26 March.	656. Henry VIII. to the Deputy and Council of Ireland. (fn. 1)
R. O. St. P., iii. 292.	Has received their letters of 14 Nov., with devices for Leinster, and their other letters (fn. 2) by the bearers, the King's serjeant and attorney there, together with such acts and instructions as they brought. Thanks for their travail to reduce the Cavanaghs, Otholes and Brynnes. Has already despatched Tirlogh Othole in such sort as to induce others to do their duty; as the letters sent by the said Tirlogh will have shown. (2) Disapproves their advice for a great master and others to keep Leinster in obedience, but trusts them, “without the new erection of any such fantasies,” to bring it to better order than hitherto. (3) Has caused the acts for the Parliament to be perused and sends such as are approved to be passed. (4) Does not mislike their advice to dispose of march lands which have come to his hands by attainder, surrender, suppression or otherwise; but before giving things of such value and moment, must know what they are, and under what conditions to be disposed. They shall therefore make surveys and divide the lands into convenient portions and send a schedule of such Englishmen as have done service and are meet to inhabit there. (5) Gives directions for the sale of the late Friars' houses, under certain conditions, by the Deputy, Chancellor, Baron Wealshe, John Mynne, Wm. Candishe, and the Chief Justice. (6) As to their advice for the repair of Tryme Castle, in which they say the country offers to bear a large share; authorises them to spend 200l. on it. (7) Sends bills signed for the persons to be ennobled. (fn. 3) The Chancellor shall make out the patents and the Deputy deliver them and place the parties in the Parliament house. As the creation of the earl of Ormond can only pass by the King's investiture, it is deferred until he may come hither. (8) In case of the Irishry who are forced to yield to the King, or offer of themselves to submit, the greater are to be sent hither to receive their pardon and lands from the King, or at least their pardons must be sent from hence, the meaner sort shall be taken into obedience by the Deputy, Chancellor, and Chief Justice. In every case lands are to be given upon the conditions lately sent touching Tirlogh Othole. (9) The castles at Kinsade, Togircarbre, Bellaghnewye and Castle Kessewoney are to be built and repaired. (10) Sends a bill signed for Walsh's pardon. (11) As to the letters the late lord Crumwell sent to the Vice-Treasurer there for payments; such as are certainly for the King's service shall be paid and the rest respited. (12) Granted to the bearers, the King's Serjeant and attorney the lands they sued for, at 20 years' purchase, but considering their services, hereby authorises the Chancellor to make out their patents at 15 years' purchase. P.S.—Has received their letters of 21 Feb. and replies as follows. (1) Is pleased with the frank submission of the earl of Desmond, and coming in of McGilpatrick, to whom they shall grant his lands with the conditions appointed to Tirlogh Othole. Sends signed bill appointing him lord of the Parliament. After Parliament, would gladly see Desmond and McGilpatrick here. Sends Parliament robes for both. As to OBrien, it shall be better for him to come in. Has heard nothing of McWilliam. (2) A good sum of money is ready to be sent for payment of the garrison. (3) Where they desire to have a son of the late baron of Delvyn preferred to the abpric. of Armachan; wishes the party sent hither that he may see him and know how he is qualified for such a dignity. (4) Grants and sends signed bill for the 20l. annuity to Donough OBrien. (5) Charges for posts shall be paid, if bills are sent to the Council attending the King. (6) The revenues of lord Leonard's lands are to be employed on the King's affairs, but a separate account kept. (7) Sends an act of general pardon. (8) Approves their “stay of the room of High Marshall.” (fn. 4) (9) Where they have made an act for the establishment of leases and sales of wards and other things made heretofore, “having no former transumpt from hence of the same”; although determined in nowise to condescend to the same, will, if they send particulars of what they desire to have ratified, take such order that none need complain.

26 March.	660. The Privy Council to Lord William Howard.
R. O. St. P., viii. 544.	The King has received your letters by Norfolk, but the French ambassador has made no such declaration as you write of; so you must remind them gently of their promise, and require such answer in that matter as may declare that they tender reason and amity, and that you have done your duty. The King is pleased with the stay of the letters to the Admiral, and wishes them remitted hither. The King before advertised you what to say of the matter of Sir John Wallop, and now commands us to inform you what has been done both in that and touching Sir Thos. Wyat, so that you may declare the same as of yourself. It was once appointed that Sir Ric. Long should wait for Wallop at Sittingborne and convey him to the King's house in Southwark to be secretly examined; but this order was changed and he came freely to London. There he was sent for to the Lord Privy Seal's house, and examined by the Lord Chancellor, Great Master, Admiral, and others of the Privy Council. At first he stood very stiffly to his truth, not calling to remembrance what he had himself written and said contrary to the duty of a good subject; but when the King, of his goodness, caused his own letters to Pate, “that traitor,” to be shown him he cried for mercy, refusing all shifts, for the things were most manifest. However, he protested he had done the things for no malicious purpose. He wrote a book of all these follies and offences to be presented to the King and refused all trial, only yielding to the King's mercy; and as his first denials seemed due to forgetfulness, “being a man unlearned,” and great intercession was made for him and Wyat by the Queen, the King has pardoned him and holds him in no less estimation than ever. Wyat acted in the same way, and at the great suit of the Queen, the King pardoned him. Their pardons have been delivered and they sent for hither to Dover to the King. P.S.—The King revokes the order to remit the Admiral's letters. If the Admiral be restored to his old favour, Howard shall give him the King's congratulations. Corrected draft in Wriothesley's hand, pp. 7. Endd.: Minute to my lord William Howard, 26 March, at night.
27 March.	661. The Privy Council.
Nicolas' P.C.P., vii. 164.	Meeting at Dover, 27 March. Present: Norfolk, Privy Seal, Gt. Chamb., Gt. Admiral, Treasurer, Mr. of Horse, Vice-Chamb., Wriothesley, Sadler. Business:—A letter (in form of a certificate, dated 25 March, and signed by Matravers, Wotton, and Ringeley), desiring licence for 10 ton of beer, 8 weighs cheese, 20 flitches bacon, 10½ barrels butter, 200 stock fishes, to be shipped to Calais, was signed by Norfolk, Privy Seal, Gt. Chamb., and Gt. Admiral, and sent to the Lord Chancellor. A letter sent to Sir Geo. Lawson to pay conduct money for 60 horsemen and a captain, whom Sir Thos. Wharton, Sir Wm. Musgrave, and John Heron of Chipchase, were appointed to levy on the Borders.
27 March.	662. Chapuys to Charles V. (fn. 5)
Spanish Calendar VI., Pt. i., No. 155.	His letter of the 19th ult. has come to hand with the proclamation against English “merchant ships” lading goods in his ports in Spain and the Low Countries. Neither the King nor his Councillors have said anything to me about it, but they have amplified the prohibition decreed here on almost all goods except dressed cloths, with confiscation of property and imprisonment for transgressors. For a beginning, the Council ordered the confiscation of a Dutch ship (fn. 6) and cargo, because, on her return from Andalucia, she was driven by stress of weather to Southampton, where one of the inhabitants (fn. 7) gave her captain five bales of wool, which the Dutch skipper took openly on board, in total ignorance of the prohibition. All my remonstrances have been useless, and I much doubt if I can obtain compensation for the skipper, as they say the ship was seized in consequence of the Emperor's proclamation. The Council also have been making excessive demands of Spanish merchants here for the Subsidy, which they have not paid. But about a fortnight ago it was published that all foreign merchants [not] excepting Spaniards and Frenchmen, were to pay what was due of the said Subsidy within three days. Eight days ago arrived the count of Tes, (fn. 8) a gentleman of the Chamber of king Francis, sent, as far as I can gather, to visit the King on account of his last indisposition. Has not been able to hear what he has been negotiating, but he has had no long audiences. They have shown him the Tower and Hampton Court, and he left yesterday for France, going by Dover, where the King is now attending to the repair of the harbour and fortress which he has been constructing for some time past. Norfolk and the three gentlemen of the King's Chamber who went to the North have been back six days. They have done nothing there, but they leave an engineer (fn. 9) to report about fortifications to be made and where. The King lately took his Queen to Greenwich, and as it was the first time since her marriage that she had passed through London by the Thames the people gave her a splendid reception, and the Tower guns saluted her. From this triumphal march she took occasion to ask the release of Wyatt, which the King granted, though on hard conditions, viz., (1) that he should confess his guilt; and (2) that he should take back his wife from whom he had been separated upwards of 15 years, on pain of death if he be untrue to her henceforth. On the same day full pardon and release was given to Mr. Wallop, who, since his return to England, had been detained a prisoner in the house of my lord Privy Seal. He was imprisoned, I hear, for having said something in favour of Pope Paul. Some time before Wallop's return, Palmer, the porter of Calais, and two “prestotz” (prestres?) (fn. 10) of that town were lodged in the Tower, on what charge nobody yet knows. London, 27 March 1541 Spanish Calendar, VI. i. No. 155.
	663. Chapuys to the Queen of Hungary.
Spanish Calendar, vi., Pt. i., No. 154.	Encloses summary of a statute made here some time ago and now promulgated, forbidding exportation of food and other articles, including wool, undressed cloths “de priz,” &c. That shows how little chance there is for those of the Low Countries, &c., to trade and enjoy English commodities. If the Emperor did the same in Spain, it would bring a larger revenue than licences to export wheat from Sicily; and if the export of hops were forbidden in Flanders and of “grance” in Spain these people would cry out and come to terms. It would also help the poor people of the Low Countries, as the merchants who engross these goods would have to pay a higher price, and the prohibition would not last more than two or three months. The King gave the Sieur de Tes (fn. 11) at his departure 300 crs. He has recalled near his person Wyatt and Wallop, who had been imprisoned. London, 3 March (fn. 12) 1541. Original (at Vienna) partly in cipher.
	664. Charles V. to Card. of Toledo.
Add. 28,592, f. 275. B. M.	Headed.: “Fragmento de carta del Emperador al Cardenal Arzobispo de Toledo fecha en Ratisbona a 3 de Marzo de 1541.” * * * After writing I thought well to inform you that there used to be much commerce between our subjects in Flanders and the English, the latter exporting goods in Flemish vessels returning to Flanders and the Flemings in English vessels returning to England. But of late the king of England has made an order forbidding any foreigner or native of his kingdom to lademerchandise except in English ships without paying an exorbitant sum, especially our subjects. On this we gave a similar order for Flanders that no goods should be exported to England except in vessels belonging to our subjects, and that the English should be treated in Flanders as our subjects were in England. The result is that ships going from England to Flanders return without cargoes, and also those that go to England from Flanders. Of this the king of England complains, saying that our order is more strict than his, and has asked us to revoke it. He was told he must revoke his first, and our ambassador in England has written to the Queen our sister that to make him do so an order should be issued in those kingdoms, confirming the old ones against lading merchandise in any but Spanish vessels, and especially those for the confiscation of false cloths exported from England for sale. Sends copy of the ambassador's letter. Spanish, pp. 3. See Spanish Calendar, VI. i. No. 105, which is misplaced in the year 1540.

28 March.	667. Oslander to Justus Jonas.
Corpus Reform., iv. 140.	The Emperor, when he passed here, carried with him the embassies of France and England. The Englishmen were the bp. of Winchester and a certain Count, (fn. 13) in whose company was my old friend Thos. Theobald, by whose means I dined with them, and disputed nearly three hours with Winchester about Justification. When they agreed that Justification was the gift of God, and that Faith was the hand that grasped it, Winchester wished to add Charity as another hand, but the writer stoutly resisted, asserting that by Faith we become sons of God (and then receive His spirit by which Charity is kindled), and it was impious to say that we were not then justified, and absurd to deny that the tree was good before it had borne good fruit. Thereupon the good man discovered himself, for he not only contradicted what he had previously granted, but even denied that Christ suffered for all men. “Est autem homo alioqui aulicissimus et sophisticissimus, sed quales jurisconsulti sophistae sunt, non theologi aut philosophi, virulentiam quandam in colore preferens, alioqui justae ac vivacis staturae.” The Count was a man worthy of all praise. * * * * Nuremberg, 28 March 1541.

Granvelle said he hoped some good effect would follow. He asked whether Ghinucci was a fit person to treat this matter, and the writer replied that he thought him most fit. Ratisbon, 31 March 1541.
