began to tell him in plain termes that the Marriage between him and his wife in regard she had been his Brothers was not lawfull and that it was a thing which was much spoken of as well in forraign Nations as in his own Realm and that therefore he was bound in conscience to tell him of it to the intent he might consider of it and inquire further The King looking a long time very earnestly upon the Cardinall as if he had been greatly dismayed at last answered him in these mild terme● Why my Lord you know this Marriage was sufficiently discussed at the beginning by sundry grave and learned men and was at last by them concluded to be good lawfull which was afterwards confirmed and dispensed with by the Pope himself and therefore good Father take h●ed what you say in this great and weighty matter whereupon they thus parted for that time from one another Having once broke the Ice he thus intends to passe thorough the Ford he sends for one Dr. Iohn Longland Bishop of Lincoln Confessor to the King a very timerous man and one that was afraid to say or doe any thing that might displease the Cardinall and therefore was there placed as a man wholy for his purpose him the Cardinall conjures that when the King should deal with him concerning a Scruple of conscience about the marriage of his wife Queen Katharine that by any means he should further the same as much as in him lay and make it a great matter of Conscience to co-habit with her being not his lawfull wife Longland as he supposed having given him his lesson within two or three daies the Cardinall addresseth himselfe to the King and after that he had discussed a while with him concerning the invalidity of the Marriage he adviseth him by all means to resolve on nothing rashly but to advise with his ghostly Father which when he had done his ghostly Father was not altogether the man which the Card took him to be for when the King advised with him concerning the businesse he put it off from himself and advised his Majesty to consult with some other that were the most learned Bishops whereupon the Cardinall had a g●me to play for that which he thought to have got by slight of hand for now the King was pleased to send for the most able Bishops and Divines that he could think upon amongst all which there was not any one in all his kingdome of whom he had a more reverend estimation both for honestly and learning than he had of Doctor Fisher Bishop of Rochester wherefore he was one of the nominates within the list of summons to a meeting at the Cardinall's house in Westminster where after much debatement of the businesse and that the Bishop of Roshester had fully answered and refelled all the Arguments and Reasons which were there made and given concerning the validity of the M●rriage to the satisfaction of most of the Bishops he concluded that there was no cause at all of any question to be made seeing the marriage between the King and the Queen was good and lawfull from the beginning and that therefore it was necessary to remove that scruple from the Kings breast as soone as possible and so the Conference was ended While the Clergy were all thus dancing about a scruple in a lofty room led by the Cardinall they were not aware of the loose fire which was brought into the powder room which was under them ready and at last blew them all up for just in this nick of time the King was deeply falne in love with a faire young Gentlewoman of the Court then waiting upon the Queen called Mrs. A. Bullein secretly a Lutheran and the first that ever opened her mouth to advise the K. to al eration in Religion Daughter to Sir Thomas Bullein Knight who afterward for his daughters sake was promoted to many high honours and dignities This Mrs. Anno had formerly been brought up in the Court of France under the Lady Mary the French Queen Sister to King Henry and sometimes wife of Lewis the 12. King of France wherd she had learnt much courtly fashion and behaviour then strange and dainty in the English Court whereby she farre surpassed all other Lad●es her companions which so inslamed the Kings minde having conceived within himself a possibility of riddance from his old wife and probability of having issue Male by this that inwardly he was resolved to have her nolens volens whereupon for the present he shewed her great favour and expressed unto her many signs of the love which she was yet ignorant of so that now he was resolved upon a hand gallop in this businesse Insomuch that when the Cardinall inscious of his design made his addresse u●to him to give him account of the Conference which was between the Bishops and had told the King how that all did and was likely to stick in the Lord of Rochesten as the onely Remora to that proceeding supposing that if the King could take him off all the rest would follow his judgement the King by this time desiring nothing more than that the Divorce should take effect speedily fell into consulta●ion with the Cardinall how the Bishop might be won to his now design the Cardinall advised his Majesty to send for the Bi●●shop and to work him to him by faire means and gentle usage whereupon the King did as he was advised for the Bishop being sent for and come into the Kings presence the King treated him with exceeding courtesie and liberality of good language and at last took him with him into the long gallery and there walking awhile with him after that he had bestowed many words of praise and commendation upon him for his great Learning and Vertue at length in the presence of the Dukes of Norfolk and Suffolk and some Bishops that were there he un●olded his minde unto him concerning the businesse that was in hand telling him how sore his Conscience was tormented and how for that cause he had secretly consulted with his ghostly Father and divers other men by whom he was not yet satisfied therefore he said upon special confidence which he had in his great learning he had now made choic● of him to use his advise above all others requiring him to declare his opinion therein freely whereby he might be sufficiently instructed in his conscience and remaine no longer in suspence The Bishop hearing all this ●ell suddenl● upon his knees and in that posture would have delivered his minde unto him but the King immediately lifted him up with his own ●ands and blamed him for so doing where upon he spake as followeth I beseech your Grace to be of good cheer not to disquiet your self one whit concerning this matter nor to be dismayed or troubled at this businesse for there is no heed to be taken of these men who account themselves so wife and do arrogate to themselves more knowledge and learning in

To my honoured Kinsman Mr. Iohn Questall Merchant in Antwerp SIR THere are but three reasons inducing an Author to dedicate his Book to any one man rather than to another The first is the patronage of his Work under the shelter of some o're-spreading tree whose armes may happily receive the suppliant under his protection and defend it from the stormes of persecution The second is a willingnesse in the Author to expresse a Gratitude by Dedication by reason of some former Courtesies received And the third is a fitnesse in the person to whom he dedicates his book whereby his dedication may become suitable to such a Patronage The first I never affected as never believing that the estimation of any Patron could be o● sufficient authority to dignifie the patronage if it had not that within it selfe to make it acceptable according to that expression of the Father of the English Poets v●z I never knew that a Generalls Oration could make an Army either stand or fall but look how much habituall valour each man hath in himself so much in act it shews The Second I alwaies loved viz. to be gratefull to my friends and where such love and gratitude cannot otherwise goe or stand upon their owne legs on any ground they shall both creep on paper wherefore most worthy Cousin having received so great a benefit at your hands beyond the Seas as in my low condition not onely at once to relieve the Father in his necessity but also to adde so bountifull a hand in the bringing up of that child which by you● speciall charity is now able to live of it selfe to you onely do I dedicate this book as an acknowledgement of all your loving kindnesses Nor is the dedication of the History of this renowned Bishop and Cardinall elect to your selfe altogether improper for you being a Merchant your selfe he being a Merchants Son whereby it may appeare that men of your profession do not altogether bring home together with your Gold from Ophir Apes and Peacocks feathers but sometimes Iewels of Divine verity and highest estimation Thus with my prayers to God for you and your continuance in his Grace and Favour till you reach his Glory I take leave to rest Your most faithfull Servant and poore Kinsman T.

The great good deeds which she performed by his perswasion AT the time when as the Starres of Heaven frowned upon the Nation to behold Innocence swaying the Scepter of this Land so misbecomingly in the seven and thirtieth year of the Reign of the most Noble though unfortunate King Henry the sixt and in the year one thousand 〈◊〉 hundred fifty and nine after the time that a Virgin Daughter had produced her Father and a Creature her Creator when the blessed Vine sprang from the same Grape it bare and the root of Iesse shot from the Spring the Divine Providence brought forth under succour whose after growth made it soon known unto the world how worthily he received the two Names which both his Christendome and his Parents had bestowed upon him within the Collegi●t Church and town of Beverly scituate within the Province of York about eight score miles distant Northwards from the head City of the Nation viz. of Iohn and FISHER of Iohn being so like unto Iohn the Baptist who was twice baptized First with Water Secondly with Blood as by the first he was named Iohn so by the second he deserved to be stiled Iohn the Baptist having so fitly sympathized with the fore-runner of his Saviour by his following Christ that as like unto the others head became both Fountaine and their senselesse Trunkes streamers of Blood whiles the Spectators eyes became Rivers of W●●●● The first his Head was beg'd of King Herod at a banquet of Wine by a Psaltresse or woman dancer by the like light paire of heels the second Iohn of whom we treat his head was beg'd of King Henry whilst he was banquetting and making merry at his house of Hanworth The first was beheaded on the Birth day of King Herod the second was beheaded on the Birth day of King Henry having that very day compleated the just age of five and forty yeares And as the Holy finger of Saint Iohn the Baptist which pointed to the Lambe when he said Ecce Agnus Dei was miraculously preserved from corruption for a long space of time after his martyrdome so the head of this most blessed martyr wherewith he so de●cended and that so manfully the holy Catholick Church and Head of his Mother was by the like miracle preserved from corruption a long time after it was stuck up upon the Bridge of London with a fresh and lively colour untill such time as by commandement from the King it was taken downe and conveyed away from the sight of Men.
