Lord his name was Iohn Iokin who was kept as secretly as might be no man having intelligence of his arrivall For hee was no French man borne but an Italian a man of no great estimation in France nor knowne to bee much in his Masters favour but taken to be a Merchant And for his subtile wit was elected to treate of such an Embassage as the French King had given him in Commission This Iokin was secretly conveyed to Richmond and there stayed untill such time as the Cardinall resorted thither to him where after Easter terme was ended he kept his feast of Whitsontide very solemnely In which season my Lord Cardinall caused this Iokin divers times to dine with him who seemed to bee both witty and of good behaviour he continued long in England after this till at the last as it should seeme hee had brought the matter which he had in Commission to passe Whereupon the King sent out immediatly a restraint unto Sir Iohn Russell that he should retaine that moneth pay still in his hands untill the Kings pleasure should bee further made knowne which should have beene paid to the Duke being then encamped within the Towne of Pavia For want of which money the Duke and his men were much dismayed when they saw no money come as it was wont to doe and being in this dangerous case where victuals began to be scant and very deare they imagined many wayes what should be the reason that the Kings money came not some said this and some said that mistrusting nothing lesse then the true cause thereof CHAP. XII Of the Duke of Burbons Stratagem and Victorie wherein the French King was taken prisoner NOw the Duke and his Souldiers were in great miserie for want of Victuals and other necessaries which they could by no meanes get within the Towne Hereupon the Captaines and Souldiers began to grudge and murmure being for want of Victuals all like to perish and being in this extremitie came before the Duke and said Sir we must of force and necessitie yeeld to our enemies And better were it for us so to doe then to starve like dogges But when the Duke heard this he replied with weeping teares Sirs quoth he you have proued your selves valiant men and of noble hearts in this service and for your necessitie whereof I my selfe doe participate I do not a little lament But I shall desire you as you are noble in heart and courage so to take patience for two or three dayes and if succour come not then from the King of England as I doubt nothing lesse I will then consent to you all to put our selves and lives unto the mercy of our Enemies whereunto they all agreed and tarried till two dayes were past expecting reliefe from the King Then the Duke seeing no remedy called his noble Captaines and Souldiers before him and weeping said You Noblemen and Captaines we must yeeld our selves unto our Enemies or else famish and to yeeld the Towne and our selves I know well the crueltie of our Enemies as for my part I passe not for their cruelties for I shall suffer death I know very well most cruelly if I come once into their hands It is not therefore for my selfe that I doe lament it is for your sakes it is for your lives and for the safegard of your persons for so that you might escape your enemies hands I would willingly suffer death good Companions and noble Souldiers I doe require you all considering the miserable calamities and dangers we are in at this present to sell our lives most dearely rather then to be murdered like beasts Therefore if you all consent with me we will take upon us this night to give our Enemies assault and by that meanes we may either escape or else give them an overthrow for it were better to dye in the field like men then to live prisoners miserably in captivity to which they all agreed Then quoth the Duke you all perceive the enemies Campe is strong and there is no way to enter upon them but one and that entrie is planted with great Ordnance and strength of men so that it is impossible to attaine to our enemies that way to fight with them in their Campe And also now of late you perceive they have had but small doubt of us in regard they have kept but slender Watch Therefore mine advise is there shall issue out of the Towne in the dead time of the night from us a certaine number of you that bee the most likely to assault the Campe and they shall give the assault secretly against the place of the entry which is most strong and invincible which force and valiant assault shall bee to them of the Campe so doubtfull that they will turne the strength of the entry that lyeth ouer against your assault to beate you from your purpose Then will I enter out at the Posterne gate and come to the place of their strength newly turned and there ere they be aware will I enter and fight with them in the Campe and win their Ordnance which they have newly turned and beat them with their owne peeces and then may you come and joyne with me in the field So this devise pleased them all wonderfull wel they did then prepare themselves al that day for that devise and kept themselves secret and close without any noyse or shot of peeces in the Towne which gave the enemie the lesse feare of the assault for at night they went all to their Tents and couched quietly nothing mistrusting what after happened So in the dead of the night when they all were at rest the assailents issued out of the Towne and there according to the Dukes appointment they gave so cruell and fierce an assault that they in the Campe had much adoe to withstand them And then as the Duke before declared they within were compelled to turne the shot that lay at the entry against the assault Then issued out the Duke and with him about fifteene or sixteene hundred men or more secretly in the night The enemy being ignorant of his comming untill he entred the Field and at his entry he tooke all the Ordnance that lay there and slew the Gunners then charged the Peeces against the enemies and slew them wonderfully and cut downe their Tents and Pavillions and murthered many therein ere they were aware of his comming suspecting nothing lesse then his entry so that hee wonne the field ere the King could arise So the King was taken in his lodging before he was harnessed And when the Duke had won the field the French King taken and his men slaine his Tents robbed and spoiled and the Kings coffers searcht The Duke of Burbon found the league under the great Seale of England newly made betweene the King of England and the French King whereby hee perceived the impediment of his money which should have come to him from the King having upon due

you quoth he here is but little room in this House for the King and therefore I humbly beseech your Grace accept of mine for a Season My Lord thanking him for his curtesie went to his Chamber where hee shifted his riding apparrell In the meane time came divers Noblemen of his friends to welcome him to the Court by whom my Lord was advertised of all things touching the Kings favour or displeasure and being thus informed of the Cause thereof hee was more able to excuse himselfe So my Lord made him ready and went to the Chamber of Presence with the other Cardinall where the Lords of the Councell stood all of a Row in order in the Chamber and all the Lords saluted them both And there were present many Gentlemen which came on purpose to observe the meeting and countenance of the King to my Lord Cardinall Then immediatly after the King came into the Chamber of Presence standing under the Cloath of State Then my Lord Cardinall tooke Cardinall Campaine by the hand and kneeled downe before the King but what hee sayd unto him I know not but his Countenance was amiable and his Majesty stooped downe and with both his hands tooke him up and then tooke him by the hand and went to the Window with him and there talked with him a good while Then to have beheld the Countenance of the Lords and Noblemen that had layd Wagers it would have made you smile especially those that had layd their money that the King would not speake with him Thus were they deceived for the King was in earnest discourse with him insomuch that I could heare the King say how can this be is not this your hand and pulled a Letter out of his owne bosome and shewed the same to my Lord And as I perceived my Lord so answered the same that the King had no more to say but sayd to my Lord goe to your Dinner and take my Lord Cardinall to keepe you company and after Dinner I will speake further with you and so they departed And the King that day dined with Mistris Anne Bulloign in her Chamber Then was there set up in the Presence Chamber a Table for my Lord and other Lords of the Councell where they dined together and sitting at Dinner telling of divers matters The King should doe well quoth my Lord Cardinall to send his Bishops and Chaplaines home to their Cures and Benefices Yea marry quoth my Lord of Norfolke and so it were meete for you to doe also I would be very well contented therewith quoth my Lord if it were the Kings pleasure to lycence mee with his Graces leave to goe to my Cure at Winchester Nay quoth my Lord of Norfolke to your Benefice at Yorke where your greatest Honour and Charge is Even as it shall please the King quoth my Lord Cardinall and so they fell upon other Discourses For indeed the Nobility were loath hee should be so neere the King as to continue at Winchester Immediately after Dinner they fell to Councell till the Waiters had also dined I heard it reported by those that waited on the King at dinner that Mistres Anne Bulloigne was offended as much as she durst that the King did so graciously entertaine my Lord Cardinall Saying Sir Is it not a marvailous thing to see into what great debt and danger hee hath brought you with all your Subjects How so quoth the King Forsooth quoth shee there is not a man in all your whole Realme of England worth a hundred pounds but hee hath indebted you to him meaning of Loane which the King had of his Subjects Well well quoth the King for that matter there was no blame in him for I know that matter better then you or any else Nay quoth shee besides that what exploits hath hee wrought in severall parts and places of this Realme to your great slaunder and disgrace There is never a Nobleman but if hee had done halfe so much as hee hath done were well worthy to loose his head Yea if my Lord of Norfolke my Lord of Suffolke my Father or any other man had done much lesse then hee hath done they should have lost their heads ere this Then I perceive quoth the King you are none of my Lord Cardinals friends Why Sir quoth shee I have no cause nor any that love you No more hath your Grace if you did well consider his indirect and unlawfull doings By that time the Waiters had dyned and tooke up the Table and so for that time ended their Communication You may perceive by this how the old malice was not forgotten but begins to kindle and be set on fire which was stirred by his auncient enemies whom I have formerly named in this treatise The King for that time departed from Mistris Anne Bulloigne and came to the Chamber of Presence and called for my Lord and in the great window had a long discourse with hin but of what I know not afterwards the King tooke him by the hand and led him into the privie Chamber and sate in Consultation with him all alone without any other of the Lords till it was darke night which blanked all his enemies very soer who had no other way but by Mistris Anne Bulloigne in whom was all their trust and affiance for the accomplishment of their enterprises for without her they feared all their purposes would bee frustrate Now at night was warning given me that there was no roome for my Lord to lodge in the Court so that I was forced to provide my Lord a lodging in the Countrey about Easton at one Mr. Empstons house where my Lord came to supper by torch-light beeing late before my Lord parted from the King who willed him to resort to him in the morning for that he would talke further with him about the same matter and in the morning my Lord came againe at whose comming the Kings Majesty was ready to ride willing my Lord to consult with the Lords in his absence and said he would not talke with him commanding my Lord to depart with Cardinall Campaine who had already taken his leave of the King This suddaine departure of the Kings was the especiall labour of Mistris Anne Bulloigne who rode with him purposely to draw him away because he should not returne till the departure of the Cardinalls The King rode that morning to viewe a peice of ground to make a Parke of which was afterwards and is at this time called Harewell Parke where Mistris Anne had provided him a place to dine in fearing his returne before my Lord Cardinals departure So my Lord rode away after dinner with Cardinall Campaine who tooke his jorney towards Rome with the Kings reward but what it was I am not certaine After their departure it was told the King that Cardinall Campaine was departed and had great Treasure with him of my Lord Cardinalls of England to bee conveyed in great sums to Rome whither they surmised

favour with the King OH Lord what a great God art thou that workest thy wonders so secretly that they are not perceived untill they bee brought to passe and finished Attend now good Reader to this story following and note every circumstance and thou shalt at the end perceive a wonderfull worke of God against such as forget him and his benefits Therefore I say consider after this my Lord Percyes troublesome businesse was over and all things brought to an end Then Mistris Anne Bullen was againe admitted to the Court where she flourished in great estimation and favour having alwayes a prime grudge against my Lord Cardinall for breaking the Contract betweene the Lord Peircy and her selfe supposing it had beene his owne devise and no others And she at last knowing the Kings pleasure and the depth of his secrets then began to looke very haughtily and stout lacking no manner of rich apparell or Jewels that money could purchase It was therefore imagined by many through the Court that she being in such favour might doe much with the King and obtaine any suit of him for her friends All this while she being in this estimation in all places there was no doubt but good Queene Katherine having this Gentlewoman daily attending upon her both heard by report and saw with her eyes how all things tended against her good Ladiship although she seemed neither to Mistris Anne Bullen nor the King to carry any sparke of discontent or displeasure but accepted all things in good part and with great wisdome and much patience dissembled the same having Mistris Anne Bullen in more estimation for the Kings sake then when she was with her before declaring her selfe indeed to be a very patient Grissell as by her long patience in all her troubles shall hereafter most plainly appeare For the King was now so enamoured of this young Gentlewoman that he knew not how sufficiently to advance her This being perceived by all the great Lords of the Court who bore a secret grudge against my Lord Cardinall for that they could not rule in the Kingdome as they would for him because he was Dominus fac totum with the King and rul'd aswell the great Lords as the meane subjects whereat they tooke an occasion to worke him out of the Kings favour and consequently themselves into more estimation And after long and secret consultation with themselves how to bring this matter to passe They knew very well that it was somewhat difficult for them to doe absolutely of themselves Wherefore they perceiving the great affection and love the King bare to Mistris Anne Bullen supposing in their judgements that she would be a fit Instrument to bring their earnest intentions to passe therefore they often consulted with her to that purpose and she having both a very good wit and also an inward grudge and displeasure against my Lord Cardinall was ever as ready to accomplish their desires as they were themselves wherefore there was no more to doe but onely to imagine an occasion to worke their malice by some pretended circumstances Then did they daily invent divers devises how to effect their purpose but the enterprise thereof was so dangerous that though they would faine have attempted the matter with the King yet durst they not for they knew the great zeale the King did beare unto the Cardinall and this they knew very well that if the matter they should propound against him was not grounded upon a just and urgent cause the Kings love was such towards him and his wit such withall that hee could with his policie vanquish all their enterprises and then after that requite them in the like nature to their utter ruine Therefore they were compelled to forbeare their plots till they might have some better ground to worke upon And now the Cardinall perceiving the great zeale the King bore to this Gentlewoman framed himselfe to please her as well as the King To that end therefore hee prepares great Banquets and Feasts to entertaine the King and her at his owne house Shee all this while dissembling the secret grudge in her breast Now the Cardinall began to grow into wonderfull inuentions not heard of before in England and the love betweene this glorious Lady and the King grew to such perfection that divers things were imagined whereof I forbeare here to speake untill I come to the proper place CHAP. XI Of the Variance betweene the French King and the Duke of Burbon who fled to the Citie of Pavia where the King besieged him THen began a certaine grudge betweene the French King and the Duke of Burbon to breake out Insomuch that the Duke being now at variance with the house of France was compelled for safeguard of his life to flye and forsake his Countrie fearing the Kings malice and indignation The Cardinall having intelligence hereof contrived that the King our Soveraigne Lord should obtaine the Duke to be his Generall in his warres against the French King with whom our King had then an occasion of warre and the rather because the Duke of Burbon was fled to the Emperour to invite him unto a like purpose where he moved the King in this matter And after the King was advised thereof and conceived the Cardinals invention he mused more and more of this matter untill it came into a Consultation amongst the Councell so that it was concluded that an Ambassadour should be sent to the Emperour about this matter And it was further concluded that the King and the Emperour should joyne in those wars against the French King and that the Duke of Burbon should be the King of Englands Champion and Generall in the field who had a number of good souldiers over and besides the Emperours Army which was not small and that the King should pay the Duke monethly wages for himselfe and his retinue For which purpose Iohn Russell who was afterwards Created Earle of Bedford lay continually beyond the Seas in a secret place both to receive money from the King and to pay the same monthly to the Duke so that the Duke began the warres with the French King in his owne Territories and Dukedome which the King had gotten into his owne hands being not perfectly knowne to the Dukes enemies that he had any aide from our Soveraigne Lord and thus hee wrought the French King much displeasure in asmuch that the French King was constrained to prepare a present Army and in his owne person to resist the Dukes power And battell being joyned the King drove him to take Pavia a strong Towne in Italie with his hoast of men for his securitie where the King encamped himselfe wonderfully strong intending to close the Duke within the Towne lest hee should issue out and skirmish with him The French King in his Campe sent secretly into England a private person being a very witty man to treat of a Peace between his Master and our Soveraigne

sort as would cause my heart to relent At last my Lord spake to them to this effect and purpose saying most faithfull Gentlemen and true-hearted Yeomen I much lament that in my prosperity I did not so much for you as I might have done and was in my power to doe I consider that if in my prosperity I should have preferred you to the King then should I have incurred the Kings Servants displeasure who would not spare to report behinde my back that there could no office in the Court escape the Cardinall and his servants and by that meanes I should have run into open slander of all the world but now it is come to passe that it hath pleased the King to take all that I have into his hands so that I have now nothing to give you for I have nothing left me but the bare cloaths on my back with many other words in their phrase and so he giving them all hearty thanks went away and afterwards many of his servants departed from him some to their wives some to their friends Master Cromwell to London it beeing then the beginning of the Parliament CHAP. 18. The Cardinall is accused of high Treason in the Parliament House against which accusation Mr. Cromwell late servant to him being a Burgesse in the Parliament made defence THe aforesaid Master Cromwell after his departure from my Lord devised with himselfe to bee one of the Burgesses of the Parliament And being at London hee chanced to meete one Sir Thomas Russell Knight a speciall friend of his whose son was one of the Burgesses of the Parliament of whom by meanes he obteyned his roome and so put his feete into the Parliament house and 3. dayes after his depature from my Lord hee came againe to Ashur and I beeing there with my Lord he said unto mee with a pleasant Countenance I have adventured my feet where I will bee better regarded ere the Parliament be dissolved And after hee had some talke with my Lord he made haste to London because he would not bee absent from the Parliament to the intent he might acquaint my Lord what was there objected against him thereby the better to make his defence insomuch that there was nothing at any time objected against my Lord but hee was readie to make answere thereunto by meanes whereof he beeing earnest in his Masters behalfe was reputed the most faithfull servant to his Master of all other and was generally of all men highly commended Then was there brought a Bill of Articles into the Parliament house to have my Lord condempned of high Treason against which Bill Master Cromwell did inveigh so discreetly and with such witty perswasions that the same would take no effect Then were his enemies constrained to indite him of a Premunire al was to intitle the King to all his goods and possessions which hee had obteyned and purchased for the maintenance of his Colledges of Oxford and Ipswich which were both most sumptuous buildings To the Judges that were sent to take my Lords answere here in hee thus answered My Lords Judges quoth hee the King knoweth whether I have offended or no in using my Preogative for the which I am indicted I have the Kings licence in my Coffer to shew under his hand and broad Seale for the executing and using thereof in most large manner the which now are in the hands of mine enemies but because I wil not here stand to contend with his Majesty in his owne case I will here presently before you confesse the Indictment and put my selfe wholy to the mercy and grace of the King trusting that he hath a conscience and reason to consider the truth and my humble submission and obedience wherein I might wel stand to my triall with Justice Thus much may you say to his Highnesse that I wholie submit my selfe under his obedience in all things to his Princely will and pleasure whom I never disobeyed or repugned but was alwaies contented and glad to please him before God whom I ought most chiefly to have believed and obeyed which I now repent I most heartily desire you to have me commended to him for whom I shall during my life pray to God to send him much prosperitie honour and victory over his enemies And so they left him After which Mr. Shelley the Judge was sent to speak with my Lord who understanding he was come issued out of his privie Chamber and came to him to know his businesse who after due salutation did declare unto him that the Kings pleasure was to demand my Lords house called Yorke-place neare Westminster belonging to the Bishopricke of Yorke And that you doe passe the same according to the Lawes of this Realme his Highnesse hath sent for all his Iudges and learned Counsell to know their opinions for your assurance thereof who bee fully resolved that your grace must make a Recognizance and before a Iudge acknowledge and confesse the right thereof to belong to the King and his Successors and so his Highnesse shall bee assured thereof Wherefore it hath pleased the King to send mee hither to take of you the Recognizance having in your Grace such affiance that you will not refuse to doe so therefore I doe desire to know your Graces pleasure therein Master Shelley quoth my Lord I know the King of his owne nature is of a Royall spirit not requiring more then reason shall leade him to by the Lawe And therefore I counsell you and all other Iudges and learned men of his Counsell to put no more into his head then Law that may stand with Conscience for when you tell him that although this bee Lawe yet it is not Conscience for Law without conscience is not fit to bee ministred by a King nor his Counsell nor by any of his Ministers for every Counsell to a King ought to have respect to Conscience before the rigour of the Law Laus est facere quod decet non quod licet The King ought for his Royall dignitie and prerogative to mitigate the rigour of the Lawe and therefore in his Princely place hee hath constituted a Chancellour to order for him the same and therefore the Court of Chauncery hath beene commonly called the Court of Conscience for that it hath jurisdiction to command the Law in every case to desist from the rigour of the execution And now I say to you Master Shelley have I a power or may I with Conscience give that away which is now mine for mee and my Successors if this bee Law and Conscience I pray you shew me your opinion Forsooth quoth hee there is no great conscience in it but having regard to the Kings great power it may the better stand with Conscience who is sufficient to rcompence the Church of Yorke with the double value That I know well quoth my Lord but there is no such condition but onely a bare and simple departure of others

be one of the Privie Counsell as by your wisedome you are fit take heede what you put in the Kings head for you can never put it out againe And I desire you further to request his Grace in Gods name that he have a vigilant eye to suppresse the hellish Luthrans that they increas not through his great negligence in such a sort as he be compelled to take up Armes to subdue them as the King of Bohemia was whose Commons being infected with Wickliffs heresies the King was inforced to take that course Let him consider the Story of King Richard the Second the second sonne of his Progenitor who lived in the time of Wickliffs Seditions and heresies Did not the Commons I pray you in his time rise against the Nobilitie and chiefe governours of this Realme and at the last some of them were put to death without Justice or mercie and under pretence of having all things common did they not fall to spoyling and robbing and at last tooke the Kings person and carried him about the Citie making him obedient to their proclamations Did not also the Trayterous Heretiques Sir Iohn Old-Castle Lord Cobham pitch a field with Heretiques against King Henry the fourth where the King was in person and fought against them to whom God gave the victory Alas if these be not plaine presidents and sufficient perswasions to admonish a Prince Then God wil take away from us our prudent Rulers leave us to the hands of our enemies And then will ensue mischiefe upon mischiefe Inconveniences Barrennesse and scarcitie for want of good Orders in the Common-wealth from which God of his tender mercy defend us Master Kingston farewell I wish all things may have good successe my time drawes on I may not tarry with you I pray you remember my words Now began the time to draw neere for hee drew his speech at length and his tongue began to faile him his eyes perfectly set in his head his sight failed him Then wee began to put him in minde of Christs passion and caused the Yeoman of the Guard to stand by privately to see him dye and beare witnesse of his words and his departure who heard all his communications And then presentlie the clocke strooke eight at which time he gave up the Ghost and thus departed he this life one of us looking upon an other supposing he prophesied of his departure We sent for the Abbot of the house to annoint him who speedily came as hee was ending his life who said certaine praiers before that the life was out of his bodie Here is the end and fall of pride for I assure you he was in his time the proudest man alive having more regard to the honour of his Person then to his spirituall function wherein he should have expressed more meekenesse and humility For Pride and Ambition are both linked together and Ambition is like Choller which is an humor that makes men active earnest and full of alacrity stirring if it bee not stopped or hindred in its course But if it be stopped and cannot have its way it becommeth dust and thereby maligne and venemous So Ambitions and proud men if they find the way open for their rising and advancement and still get forwards they are rather busie then dangerous But if they bee checked in their desires they become secretly discontent and look upon men and matters with an evill eye and are best pleased when things goe backewards but I forbeare to speake any further herein The Cardinall beeing departed Master Kingston sent post to London one of the Guard then was Master Kingston and the Abbot in consultation about the Funerall which was solempnized the day after for Master Kingston would not stay the returne of the Post They thought good that the Major of Leicester and his Brethren should see him personally dead to prevent false reports that hee was alive And in the Interim whilst the Major was sent for his Bones were laid in the Coffin and his shirt of haire and his over shirt of fine holland were taken off and were put into the Coffin together with all such ornaments wherewith he was invested when hee was made Archbishop as Miter Crosse Ring and Pall with all other things due to his orders Thus hee lay all that day with his Coffin opon and bare faced that all that desired might see him And about 3. of the Clock he was buried of the Abbot with great solemnity And being in the Church his corpes were set in the Ladies Chappel with many Tapers or poor men about him holding Torches in their hands who watched the Corps all that night whilst the Canons sung divers dirges and other divine Orisons And at 4. of the Clock the next morning the Cardinalls servants and Master Kingston came to the Church to the execution of many Ceremonies in such manner as is usuall to Bishops burialls And so he went to Masse where the Abbot did offer and divers others And then went to burie the Corpes in the middle of the said Chappell by this time it was fire of the Clocke being St. An●●●●s day Then we prepared for our journey to the Court where wee attended his Majestie the next day I was sent for to the King conducted by Master Norris where the King was in his night gowne of Rochet velvet furred with sables before whom I kneeled the space of an houre during which time his Majestie examined me of divers particulars concerning my Lord Cardinall wishing rather then twenty thousand pounds that he had lived He asked me concerning the fifteen hundred pounds which Master Kingston moved to my Lord Quoth I I thinke I can perfectly tell your Grace where it is and who hath it can you quoth the K. I pray you tell mee and you shall not bee unrewarded Sir quoth I after the departure of Master Vincent from my Lord at Ser●oby who had the custody thereof leaving it with my L. in divers baggs he delivered it to a certaine Priest safelie to bee kept to his use is this true quoth the King yea quoth I without doubt the Priest will not denie it before mee for I was at the deliverie thereof who hath gotten divers other rich Ornaments which are not Registred in the book of my Lords inventorie or other writings whereby any man is able to charghim there with but my selfe Then said the King let me alone for keeping this secret between me and you Howbeit three may keepe Counsell if two be away And if I knew my Cap were privie to my Counsell I would cast it into the fire and burne it And for your honesty and Truth you shall bee our servant in our Chamber as you were with your Master Therefore goe you your wayes to Sir Iohn Gage our Vice-Chamberlain to whom wee have spoken alreadie to admit you our servant in our Chamber and then goe to the Lord of Norfolke and hee shall pay you your whole yeares wages which
