St. P., x. 222. R. O.	Instructions for Bucler and Mont.
	Mr. Buclere and Dr. Mount, taking with them these instructions and the writings prepared for their despatch shall repair to "the said Duke (fn. n1) " and delivering our commendations and letters of credence, say:—
	1. That (where the Duke lately, supposing us at our town of Bulloyn, sent a servant with letters of credence and commission to signify his desire to serve us in person in these wars against France, with such horsemen and footmen as we thought expedient, which servant could not declare his message, as we had returned to England, nor "tarry such answer as we would have sent upon advertisement from our Council then at Bulloyn of his repair to the same") we send "the said A.B." to thank him for his offers. As the Duke's messenger arrived at the dissolving of our army, when our lieutenant and council there could not give such perfect answer as was requisite, we would know whether the said Duke remains in same mind; and, if so, the said A.B. shall desire to have in writing a note of the particulars of his numbers and the entertainment he requires and the articles of "reteyndre." As the Duke's messenger also declared at Bulloyn that the like desire to serve was "in the Landgrave of Hesse, whose daughter the said Duke hath married," they shall take occasion to talk of our long amity towards the Landgrave and the family of Saxony, and the practice not long ago for its establishment by league or treaty and for an agreement "touching matter of religion, remaining then, as they do yet, in some controversy and difference," for which certain Commissioners assembled, but, for want of good handling, parted without concluding. They shall say that no nations in Christendom are so likely to agree, having one enemy, the Bishop of Rome, so that if commissioners of good judgment and learning should confer together with moderation, an agreement must needs ensue. If they find the Duke inclined to an amity and to come to an agreement in religion, they shall say that they intend to advertise us of their discourse; and also that, as the Duke's messenger mentioned the Landgrave, they are commissioned to repair likewise to him, with letters of credence, to commune of these matters. They shall then set forth how kindly we took his gentle offer of service and frank proceeding, and dilate upon the surety which our amity should be to the whole band of their confederacy, marvelling that none of their princes have sought to enter with us by marriage or otherwise, and setting forth the qualities of our two daughters. If the Duke mention Duke Philip's suit for the Lady Mary, they shall say that, because Duke Philip could not perform the conditions, the matter ceased; and, if "the said Duke Maurice" make overture for some other prince in Almain, or say that he knows no meeter personage than Duke Philip, they shall say that they doubt whether we will eftsoons give ear to it for Duke Philip, but if there were any other personage meet for the said marriage his suit would be favourably received.
	They shall then report their whole discourse to us and depart towards the Landgrave, to whom (after delivering the letters of credence) they shall say that being certified by a messenger of his son-in-law Duke Maurice, who offered to serve us in person against the Frenchmen, that the Landgrave bore us earnest goodwill and would also serve us in our present wars, we send them to show that we continue to bear him the love which we declared a few years past by sundry ambassadors, and to thank him and learn his mind therein. If he condescend, they shall desire to have the particulars of his offer in writing, and suggest that if honorable means were devised for the establishment of amity between us and him and his confederates we might easily be induced thereto. Upon his answers if they find him well disposed they shall discourse with him of religion and marriage as with Duke Maurice.
	In case, upon any occasion ministered by Duke Maurice or the Lansgrave, they have a pretext to go to Duke Hans Frederic of Saxony they shall tell the Lansgrave that if they have any answer from us they will return to him with it; and shall then repair to Duke Hans, and, delivering our letters and commendations, say that a messenger having lately been sent to us from Duke Maurice, with offers of his service and that of his father-in-law the Lansgrave, they are sent into these parts, and think it convenient to visit him. If he take it thankfully they shall, of themselves, enter with him of the state of the world, of the General Council now in hand, and of the Bishop of Rome's practices; and take occasion to discourse concerning religion and marriage as with the others. They shall then say that, having written of their proceedings with the Lansgrave and Duke Maurice, they look daily for answer from us and must return to them to report it; but they will also advertise us of their proceedings with him and return to him with the answer.
	They shall then tarry with the Lansgrave till they learn our further pleasure.

	91. Bucler and Mont.
R. O. St. P., x. 278.	The King's instructions to Mr. Buckler, the Queen's secretary, and Mr. Dr. Mounts, sent as his agents to the Landgrave of Hesse.
	First, Mr. Buckler, with these instructions and the letters and writings prepared for this journey, shall secretly repair to Spyr[es], where he will find Dr. Mount, to whom he shall communicate these instructions and declare that we have received his sundry letters to our contentation. Then they shall, together, journey with speed to the Landgrave, deliver our letters of credence and proceed as follows:—
	They shall say that, lately, by Mount's report, we perceived his offer to send us 8,000 or 10,000 footmen and 2,000 horsemen, and his further conference of the affairs of Christendom, and of us and the princes and states there, and of a league between us and the Protestants, including the king of Denmark, with overture of a marriage between Lady Mary and that King's brother, the duke of Holst. We have therefore addressed them specially to him to thank him and to learn particulars, and say that (considering what a number of princes, states and cities are joined together and that we cannot enter their league without the consent of all, which would require either a notable assembly or great delay in sending to each severally, and that our common enemy the Bishop of Rome ceases not to work and finds "no small princes glad to give ear unto the same"), we think it best that we, the king of Denmark, the duke of Holst and himself, with the towns of Lubeck, Hamborough, and Breame and such others as he thinks can come in to us in time, should join forthwith in a league "offensive and defensive" (altered by Paget to "such as they shall think expedient" but afterwards retained). As for the marriage, we thank him for his overture and, having two daughters, both well educated and qualified for a prince of the greatest honor, and "if ought should come to our son without issue (whom God long preserve!) the next inheritors to our realm," there must be honorable conditions offered by the king of Denmark on behalf of his brother (for the man should seek the woman); and we are pleased that the Landgrave should travail therein if he perceives the King well inclined. It will be expedient, considering that the conditions required for our daughters are greater for the one than for the other, that the King of Denmark determine not upon one of them till he knows these conditions, so that if the conditions required for the one are too high, he may yet go through with the other. As the Landgrave seemed, upon his offer of men of war, to desire some reciproque, in case the French king would molest him by the duke of Brunswyke or some other papist; and as the time to employ the men of war approaches, we would know whether the Landgrave will himself lead them (which we much desire and for which he should have decent entertainment) or what other notable men he would send with them, which way they should come and what reciproque he will require. Great expedition being necessary, an embassade should be sent to us speedily, and (considering what a tract of time it would take to send into Denmark and tarry there for answer, and then to send to us and we to send again thither) the Landgrave should be persuaded to send one or two of his Council to the king of Denmark, taking in their way the cities of Lubeck, Hamburgh and Breame, to come direct from thence, with others sent by the said king and cities, fully instructed to conclude with us. No solemnity need be used in this embassade which should come secretly and should be fully authorised and instructed; yet, because there are three points, the league, the marriage and the offer of men of war, the principal point, to which the others are accessories, is the league, which if not speedily concluded cannot help either them or us, the ambassadors must be fully instructed what their masters will do and expect us to do in case of invasion and defension, by land and by sea, how much at the charge of the requirent and how much at theirs that be required, for how long, for traffic in each other's countries and inhibition of enemies' traffic, who shall be reputed a common enemy, maintenance of traitors and rebels, and all other things. [And, that the cities of Lubeck, Hamburgh and Breame may be the readier, we have caused certain of their agents here to be spoken with therein, who have undertaken to write to their towns, nothing doubting of their inclination to the same.] (fn. n2) In case the Landgrave desire that there might be some agreement in religion, mentioning peradventure the return of their last ambassade in vain, he shall be answgred that no prince nor man in the world desires more the glory of God and the true setting forth of His Word than we do; and albeit their commissioners, when here to commune of matters of religion, in conference with our learned men and with us, stood more earnestly upon their Confession than seemed reasonable, or than the truth could bear (since which time divers things upon which they stuck, as set forth by their preachers, are, as their books testify, set forth more modestly) and so departed without conclusion, yet, we both having one common enemy the Bishop of Rome, "unto whose faction no small princes be addicted," and being of like zeal for God's Word and the abolishing of the Bishop of Rome's authority and the superstitions that have crept in with it, no nations in Christendom are more like to agree. If the amity be first agreed upon (for that must be passed out of hand) and he eftsoons address some learned men to confer again with our commissioners upon matters of religion, we trust that a good conclusion will ensue, to the glory of God and establishment of perfect amity between us; to the terror of such as continually practise to hinder the same; as we know that even now there are great practices, wherein Chancellor Naves is a minister and has been this half year, to break the league of the Protestants and dissever the cities from the princes. They shall pray him to keep secret whence he heard this. Finally the Landgrave's answers are to be carefully noted and digested; and they shall advertise us with all diligence of their whole proceedings and of occurrents there.

26 Jan.	92. Wotton to Henry VIII.
St. P., x.259. R. O.	The Emperor having remitted him for answer to Granvelle, he sent next day, Tuesday, 20th inst., to know when to come for it; and was told to come next morning at 8 o'clock. Granvelle, however, only said that the Council had indeed met upon those matters the day before, but he could not give the answer till he had spoken again with the Emperor. Concluded from this that the answer they had determined upon was thought not expedient to be given. Begged him to consider the loss which our merchants sustained by the delay, and that Henry would doubtless, bona fide, observe the accord. Granvelle, "plucking in his shoulders said he did consider it well," and would answer as soon as he could. Has since sent daily for it, but cannot yet get it.
	The count de Challant has shown him that the duke of Savoy, hearing of a universal peace and that the Emperor and Henry would meet, sent the said Count to be present, with letters of. credence to Henry and instructions, which he showed. Seeing now no likelihood of the meeting, the Count gave Wottoo the letters and a copy of the instructions, with a letter of his own (all sent herewith). Sends copy of the treaty betwixt the Emperor and the French king, which he has "gotten of a friend." The ambassador of Savoy says that captain Paulin is sent into Italy with money to convey 17 galleys, of the sort called "gallere renforzate, out of the middle earth seas into our seas." As the four months of deliberation are past, men begin to speak of the alternative of the marriages; and, although the term is thought to be prolonged, it seems that the Emperor "is minded to the marriage of his niece, with the duchy of Mylan." The Emperor departs not hence before Candlemas. Cardinal Meudon and the count de Laval, hostagiers, depart hence, whereby it seems that the French king has observed the treaty. Proclamation is made here that no manner of provisions shall be carried out of the country. This will famish all the Rhine side, which depends on the Low Countries for herring, saltfish, butter and cheese. Bruxelles, 26 Jan. 1544. Signed.

26 Jan.	93. Wotton to Paget.
R. O.	His servant, Hugh Good, returned on the 20th, three hours after he had despatched last into England, by whom he perceives Paget's good comfort for part of his suits and good counsel for the rest. Good also brought a letter from Paget concerning the vicarage of Milton, showing that one Sir Johnson importunes him in that matter. A good while ago, when the vicarage fell void, his fellows of Christchurch, at his request, presented his chaplain Sir Wm. Damporte; but thereupon appeared an advowson granted by the house of Christchurch before it was surrendered, which excluded Damporte at that time. Now, when the benefice again fell void, his said fellows (empowered thereto, as they pretend, by new statutes made since Wotton's departure) of themselves agreed upon the presentation of Damporte, and thereof notified Wotton. Sir Johnson, being one of the house, could not be ignorant of this, and yet obtained the King's letters requiring the Chapter to present him, thus surreptitiously obtaining the King's letters for what he knew to be already given and showing a great want of Christian charity. The matter therefore stands in other terms than Johnson has declared, and, as he has thanked his fellows for their goodness to Damporte, and they have granted the presentation, the writer could not now desire them to present Johnson without showing too great inconstancy. On hearing again from Paget, will gladly do his best to satisfy him.
	The arrest of our men and ships continues, and I can get no answer from Granvele, but daily am answered that I shall have it next day, "whereof I much wonder." The copy of the treaty sent herewith to the King I had of him (fn. n3) of whom I wrote in last letter that told me of Poole's legacy into France. Bruxelles, 26 Jan. Signed.

26 Jan.	94. Carne to the Council.
R. O	As commanded by their letters of the 12th inst. to Wotton and him, to signify the Emperor's proceedings touching the discharge of the arrest here, and as, since writing on the 19th by Simon, Wotton's servant, no answer can be had therein though daily Grandevyll is called upon, to whom the Emperor referred it, thinks well to advertise their "long and cold proceedings therein" lest other practices are meant. This day came to Court here eight mariners to complain of the King's subjects. On the 21st arrived a post from Spain with news that the Spaniards agree that the Emperor's daughter shall marry the duke of Orleans. "Here be two new cardinals, made of late, one is a Spaniard the other is the Bishop of Rome's nuncio that came hither last." Some say that the Emperor has already declared to the French king concerning the marriage of Orleans with the King of Romans' daughter. Frenchmen be much made of in this Court; and they say that Card. Medon and Mons. Lavall who were hostages, shortly depart hence into France. Bruxelles, 26 Jan. Signed.

26 Jan.	95.Vaughan to Paget.
R. O	Encloses a letter for the King. Here are lately come many hoys out of England with flesh powdered, butter, beer, tallow and cheese, which can ill be spared there. Unless the King has so licensed, it is worthy of extreme punishment. "Hither men convey apace their goods out of England; and we and all other the King's Majesty's subjects still under arrest, and our merchants sore hindered therewith. It were good to look to it; for they will be slow here as they have been ever." Andwerp, 26 Jan.
	"Jasper Dowche is come to town. I shall learn truly of him of what stomach they are towards us, by his granting to go into England or refusing to go."
	Hol., p.1. Add. (in French). Endd.:1544.
26 Jan.	96. Vaughan to Paget.
R.O.	After delivering to this bearer my other letter, with one to the King, I spoke with Jasper Dowche. For news of the Court, he told me that, on the return of the King's answer, he thought that all would be well; but he so botched and patched his tale that it rather disclosed to me that they meant not friendly to proceed in this matter of arrest. Besides, when I asked when he would be ready to depart into England, he answered that he had taken advice of S^or Score how to recover his herrings, and had told Score that he thought the best way was to do some acceptable service to the King, but Score had advised him rather to seek the recovery by exhibiting his account thereof to the Emperor, by way of complaint; and so he would not go to England till he saw this matter of arrest clear. The strangers have great substance in England. Balbany has said that he has 1,000 pieces of silks in England in the hands of Ant. Bonvyce and others. They will shift away their things if not looked to. John Carolo, when I made him lately three new bills, declaring that he had bound himself to the Welsars to prolong payment of such money as he was bound to pay in December last till the Cold Mart now present, and desiring him to return one of my old bills, said that all his old bills were in England. I told him that if he so handled me he was not of that honesty that I supposed, and so touched him that he said I should have my old bill; but "by these conjectures I perceive things be not well meant in these parts, for Jasper Dowche and John Carolo be men that have great intelligence in these parts." You may declare them to the King and his Council. Andwerp, 26 Jan.

27 Jan.	97. The Privy Council to Shrewsbury.
Shrewsb.MS., A., f. 253. Heralds' College. Lodge, I. 98.	The King has seen his sundry letters and the others sent with them, and likes his device for answer to those sent him from Newcastle, both for the hoys and their wafting to be at his Highness' charge. As to the question of the lord Warden of the Middle Marches about exchanging the lord of Mowe for George Carr, the King, in consideration of the good service done by the said George, is content. Baynerdes Castle, 27 Jan. 1544.
	P. S.— Send herewith a letter to the lord Warden of the Middle Marches showing "our proceedings with one Rede, an alderman of London, who repaireth down thither to serve in those parts." Praying you, at his passing, "to make him as strange countenance as the letter appointeth him strange service for a man of that sort." Signed by Wriothesley, Suffolk and Paget.

	98. The Privy Council to Sir Ralph Evers.
Shrewsb.MS., A., f.255. Heralds' College. Lodge, I. 99.	The King, having prosperously followed the war almost a whole year and being bound to continue therein, required a contribution by way of benevolence from his subjects, beginning with the Council and then proceeding to the citizens of London, all of whom proved well inclined save Richard Reed, an alderman, who could not be persuaded to conform thereto. As, for the defence of the realm and himself he would not disburse a little of his substance, the King thought that he should do some service with his body; and for that purpose sends him to "your school, as you shall perceive by such letters as he shall deliver unto you there t[o] serve as a soldier, and yet both he and his men at his own charge." In any enterprise against the enemies he is to ride and do as the other soldiers do in all things, that he may know what pains other poor soldiers abide, and feel the smart of his folly. Use him "after the sharp discipline militar of the Northern Wars."

Shrewsb. MS., A., f. 247. Heralds' College. Lodge, I. 97.	The King sends bearer, Sir Richard Lee, with Antonio de Bergoma and John Thomas Scala, Italians expert in fortifying, to view Tymmouth and set in hand works necessary for its strengthening.

R. O.	I would be very glad to hear from you and doubt not but you will call upon Mr. Chawnselour to remember my suit to the King. Assuredly I am unable to serve as I have served unless his Highness help me, and I am grieved to be constrained to require aid "in this time of his Grace's greatest charges of wars." As for this benevolence, we find the people as willing as we could desire, most of them saying that with all their hearts they will give it, and "if this be too little his Grace shall have more." If all the country throughout be so toward as this, the King had never such a sum of money. "It will surmount very much the Subsidy." Commend me to Mr. Heyneg and Mr. Deny and all the rest of my fellows of the Chamber. Heynyngham castle, 27 Jan. Signed.

27 Jan.	103. Carne to the Council.
R. O.	Yesterday, because Wotton and he could get no answer touching the discharge of the arrest, he moved the President to know the Lady Regent's answer therein, which she promised to give after speaking with the Emperor. Thought thus to bring Mons. Grandvylle the sooner to it. The President sent word "that this day the matter should be advised"; and something has been said, as Wotton's letters will show. This day Mons. Nigre, chancellor of the Order, came to Carne's lodging to declare that Jacop Jacopss., a burgess of Middelbroghe in Zelonde, had delivered a supplication to the Emperor, and thereupon the Council desired Game's answer. Jacop, being last year in England with wheat, was compelled, with his ship, to serve the King, was taken by the enemies, lost his ship and was driven to ransom himself; and now sues to have reasonable amends. Replied that the King did him no wrong to cause him to serve upon honest wages, and, as for his loss, Carne had heard nothing of it and could not tell whether princes ought to make amends in such cases, but would gladly refer to the King's Council therein. The Chancellor said that it should be long for the poor man to tarry. Replied that he "could no other do," and marvelled that such complaints were now increased, except it was thought that the English goods arrested here should be ready for all complainants. The Chancellor answered that the Emperor had too much regard to the amity, the arrest should be discharged here when discharged there. Encloses the copy of the said request with Jacob's bill of damages and testimonial; and begs to know how to answer, for the matter is somewhat regarded here, seeing that the Council sent the Chancellor about it.

27 Jan.	104. Charles V. to Chapuys and Vander Delft.
Spanish Calendar, VIII. No. 8.	The English ambassador has moved him, 1, to declare war against France now that the ten weeks' delay is expired, 2, to raise the embargo in accordance with the agreement, and, 3, to grant safe conduct for German and Italian troops coming to the King's service. Answered as follows : —
	1. Since Hertford and Winchester were here, Vander Delft and Chapuys were sent to settle the matter, but the English have kept it in suspense and therefore the declaration remains suspended. The Ambassador only replied that he would communicate this; and they should answer similarly therein.
	2. The Emperor would have the demand examined, but had been badly treated by the King and could not ignore the complaints of his people. The Ambassador said that the King had already decided to restore the vessels before Torquoin arrived in England; he let out, however, that he had written as soon as he knew of Torquoin's mission and could not disprove the fact that the King's release was in consequence of the embargo.
	3. The French must not be given cause for asserting that the Emperor broke the treaty of the peace made by express consent of the King of England; but the matter should be considered.
	The above mentioned agreement is here considered very prejudicial. Knows not whether they have actually signed it, as the copy they sent is only signed by the English, but Chapuys' letters to Arras seem to indicate that the agreement was executed. If so the Emperor intends to reply that although they had no instructions to conclude it and the date is omitted, yet he is content that the release shall be affected accordingly; since however he has no information that the embargo is raised in England as the agreement declares, he sees no reason for decreeing the release here, and so driving the Netherlanders to despair of redress in England; but if the English embargoed here will give security to satisfy the claims of his subjects in like case, the embargo shall be raised, Has ordered this reply to be sent to the English ambassador, with an intimation that Portuguese merchants complain of injuries in England to the extent of 100,000 fl., as in the claim sent herewith, which is to be pressed there. Knows by experience that if the English request to retain the herrings upon payment is conceded they will try to get them at less than cost price. The Ambassadors shall be vigilant to prevent this. Pitch and tar are not on the prohibited list. The request of the English that violence used at sea should not be met with reprisals may be answered thus, viz. : — That Netherlands merchants can easily be distinguished, and the King is so well obeyed that he can take measures rendering reprisals unnecessary. Touching the passport for Italians and Germans, has ordered reply to be made that the French are requesting like passports and other concessions prejudicial to the English, which he intends to refuse; and moreover his territories suffered intolerably last year from the passage of Germans for the king of England. Italians may be brought by sea from the Mediterranean and Germans from Hamburg and West Friesland. The King's use of his troops hitherto and his seizure of the Emperor's ships give the Emperor good reason to refuse passage to any strong body of his soldiers.

28 Jan.	107. Wotton to Henry VIII.
R. O. St. P., x. 262.	On Tuesday, 27th inst., was sent for by Granvele, with whom he found President Score. Repeated the effect of what he declared to the Emperor. Granvele answered that the Emperor and his Council had divers times consulted thereupon, and now commanded this answer to be made, viz., that the copy of the accord received by the Emperor was not signed by his ambassadors, nor authentic, nor had they power to make it, and (although the Emperor had too much regard to good neighbourhood to discuss that) it had not been observed in England, where the Emperor's subjects still remained under arrest, and therefore he had not revoked the arrest here, as he would have done had the like been done in England. If caution were given that they should be released and satisfied in England he would revoke the arrest here; but the satisfaction must be reasonable, for it was not meet to sell their herrings so that the owners lost two thirds, nor to compel them to sell their pitch and tar in England against their wills. Score added that there was plenty in this country if the King wished any. Wotton replied that he had no doubt that the accord was a common accord, and perhaps the ambassadors signed a copy delivered to Henry, but young Molenbais, or Turcoyn, who was sent into England for that matter, could tell; and, as for their authority, the Emperor wrote to them to take order therein, and surely their powers were very little if they might not act in such a case. Gave reasons (detailed) why the ships were stayed in England, saying he had not heard of those which (Score said) went, for salt, empty; and told them that, as for the release being first made in England, it ought not to be so, for the agreement was that no respect should be had thereto, and yet he had letters from Andwerpe that it had been done, and 36 hoys were already arrived in Zeland besides others that had come to Andwerpe; and as for the caution which they spoke of, he had no charge to speak in it. Upon this they said that they would send to Andwerpe, and, if it were found true, their arrest should be discharged. Asked whether it would be discharged incontinently in case the arrest was discharged in England. They said that their subjects ought to be satisfied reasonably for their victuals, alleging the case of Jaspar Duchy whose herrings were sold in England last year, and, though worth 9,000l. st., brought him not past 900l. st.; as for Wotton's question they would think upon it and answer in a day or two. It was not known that Mr. Vaughan was Henry's agent (if Wotton would deliver a bill of such it would be considered) and he was arrested as governor of the merchants. Replied that he was no governor, but sent to pay certain money due by Henry; and as for giving a bill he dare not do so without knowing Henry's pleasure. As to the point that, to avoid occasion of piques, the Emperor should declare himself and forbid intercourse, Granvele said that the Emperor "had by his ambassadors required to know how your Majesty took their proceedings here; whereupon as yet they had no answer," and therefore deferred answering. As for the safeconduct, Granvele said that the French ambassador had made like suit, and also for harness and munitions, and to have the Scots comprehended in the peace, and many other requests (showing a book of them, of two or three sheets of paper) and had just been denied them all; and the Emperor, being in peace and amity with both kings, should not grant to one what he denied to the other; adding that soldiers, when assembled, did great damage (as Landenberghe's men did last year, and put the country of Luyke in great hazard) and there was such hatred between Italians and Almains that Italians could not be brought without being either slain by the Germans or enticed into France, and, as for Germans, they would be conveyed better by sea, or else their captains could bring them severally, without safeconduct; there was a commandment that no Germans should serve any foreign prince, which upon grant of a safeconduct would be disregarded, and some would go to the French king and some to Henry, leaving the Emperor destitute of men for the wars against the Turk. And therefore the Emperor could not grant any such safeconduct. Wotton replied that the treaty with England was made before the pretended treaty with the French king and expressly declared that any future treaty should be void as far as prejudicial to it; and the treaty expresses that the Emperor should grant such a safeconduct when required, whereas in their league with the French king Wotton could not believe that there was any such article. The captains would take order to prevent damage (and in Landenberghe's case it was not Henry's fault) and Henry thought it expedient to use Italians; who might, with the Emperor's safeconduct, come safely through Germany, and could not be brought by sea, even if they were content to go, for Henry had not enough ships to transport his own men. And Wotton desired them to consider the amity and the league which the Emperor has ever professed that he will observe. Granvele replied that the Emperor was not bound to it except during the time of the common invasion; and Score said that the treaty was in two parts, first the general articles, and 2nd the articles concerning the common invasion, among which this was. Wotton told them that when the common invasion was meant it was so expressed, but this article was general. To this they obstinately refused to agree; and, finally, he could get no other answer from them than that they had declared the Emperor's mind.
	In times past they used to speak much of the treaty, but now they speak of the amity and nothing of the treaty, and elude the true meaning of any article Wotton alleges. Bruxelles, 28 Jan. 1544. Signed.

28 Jan.	108. Wotton to Paget.
R. O.	The considerations for the stay of the arrest here appear in his letter to the King; "and also why th'Emperor may not, id est will not, grant the safeconduct." Granvele and Score showed him pleasant countenance and were merry with him both before and after, asking questions of England, and whether, when at Wormes, he would go to Spires to see les dames of his acquaintance; but now "words and countenances do not move me half so much as sometimes they have done." The Venetian ambassador in France has written to the Venetian ambassador here that the French king is still sick and not likely to recover. Granvele says that we go shortly to Wormes; and the Emperor rides forth this day two miles to see how he can endure travel. Bruxelles, 28 Jan. 1544.

28 Jan.	109. Carne to Paget.
R. O.	Here they appear to be "relented," and now say that the arrest shall be discharged when the arrest there is discharged, or else the merchants here bound that it shall be discharged there. Thinks it dangerous for the merchants to enter such a bond, which will not be discharged until all doleances here are answered. Here is one that pretends that he was compelled to serve the King into Scotland and, coming from Lythe with wool taken there, was taken by the enemies, and so lost his ship and all that he had. Being desired by the Council here to answer him, Carne referred him to the King's Council; but he "said that he would in no wise come there to sue and therefore would needs have remedy here." Encloses "his supplication, the bill of his interest, and his certificate," and asks what answer to make upon the matter. Bruxelles, 28 Jan. Signed.

Poli Epp. IV. 41.	The Pope has given him hope, in answer to his petition by his proctor, that in somewise the offence may be removed which by the ambition of one man who calls himself an Englishman (fn. n5) would disturb the minds of all that nation. Is the more anxious for this because if that which had such a wicked and deceitful beginning should remain valid (ratum maneret) scarcely anything could more alienate or drive to despair the many who retain some devotion to the Holy See but dare not show it, if they see their Archbishoprics (especially that which is nearest Scotland) conferred at the pleasure of the Scots themselves. What offends him most in him who has sought the Abpric. is that he himself cannot but know (especially if he be an Englishman, though Pole's correspondents greatly doubt it) that he is more influenced by cupidity than by any desire to retain the English people in devotion to the Pope, to whom and to the Sacred College he has written many falsehoods. If he had trusted in the goodness of his cause he would not have used so many arts to escape the testimony of his citizens; which shows that he wants to rob the English of this Abpric.

R. O. St. p., x. 250.	Instructions to the earl of Hertford, Great Chamberlain (made upon information by Sir John Wallop, K. G., captain of the castle of Guisnes, that Guisnes is not kept duly fortified) to proceed to Guisnes and, upon consultation with Wallop, lord Graye, captain general of the crews there, and others of knowledge and experience, see all necessary fortifications indelayedly executed. Also, calling the said lord Graye and Wallop together, he shall, in friendly sort, examine the causes of the variance which has of late arisen between them and bring them to a perfect concord; and then, if the town is thought able to be kept against the enemies, and if Wallop will undertake the keeping of both castle and town, he is to have that charge and lord Graye to return to his charge at Hampnes, to be afterwards employed otherwise in the King's service; if, however, Wallop refuse to be bound for both castle and town, things are to remain as at present, and Wallop and Graye mutually to advise and help each other.
	Whereas the King at departing from his town of Boulloyn appointed Viscount Lisle, High Admiral, to be lieutenant of that town and castle and seneschal of Boullonoys; now that the enemy prepares to enter the seas with a main army "to invade our dominions and empeach our enterprise," the Admiral's presence is necessary here. Hertford shall therefore, from Guisnes, go to Boulloyn and, assembling the High Admiral and the rest of the Council there, shall declare the revocation of the Admiral and that the King knows that sundry of them are meet for that charge but has chosen Sir Thos. Poyninges, as most experienced in wars with the Frenchmen upon the frontiers and as speaking their language, to succeed to the office of lieutenant and captain-general of the castle, town and county of Boulloynoys, and has appointed him to be created baron, and commissioned Hertford to execute this. Having fortified Basseboulloyn and erected a fortress at th'Old Man, the King has chosen Thos. Wyat to be captain of Basseboulloyn and Thos. Palmer to be captain of the Old Man, each to be sworn of the Council there and have 26s. 8d. a day for his captainship. Hertford and Lisle and the rest of the Council shall then examine the accounts of the treasurer and comptroller and such as have had charge of the victual there, and take their declaration in writing what has been received of provision since the King's departure thence and what remains in store, and how much of every kind is requisite for the victualling of the men of war and workmen (of whom they shall also take musters and appoint to remain in the upper town, besides the horsemen, 2,000 men of war, in Basse Bullen 1,500, and 800 pioneers for the works of both towns, and at the Old Man 1,000 men of war and 1,200 pioneers). Order shall be taken for musters of all men of war and workmen at every payment. Hertford and Lisle shall also view the state of defence of the town and the artillery and munitions there. They shall then return home to the King.
