greate parte of Vrgile Dundalke taken and brent they brente Churches and Abbeyes with the people whome they founde in the same sparing neyther manne woman nor childe Then was the Lord Edmonde Butler chosen Lorde Iustice Edmonde Butler Lord iustice who made the Earle of Vlster and y e Giraldines friends and reconciled himselfe with Sir Iohn Mandeuill thus seeking to preserue the residue of the

Scottes were withdrawen backe the Erle of Vlster followed them and fighting with them at Coyners hee lost the fielde Thus may wee see that those Lordes and Knightes whiche had giuen pledges for theyr loyaltie to the King of Englande sought by all wayes and meanes howe to beate backe the enimies whiche they mighte haue done with more ease if the Irish had not assisted the Scottes and presuming of

at that present when the truce was graunted than for any true meaning to accomplishe that which was promised that is to witte to agree vnto some vnfeyned and perfect conclusion of peace The king herevpon doubting their old pranks ordeyned the Earle of Northumberland Henrie Percie the v. of that name Warden of the whole Marches which thankfully receyued the honor thereof so he departed But whatsoeuer matter it was that moued him shortly after he began to make suite to the king and ceased not til he was of that office discharged 1523 and then the Earle of Surrey Lorde Admirall of England was made general Warden and the Lord Marques Dorset was made Warden of the East and middle marches and the Lord Dacres of the west marches The Earle of Northumberlande was for this refusall of exercising the office of L. warden greatly blamed of his owne tenants and accouÌ„ted of all men to be voyde of the loue and desire that Noblemen ought to haue to honor and chiualrie The L.

The Parliament being begonne as ye haue hearde the Cardinall the xxix daye of Aprill came into the Common hâ—…e and there shewing the great charges that the king necessarilye was at and dayly must be at in maintenaunce of his warres against the French and Scottes A great subsidie demanded by the Cardinall in the coÌ„mon house demaunded the summe of eyght hundreth thousande pounde to be raised of the fift part of euery mans goodes and landes that is to wit iiij 〈◊〉 of euery pounde This demaunde was enforced on the morowe after by Sir Thomas More then Speaker of the Parliament but he spake not so much in persuading the house to graunt it but other spake as earnestlye against it so that the matter was argued to and â—…o and handled to the vttermost There were that proued howe it was not possible to haue it leuied in money Hard holde about the 〈◊〉 of the great subsidie for men of landes and great substance had not the v. part of the same in coyne and fythe the king by the loaue had receyued two shillings of the pounde which by this rate amounted to foure hundred thousand pound and now to haue iiij shillings of the pounde it woulde amount in the whole vnto twelue hundreth thousande pounde which is first and last vj. shillings of the pound being almost a third part of euery mans goods whiche in coyne might not be had within this Realme for the proofe whereof was alledged that if there were in England but twentie thousand parishes and euery parishe should giue an C. marks that were but xv C.M. marks which is but a C.M. poundes and there be not verye many parishes in Englande one with another There are not 10000. parishes in EnglaÌ„d as Stowe hath truly noted able to spare an hundreth markes out of cities and townes where it is written that in Englande there be xl M. parishe Churches it was prooued that there were not xiij M. at this day Harde holde there was about this demaunde and certaine wyse and discrete persons were sent to the Cardinall The obstinate answere of the Cardinall to the motion of the common house in the parliament to moue him to be a meane to the king that a lesse summe might be accepted but he aunswered that he woulde rather haue his tongue plucked out of his heade with a payre of pynsons than to moue the king to take any lesse summe and so with that answere they departed reporting to the house the Cardinalles wordes Then euery daye was reasoning but nothing concluded Wherevpon the Cardinall came agayne into the lower house and desired that hee might reason with them that were against the demaunde but he was answered that the order of that house was to beare and not to reason except among themselues Then he began to shew arguments of the great wealth of the Realme so
