he has not yet received an answer. I think he may be entreated in these matters, for Fitzwilliam says he was wont to be more obstinate. I have not yet delivered your letter to my Lady, because she is at St. Germain's, where the French queen is lying in. Tomorrow the King goes thither, and Fitzwilliam and I with him. I have notified the King that I have written the effect of my charges to you. Beg to be excused that my wit and experience have not enabled me to do it so well as Fitzwilliam, in whose praise the gentlemen of the court speak highly. Rouen, 26 Jan. Signed.

Jan. Calig. D. VIII. 180. B. M.	1994. [FRANCIS I.] to LA BATIE and POILLOT.
	I have received your first and second letters, relating the conversations you have had with the king of England and the cardinal of York. The whole question is whether my good brother intends to maintain his fraternal love and alliance. As to the suspicions which he says have arisen, I have done nothing openly or covertly against the amity between us. The going of the duke of Albany into Scotland was much more against my will than his; but he found means to escape when I was much occupied by the war. I am sending a gentleman into Scotland to command him to return. The taking of some English ships by my subjects was against my will. If I had those who did it, I would punish them. Englishmen frequently rob my subjects, which I suppose is not agreeable to him.
	I trust that the suspicions mentioned in your instructions, which I might have against him, are unfounded; yet I think it very strange that this treaty of Bruges was concealed from me, and also the powder and balls which are going to Antwerp;—that his subjects go and take the Emperor's pay;—that the English scholars at Paris have returned home, and also the daughter of Mr. Boullan, while ships were being made at Dover, and musters taken in England, the rumor being that it was to make war on France. Nevertheless, if Henry desire it, I will do what I can to withdraw the duke of Albany, and we will renew our treaties by chapters and oaths; and if he desire to add an article for offensive war upon just quarrel, according to the power shown by the Cardinal to my Chancellor at Calais, I will agree, either with a general reservation of allies, or specifically against his enemies and mine.
	I do not know if he find it difficult to maintain the friendship of myself and the Emperor elect, considering the enmity between us; but he must choose between neutrality and a declaration for one or the other. As to neutrality, I should not be dissatisfied; but if he were to declare against me, I should consider it a great wrong, after all the familiarities, oaths and treaties between us. I am willing to do everything to satisfy him in the things which he has demanded of me. If he had been in my case, I should have helped him personally, and with all I had. If he will consider well, he will see that the war made upon me by the Emperor elect is against God, justice and honor, as shown by the articles delivered to you. And if he will compare the friendship of myself and the Emperor, he will find the difference, both in surety, in persons and in power; but if he should declare against me, I hope to provide for it. I content myself with my own, which the Emperor does not do; and my good brother should consider what is likely to happen, if the Emperor retain his purpose, now that a Pope has been made entirely at his devotion. The Emperor's ambassadors, at the last diet at Zurich, held on Saturday after the feast of Kings, offered the lords of the Leagues to make a league against France, and assured them that England would join, and give them plenty of pay. The Emperor pretends to put the duke of Barri in possession of Milan, in order that the Swiss and Italians may not be jealous of his greatness; but if my army were out of Italy, the first thing he would do would be to occupy the duchy, and consequently the whole of Italy, including even the patrimony of the Church, which the Pope, being his creature, would not deny. He has told the lords of the Leagues that I have broken the five years' truce, and that he was thus prevented from going to war against the Infidels, although it is notorious who is the real cause of war. Nevertheless, the lords of the Leagues have refused his demand, and declared their resolution to adhere to their alliance with France; for which cause, on Friday next, 20,000 men will leave the cantons, with the principal captains of those countries, and the banners they have been accustomed to carry in their own wars. They will be led by my uncle the Grand; Master and the marshal De Chabannes, and will meet with little opposition in the duchy, where my gens d'armerie have already driven out the enemy, except the banished men.
	I send, for my good brother's satisfaction, the instructions delivered to my Chancellor when he went to Calais, with his power to treat with the ambassadors of the Emperor. The whole consists of three points: (1.) the maintenance of treaties; (2.) the surety of the same for the future; and, (3.) recompense for the injuries done to me. If you find they have recourse to dissimulation, as they had at Calais, break off at once entirely. I was sorry my Chancellor showed so much patience with them at Calais, their dissimulations were so transparent. As to Henry's complaint, that I have attempted to treat with the Emperor by other means than through him, it is not true. All that I have done has been at his intercession, and I never gave any charge to Mouhye, as La Batie knows. As to what he says, that Robertet was to meet a secretary of the Emperor to arrange a treaty, it is truce that an Italian named Abbatis, who was with the Chancellor of Flanders at Calais, came to me at Paris, to say that if I would send Robertet to Cambray, the Emperor would send Hannart his secretary, which I would not consent to. He then asked me for a safeconduct for the secretary of the dowager of Savoy, to be sent by her to my mother; which I granted; but I know not whether he came or not. I think not. As to the pilgrimage of my mother, she never thought of it. The King and Wolsey ought to know by this time the fictions which proceed from that house.

	Arrived in Rome yesterday. Hears that Mr. Dean has certified him of the late election. Needs not, therefore, touch that subject. The Cardinals dare not move one foot out of their houses, "for fear of the people, which hourly crieth out against them, to their great rebuke and shame, by reason of the said election." They now see the necessity of a Pope of some reputation and substance to help the Church in its extreme decay, occasioned by the wars of Leo X. It is a shame to see the verses made here against them. Campeggio praises the Dean's diligence in advancing Wolsey's cause. Cardinal Sion has done the same, "whom with the cardinal S. Quatuor I shall visit tomorrow, because they sit all this day in the council." Has seen letters from Switzerland, stating that the bastard of Savoy and the count Galeas have obtained aid from six cantons, to recover the duchy of Milan, and that they have sent to the Venetians to keep their amity with the French.

	Wrote his last on the 26th. The Emperor wonders at the long tarrying of Dr. Knight, and the absence of news, especially considering the urgency of the French with the Swiss. If they join the French against Milan to the number demanded, the Emperor's affairs will be ruined. Lady Margaret does not agree well with the Chancellor, and considers his device for the Emperor's going to Rome very prejudicial. Her reasons are generally approved. He had been informed by the dean of Neuell, an acquaintance of Wingfield's, that John Hannart was in communication with a French secretary at Cambray. This news was communicated to the Dean, the Bishop's vicar there, by the sieur De Pottelles, brother to the bishop of Palermo, who has long dwelt with the lady of Vandom, and is said to be "as good French as the best born in Paris." Spinelly mentioned it to the Emperor, and obtained leave to send one of his own servants after Hannart, by whom he found that there was no truth in the report. Thinks it necessary to mention this, "because the lord Nassow beareth to .. favor."
	The Emperor must obtain assistance or make truce without delay; difficult things both. Brussels, 29 Jan. 1522.

	Is so dolorous and full of annoy he dare not venture into Wolsey's presence. Implores his compassion; "albeyt I grant I haif deservyt punycioun, and am under the Kyngis mercy and zouris, not for ony falt or demeritt of my aune, but by raisoun of thair untreuth that causit me labor for the wele of thair prince and thair securite, quhilk now has wrocht thair aune confusioun and perpetuall schayme, and has servit me as your gracie may considdyr, that sollistit the Kingis hyenes and zoure grace to wrytt and doo for thame so oftyn tymez and so largely." Is more deceived himself than anyone else, and is weary of his life. Promises to God and Wolsey that he will never take part with Albany or the unworthy earl of Angus without Wolsey's orders, or return to Scotland while "this wicked Duke" is there.
	Hopes his brother will take his counsel, though "zon zoung wytles fwyll has runnyn apoun his aune myscheyf." Doubtless he has been shown feigned letters, and threatened "that the lord Hwme and utheris wald pas in, and lefe him allane;" that the Bishop would be detained in England, and that Albany's secretary, Galter, had appointed with the King for his destruction, and the marriage of his master to the Queen.
	The letters which Wolsey caused the Bishop to send from Hampton Court on St. Thomas's Day did not reach his brother till the 14th Jan., so that he remained comfortless, and the others effected their purpose. "Wald God I had send ane servand of my aune with tha writingis, or past my self with thame in cais I had lyin vij. zeris eftir in preson!" Diligence might have done good, though nothing can excuse his breach of promise to the King, for which he prays God he may see him punished. Hopes Wolsey, nevertheless, will remember the welfare of the King his master, who is entirely innocent. This was the chief object of his coming to England, though he would have sought his own and his friends' welfare also. Begs to know what he shall do to serve his young King.

We then went to my Lady, and told her I had declared my instructions to her son. She said he had told her so, and gave me the same answer as the King and the Admiral did. She asked why all this preparation was made in England fro the Emperor. I answered her according to my instructions, with which she was satisfied, and said she could not believe the King had any but a good intent. I said you did not do it to invade any of her son's dominions, or displease him or his. "I cannot perceive, but by their sayings, your grace shall rule everything here as ye woll yourself." I do not send the news, or a long account of our conversation, as Fitzwilliam can tell you by mouth. My Lady and the Admiral both seemed sorry for his departure. St. Germain's, 31 Jan. Signed.

	The King's letters to be sent to noblemen and gentlemen of England, to put themselves and [their servants] in readiness and make certificate by a day, according to the device in the said letters, whereupon a book may be made, and persons chosen to serve at the King's pleasure. After the master of the ordnance, who has now gone to Valenciennes to prepare the King's artillery in the Low Countries, Sir Robt. Wingfield must be sent to the lady Margaret to know what aid may be had from those parts. The King's army should be 16,000 English foot, 2,000 English mounted archers, 4,000 foreign foot and 3,000 foreign horse. The following officers must be appointed: a lieutenant, if the King does not go in person; captains of the van, middle and rear wards; a chief marshal with an under marshal in every ward; a treasurer; chief masters of the ordnance, the victuals and the carriages, with an under-master in each ward. A book has been made of the proper proportion of ordnance. Ships must be appointed with an army of 3,000 men, to guard the seas for the transport of victuals and men, and to prevent the enemy from annoying the realm. Expert purveyors of victuals must be appointed, as Welden, Brisewode and others, joined to some person "that is langaged." As Albany remains in Scotland only to annoy this realm, a nobleman must be deputed as lieutenant of the north parts by Midsummer, and must ascertain the number of men who can be contributed by the shires "aliable" in case of need. In the meantime, he may cause raids to be made by the garrisons already established and by the Borderers, and must order Candishe to oversee the mounting of the ordnance at Berwick. Victuallers must be appointed, rates made, and staples and places assigned for the provision and carriage of victuals northwards, for which George Lawson and Atteclif are thought meet. Ships must be appointed to guard the North Seas. If the King pass the sea in person, some one should be appointed to govern the realm in his absence with a substantial council, to provide for money, &c. for the army, and to administer justice. Ships and hoys must be provided in the five ports and in Flanders, for transporting the army. Commissioners must be appointed to conduct the ships, to view their portage and allot them, as well as for taking musters near the sea side, when the army shall pass.
