26 April.	678. The Privy Council.
Dasent's A.P.C., 393 .	Meeting at Greenwich, 26 April. Present: Chancellor, Privy Seal, Essex, Durham, Cheyney, Gage, Browne, Wingfield, Petre, Sadler, Baker, Wotton. Business:—Letters to Williams for 1,000l. to be paid upon the bp. of Winchester's letters for victuals; and for 45l. 16s. 8d. to be repaid to the commissioners for musters of Dorset as employed upon coats and conduct of 100 men, albeit their captain, named Husey, had "presumed to receive the money in a greater sum," for restitution whereof and for his punishment it was ordered that letters should be written to Hertford, lieutenant general of the camp. Letters to Lord Evre to certify who holds the plate, money and apparel left at Berwick by Sir George Douglas, and to cause John Swynburne, prisoner to a Scot, by entry or ransom to discharge George Lauson, Scot, upon whose bond he returned to England. To the earl of Westmoreland to send hither the laird Tulybarne and advertise what the said laird's demeanour has been. To Thomas Gowre, marshal of Berwick, to be ready to repair hither for trial of the matter between Lord Evre and him. One Stevens, now curate (fn. n1) of St. Katheryne Colman in London, heretofore in the Tower upon suspicion of robbery of Stoke church in Suffolk and discharged for lack of proof, was accused by one Cage, servant to the Duke of Norfolk, of erroneous teaching touching the Sacrament, but cleared himself and was returned to his cure upon surety to appear when called.
26 April.	679. Lord William Howard to the Council.
R. O.	Although at sundry times men have died in the Venecian, yet, not knowing it to be the pestilence, has not thought needful to report it. But, this morning, the 26th inst., two that were well at 7 a m. died by 10 a.m., and 14 fell sick; so that he is constrained to go into the Paunces, "and the master with all the whole company crieth out upon me to be avoided thence." Besides, every man cries out for wages. Begs to know the King's pleasure with haste. If the wind tarry at E. or N.E. he will be found here; if it turn to W., in the Narrow Seas, having seen all the hulks in the haven. They begin to die in other ships, "but I wot not whereof." Portchmoth, 26th of this present.

"The couart shalbe cepte here on Fryday next: my ounckell Bryand and Mr. Dovse welbe here at yet, even so wold I that you wayer, but in your absense I shal dessyre my brother Otwell to take paynes." This day my uncle Anthony Cave sent you the mare and filly that he promised. Horses stolen. Barth. Hose. My brother, sister and I are going to Mr. Brudenell's to dinner. Mistress Brud[en]ell sent for 20l. which she says she should have for fells. "I think he did not know of it."

26 April.	681. John Johnson to Mr. Smyth.
R. O.	Anno 1546, 26 April, at Callais:—Commendations to Mrs. Smyth. Wrote on Easter Eve for Smyth to take of Mr. Judde 200l. of the King's money, upon bill payable in the Pasche Mart at 25s. Fl. Will take 200l. more at the same reckoning, half payable at sight at Andwerpe and the other half in the Sinxon Mart next. Therefore, if he may be sped at 25s. Fl., desires Smyth to take the whole 400l. Has received here 13l. 6s. 8d. of Nicholas Sainct John, gentleman, and given a bill payable at sight, which he begs Smyth to pay either out of the King's money aforesaid or Mr. Cave's.

26 April.	682. Lisle to Henry VIII.
R. O.	By the Council's letter of the 24th inst. (fn. n2) perceives that the King would know "whether the new shalupe that came out with the brigantyne be able to brook the seas or not." On Tuesday was sevennight, (fn. n3) coming from Callayes the wind rose suddenly from the S.W. so strainably that Lisle, who was in the Sacre, the best sailer of the pinnaces, had enough ado to fetch the Downes and avoid being cast upon Goodwyn. Expected the new shalupe to be swallowed "in the least of a great number of seas that came over her," but she went through all and was at anchor in the Downes as soon as they. The weather was so vehement that at Callayes they reckoned us perished. "Of this I did advertise Sir Thomas Cardeyn (God comfort him), not knowing then of his misfortune," that he might signify it to your Majesty, and did also advertise Mr. Secretary Paget. Learns, too, from the Council that, as the enemies have no great power at sea, the King thinks that seven or eight of his greatest ships may return home, and so be safe from tempests and yet ready when required. Would (if he durst) have signified no less ere this time; and now awaits the King's pleasure which of them shall return, and which remain.
	Has been here with my lord of Hertford since Maundy Thursday. (fn. n4) This day the Admiral of France is looked for at Monstreull and tomorrow or Wednesday at Arder. Is sorry that our men at Boulloyn were too ready at the enemy's call, as Hertford will advertise. It was hardly to be thought that a man of Mr. Ellerker's experience would have taken such a bait. The Frenchmen in the night gave alarm to the High town and in the morning showed themselves upon the hill at Saint Estevyns, where the Albenoys went over and skirmished with them. Finally Mr. Ellerker with the men at arms and light horsemen passed the water which Hertford and Lisle had sent them word not to pass (being advertised of Mons. du Buys' coming to Monstreull with a great band of horsemen and footmen), for it was easy to know that this was "a train to 'tice our horsemen to their ambush or stale." Knows not whether the message was given. The Frenchmen (reported as but 200 horsemen), after putting home our Albenoys and seeing the Northern horsemen make towards them, retired to their wagons, took out the mares and draught horses and seemed to abandon their victuals; whereof our light horsemen, without "further discovering," brought back notice, and Ellerker forthwith gave chase and was trained into such a company that when they would have retired it was too late. "The Albenoys left the fist and strake with the heel, which Sir Ralph Ellerker's heart would not serve him to do, and so was lost, with Shelley, Granadoe and one or two of the men of arms, and divers sore hurt." By the great assemblies of horsemen and footmen daily coming to Monstreull it should be seen that the French king will treat sword in hand as your Highness does, or else means to be doing betimes if things prove not to his pleasure. No trust should be given to his courtesy, if advantage might be had of any of your pieces. Newhaven in Boulloignois, 26 April 1546.
	P.S. in his own hand.—"[M]onluke hath eftsoons made another request to speak with me and Mr. Secretary togethers, which is yet deferred again upon excuse of business that I have here with your Majesty's lieutenant. [I] do think we shall meet togethers upon Thursday, [f] or the Admiral will be tomorrow or Wensdaye at Arder." Signed.

26 April.	683. William lord Grey to Hertford.
R. O.	Yesterday, being Easter Day, towards night, the Cavalere asked leave to go forth and lie for certain victuals which he knew were coming to the fort. Granted it; and, about 1 or 2 a.m., 100 or 150 horsemen came to the Base town and hurt one or two of our scouts. The alarm was given and we saw them gallop up by the sands' side; whereupon the Cavalere and his band issued out and chased them to Pountie bridge and there remained. When it was day, they put forth scouts to the top of the hill at Sainctie Tyens, who descried two bands of horsemen, and sent to the writer to put forth Salerne or some other to Pountie bridge to rescue them if necessary. Did so, and prepared all the horsemen, both men at arms and others, under the Marshal; and himself rode forth to behold their doings. Met Cavalere, who declared that he was hurt in skirmishing with the Frenchmen, had taken two or three of them, and desired leave to rest his horses for an hour or two. Afterwards overtook the Marshal on this side Pountie bridge, where the Italians held the passage. Tarried there while Sir Ralph Ellerker put forth some light horsemen; who won the hill, and thereupon the Frenchmen retired with 140 or 160 carriages of victuals. Seeing this, the Marshal sent for more footmen to come to Sainctie Tyens; but ere the writer could bring them thither all Frenchmen save scouts were beyond Hardillo. Was then about to retire when Sir Ralph Ellerkar asked for 500 footmen to back him at the end of the sands towards New Shatewe, and the writer gave him Salem and his whole band. When they were gone, heard carriages passing through Hardillo woods, and put forth 400 footmen and the 20 light horsemen who remained. These distressed divers of the carriages, slew some men and "knocked out the heads of their vessels." Thought all had been well with Sir Ralph Ellerkar until three or four men at arms came into Sainctie Tyens with pieces of staves thrust through their arms and hands, who declared that the Marshal, after distressing the rest of the victuals, attacked the enemy's band of 250 horsemen beyond New Shatew: but, when Shelley and the men at arms had right hardily broken the troop of the enemies, the Albanois who should have followed ran away. And so, certain of the gentlemen named in a schedule herewith were taken prisoners and the rest put to flight. Bolloyn, Monday night, 1546. Signed.

27 April.	684. The Privy Council.
Dasent's A. P. C., 394.	Meeting at Greenwich, 27 April. Present: Chancellor, Privy Seal, [Essex, Durham, Cheyney, Gage, Browne, Wingfield, Petre, Sadler, Baker, Wotton]. Business:—Letter to Lord William Hawarde (upon his letters of the 25th inst. signifying his stay of the second fleet of hulks and request for a skilful person to view them) that officers of the Admiralty should be sent to Portsmouth forthwith. Placard for Dr. Wotton to take up 10 post horses to Dover and a vessel for his transportation. Obligations signed and sealed by the Chancellor and others of the Council to Ant. Bonvixy and other strangers, for money emprunted to the King, brought in and cancelled, but ordered to be preserved in the Studye at Westminster. Safeconduct for the ship Saint Mighell, master John de Ganda (Gauda?) in Holland, to be laden by Guido Cavalcanti, Florentine, with French wares at Roan by the hands of Francis Claysson, Dutchman, for London or Antwerp. A lewd fellow out of Sussex who exhibited to the King certain books of misorders in that country, committed to the Porter's Lodge. The laird Bromston had warrant to the Exchequer for 275l., which with 40l. received of Lord Evre, should pay 100 horsemen in Scotland for three months; and also had 40l. in reward. Letters to Lord Evre to signify what sum he delivered to Bromston and return the warrant for 1,000 cr. so that a new warrant for the sum paid might be sent. Mr. Man, who wrote for instructions as to the passing of Mr. Knevet's horses and others of Lightmaker's, going to the Camp, had answer to keep account thereof apart from the victuals.
27 April.	685. Henry VIII. to Hertford, Lisle, Paget and Wotton.
R. O. St. P., xi. 114.	Understanding by Paget's letters of the 25th their conference with Mon[luke], thinks good to signify as follows:—
.	Where Monluke with a long rehearsal of old friendship, expediency of peace, devastation of war, etc., concludes that his master desires peace "so as the same might be had honorably, and his realm not excorsed and fleen to the bones," the French commissioners are to be reminded that, albeit the rupture of the old amity proceeded from them, the King has been ever ready to have all things honourably compounded, but hitherto their commissioners have been too much wedded to their own wills, and therefore it is necessary to tell them plainly that they have to do with a prince who will not with froward dealing be drawn to their appetites, and who knows how their master stands touching his subjects, men of war, penury of victuals, decay of navy, etc., that we can always safely revictual our pieces on that side while the French navy dare not continue upon the seas for want of ports, and that we "know their doings in Almayn, Italy and everywhere." Yet, for God's sake and Christendom, and for the old good will to their master, the King would be glad of peace if they will make round offers and consider that he must have no less respect to his honour than their master has to his. Here may be touched again the unreasonableness of their request to have Bulloyn when they have not used to leave pieces won by them, as Hesding and Piemont, and in the first wars concluded peace without recovering Turnay. The matters of your instructions, especially the first, are such as if they mean bona fide they ought to condescend to; yet if you see that frankness which Monluke pretends, who says that beside payment of our pension they will leave us part of Bullonoys as surety for their payment of arrearages, charges and expenses, you shall get them to declare what parts of Bullonoys they mean, and then essay whether you can get all "from the water a thisside Estaples," and failing that (their new fort being razed and left to us as a fisher town) all on this side Hardelow, or at least from the river that comes by Porthyll,—limits to be settled upon view of the ground. As Paget perceives by Monluke that they will not come to the sum claimed for costs and expenses, 1,000,000 cr. may be abated, provided that the whole county of Guisnes remain to the King and his heirs. This will take away all occasion of "bogges and variaunces," and, as the French king has almost no profit from it, there is no cause why he should not assent. In "beating into their heads" what advantages we have over them, more than they know, and how necessary peace is for them, you must "beat out" to what points they will finally grant.

27 April.	686. Hertford to Henry VIII.
R. O.	Being instructed to send the platt of "a bulwark newly to be made upon a hill near this fort" and of the whole fortifications and haven here, together with his opinion of the King's devices at Bulloigne, sends them by bearer, John Rogers, surveyor of Bulloigne, who can declare them, and who has served very diligently. Begs that he may be returned with speed and know that Hertford has commended him. In France peace is expected shortly; and Mr. Wallop's trumpet being lately at Turwayne, the captain there, Mons. de Villebonne said to him "Trompet, nous serons bien tost, si Dieu plaist, boen freres et amis en semble." Has heard, nevertheless, that the French mean to assail this camp, and trusts to give them such a welcome that they shall wish themselves in Paris. At Mounstrell they begin to assemble a mass of men; and the King's subject, Pollerd, who is in good estimation there, reports that 500 footmen are already come, and more Gascons, Normans and Parisians are looked for daily, and also, within three days, 500 horsemen, Clevoyes or Almaynes, and that 25 or 26 boats laden with hay have arrived at Estaples. Harrington, my brother's servant, yesternight brought your Majesty's letters and a platt (fn. n5) of fortifications to be further made here. Perceives that Mr. Lee will be sent hither shortly, but sends Rogers as before determined. Camp at your Highness' New haven in Bullonoyes, 27 April 1546.
	P.S.—Has just received the enclosed letters from Lord Graye. Had it not been for the taking of our gentlemen the journey had been honest. Signed.

27 April.	687. Hertford to the Council.
R. O.	Here is such lack of money that there is not enough to pay the strangers, so that all Englishmen, pioneers and officers, "being utterly unfurnished, are like to have no penny," as appears by the treasurer's brief (herewith) of pays and receipts. Begs them to order a speedy supply; for the King's provisions here are "nothing to the purpose" and they must buy of victuallers who come at their own adventure. Camp at Newhaven in Bullonoyes, 27 April 1546. Signed.
	P. 1. Add. Endd.: "with a scedule inclosed conteyning an estimate of money."

And so is lacking 7,652l. 15s. 0¼d.

27 April.	688. Madame de la Touche to [Mary of Guise].
Balcarres MS., iv. 14. Adv. Lib. Edin.	Writes what she has done since coming into this country. Found your mother, son and brothers in this town. The Court arrived immediately after and kept Shrove Tuesday (caresme prenant). The Queen and Dauphiness staid a long time. Madame went to the Louvre and did not remove so long as the Court was there. I was there every day from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. The Court is as strange as could be in habiliments and façon de faire. I have not spoken to the King because your father told me he had had letters from Mons. de Vassay who is lieutenant for this King at Ardres, and one from my husband, who begged him "de le pleger" towards the Sieur de Vassay, and that millort Soret (Surrey) to whom he was a prisoner at present kept him at Guynes and would take for pledge the Sieur de Vassay if Monsieur agreed to it. Monsieur did so, and he thought he would be here immediately; "qui me gardera den faire autre chose cependant que ce Roy fut icy." I waited till the first week of Lent, and as there was no further news I asked Monsieur to give me one more letter addressed to Mons. de Vassay like the first; which he did, and begged Mons. de Vassay to pledge him, and send him to him "sur sa foy, et quyl respuuoit (?) de sa ransson ou daultre prisonnier quel quil demanderet et luy envoier in continent." I sent thither a man express—Jacques Chou (?) "que aviez arnne (?) a Monsieur vostre filz." Madame asked the Admiral for a letter addressed to Mons. de Villebon at Terovenne, "pour donner escrosse (sic) a Jacques pour entrer dedans Ardres par force pour porter les lettres de Monsieur, car lon ny puit entrer aultrement." Does not know if he is dead or taken. Monsieur has written twice again by the post of Mons. de Thez to know if the man he had sent to Ardres had got in, but has got no news. I am therefore at the beginning of all my business. Monsieur and Madame have gone to La Faire for Easter, and will be here on Wednesday after Easter for your son's process, of which a good result is expected. Madame cannot remain much longer here, as she has to be at the baptism of the Dauphin's daughter. Cannot at present name her otherwise.
	Will be here long in great pain. Desires her, therefore, to keep mindful of her husband and herself, her very obedient servants. As to the marriage of La Touche, Mons. Dechilac and his son did not leave this town until Holy Week, awaiting news of the writer's husband; and when she could learn nothing more, "jay accorde avecque eulx de ce que je leur veulx donner; de quoy ilz se sont tou (?) comptes" and ought to be back here 15 days after Easter. If Madame is still here I will ask her humbly for your honour to be affianced in her presence; for if I have no other news I will complete what I have begun, hoping that she and I may always be reckoned your most obedient servants; which is what I most desire in this world, and there is nothing I more regret than that I could do you no service when in your company. Paris, 27 April 1546. Signed.

	*** The signature is a little perplexing, but from the endorsement of this and a later letter (No. 705) there is no doubt about the writer. The character of the signature is bold and clear, and looks like one name only, not Christian and surname. It seems to read "Anautigny" or "Avantigny."
28 April.	689. The Privy Council.
Dasent's A.P.C., 396.	Meeting at Greenwich, 28 April. Present: Chancellor, Privy Seal, Essex, Durham, Cheyney, Gage, Browne, Wingfeld, Petre, Sadler, Baker. Business:—Accusations presented by Walter Cowley against Sir Anthony St. Leiger, deputy of Ireland, with his answers, were debated in presence of the Earl of Ormonde; and as Cowley "could avouch nothing but upon the mouth of others" and was fully answered by the Deputy, he was committed to the Tower, and Ormond bound in recognisance (given) to attend upon the Council to answer the accusations of the said Deputy. Letters to Lord William Hawarde that the King had sent two officers of the Admiralty with instructions touching the hulks stayed at Portsmouth; also that if the death in the Venetian ship was so great her men should be discharged, leaving only sufficient to bring her into Thames.
28 April.	690. Paget to Henry VIII.
R. O.	This evening Mons. Monluc sent a letter to my lord Admiral or, in his absence, to me. The letter signified that the Admiral of France had arrived at Monstreul and written to him to send "that bearer" hither, adding that the sooner the bearer was despatched the sooner the Admiral should be at Ardre. His credence was that the Admiral desired safe-conduct to Ardre like that granted last year to the bp. of Soissons and President Remon, another safeconduct for three or four vivandiers to resort from Ardre to St. Omers for "poultry and such like acates," another safeconduct for four or five posts to lie at Devern, for speedy passage to Monstreul in case there should be occasion to send to Court, and a licence for three or four tuns of wine to be brought out of France. Caused the messenger to put that in writing; and, telling him that it waxed too late for his return to Ardre tonight, sent a letter to the camp to Hertford and the Admiral as in the copy enclosed. Calays, 28 April 1546. Signed.
	P. 1. Add. Endd.
	ii. "Copie of my l're to my lord of Hertf' and my lord Admyral."
	Sends letter from Mons. Monluc to Lisle or, in his absence, Paget. The credence of the gentleman who brought it is contained in the schedule enclosed. Told him that Lisle would be here tomorrow at dinner (and thinks it not amiss if he so be) but he would needs have his despatch in the morning, as the Admiral of France was tarrying for the answer. Will if they like make, sign and seal a safeconduct and send it to them to seal and sign and forward to Monstrell by Rechemound and a trumpet, with commission to insert the number of the Admiral's train and show the Admiral that his other desires shall be satisfied. Callys, 28 April, at night.

28 April.	691. Paget to Petre.
R. O. St. P., xi. 117.	Sends a short letter to the King, thinking shortly to send a longer and containing better matter. Yet we had not had the worst if Sir Ralph Ellerker had not been slain. Being forced for horsemen to use strangers who every time leave us in the dirt, sometime the Almayns and sometime the Albanoys, may God direct things so that for this time we may leave to need them and against next time have a force of our own; which would be right well if the King would give like wages to his own men as to strangers. A horseman with 9d. a day if his horse is killed cannot buy another, and seeing a stranger get 3l. a month and he but 20s. "his heart is killed." The present remedy however is peace, "which we will bring from hence if you send it first from thence. "Nemo ascendit ad celos nisi qui descendit de celis." With a peace we shall be abler hereafter for war and the enemy will not thereby wax stronger and richer, as we shall, for he will straight match himself with a fresh enemy. Cales, 28 April, late at night, 1546.

28 April.	692. William lord Grey to Hertford.
R. O	This day I sent forth all our horsemen with certain footmen to Newe Shatewe, where the encounter was yesterday, and, as the trumpet said, they found Mr. Marshal and two light horsemen by him, "having their hearts all three cut out of their bellies"; whom, with one Grene, a gentleman that served under the Albanois, they brought away. The others of our men are alive at Mounstrell, and ten or twelve Frenchmen slain at the same time remain in the sands. "At this meeting was the Ringrave stricken in at the mouth and out at the neck with a lance, and Monsieur de Tays thrust through the neck with a sword," besides many others hurt. Bolloyn, 28 April.

28 April.	693. Hertford and Lisle to Henry VIII.
R. O.	Yesterday, examined certain mariners lately taken upon the sea by a shallop of Hertford's. Their depositions agree that at a spring tide more than four fathom of water flows as high as the quay of the town of Estaples, and at neap tides (at full sea) 3½ fathoms, and that there is never less than four fathom upon the bar at full sea, also that the channel is "almost an arrow shot over." The haven is subject to all winds blowing strainably at N.W. and W.N.W., but that might be remedied by a mole or pier. At full sea there is half a fathom more water at Estaples than at Dieppe. If these sayings are true there is no haven like it on this side the mouth of Seane; and, seeing how it dominates all Bullonoyes, so that without it the enemy could neither victual Ardres, Hardelowe, nor the new fort, nor any garrisons on this side Monstrell, nor keep an army in the field without aid of the Emperor's countries, the writers wish that it were the King's. If the present treaty take no effect, their opinion is that, with a "renforce" of 3,000 footmen and 500 horsemen, Estaples should be attempted "immediately upon the breach of the conclusion." Garrisons from other places might be planted there and the King be at less charge than he now is. Write this, not to hinder an honorable peace, which seems the thing most necessary for Christendom, but that the King may be more ready, in case the Frenchmen "will serve their purpose as they are wont," to annoy them, and thereby the sooner have peace. Camp at Newhaven in Bullonoyes, 28 April 1546. Signed.

28 April.	694. Hertford to Petre.

Barth. Fortuny had letters to Sir Hugh Pollard, Mr. Stukeley and John Stowell, viceadmiral of Devonshire, for recovery of wares spoiled out of a hulk coming from Lusheborne with goods of John Carlo de le Affiati and Lewes Perez, of Antwerp, and sold to John Holland and others, the wares to be delivered to Jo. Bapt. de St. Victor; and Fortuny had also safeconduct for two ships, masters Steven Stevenart and Ambrose Thesiara. Robert Leg had warrant to the Exchequer for 4,000l. for sea affairs.
29 April.	699. The Privy Council to Carne.
R. O. S. P., xi. 118.	For execution of the agreements taken at Utrek touching merchants' matters Skypperus, the Emperor's ambassador, and another appointed for that purpose, have seen the records of the Exchequer and of London, and confessed themselves satisfied with the proofs of all that is of any importance in their common griefs; and they are granted copies of the said records. The King will have like search made there, and sends bearer, his servant and councillor, Mr. Doctor Rede, to join in commission with Carne for that purpose with letters of credence to the Regent. To her they shall declare that the late coming of this man is because another of the King's Council hereto appointed fell sick by the way; and so beg to see the muniments and records necessary to prove the rights now exacted. They shall obtain a book of customs and imposts rightly due in any towns and ports there, consider the proofs of them and take authentic copies of the records; and proceed so that all just exactions may certainly appear and the other newly raised be abolished, according to the treaties, and that our men may be heard and recompensed. The Emperor's commissioners have begun with the common griefs which they "purposed" at the Diet of Burbarough and are satisfied in almost every article by matters of record. As Carne was one of the commissioners he must instruct Mr. Read thereof.
	On a separate slip, in another hand.—John Newkyrke, has provided 50,000 of saltpetre for the store within the Tower of London for which you shall, if necessary, require licence.

29 April.	700. Van der Delft to Charles V.
Spanish Calendar, viii., No. 254.	Being at Court yesterday, was summoned by the King and asked if he had any letter from the Emperor since D'Eick left. Replied that he had had nothing but a letter from the Queen, intimating that Penninck had been with her and she had so arranged for the passage of his troops that they would do better service than Landenberger's or Riffenberg's men; he (the King) might depend on the Emperor to do everything for him that could honestly be done. This was taken in good part, and, after some vague grumbling about past events, the King said that Monluc, whom the king of France sent to the Turk with the Emperor's ambassador, had now gone to Calais and expressed to Paget his King's desire for peace, regretting that the Lord Admiral was not present. Paget had replied that his master was no less desirous of the tranquility of Christendom, and when the Admiral of France came the Lord Admiral of England would not fail to meet him. Monluc assured him that the Admiral would come, who was now expected at Calais. The King added that, nevertheless, he did not slacken his efforts.
	The Council said that seven or eight days ago their men burned a small town in Scotland, capturing, or killing 400 men, with loss of only three wounded; and had brought back a great booty of cattle. The King had now 10,000 combatants at sea.
	During the last three days 18 new pinnaces, built like foists, with 15 or 16 oars a side, and well equipped, have sailed hence. The English say that their fort (fn. n6) near Boulogne is sufficiently advanced for defence. A courier has been despatched to Mason who accompanied Duke Philip. Is credibly informed that the despatch is to stop Mason's mission; which is probable, as the courier went as soon as it was decided to negociate with the French. London, 29 April 1546.
29 April.	701. Van der Delft to Mary of Hungary.
Spanish Calendar, viii., No. 255.	Received her letter of the 17th and was yesterday at Greenwich where the King is passing Eastertide. Saluted the Queen at her coming from mass, who was very gracious and seemed pleased. Afterwards represented to the Council the plundering of the Emperor's subjects. They replied that measures were taken to prevent further depredations. The writer then presented the statement of particulars of property recently plundered; which was already known, as the merchants made the complaint in presence of the English ambassador. The Council expressed disapproval of pillage, but said that the merchants were not altogether blameless of sheltering French property under their names and supplying provisions and prohibited goods to the French. In truth some of the complaints are open to objection, as also are the contentions of the sailors with regard to customs dues and bad treatment; and D'Eick thought so too. The only claimants remaining unpaid are those who have lost ships in the King's service; and the writer was told yesterday that the promises made to them should be fulfilled, but they must have patience. Incidentally the writer spoke of the apathy and indifference to advice shown by the King's ministers in Flanders; and the Councillors seemed to approve his reasoning. After dining with the Council, was summoned to the King, and repeated to him her desire to maintain the alliance and to do, as hitherto, everything possible to please him. Further conversation is reported in the letter to the Emperor (copy enclosed). London, 29 April 1546.

Will then ask Monsieur to request the King's help to pay his ransom of 400 cr. His expenses besides may amount to 200 cr. and would compel him to sell most of his estate. But for this and an illness he has had since he was a prisoner, would have gone to her with the ambassador. Has found his wife at Paris, who will solicit his deliverance, but she cannot furnish 10 cr. of all our wages.

R. O.	The King yesternight, upon occasion of advices sent from my lord Admiral and you, willed us to signify that the 3,000 footmen and 500 horsemen should be prepared with diligence, to be employed upon Estaples if the communication of the peace grow to no good conclusion. As your letters which arrived to-day by Roger[s] report great assemblies of men daily at Monstrell, his Highness requires your opinion whether this may hinder your determination upon Estaples; thinking that at your first coming thither you might much more easily have done it, when the enemy's forces were not gathered and the fortifications were not so strong. Order shall be taken for money, whereof you shall be advertised before the end of next week. We are commanded to advertise my lord Admiral that four of the "shalloppes" last sent are to remain with you at the Nue Haven in Bullonoyze to intercept victuallers coming to Estaples and serve as you think convenient.
	ii. The Same to Lisle.
	Upon your letters of the — (blank) the King has willed us to signify that on Tuesday last 13 of his new boats departed hence towards the seas, whereof, or of such other "shallopes" as you think meet, four are to attend at the Nue Haven to intercept victuallers coming to Estaples and serve as my lord Lieutenant shall think requisite.

(fn. n8) He desires your opinion, my lord Admiral, how many may be had from the seas, which may be the more as he means to send "raynforses" to the seas. And yet he minds not so much this enterprise but that he can be content to have an honorable peace.

30 April.	708. Vander Delft to Mary of Hungary.
Spanish Calendar, viii., No. 256.	This courier was ready to leave when the Council sent a secretary with the enclosed note, saying that the ships in question were detained by the Vice-Admiral with the purpose of making use of those fit for the King's service and preventing the enemy's using them, and the passage of such ships of 150 or 200 tons burden was against the agreement. Replied that he knew of no such agreement and would like to be informed of the clause containing it; but the secretary said that he had no instructions thereupon. Detained the courier and sent this morning to Secretary Petre, who replied that the agreement was not in writing, but Paget when last in Brussels told the Emperor of the French intention to use Flemish ships: and the Emperor agreed not to allow any to sail of greater tonnage than 120 to 150 tons. Begs instructions. London, 30 April 1546.

30 April.	710. Lisle, Paget and Wotton to Henry VIII.
R. O. St. P. xi. 120. .	This morning arrived Signor Francisco Bernardo with message from the Admiral of France that, as they had hinted at a revictualling of Ardre under colour of his coming thither, he thought it best (bringing men of reputation whom his master had appointed to wait upon him, as the President of Rowen, the Secretary Bochetel, Messieurs Monluc and Spifau and others, of estimation though not of Council, for whose furniture at Ardre he must bring nine or ten carriages besides his mulets) not to come to Ardre. If they trusted to his honour not thereby to revictual Ardre he would come; otherwise he thought it better to come to Saumer au Boys and they to Boulloyn and meet on the frontier ground; but he thought it necessary to have an abstinence by land for the seven or eight days, within which he desired the cause of meeting to be determined. Considering that Saumer au Boys is the King's and there is no frontier between it and Boulloyn, it seemed best to stand to the Admiral's coming to Ardre. His coming with such a company to the King's commissioners seems more to the King's honour, and demonstrates a desire for this practicque. Replied as to the abstinence, forecluding or not forecluding victualling, they would write to the King. It is to be considered whether an abstinence "forclosing" victuals were expedient for the King, who has at least 20,000 men of war to feed. Expect Monluc anon. If he come not before the passage, will report his doings by the next. Probably he comes to commune of the day and place of meeting; for he was told plainly of late that the Admiral, coming to treat with the Admiral of France, would not treat with any other person.
	Had written thus far when Monluc arrived, his errand being to propose again an abstinence of nine or ten days, and, as the Admiral's train cannot pass in a day, to have such a safeconduct that our men of war shall not meddle when they are passing, and likewise French men of war shall be commanded not to come near any of the King's places. Have written to Hertford to give order for the French Admiral's satisfaction therein; and expect to have him at Ardre tomorrow or on Sunday and to meet on Monday, "at the place we met last with the other commissioners."

Thus our purpose of meeting is broken until either we have more ample commission or know the King's pleasure touching the abstinence. Calais, 30 April 1546. Signed.

30 April.	712. Paget to Petre.
R O.	Thanks for your gentle letters. Our common letter to the King shows "how far forth, or rather how little forward, we are yet in our business." If we great personages had not greater regard to our private reputations than to the matter in hand the French admiral and we had met ere this. But, while he makes courtesy to come to this and that place and only under safeconduct of the Commissioners (his master having also a lieutenant-general who meddles not in this matter, nor could, as he says, conveniently descend so low as to be a commissioner in a special matter), and we reason whether a safeconduct should be by virtue of lieutenancy or commission, the time passes. When you answer us, "play the logician and do it aperte, distincte and ad amussim." Calais, 30 April, going to dinner.

30 April.	713. Richard Hilles to Henry Bullinger.
Original Letters, i.252. (Parker Soc.)	Has today received his letter of the 1st inst. from Bullinger's friend Lewis, who kept it for Hilles till his return from Antwerp. Cannot acquit himself either of ingratitude or indolence in not having replied to Bullinger's letter of 6 Feb.; for though he said it required no answer it was so full of valuable admonitions to one engaged in so dangerous a calling (if, indeed, trade can be so called as the world now conducts it) that he ought to have expressed his thanks, but has been overwhelmed with worldly business. Begs his prayers that he be not pierced with the thorns of riches. Thinks daily and nightly of heavenly things and the shortness of life.
	Refers him to the bearer for information about England. It is not probable that the gospel will be received there pure while those are alive who now hold the reins. For the King and almost all the bps. are altogether intent upon war. They desire to retain the goodwill of the Emperor by every means in their power, despise the simplicity of the Protestants, and only court their friendship (provided they be not compelled to admit their religion) to have them partakers in the wars, and in the hatred with which the French regard them. They would shun their alliance on account of their confession. Moreover the bp. of Winchester has very lately republished a book against Bucer full of bitterness and invective, and expressing great contempt for his and Bullinger's learning. Nothing else than what Bullinger writes is to be expected from those uncleau birds now assembled at Trent.
	Has not yet advanced money for Lewis, but will obey Bullinger's wishes or those of his father. Master Hoper is now in England, but will shortly return to us, and afterwards to you. Let us pray God to bring him back with success; for his only object is to procure some money on which he can live here or with Bullinger, far from the impurity of Babylon. My wife sends yours a present by Master Froschover. We both thank you as much for the cheese as if you had really sent it. Salutations to Bibliander, Pellican, Gualter &c. Sorry to hear from Froschover that Master Erasmus (fn. n9) is dead. Strasburg, 30 April 1546.
30 April.	714. Ludovico da l'Armi to the Cardinal of Mantua.
Venetian Calendar, v., No. 384.	Since, from personal considerations, the Cardinal does not wish him to come to Mantua, will merely say that, knowing his King's regard for the Gonzaga family, he sends the King's letters of credence and a paper containing part of his commissions by his gentleman, the Marquis Christiano Dressino, of Vicenza. One of his chief commissions was to visit the Duke, and remind him of the long goodwill which subsisted between the King and his predecessor, and offer favour and assistance. The King is in power not inferior to any King in Christendom, in wealth much greater than many other princes and in dignity of presence he may vie with any. Moreover the perfect brotherhood between him and the Emperor binds the duke of Savoy to his service, through whom he will be able to profit his friends and injure his enemies. Desires therefore a letter from the Cardinal such as will enable him to retain the King's goodwill for the duke of Mantua, who may thus avail himself of the abundant resources and inestimable treasure of England. Venice, 30 April 1546.
30 April.	715. Juan de Vega to Charles V.
Spanish Calendar, viii., No. 253.	Cardinal Farnese has shown him a letter from the Nuncio in France, dated the 10th inst., giving particulars of the peace negociations with England. Both in France and here it is thought that, if the matter is brought down to a question of money, and the French offer a round sum in addition to the overdue pensions, with some arrangement for France to arbitrate in the matter of Scotland, peace may be considered assured. With this hope and the belief that the Protestants will not attend the Diet, where consequently nothing important will be done, the Pope feels easier. Rome, 30 April 1546.
