doubt how to quiet him to the counsell who was then departed in a great fury Now here was sending here was comming here was intreating and here was great submission and intercession made unto him to reduce him to his former communication who would in no wayes relent untill Madame Regent came to him her selfe who handled the matter so well that shee brought him to his former communication and by that meanes hee brought all things to passe that before hee could not compasse which was more out of feare then affection the French King had to the matter in hand for now hee had got the heades of all the Councell under his girdle The next morning early after this conflict the Cardinall arose about 4. of the clock and sate him downe to write Letters into England unto the King commanding one of his Chaplaines to prepare him ready Insomuch that the Chaplaine stood ready in his Vestures untill foure of the clocke in the afternoone All which season my Lord never rose to eate any meate but continually writ Letters with his owne hand And about foure of the clocke in the afternoone he made an end of writing commanding one Christopher Gunner the Kings Serjeant to prepare himselfe without delay to ride Post into England with his Letters whom he dispatcht away ere ever he dranke That done he went to Masse and Mattins and other devotions with his Chaplaine as he was accustomed to doe and then went to walke in a Garden the space of an houre and more and then said Evening song and so went to dinner and supper making no long stay and so went to bed The next night following my Lord caused a great supper to be made or rather a Banquet for Madam Regent and the Queene of Navarre and other Noble Personages Lords and Ladies At which supper was Madam Lewis one of the Daughters of Lewis the last King whose sister lately dyed these two Sisters were of their Mother Inheritours of the Dutchie of Brittaine And forasmuch as King Francis had married one of the Sisters by which he had one Moytie of the said Dutchie hee kept the said Madam Lewis the other Sister without Mariage to the intent the whole Dutchie might descend to him or his successours after his death for lacke of issue of her But now let us returne to the Supper or Banquet where all those noble personages were highly feasted And at the middest of the said Banquet the French King and the King of Navarre came suddenly in who tooke their places in the lowest part thereof There was not onely plenty of fine meates but also much mirth and solace aswell in merry communication as also the noyse of my Lords Musique who played there all that night so cunningly that the two Kings tooke great delight therein insomuch that the French King desired my Lord to lend them unto him for the next night And after the Supper or Banquet ended the Lords fell to dancing amongst whom one Madam Fountaine had the praise And thus passed they the most part of the night ere they parted The next day the King tooke my Lords Musicke and rode to a Noblemans house where was some living Image to whom he had vowed a nights pilgrimage And to performe his devotion when he came there which was in the night he danced and caused others to doe the same and the next morning he returned to Campanie The King being at Campanie gave order that a wild Bore should be lodged for him in the Forrest whether my Lord Cardinall went with him to see him hunt the wild Bore where the Lady Regent with a number of Ladies and Damsels were standing in Chariots looking upon the toyle amongst these Ladyes stood my Lord Cardinall to regard the hunting in the Lady Regents Chariot And within the Toyle was the King with divers Ladyes of France ready furnished for the high and dangerous enterprize of hunting of this perilous wilde Swine The King being in his Doublet and Hose all of sheepes colour cloth richly trimmed in his slippe a brace of very great Gray-hounds who were armed as their manner there is to defend them from the violence of the Beasts tuskes And the rest of the Kings Gentlemen that were appointed to hunt were likewise in their Doublets and Hose holding each of them a very sharpe Bores speare Then the King commanded the Keepers to uncouch the Boare And that every person within the Toyle should goe to a standing among whom were divers Gentlemen of England The Boare presently issued out of his denne and being pursued by a hound came into the plaine where he stayed a while gazing upon the people and the hound drawing neere him he espied a Bush upon a Banke under the bush lay two Frenchmen who fled thither thinking there to be safe But the Bore smelling them and thrusting his head into the Bush these two men came away from thence as men use to fly from the danger of death Then was the Boare by violence of the Hunters driven from thence who ' ran straite to one of my Lords Footmen being a very tall man who had in his hand an English Javelin with which he defended himselfe a great while But the Bore continued foaming at him with his great Tuskes at the last the Boare broke in sunder his Javelin so that he was glad to draw his sword and therewith stood upon his guard untill the Hunters came and rescued him and put the Boare once againe to flight to an other Gentleman of England one Master Ratcliffe who was sonne and heire to the Lord Fitzwalter now Earle of Sussex who by his Boares speare rescued himselfe There were many other passages but I forbeare prolixitie and returne to the matter in hand Many dayes were spent in consultation and expectation of Christopher Gunners returne who was formerly sent post into England with Letters as I said before At last he returned with Letters upon receipt whereof my Lord prepared with all expedition to returne to England That mourning that my Lord intended to remove being at Masse in his Closet he Consecrated the Chancellour of France a Cardinall and put his Hat on his head and his cap of Scarlet and then tooke his journey and returned into England with all the expedition hee could and came to Sayne and was there nobly entertained of my Lord Stanes who was captaine of that place and from thence went to Callis where he stayed a while for shipping of his goods And in the meane time hee established a worke to be there kept for all Nations But how long or in what sort it continued I know not For I never heard of any great good it did or of any Assembly of Merchants or traffique of Merchandize that were brought thither for so great and mighty a matter as was intended for the good of the Towne This being established he tooke shipping for Dover and from thence rode post to
King and kneeled downe at his feete saying these words in broken English as followeth viz. Sir quoth shee I beseech you doe mee Iustice and right and take some pitty upon mee for I am a poore woman and a stranger borne out of your Dominions having here no indifferent Counsell and lesse assurance of friendship alas Sir how have I offended you what offence have I given you intending to abridge me of life in this sort I take God to witnes I have been to you a true and loyall wife ever conformable to your will and Pleasure never did I contrary or gainsay your minde but alwayes submitted my selfe in all things wherein you had any delight or dalliance whether it were little or much without grudging or any signe of discontent I have loved for your sake all men whom you have loved whether I had cause or not were they friends or foes I have beene your wife this twenty yeares by whom you had many Children And when I first came to your Bed I take God to witnesse I was a Virgin whether it were true or no I put it to your Conscience if there bee any cause that you can alleadge either of dishonesty or of any other matter lawfull to put mee from you I am willing to depart with shame and rebuke but if there bee none then I pray you let me have Iustice at your hands The King your Father was a man of such an excellent wit in his time that he was accounted a second Salomon and the King of Spaine my father Ferdinand was taken for one of the wisest Kings that raigned in Spaine these many yeares So they were both wise men and noble Princes and it is no question but they had wise Counsellours of eyther Realme as be now at this day who thought at the marriage of you and me to heare what new devises are now invented against me to cause me to stand to the order of this Court And I conceive you doe mee much wrong may you condemne me for not answering having no Councell but such as you have assigned me You must consider that they cannot be indifferent on my part being your owne Subjects and such as you have made choyce of out off your owne Councell whereunto they are privy and dare not disclose your pleasure Therefore I most humbly beseech you to spare me untill I know how my friends in Spaine will advise me But if you will not then let your pleasure be done And with that she rose making a low Curtesie to the King and departed from thence all the people thinking she would have returned againe to her former Seate but she went presently out of the Court leaning upon the arme of one of her Servants who was her generall receiver one Mr. Griffith The King seeing that we was ready to goe out of the Court commaunded the Cryer to call her againe by these words Katherine Queene of England come into the Court Loe quoth M. Griffith you are called again Goe on quoth she it is no matter It is no indifferent Court for me therefore I will not tarry goe on your way and so they departed without any further answer at that time or any appearance in any other Court after that The King seeing she was departed thus and considering her words sayd to the Audience these few words in effect Forasmuch quoth hee as the Queene is gone I wil in her absence declare unto you all shee hath beene to me a true obedient wife and as comfortable as I could wish or desire shee hath all the virtues and good qualities that belong to a woman of her Dignity or in any of meaner estate her conditions will well declare the same Then quoth my Lord Cardinal I humbly beseech your Highnesse to declare unto this Audience whether I have been the first and chiefe moover of this matter unto your Highnesse or no for I am much suspected of all men My Lord Cardinall quoth the King you have rather advised me to the contrary then been any mover of the same The speciall cause that moved me in this matter is a certaine scruple that pricked my conscience upon certaine words spoken by the Bishop of Bayon the French Ambassadour who came hither to consult of a Marriage between the Princesse our daughter the Lady Mary and the Duke of Orleans second Sonne to the King of Fraunce and upon resolution and determination hee desired respite to advertise the King his Master thereof whether our daughter Mary should be legitimate in respect of my marriage with this woman beeing sometimes my Brothers wife which words I pondering begot such a scruple in my conscience that I was much troubled at it whereby I thought my selfe in danger of Gods heavie displeasure and indignation and the rather because he sent us no issue Male for all the issue Male that I have had by my wife dyed incontinently after they came into the world which caused me to feare Gods displeasure in the particular Thus my conscience being tossed in that waves of troublesome doubts and partly in despaire to have any other issue then I had already by this Lady my now wife It behooved mee to consider the estate of this Realme and the danger it stands in for lack of a Prince to succeed mee I thought it therefore good in release of this mighty burthen on my Conscience as also for the quiet estate of this Realme to attempt a tryall in the Law herein Whether I might lawfully take another wife without staine of carnal concupiscence by which God may send more issue in case this my first copulation was not good I not having any displeasure in the person or age of the Queen with whom I could bee well contented to continue if our Marriage may stand with the Law of God as with any woman alive in which point consisteth all the doubt that wee goe about now to know by the Learned wisedome of you our Prelates and Pastors of this Realm and Dominion now here assembled for that purpose to whose Consciences and learning I have committed the care and Judgement according to which I will God willing bee well contented to submit my selfe and obey the same And when my Conscience was so troubled I moved it to you my Lord of Lincolne in confession then beeing my Ghostly Father And forasmuch as you were then in some doubt you moved me to aske Counsell of the rest of the Bishops whereupon I moved it to you my Lord Cardinall to have your licence forasmuch as you are Metropolitan to put this matter in question and so I did to all you my Lords to which you all granted under your Seales which is heere to shew that is truth quoth the Bishop of Canterbury and I doubt not but my Brothers will acknowledge the same No Sir not so under correction quoth the Bishop of Rochester for you have not my hand and Seale no quoth the King is
