a more happy time perhaps you might have seen me with less Horror In a more happy time repli'd the Marchioness with looks which expressed more of sorrow then wrath I should certainly have found the most sensible of all Pleasures to have seen the faithful and genourous Piercy but I ought to have nothing but horror for a man who after his dearness to me is become unconstant perfidious and in one word the Son-in-Law to the Earl of Shrewsbury You have taught me to change answerd Piercy dolefully but unfortunately for me my condition is only changed my heart is altogether the same it was You are Married she added can you say that I have given you Examples of levity I whom neither King Father Favourite nor Fortune herself could be ever able to shake nay even since you have betray'd me And have not you said Piercy repaid the King those Dignities he hath shower'd on your whole Family with that same heart you stole from me No unjust Piercy said she I have not done what you say I have loved you with too wuch perseverance and if I ought to be reproached with any thing it i● that I have writ you a Letter full of tenderness which you would no● vouchsafe to answer Have not you received my Answer cry'd he I am betray'd Madam I am too courteous not to acknowledge the Honour yo● did me I have watched a thousand times to see you since but you did not appear the King has been continually in your company has overwhelmed you with his favours and all th● world spoke of his good fortune your Father has confirm'd it and despair has precipitated me into this state I am in at present I see said the Marchioness we owe all our miseries to the Artifices of Woolsey and without reproaching your weakness I shall be content to comfort my self with that Liberty I have preserved I merit much greater evils then those I have and I well see that time has destin'd me enough of them But as for you Madam said Piercy put an end to those which may menace you forget an ungrateful man who ought not to give you a moments trouble and no longer refuse that glory the King offers you Marry him if he can make you Queen you shall have in me a most unfortunate Subject who will retain for you Sentiments of Respect and adoration to the last minute of his life and who shall find comfort in any condition when he shall see you in a state worthy of your self I conjure you to this continued he in prostrating himself at her feet if a truly sincere penitence can merit any thing of you She interupted him shedding some Tears Go Piercy and let it suffice you to have caused me the chief of all evils do not solicit me to render it yet greater You have been more dear to me than fortune and you are still too much let us put a period to this conversation which afflicts us and can give us no other Subject but that of repentance conserve your self for those persons to whom you stand obliged and endeavour to forget me for your own quiet sake At these words the Marchioness parted from him and he had not force enough to detain her she never apear'd more beautiful to him and he never found himself more amorous He continued some time after upon the place he murmured against his Father detested Woolsey accused the Earl of Ormond made a thousand reproaches to himself and returned to his house full of grief and reluctancy This discourse of Anne Bullen and Piercy gave them knowledge of their misfortunes and incensed them against the Cardinal The Popes sickness which hapned at this time made him neglect the divorce and labour secretly to be elected by all the powerful intrigues he had at Rome The King perceived something and pressed the two Cardinals earnestly to determine this famous affair because they had full power to do it But the Pope recovering this sickness recals Campejus without giveing him leasure to satisfie the King The King notwithstanding resolves to appear in Court with the Queen before the Judges nothing was more smart and touching then what the Queen pleaded in her defence she implored justice of the King and went out of Court in despair and made her appeal from the Cardinals to the Pope The King accus'd Woolsey of his delay and that he had betray'd him secretly but the Cardinal moderated his Indignation by his Rhetorick who nevertheless looked upon him as a man of little Sincerity Cardinal Campejus departed from London and the King who knew the Pope and the Emperour were reconciled feared his Designs Queen Katherine being Aunt to the Emperour who interessed himself strongly in her Cause Woolsey's slackness whilst he was in prospect of being elected Pope caused much disquiet to the King who ordered Campejus to be stopt at the Sea side under pretence of searching his Goods but in effect it was to see if there could be found amongst them any Writings concerning these Affairs His departure raised the Queens hopes but gave fear to those that were interessed for the Marchioness of Pembrook Blunt was not dissatisfied with these delays knowing the Kings present Inclinations And Anne Bullen was joyful thereat in hopes to be revenged of Woolsey which followed soon after The King had murmured against him with high Displeasure every one perceived his favour was nip'd and the Enemies his haughtiness had rais'd him now observ'd no measures the people cryed out upon his Injustice the Lords of his pride the Queen of the sorrows he had caused her Blunt that he had made her to lose the Kings heart and the Marchioness of Pembroke that he had occasioned the loss of her repose The Queen proved that he designed to betray the King keeping secret intelligences with the Pope and the Emperour it was made clearly to appear that he oppressed the Nation by his vanity which he supported by tyrannizing over the people Anne Bullen was too much incensed against him not to second the multitude and vindictive Blunt acted with no less resentments He was then accused and arraigned according to the usual forms of Justice yet he continued to sit as Chancellour hoping by his presence to disperse this storm but the King was acquainted that a person accused as a criminal ought not to officiate the most important charge of the Kingdom Who sent the Dukes of Norfolk and Suffolk to him to demand the great Seal from him which he refused fiercely telling them his Majesty had honoured him with the Office of Chancellor for his life but the King wrote to him on the morrow to send it him and to quit London He obey'd the order of his Prince returned the Seal and immediately went to Asher a very fair House that he built after he had given Hampton Court to the King commanding his Steward to deliver up to the King or his Orders all his moveables which were the richest that ever any
