after the King had taken this strong Towne and taken possession thereof set all things in good order for the defence and preservation thereof to his Majesties use then hee retyred from thence and marched towards Turney and there layd siege in like manner to which he gave so fierce assault that the Enemies were constrained to render the Towne to his Majestie At which time the King gave unto the Almoner the Bishopricke of the same Sea towards his paines and diligence susteined in that journey And when he had established all things according to his princely minde and pleasure and furnished the same with men and Captaines of Warre for the safegard of the Towne hee prepared for his returne to England But now you shall understand by the way that whilst the King was absent with a great power in France the Scottish King invaded England against whom the Queene sent a great Army the Earle of Surrey being generall where he overthrew the Scots at Blamston called Hoddenfield where the King of Scots was slaine with divers of his Nobility and eighteene thousand men and they tooke all his munition for warre By this time the King returned into England and tooke with him divers Noble personages of France being prisoners As the Duke of Longuido Viscount Clerimond with divers others that were taken in a skirmish And thus God gave him victory at home and victory abroad being in the fift yeere of his raigne Anno Dom. one thousand five hundred and thirteene CHAP.

VI Of his second Embassage to the Emperour Charles the Fifth A After he was thus furnished in manner as I have before rehearsed unto you Hee was sent twice on Embassage to the Emperour Charles the Fifth that now raigneth and Father to King Philip now our Lord and Soveraigne Forasmuch as the old Emperour Maximillian was dead and for divers other urgent occasions touching his Majestie It was thought fit that about such weightie matters and to so noble a Prince the Cardinall was most meete to be sent on this Embassage and he being one ready to take the charge thereof upon him was furnished in every respect most like a great Prince which was much to the honour of his Majestie and of this Realme For first he proceeded forth like to a Cardinall having all things correspondent his Gentlemen being very many in number were clothed in livery Coats of Crimson Velvet of the best and chaines of gold about their necks And his yeomen and all his meane officers were clad in fine Scarlet guarded with blacke Velvet one hand breadth Thus furnished he was twice sent in this manner to the Emperour in Flanders then lying at Bridges whom he did most nobly entertaine discharging all his owne charges and his mens There was no house in the Towne of Bridges wherein any of my Lords Gentlemen were lodged or had recourse but that the owners of the houses were commanded by the Emperours Officers upon the paine of their lives to take no money for any thing that the Cardinals men did take of any kind of victuals No although they were disposed to make costly Banquets further commanding their said hoasts that they should want nothing which they honestly required or desired to have Also the Emperours Officers every night went through the Towne from house to house where any Englishmen had recourse or lodged and served their Livery for all night which was done on this manner First the Officers brought into the house a Casteele of fine Manchet then two silver pots of Wine and a pound of Sugar white lights and yellow lights a Bowle of silver and a Goblet to drinke in and every night a staffe Torch This was their order of their Livery every night And then in the morning when the Officers came to fetch away their stuffe they would accompt for the Gentlemens costs the day before Thus the Emperour entertained the Cardinall and his traine during the time of his Embassie And that done he returned into England with great Triumph being no lesse in estimation with the King then he was before but rather much more for he encreased daily in the Kings favour by reason of wits and readinesse to doe the King pleasure in all things In the one and twentieth yeare of King Henry the Eighths raine Anno Dom. 1529. This Emperour Charles the Fifth came into England who was nobly entertained CHAP. VII Of the manner of his going to Westminster Hall NOw must I declare the manner of his going to Westminster Hall in the Terme time First when he came out of his privie Chamber hee most commonly heard two Masses in his Chappell or Chamber And I heard one of his Chaplaines say since that was a man of credit and excellent learning that what businesse soever the Cardinall had in the day time that hee never went to bed with any part of his service unsaid no not so much as one Collect in which I thinke he deceived many a man then going into his Chamber againe hee demanded of some of his servants if they were in readinesse and had furnished his chamber of Presence and wayting Chamber he being then advertised came out of his Privie Chamber about eight of the clocke readie apparelled and in Red like a Cardinall his upper vesture was all of Scarlet or else of fine Crimson Taffata or crimson Sattin ingraned his Pillion Scarlet with a blacke Velvet tippet of Sables about his

hee would secretly repaire out of this Realme Insomuch that they caused a Post to ride after the Cardinall to search him who overtooke him at Callis and stayed him untill search was made but there was found no more then was received of the King for a reward Now after Cardinall Campaine was gone Michaellmas terme drew on against which time my Lord Cardinall repaired to his house at Westminster and when the Terme began hee went into the Hall in such manner as he was acustomed to doe and sate in the Chancery being then Lord Chancellor of England after which day he never sate more the next day hee stayed at home for the comming of my Lord of Norfolk and Suffolke who came not that day but the next And did declare unto my Lord that it was the Kings pleasure he should surrender up the great Seale of England into their hands and that he should depart unto Ashur which is a house near unto Hampton Court belonging unto the Bishopricke of Winchester The Cardinall demanded of them to see their Commission that gave them such authority who answered again they were sufficient Commissioners and had Authority to doe no lesse from the Kings owne mouth notwithstanding he would in no wise agree to their demand in that behalfe without further knowledge of their Authority telling them that the great Seale was delivered to him by the Kings owne person to enjoy the Ministration thereof together with the Chancellorship during the term of his life whereof for surety he had the Kings Letters Patents to shew which matter was much debated between him and the Dukes with many great words which he tooke patiently insomuch that the Dukes were faine to depart without their purpose at that time and returned to Windsor to the King and the next day they returned to my Lord with the Kings Letters whereupon in obedience to the Kings command my Lord delivered to them the broad Seale which they brought to Windsor to the King Then my Lord called his Officers before him and tooke account of all things they had in their charge and in his Gallery were set divers Tables upon which were layed divers and great store of rich stuffes as whole pieces of silke of all colours Velvets Sattins Muskes Taffaties Grogarams Scarlets and divers rich Commodities Also there were 1000. pieces of fine Hollands and the hangings of the Gallery with cloath of Gold and cloath of Silver and rich cloath of Bodkin of divers colours which were hanged in expectation of the Kings comming Also of one side of the Gallery were hanged the rich suits of Copes of his owne providing which were made for Colledges at Oxford and Ipswich they were the richest that ever I saw in all my life Then had he two chambers adjoyning to the Gallery the one most commonly called the guilt Chamber the other the Councell Chamber wherein were set two broad and long Tables whereupon was set such abundance of Plate of all sorts as was almost incredible to be believed a great part being al of clean gold and upon every table and cupboard where the Plate was set were bookes importing every kinde of plate and every piece with the contents and the weight thereof Thus were all things furnished and prepared giving the charge of the said stuffe with other things remayning in every office to be delivered to the King as he gave charge all things beeing ordered as is before rehearsed my Lord prepared to depart and resolved to goe by water but before his going Sir William Gascoigne beeing his Treasurer came unto him and said Sir quoth he I am sorry for your Grace for I heare you are straight to goe to the Tower Is this the best comfort quoth my Lord you can give to your master in adversity It hath alwaies beene your inclination to bee light of credit and much lighter in reporting of lyes I would you should know Sir William and all those reporters too that it is untrue for I never deserved to come there Although it hath pleased the King to take my house ready furnished for his pleasure at this time I would all the world should know I have nothing but it is of right for him and of him I received all that I have It is therefore convenient and reason to tender the same to him againe Then my Lord with his traine of Gentlemen and yeomen which was no small company took his barge at his privie stairs and went by water to Putney at which time upon the water were abundance of boates filled with people expecting to have seene my Lord Cardinall goe to the Tower which they longed to see Oh wondring and new-fangled world is it not a time to consider the mutability of this uncertaine world for the common people ever desire things for novelties sake which after turne to their small profit or advantage For if you mark the sequell they had small cause to rejoyce at his fall I cannot see but all men in favour are envyed by the common people though they doe minister Iustice truly Thus continued my Lord at Ashur 3. or 4. weekes without either Beds sheets Table-cloaths or dishes to eate their meate in or wherewith to buy any But there was good store of all kind of victualls of beere and wine plenty but afterwards my Lord borrowed some Plate and dishes of the Bishop of Carlile Thus continued my Lord in this strange estate till after Alhollantide and beeing one day at dinner Mr. Crumwell told him that he ought in Conscience to consider the true and good service that he and other of his servants had done him who never forsooke him in weale nor woe then quoth my Lord alas Tom you know I have nothing to give you nor them which makes me both ashamed and sorry that I have nothing to requite your faithfull services whereupon Master Cromwell told my Lord that he had abundance of Chaplaines that were preferred by his Grace to Benefices of some 1000. pound and others 500 pound some more and some lesse and wee your poore servants who take more paines in one dayes service then all your idle Chaplains have done in a yeare and therefore if they will not impart liberally to you in your great indigence it is pitty they should live and all the world will have them in iudignation for their great ingratitude to their Master Afterwards my Lord commanded me to call all his Gentlemen and Yeomen up into the great Chamber commanding all the Gentlemen to stand on the right hand and the Yeomen on the left side at last my Lord came out in his Rochet upon a Violet gowne like a Bishop who went with his Chaplins to the upper end of the Chamber where was a great windowe beholding his goodly number of servants who could not speake to them untill the tears ran downe his checks which beeing perceived of his servants caused fountaines of teares to gush out of their sorrowfull eyes in such

the Court Gate upon Alholland-day towards my Lord of Northumberland Now will I declare what I promised before of a certaine signe or token of my Lords trouble ensuing Upon All-hallow-day my Lord sitting at dinner having at his Boards end divers of his Chaplaines to beare him Company for want of other Guests you shall now understand that my Lords great Crosse which stood by fell and in the fall broke Doctor Bonners head inasmuch that some blood ran downe My Lord perceiving the fall thereof demaunded of those that stood by him what was the matter that they stood so amazed I shewed him of the fall of his great crosse upon Dr. Bonners head Quoth my Lord hath it drawne any blood yea quoth I with that he cast his head aside and soberly said Malum Omen and thereupon suddenly said grace and rose from table and went to his Bed-chamber but what he did there I cannot tell Now marke how my Lord expounded the meaning thereof in his fancie to meat Pontefract after his fall First that the great Crosse that he bare as Archbishop of Yorke betokened himselfe and Doctor Austin the Physitian who overthrew the Crosse was hee that accused my Lord whereby his enemies caught an occasion to overthrowe him it fell on Doctor Bonners head who was then master of my Lords faculties and spirituall jurisdiction who was then dampnified by the fall thereof and moreover the drawing of blood betokeueth death which did suddenly after follow Now the appointed time drew neere for Installation and sitting at dinner the friday before the monday that he should have been installed at Yorke The Earle of Northumberland and M. Welsh with a great company of Gent of the Earls house and of the Country whom they had gathered in the Kings name to accompany them yet not knowing to what end came to the hall of Caywood the Officers being at dinner and my Lord not fullie dined nor knowing any thing of the Earles being come The first thing that the Earle did after hee had set the hall in order he commanded the Porter to deliver the keyes of the gates to him which he would in no wise doe although he was threatned and commanded in the Kings name to make deliverance thereof to one of the Earles servants which he still refused saying to the Earle that the keyes were delivered to him by his Lord and master both by oath and other command Now some of the Gent. that stood by the Earle hearing the porter speake so stoutly said hee is a good fellow and a faithfull servant to his master and speaks like an honest man therefore give him your charge and let him keep the keyes still then said my L. thou shalt wel and truly keep the keys to the use of our Soveraigne Lord the King and you shall let none passe in nor out of the Gates but such as from time to time you shal be commanded by us being the Kings Commissioners during our stay here and with that oath he received the keyes of the Earle and Master Welches hands but of all these doings knew my Lord nothing for they had stopped the stayers that none should goe to my L. chamber and they that came down could not goe up againe At the length one escaped up and shewed my Lord that the Earle of Northumberland was in the hall whereat my Lord wondred and at the first believed him not till he heard it confirmed by another Then quoth my Lord I am sorry wee have dined for I feare our Officers have not provided fish enough for the entertainment of him with some honourable cheere fitting his estate and Dignity And with that my Lord arose from the Table and commanded to let the cloath lye that the Earle might see how far forth they were at their dinners and as he was going downe stayres he encountred with my Lord of Northumberland to whom my Lord said you are heartily welcome my Lord and so they embraced each other Then quoth my Lord Cardinal if you had loved mee you would have sent me word before of your comming that I might have entertained you according to your honour Notwithstanding you shal have such cheer as I can make you for the present with a right good will trusting you will accept thereof in good part hoping hereafter to see you oftner when I shal be more able to entertain you this said my Lord tooke him by the hand and led him to his Chamber whom followed all the Earls servants and they being there all alone saving I which kept the doore as my Office required being Gentleman-vsher these two Lords standing at a window the Earle trembling said I arrest you of high Treason with which words my Lord was well nigh astonished standing still a good space without speaking one word But at the last quoth my Lord what authority have you to arrest mee quoth the Earle I have a Commission so to doe shew it me quoth my Lord that I may see the contents therof nay Sir that you may not quoth the Earle Then quoth my Lord hold you contented for I will not obey your arrest for there hath been between your Ancestors and my Predecessors great contentions and debate and therefore unlesse I see your authority I will not obey you Even as they were debating the matter in the Chamber so likewise was Master Welsh busie in arresting Dr. Austine at the door saying go in thou Traytor or I shall make thee with that I opened the Portal dore and did thrust in Doctor Austine before him with violence The matter on both sides astonished me very much marveyling what all this should meane untill at the last Master Welsh being entered my Lord Chamber began to pluck of his hood being of the same cloath his cloake was which hood he wore to the intent hee should not be known who kneeled down to my Lord to whom my Lord said come hither Gentleman and let me speake with you commanding him to stand up and said thus My Lord of Northumberland hath arrested mee but by what authority I know not if you be privie thereunto joyned with him therein I pray you shew me Indeed my Lord if it please your Grace quoth Master Welsh I pray have me excused there is annexed to our Commission certain instructions as you may not see nor be privie too why quoth my Lord be your Instructions such as I may not see nor be privie thereunto yet paradventure if I be privie unto them I may helpe you the better to performe them for it is not unknown to you that I have been of Counsell in as weity matters as these are and I doubt not but I shall doe well enough for my part prove my selfe a true man against the expectations of my cruel enemies I see the matter whereupon it groweth well there is no more to doe I trowe you art of the Privie Chamber your name is Mr. Welsh I am contented to yeeld to

you but not to the Earle without I see his Commission and also you are a sufficient Commissioner in this behalf being one of the privie Chamber Therefore put your Commission in execution spare me not I will obey you and the King for I feare not the crueltie of mine enemies no more then I doe the truth of my Allegiance wherein I take God to witnesse I never offended his Majesty in word or deede and therein I dare stand face to face with any having a difference without partiality Then came my Lord of Northumberland and commanded mee to avoide the Chamber And being loath to depart from my Master I stood still and would not remove to whom he spake againe and said there is no remedie you must depart with that I looked upon my Master as who would have said shall I goe and perceiving by his countenance that it was not for me to stay I departed and went into an other chamber where were many Gentlemen and others to heare newes to whom I made a report of what I heard and saw which was great heauinesse to them all Then the Earle called into his Chamber diuers of his owne servants and after he and Master Welsh had taken the keyes from my Lord hee committed the keeping of my Lord unto five Gentlemen and then they went about the house and put all things in order intending to depart the next day and to certifie the King and the rest of the Lords what they had done Then went they busie about to Convey Doctor Austine away to London with as much speede and privacy as they could possible sending with him divers persons to conduct him who was bound to his horse like a Traytor And this being done when it was neere night the Commissioners sending two Groomes of my Lords to attend him in his Chamber where hee lay all night the rest of the Earles men watched in the Chamber and all the house was watched and the gates safe kept that no man could passe or repasse untill next morning About eight of the clocke next morning the Earle sent for me into his Chamber and commaunded mee to goe to my Lord and as I was going I met with Master Welsh who called me unto him and shewed me how the Kings Majesty bare unto me his principall favour for my love and diligent Service that I had performed to my Lord wherefore quoth hee the Kings pleasure is that you shal be about him as chiefe in whom his Highnesse putteth great confidence and trust and thereupon gave mee in Writing the Articles Which when I had read I sayd I was content to obey his Majesties pleasure and would bee sworne to the performance thereof whereupon hee gave mee my Oath That done I resorted to my Lord whom I found sitting in a Chaire the Table being ready spread for him But so soone as hee perceived me come in he fell into such a wofull lamentation that would have forced a flinty-heart to mourne I then comforted him aswell as I could but hee would not for quoth hee I am much grieved that I have nothing to reward you and the rest of my true and faithfull Servants for all the good Service that they and you have done mee for which I doe much lament Upon Sunday following the Earle and Master Welsh appoynted to set forward for my Lords Horse and ours were brought ready into the inner Court where we mounted and comming towards the Gate ready to ride out the Porter had no sooner opened the same but we saw without ready attending a great number of Gentlemen and their Servants such as the Earle had appointed for that Service to attend and Conduct my Lord to Pomfrait that night But to tell you the Truth there were also many of the people of the Country assembled at the Gate lamenting his departure in number above three Thousand who after the opening of the Gate that they had a sight of him cryed out with a loud voyce God save your Grace God save your Grace the foule Evil take them that have taken you from us wee pray God that vengeance may light upon them And thus they ran after him through the Towne of Caywood for he was there very well beloved both of rich and poore CHAP. 20. Of the Cardinals entertainment at the Earle of Shrewsburies and of his death and buriall at Leicester AFter our departure from Cawood we came to Doncaster the third day wee came to Sheffield-parke where my Lord of Shrewsbury lived within the lodge and the Earle and his Lady and a great company of Gentlewomen and Servants stood without the Gate to attend my Lords comming at whose alightning the Earle received him with much honour and imbraced him saying these words My Lord you are most heartily welcome to my poore lodge and I am glad to see you Here my Lord stayed a fortnight and was most nobly entertayned he spent most of his time and applyed his minde to prayers continually in great devotion It came to passe as hee sate one day at dinner I beeing there perceived his colour divers times to change I asked him if hee was not well who answered me with a loud voyce I am suddenly taken with a Thing at my stomacke as cold as a Whet-stone and am not well Therefore take up the Table and make a short dinner and returne to mee againe suddainly I made but a little stay but came to him agayne where I found him still sitting very ill at ease Hee desired me to goe to the Apothecarie and aske him if hee had any thing would breake Winde upwards Hee told me hee had Then I went and shewed the same to my Lord who did command mee to give him some thereof and so I did and it made him breake winde exceedingly Loe quoth he you may see it was but winde for now I thanke God I am well eased and so he arose from the Table and went to praiers as hee used every day after dinner In the afternoon my Lord of Shrewsbury sent for mee to him to whom he said forasmuch as I have always perceived you to be a man in whom your Lord putteth great affiance and I my selfe knowing you to bee a man very honest with many words of commendations and praise more then becommeth mee to rehearse he said your Lord and Master hath often desired me to write unto the King that he might answere his accusations before his enemies And this day I have received Letters from his Majestie by Sir William Kingston whereby I perceive that the King hath him in good opinion and upon my request hath sent for him by the said Sr. William Kingston Therfore now I would have you play your part wisely with him in such sort as he may take it quietly and in good part for he is alwaies full of sorrow and much heavinesse at my being with him that I fear he would take it ill if I bring him tidings thereof And therein doth hee not
