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. IIII. The Kings promoting his Almoner being made Cardinall and Lord Chancellor of England THe King being returned into England the Sea of Lincolne became voyd by the death of Doctor Smith late Bishop there which Bishopricke the King gave to the Almoner Elect of Turney who was not negligent to take possession thereof but made all speed for his Consecration the solemnization thereof being ended hee found a way to get into his hands all his predecessors goods whereof I have seene divers parts that furnished his house It was not long after but Doctor Bambrige Archbishop of Yorke dyed at Rohan in France being there the Kings Ambassadour unto which Sea the King presented the last new Bishop of Lincolne so that he had three Bishopricks in his hands at one time all in one yeare given him Then prepared he againe for his translation from the Sea of Lincolne to that of Yorke as he did before to his Installation After which Solemnization done and being then Archbishop and Primus Angliae thought himselfe sufficient to compare with that of Canterbury and did thereupon advance his Crosses in the Courts and every other place aswell in the Precinct and Iurisdiction of Canterbury as any other place And forasmuch as Canterbury claimeth a superioritie over Yorke aswell as over any other Bishopricke within England and for that cause claimeth an acknowledgement as in ancient obedience of Yorke to abate advancement of his Crosses to the Crosses of Canterbury Notwithstanding Yorke not desisting to beare the same although Canterburie gave Yorke a cheeke for the same and told him it was presumption by reason whereof there ingendered some grudge betweene them But shortly after he obtained to be made Cardinall and Legatus de Literis unto whom the Pope sent the Cardinalls Cap and certaine Bulls for his authority in that behalfe whereupon he was Installed at Westminster in great Triumph which was executed by all bishops with their Mitres Cappes and other ornaments And after all this he was made Chancellour of England and Canterbury who was the Chancellour was dismissed Now he being in the Chancelourship and endowed with the promotions of Archbishop and Cardinall de Litera thought himselfe so fully furnished that he was now able to surmount Canterbury in all Iurisdictions And in all Ecclesiastical powers to Convocate Canterbury and all other Bishops spiritual persons to assemble at his Convocations where he would assigne and take upon him the conversion of all Ministers and others within their Iurisdictions and visited all the spirituall houses in their Diocesse and all manner of spirituall Ministers as Commissioners Scribes Apparators and all other necessarie Officers to furnish his Courts and did convent by convention whom he pleased through this Realme and Dominion and all other persons to the glory of his Dignitie Then had he two great Crosses of silver whereof one was of his Archbishopricke and the other of his Legasie borne before him wheresoever he rode or went by two of the tallest Priests that he could get in this Realme And to the increase of his gaine he had in his hand the Bishopricke of Durham and S. Albons in Commendum Also when Doctor Fox Bishop of Winchester dyed he did surrender Durham to the King and took himselfe to Winchester He had also as it were in Farme the Bishopricks of Bath Worcester and Hereford for the Incumbents of them were strangers Hee had also attending upon him men of great possessions and the tallest Yeomen for his guard in the Realme CHAP. V. Of the Orders and Offices of his house and Chappell ANd first for his House you shall understand that he had in his Hall three Boards kept with three severall Officers that is to say a Steward that was alwayes a Priest a Treasurer that was ever a Knight and a Controller that was an Esquire Also a Confessor a Doctor Three Marshalls three Vshers in the Hall besides two Almoners and Groomes Then had he in the hall-kitchin two Clarkes a Clarke Comptroller and a Surveyor over the Dresser A Clarke in the Spycerie which kept continually a Messe together in the Hall Also he had in the Hall-kitchin two Cookes and labourers and children twelve persons Foure men of the Scullery two yeomen of the Pastry with two other Past-layers under the yeomen Then had he in his Kitchin a master Cooke who went daily in Velvet or Satin with a gold chaine besides two other Cookes and six Labourers in the same Roome In the Larder one Yeoman and a Groome In the Scullery one Yeoman and two Groomes In the Buttery two yeomen and two groomes In the Ewry so many In the Sellar three Yeomen three Pages In the Chandery two yeomen In the Wayfary two yeomen In the Wardrop of Beds the Master of the Wardrop and twenty persons besides in the Laundery a yeoman and a groome and thirteene Pages two yeomen Purveyours and a groome Purveyor In the Bakehouse two yeomen and groomes In the Woodyard one yeoman and a groome In the Barne one yeoman Porters at the Gate two Yeomen and two Groomes A Yeoman in his Barge and a Master of his Horse a Clarke of the Stables and a Yeoman of the same a Farrier and a yeoman of the Stirrop a Maltlour and sixteene Groomes every one of them keeping foure Geldings Now will I declare unto you the Officers of his Chappell and singing men of the same First hee had there a Deane a great Divine and a man

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

is ten pounds is not it so quoth the King Yea forsooth and if it please your Grace quoth I. And withall said the King you shall receive a reward the Duke of Norfolke So I received tenne pounds of the Duke for my wages and twenty pounds for my reward and his Majestie gave me a Cart and six horses the best that I could chose out of my Lords horses to carry my goods and five marks for my charge homewards FINIS He was Batchelour of Arts at 15. years of Age He was naturally eloquent King

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
