26 Dec. Béthune MS. 8539, f. 28. Paris.	5064. MARY THE FRENCH QUEEN to MONTMORENCY.
	Writes again in behalf of Anthoine du Val. Montmorency gave a favorable answer to her former request, and charged Catillon to keep him in mind of it; but this he has been unable to do, having had business which took him to Italy. London, 26 Dec. 1528. Countersigned: De Saint Martin.
26 Dec. R. O.	5065. JOHN TAYLER, MASTER OF THE ROLLS, to BRIAN TUKE.
	Received a letter on the 25th from my Lord by Thadeus, who left Knight and Benet at Calais. Was ordered in the letter to procure from the French king a safe-conduct for a servant of the Queen that should go into Spain, or for any other that the Emperor should send to England. Though I had neither the names nor the number, I went to the King on Christmas Day, who happened to be at Paris, and obtained a blank safe-conduct. Sends letters from Spain. Paris, 26 Dec. 1528. Signed.

27 Dec. Vesp. C. IV. 286. B. M.	5067. GHINUCCI to WOLSEY.
	Wrote last on 23 Nov. Wonders that the Emperor delays so long to give them their answer. The French say that he promised to do so immediately after Bayard's arrival. Delivered the proposals to him a fortnight ago. The Emperor's ministers say that the answer will show his desire for peace, and that he is not the obstacle. Has heard no fresh news about military preparations. The Emperor will raise a loan from churches and from ecclesiastical persons. He has received from this bishopric 500 English marks, and requires a mark of silver from all patrons of churches. Burgos, 27 Dec. 1528.

27 Dec. R. O.	5069. THOS. CANNAR, Priest, to CROMWELL.
	Did not send back John Hunt, Cromwell's scholar, as Cromwell wished, as Mr. Dean pretended that he should have the room of a petty canon in my lord's Grace's college. Smith, the auditor, and Cannar, therefore, detained him; but now, as the election for petty canons is over, and Benjamin Digby has written to Mr. Dean about it, sends him up with the bill of his expences at Oxford. Thanks him for having procured for him the benefice of Eesthenrethe by his influence with my lord's Grace. Oxenforde, 27 Dec.
	The total of Hunt's expences are 39s. 0½d., including the reward to Master Weston, his overseer and tutor.
	P. 1. Add.: To the right worshipful Mr. Cromwell, dwelling against the Friar Austins in London.
27 Dec. R. O.	5070. MAGNUS to BRIAN TUKE.
	Had been here 10 weeks to conclude the peace, which has not been brought to pass but with much business, all because "we lene (lean?) so directly as we do, in mine opinion, for want of knowledge and intelligence, with the earl of Angus' causes," the Scots believing that we favor him more than their King. Was on his way homewards, when at Newcastle he received letters from the King and Wolsey, and one from Tuke, dated London, 10 Dec., which induced him to go back. Expects a safe-conduct from the king of Scots next Wednesday, and will forthwith go to visit him, though it will not gain him the most favorable hearing that the causes are touching Angus. Will make what expedition he can, though he is full 65 years old, "wanting power of body, feblished, and made weak with many winter journeys, and otherwise in manner little better of substance but as I had 26 years ago. My heart, will and mind is and shall be good, so long as I may continue; but I assure you this is the sorest winter that I have suffered in my life."
	Sends copy of an article contained in his last letters, which Tuke has doubtless seen, touching the merchants of Edinburgh troubled by the poor merchants of Berwick, about the sale of salt salmon; also a letter of the queen of Scots on the subject. Berwick, St. John's Day in Christmas week. Signed.

Porcacchi, p. 27 b.	5072. SANGA to CAMPEGGIO.
	The Pope has been highly satisfied with your negotiations hitherto, and thinks you have acted very prudently. Considering the offices you have performed with the Queen, the King ought to comprehend that the Pope has every wish to gratify him, but is hindered by powerful reasons from precipitating the result which the King desires; and therefore they ought not to make so much importunity. You write that you cannot long sustain this burden alone; but as an ample reply is about to be sent you as soon as the cavalier (Casale) arrives here, hold out for the love of God, and do not allow yourself to be drawn a step further. The Pope is aware of the good will of the cardinal of York towards the See Apostolic, and knows for certain that he induced the King to request a legate for this cause, although the prelates of the kingdom assured him that he could do without one. But would to God the Cardinal had allowed the matter to take its course, because, if the King had come to a decision without the Pope's authority, whether wrongly or rightly, it would have been without blame or prejudice to his Holiness. It would greatly please the Pope if the Queen could be induced to enter some religion, because, although this course would be portentous and unusual, he could more readily entertain the idea, as it would involve the injury of only one person. The King must see that the Pope is giving him all possible facilities for this purpose.
	With regard to the dispensation for marrying the son to the daughter of the King, if, on the succession being thus established, the King will reject his first thought of the divorce, the Pope will be much more inclined to grant it. I will write more diffusely on the return hither of the cavalier Casale.
	The cardinal of York is in error if he believes that the Emperor will no more take this matter to heart than anything else which might happen to him; for the Pope has not a mere conjecture, but most certain knowledge, that the case is quite otherwise, and that it would be impossible for the Pope to give him any offence which would affect him more than this; though the Pope would not be influenced by this consideration if the result might be effected without scandal, or if the reasonableness of the King's desire were evident. Nor must the Cardinal imagine that the Pope has become cold in gratifying the King, owing to the successes of the Imperialists, as you write is there suspected; for if the Pope made a thousand agreements with the Emperor, he would never lose the memory of the benefits conferred by the King on himself personally, and on the Holy See. Neither for the Emperor, nor for all the world together, would he do the slightest injury to the King, with whom he is as much satisfied as he is offended with others. So the Pope has not changed his sentiments on account of the Emperor's victory; not has he, by returning to Rome, declared himself an Imperialist. Rome, _.
	Ital.
28 Dec. Vit. B. X. 186. B. M.	5073. SIR FRANCIS BRYAN and PETER VANNES to WOLSEY.
	Franciscus Campanus and Vincent Casale arrived here tonight. Casale says that the Pope cannot be induced by reasons or threats to allow Wolsey [to have] the bull which Campeggio has concerning the King's cause, and he would never have granted it if it had not been already granted. To this Gregory answered that the Pope did not consider the King's merits or the importance of the cause, but would rather compel him to provide for himself in another way. The Pope said he did not think he would do that, but if the King did so he must not depart from his duty. He seems to care nothing for threats, and sends this person to excuse his refusal. Gregory also sends Vincent to show the King the real reason which influences the Pope.; his fear of the Emperor, who, he thinks, will be soon master of Italy, which certain prophecies also foretell. The archbishop of Capua is at Rome, and does all he can to hinder this matter. He told the cardinal of Mantua that he had advised the Pope not to meddle, lest he should destroy himself and the whole Church. The cardinal of Mayence warned him, that if this divorce took place all Germany and the Lutheran sect would attack him. Jacopo Salviati told Sir Gregory that the Pope feared a general council, lest he should offend the Emperor. He has heard of the answer to Silvester; suspects the Emperor's coming to Italy; thinks that he wishes to disunite the two Kings, and is endeavoring to settle Italian matters according to his own desires. He knows that the General is at Genoa bringing great offers. Many people think the Emperor only wants to squeeze more money out of him. Fear that the mission of the General will strengthen the Imperialists. Write this only from Vincent Casale's report. Have not yet spoken on public matters to Campanus.
	The common people of France seem quite exhausted. The nobles are returning from Italy complaining of the King's neglect to send money, and of the Venetians' delay and cruelty to the French. Tell Wolsey this, that he may see that they rather require to be kept to their word than are ready to help the French. Gregory Casale told the Pope that Vincent was sent on his private affairs, and his Holiness suggested his accompanying Campanus. Gregory assented, but told Vincent to be careful in what he said, and to get as much information from Campanus as possible. He has discovered from his conversation that the principal instructions to Campeggio are to pr[olong] the divorce as long as possible, and advise the Queen to enter a state of religion.
	The prothonotary Gambara said to Andrea Casale at Bologna, that the General will demand the creation of four Cardinals and money for the restitution of the cities; that the Emperor will come to Italy, and be friendly to the Pope. Supposes he has heard of the sudden attack on Doria. Bryan writes to the King. Chambrii (Chambery), 28 Dec. Dec. 1528.

31 Dec. R. O.	5077. W. CAPON, Priest, to CROMWELL.
	Thanks him for the trouble he has taken about making his ring, for which he will recompense him at their next meeting. According to my Lord's commandment they have entered into the barn of corn at Felixstowe, to which the keeper made no resistance. Asks when the auditor will come to Gipswiche, for he wishes the account of the college to be done before he comes to London next term. Rushe and his other friends are in good health. Mr. Sub-dean, and Lee and Barbour, the master masons, will shortly take my Lord the whole platte of the college, to know his pleasure therein. Gipswiche, 31 Dec. Signed.

31 Dec. Galba, B. IX. 138. B. M.	5078. JOHN HACKETT to FRIAR WEST.
	"My ghostly father, Friar West." Has received his letter from Greenwich, 21 Nov., and perceives thereby that Wolsey had no leisure to write in answer to his letters, or to West's declaration touching Ric. Harman. Wishes his Grace had asked Tuke, or some other, to write a few words. Wonders that he has not shown Wolsey the importance of this business; for if Harman escapes, the example will comfort others more to ill than to good. The Council declare that as Harman has been for many years a free burgess of Antwerp, and sworn to the Emperor, the particulars of the treason of which he is accused must be declared by a limited time, which, for lack of instructions from the King, Hacket has caused to be prolonged three times, and the last term expired on the 4th, at which time Harman and his friends thought to have got clear off. It were too long to write the great solicitations and labors made by the lords of Antwerp and Harman's friends for his liberty. Considers this matter of more importance than they seem to think at home, seeing that he has had no answer to his letters for four months. Not without great difficulty has obtained from my Lady and her Council a new term, which expires on the last Friday of Feb. next, by which time he hopes for instructions. Thinks that for the heresy Harman's purse will suffer, but not his body.
	Sir Richard Akerston, the apostate priest, who is not a freeman of these parts, lies still in prison at Antwerp. The Governor writes that whenever we will pay his costs, he will deliver him to be sent to England. Wishes him to ask Wolsey what he is to do, for he has no letters, and Legh's attorney, who has charge to receive his money, can get none. Hears that Harman says that his imprisonment has cost him more than 2,000 gyldens, and that he trusts to recover damages, for nothing can be laid to his charge but superstitous and naked... Hopes he will miss his meaning in this, if my Lord sends instructions. Has written to Mr. Governor for Mr. Craen, as West desired, but a good word of my Lord's will do more good. Fears that otherwise the company will make some difficulty.
	To speak again of Harman, without good information from England it will be hard to bring him to penalty, for he denies his acts of heresy, and there is not sufficient proof here. Besides the most part of Antwerp are as good Christians as they are in Almain, so he has not the less favor. This is the substance of a letter he sent by Mr. Governor on the 24th inst. Encloses a memorandum for Wolsey or Tuke of the money due to him. Maghelyn, 31 Dec. 1528. Signed.

	Received his kind and loving letter at 7 a.m. on the 30th. Thanks him for delivering his present to Wolsey. As to the cranes and other wild fowl that Wolsey wishes to have provided for him by Saturday night, they are scarce, as so many great men have been in the country. Sends, however, 8 cranes, 6 curlews, 6 mewed knots, 3 gray birds, and one heronsewe. Is sorry his last present was no better carried. Sent it living, thinking it would be more acceptable. Sends this by one of the servants of the Guild. Boston, 31 Dec., 10 p.m.

31 Dec. Le Glay, Négociations, II. 676.	5081. DE ROSIMBOZ and DES BARRES to CHARLES V.
	After the late return of Des Barres from England, whither he had been sent by Madame to negotiate the truce, she dispatched him to the king of France, under pretence of conveying to the King her ratification of the said truce, in order to learn the King's disposition, which was said to be very bad. Account of Des Barres' negotiations for peace with Francis and Madame d'Angoulême. On his return Bayart arrived at Malines with fresh overtures to Margaret from the said Madame d'Angosmois. He proposed a conference between those two ladies, as no other persons could arrange matters satisfactorily, and experience of the past proved it would be fruitless to place the affair in the hands of the king of England and the Cardinal, who would prolong the negotiations in order to beguile and injure both Charles and Francis, and would endeavor to impose conditions advantageous and profitable to themselves. Bayart was requested to draw up the proposed treaty in the form of a minute, which was greatly altered by the Emperor's council, who consider it will be beneficial, because (among other reasons) it will cause the English to pay court to the Emperor, without costing him anything, even for the intercourse; and it relieves him from the large offers which he has made to the King and Cardinal, both respecting the marriage of his niece, the princess of Denmark, for whom some better alliance may be made, and other matters; and consequently the Emperor will be better able to remedy the affair of the Queen his aunt. Charles will also obtain a large sum from Francis, which will drain that kingdom of money, so that Francis for a considerable time will be unable to recommence the war; and, should he do so, it would serve to discharge the debts to England, which would then cease to reproach the Emperor.
	The report of the commissioners who were sent to England respecting Charles's aunt, the queen of England, is annexed.
	Account of the embassy of Rosimboz and Des Barres to France. The English ambassador in France had told Francis that the King his master had been informed that Rosymboz and Des Barres were about to pass through France to Spain on some errand of importance concerning peace, and prayed Francis to declare what he knew of the matter. Francis replied they had not spoken to him, but when he had given them audience he would tell the ambassador all. Madame d'Angosmois therefore proposed they should have audience of Francis in some public hall, in order to remove the suspicions both of the English and of others. To this they consented; but afterwards they had a private interview with Madame. Malines, 31 Dec.

	The King has given him inexpressible satisfaction in commanding his humble services. He is to assist lord James Butler against James Gerald, pretended earl of Desmond, who, following the bad example of some of his forefathers, has rebelled against the King. But I have learned from some threatening language of the earl of Kildare's servants, that my brother the earl of Ormond, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose, suffers serious disturbances from some of your subjects, and without him I fear I cannot be of much use. I beg, therefore, that you will allow him to visit his own country (ad propria meare).

The King, however, promised to receive his kin and friends, if they would make similar offers.

If my lord of Rutland ask for a letter to the abbot for a farm called Wilhows, it may please you to stay therein, and write "to the said Lord as ye think best."

	Thanks the Cardinal for absolving him from his errors at the intercession of cardinal Campeggio. He had confessed to Campeggio the holding heretical communications with one Dynamus, who had come to Calais two or three years ago. Dynamus having asked him to what studies he was most devoted, he replied, "To the Scriptures;" and being again asked what interpreter he chiefly followed, he said, "Johannes Lyranus, because he is esteemed (habetur) in the booksellers' shops above all the books of the Old and New Testament." To which Dynamus facetiously replied, "Dimitte delirum illum Lyram, and take this new preacher of the Gospel," giving him Luther's treatises De Abroganda Missa, Expositio super Visionem Danielis, In octavum Danielis;—which the writer had never seen before. He also received from him three books which Dynamus had bought at the market of Antwerp, viz., Melancthon on the Epistle to the Romans and on the Gospel of Matthew, and Luther De Servo Arbitrio. Melancthon on the Gospel of John, and on the two Epistles to the Corinthians, with Francis Lambert on the Rule of the Minorites, he had resold to James Yates; and some other volumes in English and German, which he had copied out with his own hand.

After this Sir Christopher came to his kinsman Dr. Burbanke, about six years ago, to bring "this" charge against Cooke, and sued him "in your Gracis odiens;" but Burbank caused the suit to surcease at that time, in consequence of a letter written to him by the late bishop of Winchester, explaining the circumstances.

R. O.	5096. CONFESSION of WM. STAPLETON, Clerk, to WOLSEY.
	Was a monk of St. Benett's, in Norfolk. In 19 Hen. VIII. one Dennys of Hoston brought him two books called Thesaurus Spirituum and Secreta Secretorum, a ring, a plate, a circle, and a sword for the art of digging, which he said he had from the vicar of Watton, and for which Stapleton and John Kerver gave him two nobles in pledge. Having been often punished for [not] rising to matins, and doing his duty in the church, asked "my Lord" for licence to sue out a dispensation; which he granted, with six months' time to purchase it. Went that night to Dennys to ask help for purchasing the dispensation, and he introduced Stapleton to two cunning persons who had a placard for treasure trove, who gave him books and other things concerning the art of digging. Went to search a place called Systerne, but were ordered off the ground by lady Tyrry. Went to Norwich, and thence to Fellmyngham, with one Godfrey and his boy, "which Godfrey had a shewer called Anthony Fular; and his said boye did scrye unto hym (which said spirytt I had after myselff)." Could find nothing, and returned to Norwich, where they met a person who took them to a house in which he thought there was treasure. Called the spirit of the treasure to appear; "but he did not, for I suppose of a treweth there was noone there." Asked one Ric. Theny for help to get his dispensation, and he and his friends gave him 46s. 8d. Came to London, and purchased in Wolsey's court a dispensation to be a hermit. After his return to Norfolk was again persuaded to continue the science, but he said he would not unless his books were better. Procured from one Leech certain instruments and a book to which the parson of Lesingham had bound a spirit called Androw Malchus. Leech told him that the said parson, Sir John of Leiston and another had lately called up Andrew Malchus, Oberion and Inchubus, and that when Oberion would not speak they asked Andrew Malchus the cause, who answered that it was because he was bound to the lord Cardinal, and they entreated to be allowed to depart, promising to do any service at any future time. The plate which was made for the calling of Oberion has remained with Sir Thos. Moore since Stapelton was before him. Was taken to Walsingham by one Ric. Tynney, to see "the lord Leonard Marques," who spoke to him about the art of digging, and promised that if he would take pains about it he would sue out a dispensation for him to be a secular priest, and make him his chaplain. To try him, money was hid in the garden; but he could not find it. Went after that with Sir John Shepe and Sir Robt. Porter to a place near Creke Abbey, where they thought treasure was. Shepe called the spirit, and Stapleton "showed" to him, but all to no purpose. Went to London, and stayed there ten weeks till Christmas time, and then went into Leicestershire with lord Leonard, who had sued out his dispensation. Returned to Norfolk about the beginning of Lent. Was asked by one Cooke of Calkett Hall to try his art, as there was much money about his place. Wrote to Sir John of Leiston to come and assist, but he would not; so Stapleton and the parish priest of Gorleston tried, but to no effect. Came to London with his brother, and was arrested for leaving lord Leonard without licence. Left his instruments at Sewell's house at Westminster, whence they were taken to Sir Thos. Moore, who still has them. Lord Leonard sent for him to Kew, and finally pardoned him, and caused him to be discharged. Was engaged by Sir John Ratclyff, parson of Wanstrowe, in the West country, to help him in his benefice; but he left Westminster suddenly, without Stapleton.
	As to the matters concerning the duke of Norfolk, was told by one Wright, servant to the said Duke, that his master was sore vexed with a spirit by Wolsey's enchantment. Answered that it was too high a matter to meddle with. Was sent for by the Duke, who told Wright to inform him of his pleasure. Wright said that the Duke was troubled with a spirit, and he had told him Stapleton could do him good; and he advised Stapleton to feign something, and thereby exalt himself, his brother and Wright. Refused at first; but at last, "soore blynded with covetize," consented, and the next time he saw the Duke told him he had made and sanctified an image of wax to his similitude, but he did not know whether it had done him good. The Duke then asked him if he knew whether the Cardinal had any spirit? Said he only knew what has been already stated about Oberion. The Duke then sent for Dr. Wilson, who examined him. He then ordered him to write down all the premises, and to go to Wolsey.

	iv. Minute of the proceedings of the commissioners (fn. 5) of sewers above-named (see § i.) 21 Sept. 20 Hen. VIII.
	1. They had caused to come before them 24 sufficient and honorable men, viz., out of the lordships of Marke and Oye 8, out of the county of Guisnes 6, skunage of Calais 4, lordship of Collom 4, and lordship of Hampnes [2], who were sworn to make due inquisition, with orders "to begin their view at the great timber sluice at Newnham bridge, and so from thence eastward from Mighell Byne's house, to visit the river that cometh from Marke, called 'th'Old Ryver,' as far as Collom bridge, where the skunage and the lordship of Marke departeth; and from thence to return to the little stone sluice betwixt Newnham bridge and the castle; and there to visit the river called the Howlett, unto the place where the said river and the mowre dyke doth meet together; and that done, to visit the great sluice of timber, and that part of the said river, called the Howlett, which hath issue at the said sluice unto the lazar house at Middleway," and to return a true verdict according to written instructions on the 23rd day following.
	2. On the said 23rd day, the before-mentioned quest came before them in the council chamber, and delivered their verdict, showing that the said sluice is in great decay, and must be new made in short time, for if it should be broken by stormy weather or violence of the sea, the country would "lie drowned both with salt water and fresh water."
	3. There is a creek coming out of the Plasshe, otherwise called the Goyle, to the said sluice, 120 tailors' yards long, which is dammed up, "whereby the country above is sore noyed with water; howbeit it is to think the same was done because of the weakness of the sluice.
	4. In the river at Mighell Byne's house is a great strait of small depth, at the east end whereof is a weir to take fish, and a bridge which is too short by 6 feet. This strait or "sheldner" (?) is in length about 300 feet, "in which there groweth great quantity of reeds" obstructing the river, and they say that the river should be "new dolvyn" at the King's cost, and cleansed, the northern half by the King's tenants in the scunage, and the other by the King's tenants of Millman's brooke. 5. An arrowshot eastward on the said river is a bridge, under which is a great dam of gravel fallen through the said bridge. (In margin, "The said dam of gravel is taken away.") Also, from thence eastward to a river which cometh from Guysnes on the west side of Collom hill must be cleansed, the north side by them of the skunage, and the south by them of Mylman's brooke, in the county of Guysnes. From thence to Collom bridge, which is a mile long and 20 feet in breadth, there be many bridges and dams which been unlawful, and greatly cumbered with wyeds and other filth; and they say that all the river from the sluice at Newnham bridge ought to be delved by the King, both because he has toll and fishing on it, and principally that part of the county of Guysnes, part of the skunage, and part of the lordship of Marke is drained by the river. 6. A sewer comes down from the castles of Guisnes and Hamps underneath Collom into the before-mentioned [river], which in time of war or danger may serve for the conveyance of all manner things from Calais to those castles; "by which there cometh down so great abundance of water that ... may not have the due course westward to the sea by the sluice at Newnham bridge, it reboundeth eastward, and drowneth 6,000 or 7,000 acres in the lordship of Collom and Mark." It should be cleansed at all times by the King's tenants. 7. There is a decayed bridge upon the Old River, between St. Peter's and Collom, to be new made at the King's cost. (Marg. note. The bridge is not yet made, but must be made at the King's cost.) 8. They have viewed the stone sluice betwixt Newnham bridge and the castell, with the part of the [river] Howlett which joineth the sewer called the Moredyke, which is 4 miles long, scilt. from the lordship of Marke; but have viewed no further than the grene bank which departeth the lordship of Marke from the skunage. (Marg. note. The said part of the Howlett betwixt the stone sluice and the More dyke is now cast at the King's cost, and the tenants have begun to cast the More dyke, which will cost 50l. sterling the dolving.) And they say that the same had great need to be cast this year, from a dyke in the middle way by which the water of a sewer made by Master Deputy doth descend into the said Moore dyke; which dyke should be made 12 feet broad, and covered with a vault of stone, at the King's cost, where it crosses the highway called the Mydleway. (Marg. note. The vault is not yet done, though it were right necessary, and must be made at the King's cost.) From there down to More dyke it is to be cast till it joins the Howlett, at the tenant's cost, and thence to the said stone sluice, at the King's. (Marg. note. Which is now done at the King's cost.) Also, that on the More dyke is a bridge on the way from Bullon gate to the playne of St. Peter's, which had need to be vaulted. (Marg. note. The said bridge is not yet vaulted.) Also, at the said bridge there would be a "spoye" to be shut with the flood and open, with the ebb, to prevent inundation between Newnham bridge and Calais castle. (Marg. note, mutilated.) There is also another bridge upon the More dyke, leading from the Milgate by the windmill to St. Peter's church, which should also be vaulted with stone, for that way is greatly occupied with all manner of carriages; which bridges and spoye is to be made at the King's cost.
	9. Also they have viewed the sluice of timber behind the castle and the river Howlett, that descends from the Lazar house to the same; which river between those places is half a mile long and 24 feet broad; and say that the sluice must have cost in calking, because it defends not the water sufficiently. From the said sluice the river must be cast to a little dyke on the south side, going into the More dyke, which little dyke is not more than 300 feet long, and must be now [made?] 16 feet broad, to the intent that when the stone sluice is overcharged with water it may take course to the timber sluice by the said dyke; and by that means the great river shall not be dolven the length of 3 furlongs, but shall lie whole to a certain cross dyke which shall not pass 300 feet in length, whereby the river betwixt the Lazar house and that dyke, 3 furlongs in length, being new cast at the King's cost, shall descend into the More dyke. (Marg. note. The river cannot be cast of such breadth this year; but there is a dyke 5 foot broad, cast from the lazar house at Mydleway to the sluice behind the castle, so that the water may void by the same through the More dyke, which is now in casting; howbeit, it must needs be cast next summer at the King's cost.)
	10. At the said Lazar house is a bridge of timber over the river, which is too narrow by one half, and would be made with a vawte of stone; and over the dyke which cometh from the Conduyt House there is a bridge of timber, which, for like consideration, would be made of stone. Out of the great river Howlett, which cometh to the Conduytt House, there would be made a spoye to keep the river at a certain height, otherwise in winter the water will drown the country on the south side of the same. (Marg. note. The said bridges remain as they did. As yet there is no spoye made.)
	The commissioners having viewed the verdict, gave the jury a new injunction to inquire and visit all parts of the lordship of Marke and Oye and the lordship of Collom; on which they returned their verdict, 1 Oct. 20 Hen. VIII., as follows:
	1. The river which d[escends] from Collom bridge to Newnham bridge, mentioned in former verdict, is part of the Olde Ryver which descends from Marke castell to Newnham bridge, and is 3 miles long. (Marg. note. The river is now sufficiently cleansed by the tenants, and must be cast next year at the King's cost.)
	2. On the south side of the river 3 sewers descend into it; the first called Elfdyke, 3 miles long and 16 feet broad; the second Marlede, and the third Piers Watergang, each 3 miles long and 16 feet broad; wherefore the river is to be digged from Marke Castell to Newnham bridge, at the King's cost, and cleansed by the tenants twice a year, specially from the sewer mentioned in the first verdict, which cometh from the castles of Guysnes and Hamps to Newnham bridge. (Marg. note. The river is cast this year from Marke southward, 4 miles in length and 30 feet broad; by means of which the banks be made so sufficient that no water shall come over to drown the countries, for in default of such banks of late the lordship of Marke hath been destroyed. Also, all fords and dreves betwixt Marke and Calles be dolven up.)
	3. There is a river called the Howlett, which beginneth at Boyet's and cometh down to Marke, and thence straight to the Conduyte Howse of Calais; which river is 7 miles long and 24 feet broad, and is alway to be cast at the King's cost, by reason that the King receiveth toll upon the same. (Marg. note. The said river is cast this year.) And the said river is to be kept within the banks by cost of the King's tenants, otherwise there cometh so great abundance of water that wheresoever it breaks over, or upon which side, the country is drowned. Also, by the said river the town of Calais is not only principally furnished with victual, but also with fresh water. There are two bridges on the river, of which the foundations be of stone, and four others, all of timber. All which bridges are to be made at the King's cost; for an those bridges were not, there should be as many fords for the passing of carts and [oth]er carriages, which would create banks of gravel and sand, and stop the course of the water, and make it run over. (Marg. note. All the said [bridges] of stone [are] vaulted over [this] year, and all the bridges of timber new made at the King's cost.) Also, over the said river are two foot-bridges of timber, which arne to be made at the country's cost. (Marg. note. New made this year at the tenants' cost.)
	4. There is another river, called the Est Ryver, which beginneth at Marke Castell and descendeth to Graveling ward, which is in length 6 miles; which, as the King takes toll and fishery, should always be cast at the King's cost, and cleansed at the tenants'. And upon the same river there lieth twain bridges of timber, and at the west end of the river a dam, called an overlope, to wind over such boats as come from Graveling to Calais, and from Calais thither. (Marg. note. The river hath [been dol]ven this year [at the K]ing's cost. ... in length, in places where most need was, and the rest must be cast next summer at the said cost. The said bridges of timber and overlope hath been made new this year at the King's cost.)
	5. On the east end of the river there is the sluice called the Scluse of Oye, and another bridge vawted with stone, in which the flood gates of the said sluice open and shut with the tide; and betwixt the said sluice and the west end of the river there lieth eight gotes or spoyes of stone in the bank, viz., one against Marke pasture, one against the Chauntryn, one against Hofkirke bridge, one against the nonnery, one against the Southe Watergang, one against the Northe Watergange, one by Twytchitt's house, and the last by Jo. Vaidvel's house. (Marg. note. The said gates been all new made this year at the King's cost.) On the south side of the river are other eight spoyes, whereof a little spoye of stone called Browring's watergang, and another of timber near it for boats to pass through; another spoye of timber at John Pownes' Watergang; another, of stone, at Hofkirck bridge, called Peter Jesse Watergang; another, of stone, at the nonnery; "and another of timber lyeth at Harwaye for botes to passe ... stone at the est syde of John ... spoye of stone, called the Spr ... lyeng at bothe sides of the said ... of stone, and iiij. of tymber, all w ... that when the see water with ... that by the same the londe water ... ryver, so that by the same ryver ... scluse, and so to the see. Wherfor ... ryvers and spoyes must be made ... by theym, all the est part of Marke ..."
	6. On the north side of the [river] "is another watergang, called the Southe ... beginning at the highway from Hofkirche to ... and stretchid within half a mile of Oye scluse, so that the same is in length 2 miles, and in breadth 16 feet, which is to be cast and cleansed at all times at the tenants' cost." Also over the sewer is a bridge of stone vaulted, which is a principal highway, and is to be made at the King's cost. (Marg. note. Made this year at the King's cost.) The watergang doth issue into the great river by one of the before-mentioned spoyes within half a mile of Oye scluse. Also, there is another watergang more northward, "which beginneth there as a green bank departeth the lordship of Mark and the scunage on the north side of the Howlett, and is called Crowkid Watergang, and descendeth from the said green bank to one of the spoyes before-mentioned within a flight shott of the said sluice;" and is 7 miles in length and 16 feet broad; which must be cast and cleansed at all times at the tenants' cost. Also upon the said watergang lieth twain vawtes of stone, which serve for two principal highways, the one from Marke to Wale, and the other from Oye to the highway to Graveling, which twain vawtes arne to be made at the King's cost. (Marg. note. "All the said twain vawtes of stone ben sufficiently made and repaired this yere.") Also "there is a little sewer which beginneth at the north side of Oye castell, and is conveyed by a little spoye under Calles dampe, and from thence cometh out by another spoye which leadeth on the north side of the sluice, which sewer is an English mile of length, and is to be digged and cleansed at the cost of the tenants ... that the said three sewers doth lie in the parish ... they say that on the south side of the grete ... the Est Ryver there lieth a little sewer ... brings watergang, which is a mile and a half [in length, and] in brede 12 feet, and descendeth into the ... [G]rete ryver by one of the spoyes before-mentioned ... same is alway to be cast and cleansed at the tenants' [cost. Al]so they say that there is another watergang, called ... utryn, containing 3 myle of length and 18 feet, which watergang descendeth by one of the spoyes ... before-mentioned into the said great river. [Also] they saye that there is a crosse watergang, called the ... dyke, which is a mile in length and 16 feet broad;" another called the Gote fleete, of like length and brede; another called Gempe streite dyke, of like length, and but 12 feet broad. Which three thwart sewers descend into the sewer called the Chauntreyn, and by the same descendeth by a spoye of timber before-mentioned into the said great river. All which sewers they say to be in the parish of Gempe. On the south side of the said great river they say there is a watergang, called Pownes watergang, 4 miles long and 16 feet broad, which descends by a timber spoye before-mentioned into the great river, which must always be cast and cleansed at the tenants' cost. And there is another watergang, called Haile Fayers watergang, 4 miles long and 16 feet broad, which descendeth by a spoye of stone at Hofkirk bridge into the said great river, which must always be cast at the tenants' cost. The said twain watergangs lie in the parish of Hofkirche.
	7. There is another watergang on the south side of the great river, 3 miles long and 16 feet broad, descending out of a spoye of stone into the great river, which must always be digged and cleansed by the tenants; and another called Harwaye watergang, 5 miles long and 18 feet broad, to which there cometh a cross watergang, called the Stakmarte, 2 miles long and 16 feet broad; and over the said watergang be twain vawtes of stone, by one of which the way leadeth to Haile Faires, and the other leads from Gempe churche to Harway. And the said watergang descendeth into the great river by a spoye of timber before-mentioned. And the said watergang and cross watergang must be always cast and cleansed at the tenants' cost. And the said twain watergangs and cross watergang lie in the parish of Herwaye.
	8. Also on the south side of the great river is another watergang, called John de Fowler's watergang, 4 miles long and 18 feet broad; also there cometh a cross watergang from Harwaye church, in which there lieth twain gotes of stone, one between the way from Harwaye churche to Jo. Fowler's house, a [mile] and half in length, and 16 feet broad, which descendeth by a spoye of timber at the smith's house into the said great river. "Also there is another watergang on the es[t side of] John Fowler's house, called the Kitting, which is in length ... mile and in brede 16 foote," which descends by a stone spoye into the great river. There is another watergang in the Sproyere, called the Banys, 5 miles long and 18 feet broad, over which is a vawte of stone for the highway which cometh from Owderkirc to John Van Sotherring's bridge; which watergang descendeth by a spoye of stone at the Sprewery into the great river. All these watergangs "arne alway to be digged and cleansed at the tenants' cost," and are in the parishes of Harway and Owderkirc.
	9. Besides the above watergangs, there are in the quarters where the said watergangs lie dykes without number; "for every ground, though it pass not 2 or 3 acres large, is dykyd rownde abowte; by which dykes the waters be conveyed into the before-mentioned watergangs. And out of the watergangs be divers spoyes before rehearsed, into the said great river, by which all descendeth to Oye scluse, and from thense to the see."
	10. Also the jury have viewed "the warffs, gittes, and saltwater bancks, beginning at Calais and continuing to Graveling," and find that the last day of August, by force of a spring tide, before the Lantron gate a hole was broken in the wharf which was new repaired last year, and that in searching the bottom of the said hole "it was found to be hollow from the west side of the Lantron gate bridge to the next tower corner westward, containing 150 feet. Wherefore the same is necessary to be ransacked from the bottom and every seam filletted, also rammed with clay and filled up again." (Marg. note. "The said wharf is now sufficiently repaired, as it was devised by the said quest, at all points.")
	11. Also by the said spring tide the sea came so high over the wharf at Beauchamp tower that it brake out the ground in many places into the highway; wherefore the wharf of timber must be new repaired, filletted, and rammed with clay from the bottom, and a sea bank of clay turfs set upon the same. The extent of repairs to be made is 6 feet in length. (Marg. note. "The said warffe ... the mooste ... aired and made [in all po]incts as was ... the rest shalbe [made sho]rtely. Also at ... of the said jette ... s now digged up [a g]rete nombre of stones whiche was coverd under ... sands.")
	12. Also they "have viewed both the east and west jetty, and find the ends of both to be broken by force of the said spring tide, and divers other parts of the same greatly frusshid and ruffild, so that part must be made new and part amended." (Marg. note. "There is now doing upon them as much as can be done before winter, that timber may be [con]veyed for the same."
	13. "Betwixt Beauchamp tower and Gravelling, which is 9 miles in length, there be many great breaches; howbeit, on the south side of the sea, within the land, there is a seabank to defend the sea out of the lordship of Marke and Oye, the west end of which seabank beginneth against Oye castle, and so goeth eastward 2 mile of length, and there turneth a mile of length southward and joyned to Oye scluse."
	14. Within the said bank is another, called Calles Dampe, beginning at the west end of the before-mentioned seabank, and going straight eastward to the seabank of Graveling. The seabank next to the sea is to be kept up at the King's cost; and the inner seabank, called Dampe, at the charge of the freemen of Marke and Oye, who have great privileges granted to them for maintaining the same, for though the King's bank should break the said freemen's bank must hold.
	15. Also they have viewed the fresh-water banks appertaining to the lordship of Marke, of which the first is a fresh-water bank, whereby the King's ground is departed from the Emperor's, called the Hooke, beginning on the further side of the great river, and proceeding southwards 5 miles. Another "goeth east and west from the said waterb[ank], by which is departed the King's land and the Emperor's, [and is called] Braynard; the east end of which bank beginneth [in] the said Hooke and ends at Boyetts, being 5 miles in length; which banks arne to be maintained at the King's [cost], for they not only do depart the princes' ground before-named, but also defend the water out of the King's ground; for the water of the Emperor's side lieth higher than the King's ground within the said banks by 3 foot winter and summer."
	16. "There is another fresh-water bank, called e ... banck, which stretcheth from Pryks bridge to Collom ..., which is 3 miles in length, and must also be maintained at the King's cost, for when that bank faileth, all that quarter of Marke goeth under the water, for the water there lieth also higher by 3 feet winter and summer than the land within the said bank doth. Also, they say that there is an ordenance that if any beasts be found upon any of the said banks there is certain sums of money forfeited, which is to be employed upon the said banks, so that before Michaelmas they may be sufficiently repaired to defend the winter's water." (Marg. note. "This bank must be newly cast or repaired where need is.")
	17. Also they have viewed the seabank, beginning at the castle of Callis, and so proceeding to a plesshe called the Glewpott, which is right east and west, and so forth southwards to Newnham bridge, also beyond the said bridge westwards a broad arrow shot, where then the said seabank turneth towards the Downs northward; which bank is in length from the castle to the Downs against Dykeland, 2 miles. (Marg. note. The said seabank is now more than half made of the height devised, and work folks continuing upon the same.) In the said seabank betwixt the timber sluice and the little stone sluice behind the castle, there is a great fawte 465 feet long, which must be amended and made with a seabank rey ... 15 feet, which must needs be made in haste. Betwixt Newnham bridge and the rounde bulwerke of erthe there is a place in the seabank 1,000 feet in length, which, of necessity, must be made new forthwith of 5 feet deep and 3 feet broad, besides the bank, which is now new made already betwixt the said bridge and bulwark of 315 feet in length, in depth 5 feet, and in brede 3¼ feet. (Marg. note. "The said see[bank as] well beyond [Newnham] bridge as in [other pla]ces betwixt [the said] bridge and ... stone sluice [is] now new made ... that bank which containeth ... feet in length.") There is a seabank next without Newnham bridge, 195 feet long, which is now new made of sea turf, 4 feet deep and 3 feet broad, and there is another seabank beyond the fore-mentioned bank without Newnham bridge, which is now new made, in length 325 feet, in depth 5 feet, and in breadth 3½ feet. On the south side of the turf bulwark within Newnham bridge, the wharf must be new planked and filletted, "also new lantoeyes, ankres, and bynders," which wharf is 105 feet in length, in depth 4½ feet, which must be filled on the inside with sea clay, 3½ feet thick, for defence of the said bulwark. (Marg. note. "The said warffe stondith yet still unrepaired.") And where there was a scluse in the said seabank betwixt the Downs and Newnham bridge, the same was taken up by the King's commandment, so that ever sith the sea hath flowed up to Sandgate, which was thought it should have been a great amendment to the haven. In consideration whereof they say that one of twain things must be done : (1.) To fortify a bank of gravel and stone which goeth straight from Newnham bridge toward Sandgate castle till it come to the end of the great creek, which the bishop of Winchester caused to be digged when the foresaid scluse was first made, and thereto stopped up the said creek with a spoye in the sa[me, which] shall open to the fresh water and shut to the [salt] water; and from the said stopping to fortify another bank of gravel and stone which goeth from thence to the Downs, which they say may be d[one] with the spence of 100l. And if it please the King to take that way, it shall not only amend the haven right largely, but also have much ground which now is lost. (Marg. note. The said bank of gravel is now fortifying.) (2.) The second way is to make the seabank from Martin's Hooke to the Cawsey, which shall be more costlier than the other, for an the sea should have his course so far abroad as it hath now, the bank which shall descend to the cawsey must be of a great thickness, for otherwise it shall not be possible for carriages to pass that way to Calais, for it is every day worse than other.
	18. Also there is twain marres grounds, the one called Couswade, and the other the Maynbrooke, in which twain marres there is of "moeten grounde" 4,800 acres, which, with cost, might be sowed to the King's great advantage, whereby the country should not only be much "strengthtith," but also the haven of Calais largely amended; for an the superfluous waters now in the said marshes might be conveyed to the sea, they should not fail to purge the haven of sand.
	19. Before the rivers were digged and sewers made with seabanks and fresh-water banks, the revenues of Marke and Oye, temp. Hen. VI., passed not 300l.; where sithens, by reason of cost done upon rivers, banks and sclusis by king Edward IV. and Hen. VII., the revenues be now betwixt 1,300l. and 1,400l. Also they say that when the rivers, banks and sluices were maintained by the King's officers, as they ought to be, the King was well paid, and the tenants did prosper both in corn and cattle, being a great surety for the victualling of the town and marches of Calais; where of late, by reason that they have not been repaired, the King's tenants be utterly undone, for they owe unto the King of old rents above 4,000l., besides the debts they owe to men of Calais and other towns, so that now they dare not show their heads. Where in old time it appeareth by inquisition that out of the lordships of Marke and Oye there hath been delivered 20,000 rases of wheat, 30,000 rases of oats, and 10,000 rases of barley, above their own store necessary for horse and man, and for seed; where now this three years past they have been unpurveyed so utterly of all manner of grain, that they have been fain to buy both corn for themselves and their beasts, and to sow their lands, in so much as in the said three years no corn was sown by them which com to prouff; for there could no husbandry help, the country was so overflowed with water, and they who used the greatest husbandry had greatest loss.

	ii. A report touching the seabanks, &c. of Marke and Oye. The heading is much mutilated, but the following words are legible:—
	" ... [d]ay of October ... [f]res-water banks and seebanks, and ... lordship of Marke and Oye, as hereafter s ... by eig[ht] substanciall persons of the lordships of Ma[rke and] Oye, appannellid in quest for the same, and solemp[ly sworn] upon the Evangilz, to bring in a trewe reapporte of the s[ame], here after followthe:"
	1. "Aweved (?) the mayne river from Marke to Oye slews ... in length 6 miles, which must be cast at the King's cost ... to the last wardell; and there is to be done on the west side of ... to be cast 200 rods, which by estimation will cost 6s. gret ... for it is 50 foot brood the ryver."
	2. The rest of the river is on the point of 3,000 rods, which ... rods of the lordship of Marke and Oye, which by estimation ... the rod, which river is 30 foot broad.
	3. In the said river is a spoye broken by the last rage that was, and must be made again; by estimation will cost 40s.
	4. Without the sluice eastward to Grayffling (Gravelines) water must be dolven on the point of 300 rods and 24 foot broad; will cost 2s. 8d. the rod.
	5. There is a bridge broken on the said river, called Houffkyrk bryge, and must be made, and will cost 20s. grett.
	6. Item, from Pyrkkyn bryge southward to Boutts, called the Holleed, contains in length 1,300 rods and 24 foot broad; will cost 3s. the rod, for it is a most hold ground.
	7. Pyrkkyns brydge must be new made, and will cost 5l. grett.
	8. From the Boyut westward to the corner called the Cnoll on the Engglys strett is 5 miles long; which must be cast a counter dyke of 14 foot broad, containing 2,600 rods; will cost 14d. grett the rod. "For there is great need by cause the mill stream breaks so often times into Flanders side, and so comes over our banks ... from the ... o the chappell by ... tayns in length ... rods w ... eghttend which ... by exsdemassion (fn. 6) will cost a sterly ... a rod."
	9. A new seabank from Oye slews northward to the pit past Calleys dam, 200 roods long, will cost a golden crown of the sun a rood; for the old bank is ever so occupied with riding wh ... cost that ... it is lost, and every year new to make.
	10. "From ... pyt northward and so westward again Michael Dyk's house, the sea banks is in many gaps, which, 2 miles in length," will cost 200l. grett.
	11. "The downs from the east end westward to the gap of walle had need to be looked upon, for fear it should do much harm in time to come. If that should be amended it will cost much money, more than we can esteem."
	12. "The west river that goes from Marke to Collome bryge, the King's charges was esteemed 40l."
	13. "The fresh-water bank from Perekins bryge along the Cousway[dé] to the chapel to mend where as is need, will cost 20l."
	14. "From Marke to the G ... yke, called the Holled, must be mended on the point of 400 steds, which will cost 8d. gret the rod."
	15. All manner of bridges, spoys and sluices, and breaches of fresh-water and sea-water banks, must be viewed once a year, by the law.
	16. They find the greatest "dyscropssion" (?) of the east marches [due to] two things; viz., (1.) the great west river from Marke to Newnham bryg; which river lies in three lordships, "that is for to ... under Gynsse, the Skyvinage, and under Marke; which rivers hath been cast at the King's great charge, and now if it be not cleansed and dams taken up upon such places as in the county of Gynsse and in the Skyvinage, what that we dig or cleanse in Marke it is our undoing, except that it be cleansed afore the water may come to the sluice of Newnambrygge." (fn. 7)
	17. "T ... d faut is that the Skuniage clens ... Calle[s] ... leed from the grene dyke to the stone sl ... the castell."
	18. "Also the Cunded Howsse hold up the water that the holl ... cannot come to the slews, by resson whereof the water ha ... Holleed can not be made so strong that it may hold sp ... wynter coms and grett gorsse of waterfalls for all th ... sethe thouroo the Coundded Hows, which is not abell to ... partt of the water when suche water falls; howe be it ... a conssyderassion taken that when the Cundded had as ... as shold suffys, then was there a lowe plasse made the ... ployssed of the water shold rone howere, where by the banks ... Holleed shold be at dangger."
	19. "Where for as now for this winter for saffyng the banks of the Holleed from Perekyns bryge to Bovyts, as grett nede is, which must in ... be done shortly, or else the banks will run hower; for they of Breyn ... hath heghttend there banks, whereby it will put our banks to grett dangger, exsep they be shortly a mendded, and there to be sett ij. torpyks apone the said Holleed."
	20. "That no horse nor cart should pass in the winter time."
	21. "Which Holleed will cost, the mendding for this year, 10l. grett."

R. O.	5105. LORD MONTEAGLE.
	Petition of [Richard Bank, executor] of Edward Stanley, late lord Monteagle, to the Lord Chancellor.
	The said late Lord was afflicted with the gout several years before his death, and kept his chamber; and Thomas lord Darcy and Sir John Husy, knowing him to possess money, jewels and plate of great value, wrote him many flattering letters "of many fair, beautiful words, and exhortations of holy and divine stories of Scripture," pretending great love for his soul; so that he made them his executors, with Sir Alex. Radclyff, Laur. Starky, and the petitioner. He willed that his son Thomas should have his money, jewels and plate, and that with his goods and chattels the executors should buy the wardship and marriage of his son. By an agreement made between the executors, Husy was appointed to obtain the wardship, and to pay "the King's debt" and other bequests; and for that purpose the petitioner paid to Husy 844l. He paid many other sums by command of Husy and Darcy, as they were men of great honor, and were commanded by the King to take into their hands the said goods and chattels, but he feared lest the whole should have been wasted by them, as the money was not spent in performing the will. They have taken possession of the plate and apparel, and receive the profits of the lands to their own use, having obtained a patent for the wardship; and they intend to take the profit of the marriage of the young Lord. Thus the debts and legacies cannot be paid, and the waste will be laid to the petitioner's charge. Prays, therefore, for writs of subpæna against Darcy and Husy, to appear in the court of Chancery, and to bring thither the said patent, so that they may have no more profit thereof, and that the young Lord may have the benefit of his marriage and his lands, except the rent paid to the King.

"To take my Lord's interest of Bowys ward." 2. That my Lord make my kinsman, Dr. Strangways, his chaplain, and give him the benefice of Wearmouth, now in his gift. 3. In return, Strangways will be bound in 1,000l. to finish my Lord's buildings at Auckland, and will be always at his service without fee or costs, except if he be sent abroad or to war. Signed.

R. O.	3. "Instructions devised by my lord legate his Grace, for Dr. Strangwysshe, surveyor of Duresme, and Ric. Bellysis, Esq., and to be executed by them within his bishopric of Duresme."
	(1.) To survey all lead, coal, and other mines, and make them as profitable as possible. (2.) To finish the new house and furnace which Wolsey has had built for melting and trying lead with sea coals. (3.) To urge the finers who have undertaken to melt the lead with sea coal to proceed as diligently as possible, without waste or loss of time, so that Wolsey may know what the profits and the yearly value will be. (4.) They shall lease the fishings at Berwick, and levy fines for them, including 20 barrels of salmon yearly during his life; (5.) and do the like with any other farms, fishings, or improvements that may lawfully be taken. (6.) Wolsey's ship of Tynmouth may be rigged and made ready. (7.) The finers must not lack any ore or other thing which they could allege as an excuse. (8.) My Lord's wards may be seized, and the profits of their lands taken to his use, and persons found to buy the marriages, word being sent to him who are the most profitable. (9.) No arrearages of farmers or tenants must be left unlevied. (10.) Mr. Bowes must be asked to be my Lord's escheator; (11.) and he must immediately proceed to find offices of all the wards, so that their lands and bodies may be ordered according to law, and my Lord may have all the profits of their lands and marriages. He wishes to be informed if there are any feoffments alleged to the use or performance of wills, or jointures, or if the mothers of any of the said wards are endowed after the customs and laws there. (12.) His attorney and other officers shall certify him, as soon as convenient, of all fines for alienations, amerciaments for nonsuits, fines on the sheriff for not returning or executing process, forfeitures, recognizances, waifs, strays, felons' goods and lands, deodands, &c., for the last six years, that he may know the yearly worth thereof. (13.) Directly his ship arrives, it is to be laden with coals, and sent to his college at Ipswich.
	Pp. 4.
R. O.	4. Wm. Frankeleyn's instructions to Rauf Hungate.
	(1.) To deliver his letter to Cromwell, showing the trouble he had to borrow money, as the chief part is usually paid at St. Eleinnas. (2.) By the copy of the auditor's letter Cromwell will see how Frankeleyn stands with my lord (Wolsey) on his account ending Michaelmas last. After Easter the auditor will bring up the books, which are not yet ready to send. (3.) The reason why the remainder of money sent is no larger, is that enough lead ore has been provided to make 40 fodder of lead, and a great portion is employed in defending the waters in Howdenshire, without which the country would be drowned. Howdenshire was given to the bishop of Durham for that purpose. (4.) The cost of fining-houses and finers at Gateshead, with other repairs of mills and manor places, and the coals sent to my Lord's college at Ipswich. (5.) Hungate is to ask Cromwell to declare the above to my Lord. If he find fault with the Book of Reparations, the surveyor has perused and signed it. (6.) To cause Mr. Stubbs to sign and seal the acquittance devised by Bentley. None of the money must be used for any arrearages, except for the year ending Michaelmas last. (7.) The country is so poor from failure of corn and death of cattle for the last three years, that the arrearages of the last year of my lord Ruthal cannot be levied without "utterdoing" the country. Will compound with my Lord for it, and pay it himself by selling some of his plate and cattle. If Cromwell advises, will come up shortly to arrange with my Lord. (8.) To show Dr. Marshall the letter from Frankeleyn's brother concerning the corn, and the delivery of the timber at Whitbarne and Darnetone. The dimission of Fytam (?) in Darneton shall be made to him immediately as Frankeleyn promised.

R. O.	5115. STEPHEN VAUGHAN to CROMWELL.
	Since coming to Liesnes, we have surveyed the marsh lands, wood lands, &c., about the late monastery, the parsonages of Raynham and Alvetheley, a marsh called Colherberd in Essex, the manors of Bawdwyns and Fulhams, and the ground beside Dertford, called Gamlyngams Brokes. None of the tenants of Lesnes can inform them about quit-rents, unless it be Pemsey, who has often refused them information. He and Sir Ric. Walden intend to defraud Cromwell of some lands which Pemsey alone knows about; for it appears by a book of sesse that there should belong to Liesnes 600 acres of marsh, and they cannot account for nearly so many. People here are so obstinate, they were four days before they could get a man to show them the lands in Plumsted belonging to the manor of Fulhams. Would have come to Cromwell today, had he not sent for them. Will now depart immediately for Newyngton and Merdin. Ric. Swyft desires to know where Cromwell will stay, that he may prepare for his coming.
	Pemsey has made Mr. Draper obstinate by telling him Cromwell loved him not.

Beg him to protect their innocence. Are sure he will approve when he hears the whole circumstances. Who will be safe if men are allowed to do injury in spite of the magistrates? Who will repel their force, if it is not safe for the magistrates to put to death robbers, "repugnantes a casu," and whom they are unable to arrest alivé Shall those who plot death against the magistrates be allowed to live unpunished?
