16 Feb. Add. MS. 28, 578, f. 52. B. M.	5301. CHARLES V. to MUXETULA.
	Suspects he is not fully informed of the state of the divorce question. Knows that cardinal Campeggio has obtained an express commission from the Pope to proceed in it. Nevertheless, with a brief of the Pope directed to the Queen, he told her, in his credence on the part of the Pope, that he was sent for that purpose, and advised her to avoid greater inconveniences by entering some monastery, which she has not chosen to do, maintaining what is due to her own honor and conscience. And although she has not herself objected to the partiality of the tribunal, which she does not dare to do, and is not allowed advocate, nor proctor, nor writings to defend herself, it would be unreasonable that a matter should be determined in England in which the King himself is a party. Neither can we safely send the original of the dispensation in our possession, seeing that it is a matter which touches the validity of the dispensation and the authority of the Holy See. The Pope ought to revoke the cause to Rome, at the Emperor's sole request, and recall the commission given to Campeggio. Approves of the advice given by Mendoza to search the registers for the dispensation; but even if the register be lost it does not affect the justice of the Queen's cause, because we have already sent hence an authentic copy, and have the original in our hands. Is sorry to hear of the Pope's sickness. His death might create a schism in Christendom. Toledo, 16 Feb. 1529.

16 Feb. R. O.	5302. SIR GREGORY CASALE to VINCENT CASALE.
	As Peter (Vannes) writes to Wolsey of the King's affairs, I shall say nothing to you, except that here we spare no pains. Although nothing can be done at present in consequence of the Pope's infirmity, I do not cease to make all the interest I can with Salviati and S. Quatuor. I do not know what to hope of Dr. Stephen's mission, and how far the Pope ought to pronounce the brief produced by the Queen a forgery. I think his Holiness will do nothing; and you may tell Wolsey so, in the event of his desiring my opinion. I hear you have told him that if the Pope's fears were removed, he would do everything for the King, licita et illicita. But if you rightly remember, I told you that the Pope would do all that could be done; for there are many things which the Pope says he cannot do, veluti esset bulla decretalis; and so he will say of that brief, that he can pass no decision on a brief emanating from pope Julius, in the event of its being brought from Spain. But, suppose he would, they cannot remove the fears of his Holiness, not even with a guard of 2,000 foot; for when the Pope was defended by 30,000 troops of the League, and when Lautrec was successful. I saw how much he was afraid of the Colonnas and Imperialists. Now he will be more afraid in consequence of his success. Nothing but the liberation of Italy will remove his fears. When, therefore, you say that the Pope will do illicita, that must be understood quæ aliquo modo possint colorari. If you remember, one of the reasons for my sending you to England was to tell the King and Wolsey that they should make some other arrangement; because, if the Pope's fears were altogether removed, he will never do what we should want of him. He will, however, use all his efforts for peace, and go hither and thither to secure it, wherever we ask him; but I do not think he will consent to any of the terms brought by my fellow ambassadors.
	I would have sent the bulls for Winchester, had not Dr. Stephen told me that he wished to have some alteration made in them.
	Tell Wolsey I have employed all my interest, and that of my friends, in expediting them, and with the greatest success that could have been expected. In about eight days we shall be able to negotiate with the Pope. The state of Italy grows worse. The influence and exactions of the Imperialists are on the increase, nor do I see how they can be resisted. It will be necessary for Francis to appoint the duke of Ferrara as captain general of the forces. Rome, 16 Feb.

	As to the grants he sends for them to seal for the use of the college at Ipswich, the dean of our college and the canons of my Lord's grace's college at Oxford cannot seal them without further licence; for one clause for alienating possessions in London, Blackamore, Gingemargarete, Wyllyngale, Bowellys, Bromefelde, Shellow, Norton, Whytell, Sowthewelde, Kelldon and Stondon, Essex, would include lands lately belonging to the monastery of Thoby, which they have no licence to alienate. Wishes the said clause to be altered, and restricted to the former possessions of the monastery of Blackamore, or else they must have a further licence. Oxenford, 16 Feb.

	On the receipt of the despatch of Curson, of which they wrote on the 12th and 15th, sent in all speed to the Emperor to tell him they had news from England to declare to him. Enclose a copy of their letters to him. Have today received a letter from him by the president of the Chancery, of which they enclose a copy, desiring them, if they have anything from the King, to come to him before he leaves Toledo, which he intends to leave in the beginning of March. In order to keep him still in doubt whether they have anything from the King to him, only made answer to the president that they would prepare with all diligence. The president told them that the Emperor had appointed a man to see them lodged, and that they must make haste, or his Majesty would have left. Pretended that it would be very inconvenient to them to miss the Emperor, but that they must wait for him who is sent by the King. Think in truth that it will be more expedient to find the Emperor already departed, for if they were to propose to him the matter of the divorce, which he would take ill, just at his departure, they would get no answer, and he would have many days' leisure to excogitate some new practises. Could not follow the thing for lack of the briefs. Will, therefore, propose a new thing to him, until they "have him in some place standing," even if they follow him to Barcelona. See no preparation for the voyage to Italy. The great men have not yet been summoned. Wish to know the King's and Wolsey's pleasure. Ghinucci sends considerations by which the truth touching the brief may be tried. Valladolid, 17 Feb. 1529.
	The president has just sent to say that they ought to write to the Emperor. Were somewhat perplexed, lest, if they refused, the Emperor might suspect that they had nothing to say from the King, and stop their coming. On the other side they considered Wolsey's commands. Enclose their answer to him. Could not avoid writing that they had something to say to him from the King, but will verify it only-in the letters touching the divorce. Signed.

R. O.	5307. LEE to BRIAN TUKE.
	We sent you two packets by sea and land, 12 and 15 Feb., "and now with haste do again this." Refers him to the cipher. Did not sufficiently mark the transumpt sent to us last year in Jan. after the intimation, which my lord of Worcester says was of a bull and not of a brief. That is a matter which more toucheth his faculty; "albeit, seeing that the transumpt, which we see was sealed with the Emperor's confessor's seal, and subscribed only with the hand of Almayn, and not Martyne, I may well think the same." I observed that the transumpt bore date about the time Philippes was with the Emperor, i.e., when my lord Cardinal was in France. My lord of Worcester now sends "considerations whereby somewhat the truth may be known." Pity that falsehood should have victory. Has sent letters to the Master of the Rolls to be forwarded to Tuke. Begs that money may be provided by Vivaldi, this running up and down is so expensive. Expects to have to follow the court to Barchinona.

	Today the president sent to them to say that he had another letter desiring them to make haste to Toledo. Could not get there more than a day or two before he leaves, and fear that if they opened the matter when they could not follow it up, that they would not be allowed to follow the court. Nothing can be conveniently done before the coming of the rescripts. When they arrive, will know how the matter may be solicited toward the Pope's messenger; and they think it best to delay their going to the court until his arrival. The only colour for this delay is that they are expecting the King's servant, and that the despatch is still in his hands. When this will not serve, must desire some other. If they proposed this measure when they had no leisure to speak of the other, they might be commanded to remain, and so lose all hope of entering into communication. They will have a much better opportunity if they wait till he is stationary for a time. Neither Curson nor the Queen's servant have come, and they do not know where they are, but they hear that the Emperor has sent a safe-conduct for Curson. A person whom they sent to the Court tells them that the Emperor will go towards Barcelona on March 1. Valladolid, 19 Feb. 1529.

20 Feb. Vit. B. XI. 82. B. M.	5313. WOLSEY to SIR GREGORY CASALE and PETER VANNES.
	Thanks them for the trouble they have taken about the bulls of Winchester. Although he supposes they have been ascertained by Gardiner of what concerns the King's matter and his own affairs, thought it well to send another letter in Latin, to be shown to the Cardinals, to induce them to consent to a lower sum. If they will not grant the bulls for 5,000 or 6,000 ducats, they have little regard to his merit, or to the profit which will accrue to them by his acceptance of Winchester. Has already the profits of the see by the King's grant, and can hold them with Durham without any bulls. If it were not for the evil example, would not give 1,000 ducats for the bulls. The spiritualties of Winchester, which he can enjoy during the vacancy by virtue of his legateship, are not worth 300 ducats a year, and the temporalties he has already. Doubts not that the Cardinals on hearing this will be liberal in granting the bulls, in the expedition of which he begs them to use all diligence. Will perform all obligations and promises which they make on that behalf.
	Anthony Vivalde acknowledges that the banker at Venice has absented himself, and 10 days ago he sent a kinsman of his to recover what he could, and to make provision for the payment of the 8,000 ducats. He writes also to his agents at Rome to pay the 2,000 ducats at the easiest possible price, and to provide 6,000 ducats more for the bulls, if necessary.
	Doubts not therefore that they will have money enough. Westm., 20 Feb. Signed.

20 Feb. Vit. B. XI. 60. B. M.	5314. WOLSEY to [GARDINER, BRIAN, CASALE, and VANNES].
	By the letters which they will receive from Vincent Casale they will see what was decided by the kings of England and France as to procuring Wolsey's election to the Papacy, for the advancement of which the French king sent the bishop of Bayonne to Rome; and Vincent Casale was dispatched immediately after with instructions, of which copies were also sent by Hercules de Mysolo, nephew of bp. Staphileo. However, when the bishop of Bayonne was between Calais and Paris he heard of the Pope's recovery, and sent word thereof to the King. At the same time Gardiner's letters from Lyons arrived. When the Bishop and Vincent arrived at Paris, and had more certain knowledge of the Pope's recovery, they deferred their journey till they might know the King's pleasure. Meanwhile arrived the ambassadors' letters from Rome dated 28th ult. The King thanks them for what they have done. Hopes soon to have news of the Pope's entire recovery. Wishes them meantime to proceed with their charge, seeing how ready the Pope showed himself to labor in the cause of peace, and also for the advancement of the King's cause, offering to resign the Papacy if he could do any good thereby. But as the Pope's illness is likely to endure, and it would be injurious if he died while they were ignorant of the King's pleasure, Vincent Casale is sent on with the dispatch given him at his departure, and with these letters. These things are to be kept secret, but as they will have some color to speak with cardinals and others on these matters, they should win over as many as they can, showing them the great benefits which will ensue from Wolsey's attainment of the dignity, and advising them to leave the conclave with a protestation, if there is any likelihood of violence. Commends them for having set that forth when the Pope's life was despaired of. They must attend to any means of dispensing with the ordinance compelling the election to be held where the Pope dies.
	Leaves the management of this to their fidelity and wisdom. The King and he are anxious to hear of Gardiner's arrival at Rome, and the Pope's answer to his charge;—which seems likely to be favorable, considering the towardness of his Holiness to please the King, his refusal to make a treaty with the Emperor for the defence of Italy, and his late overtures to John Joachim for a league with the kings of England and France, which they will understand by the enclosed copy of the French king's letter to the bishop of Bayonne. Wishes them to consult John Joachim, and to show the Pope that, although he has not mentioned it to the King, the King is willing to enter such a league. His Holiness then taking upon himself the negotiations for peace, Italy would be safe, whether they took effect or not.
	In all their doings they must have regard to the undelayed perfection of the King's great matter, and in no wise consent that it shall remain in suspense upon any treaty; but they must show the Pope that when a treaty is made, the Emperor will more easily agree if it has been done, and Wolsey would never travel to such a convention until the King were sure of obtaining his request. Neither the King nor himself would be satisfied with any hope that the matter could be settled with the Emperor's consent at the convention. Therefore, if the Pope wishes for peace, he must first settle the King's matter, and the Emperor will with little business take the same in good part, as there will be no remedy; but if the matter is still pending he will be more obstinate, and try to hinder the other things which are to be treated.
	If the Emperor sees that it will be to his benefit to make peace, this cause of matrimony will not prevent him; and he is not accustomed so to ad[here] to his sisters or other near of his blood, that he w[ill] for theirs postpone his own causes. Besides, if the peace did not ensue, war would follow, and then, if the Pope decided the King's matter, it might be thought to be from malice to the Emperor.
	They can assure the Pope that there is no fear of the Emperor's descent into Italy, for the King's ambassadors in Spain write that the voyage has been laid aside, and such preparations will be made in France that they may be well assured the Emperor will not dare attempt the voyage.
	As soon as the King's matter is settled, Wolsey will meet the Pope at any indifferent place, and go into Spain if it is thought convenient. Shows the necessity of choosing an indifferent place, lest the Emperor should get the Pope, the Cardinals and Wolsey into his power. Wishes them to fulfil their instructions about the bishoprics. Westm., 20 Feb.

	Wrote last on the 13th, enclosing the bulls concerning Winchester. The Pope soon after relapsed into fever, causing great suspicion, but is now gradually recovering his strength, and they expect he will be able to attend to business in a week. After the taking of Aquila, the scattered forces which favored the French betook themselves to Amatrice (ad Matricem), and they will be destroyed unless speedily succoured. Sir Gregory thinks this ought to be attended to immediately. The French ambassador seems to neglect everything, but he has sent a man to Amatrice this evening, to ascertain how aid can best be sent. The abbot of Farfa, who came too late to save Aquila, has been asked to use the money he brought with him to defend Amatrice. He promises to do whatever the ambassadors of the Allies think best. Sir Gregory is using all his efforts to protect the kingdom of Naples from the Imperialists. Renzi is too far from the Imperialist army to be of any service. The Imperialists have not restored Hostia and Civita Vecchia, and are waiting to see if the Pope recovers. Have received letters from the man sent by Sir Gregory to Foligni, saying that he has been able to find nothing concerning our business. Rome, 21 Feb. 1529. Signed.

24 Feb. R. O.	5320. THOS. DONYNGTON to WOLSEY.
	Has delivered to the dean and treasurer of York his letters for obtaining the lease and dimission of the parsonage of Bishopburton, appropriate to the "divident" of his church of York. The Dean was obedient to the letters, but the Treasurer is obstinate, and says he has granted the parsonage to a servant of his, named Mowmforde, "who hath married one that he is affectionate unto." The Dean has offered him another freehold for his servant, but nothing will satisfy him. He has sent up the said servant to Wolsey, and he will deliver the lease, if he cannot persuade him to the contrary. Thinks he intends to defer the matter till the assize is passed, and so disappoint Wolsey, unless he will take the lease immediately on the servant's arrival, and send it to York before the assize, when the Dean will make a new lease. Sir Wm. Percy and his lady will make release of all the lands which Wolsey has purchased of Sir. Robt. Ughtred in reversion, and which she has in her dower. He will perform everything mentioned in the book he sent to Wolsey, before the justices of assize in York, which will be in this 4th week in Lent if he can obtain the farmhold of Bishopburton. Has discharged all those who have annuities out of the manor of Kexby. Will send shortly the confirmation of the Chapter for the impropriation of Wetwange, and the consent of the abbot of St. Mary's for the priory and cell of Romesburgh.

To appoint him steward of the said lands for life, and allow him the letting of them meanwhile, if there be any such clause in the book. 3. That the bailiffs and officers of the lordships may continue during lady Percie's life; after her decease Wolsey may gain 3l. a year by taking them into his own hands. 4. To perform the covenants in the book signed by Percy and delivred to Wolsey by Sir Will. Smith, auditor of his college at Oxford; for performance of which "I and my friends stondeth bounden to the said Sir William Percie in an 100l., before he and his wife made the said release." 5.

	A servant of yours was today in a high place (en lieu haut et grand), where some conversation took place about the said negociation for peace, and he said that it would be a great wrong to the cardinal of York if arbitration were had recourse to without reference to him. Answer was made to him by one who understood matters (par qui peut et entend) that it was well remembered in him, and that in such case, rather than not attain so great a good, they would make the Pope St. Peter, and Wolsey St. Paul. 24 Feb.

25 Feb. Vit. B. X. 76. B. M.	5325. HERCULES MISSOLUS to WOLSEY.
	Did not write from Dover or Calais. Arrived here at Paris on Feb. 23, at 7 p.m. Gave Wolsey's letter to Vincent Casale, and desired him to make all haste to Rome, with the letters and instructions for Dr. Stephen. He left on Wednesday, Feb. 24, at 7 p.m. Went with the bishop of Bayonne to the King at Illiers (villa S. Heliæ), 30 leagues from Paris. Were well received by the King, who said that the Bishop should do all he could for Wolsey. Will wait here till next Monday for further instructions, and then proceed to Rome. The Bishop is devoted to Wolsey, and will spare no pains. Thinks he had better stay here to persuade the King to do what Wolsey wishes, for it will not be easy to find another like him.
	Has saluted the cardinal of Lorraine, who professes his devotion to Wolsey. Has given Wolsey's letters to D. Thalerius (Taylor), and told him he was about to send a courier to England, but he said he had nothing to send. He and the bishop of Bayonne are angry with Missolus, because Wolsey blames them for having detained Casale, in consequence, as they think, of his reports. Yesterday letters came from Florence, dated 12th instant, saying that letters of the 6th from Rome stated that the Pope was suffering from a double tertian and a pain in the head. The physicians did not know the cause, and had sent to Milan for a physician.
	Milan is in the greatest necessity, and almost without soldiers, so that if the French join the Venetians and the Milanese it could be easily taken, and Genoa would then capitulate. The bishop of Bayonne says that the French king sent two days ago 40,000 ducats to the count of St. Pôl, whom Missolus believes to be at Alexandria, and about to besiege Cassella. The Venetians have furnished him with artillery and powder, and are preparing a fleet to intercept the Emperor, or attack the coasts of Apulia, Calabria and Sicily. It is reported that the French have retaken Aquila, and that the prince of Orange has retired to Naples, and is very short of money. De Langes, the brother of the bishop of Bayonne, is coming to England, instead of the person previously mentioned. Paris, Thursday, 25 Feb. 1529.
