did his utmost endeavors to get the Emperor to Insist upon the security of Abby-lands when he was sent with Edward (n) Duditiu● vita Poli p. 26. Lord Hastings Master of the Horse about September 1554. to fetch Cardinal Pool as well as he had done formerly in his Negotiations with the Emperor with whom joyned William Earl of Pembrook the Lord Russel and Sir William Peters and many others equally concerned in Abby-lands When this Marriage was once agreed upon the unfortunate Courtney was soon forbid the Court to colour which his pretentions to the Lady Elizabeth and his Confederacy with Wyat were alledged The advantage the Emperor proposed to himself by the Marriage of Prince Philip to Queen Mary and how this contributed to the confirming of Abby-lands to the Possessors The Emperor having entertained the thoughts of this Marriage as of greatest advantage to him by joyning the great Kingdoms of England and Ireland to his House whereby he might not only be assisted with Naval and Land Forces against France but greatly assist his Netherlands by the Vicinity of England studyed all the ways he could to render the Match more acceptable to the English and by the composing Mens minds there and gaining a firm security that all might enjoy their Abby-lands prevent all occasions of Rebellion and the easilyer effect the Pope's and all Roman Catholics desires to have the Kingdom of England Reconciled to the Church of Rome He rightly apprehending that if those Lands were secured there would be no great difficulty to bring the Body of the Kingdom to return again to the Bosom of the Church he havin● had large experience in his affairs of Germany what obstructions the matter of Church-lands occasioned By all this it is manifest to all unprejudiced persons how much it was the Interest of the Emperor King Philip the Queen and all her Subjects to get those Lands sufficiently secured that the Reconciliation might the easilyer be effected And it is the most improbable thing in the World that the Interessed persons would omit the due care to have them so secured as they might neither be in danger of a Resumption from the Church or State. The Pope wrought upon by the Emperor to enlarge the Powers of Cardinal Pool As to the Popes encreasing the Powers given to Cardinal Pool pian piano step by step the Reason of it is very evident since it might be rationally expected that it was for obtaining the great end of the Reconciliation that the Indulgences and Dispensations of of the Pope were granted and it could not be foreseen at Rome nor in the Emperors Court nor even in England at first how much would satisfie and that seems to me the evident Reason why the Emperor kept the Cardinal so long from passing to England till all things were adjusted at Rome and all satisfaction given in England in this as well as the Marriage These things appear even by the Confession of the (o) Pa. 13. Author of the Letter to Dr. Burnet for he owns that it appears by the Breve the 10th of July 1554. that the Pope in consideration of the Prince of Spains being Married to the Queen of England enlargeth Pools Powers an account of which the Cardinal sent to the Bishop of Arras by Ormanet (p) P. 16. And Duditus vita Poli pa. 23. who was not Secretary as this Writer saith but Auditor to the Cardinal for Anthony Floribellus was his Secretary The Bishop of Arras Writ to the Cardinal the 3d. of August following that the Emperor would send to England to know the State of affairs there which he thought must be done first before the Legat could go over Also in the Letter from the Cardinal (q) Pa. 15. to the Pope Dated from Bruf sels October 13th 1554. he gives his Holiness an account that he had told the Emperor that tho' as to matters of Faith the Pope would slacken nothing How far the Pope granted to yield nor shew any manner of Indulgence yet in the matter of the Church-lands in which the Pope was more at liberty he was resolved to be gentle and Indulgent And as to all the pains and censures that the Possessors had incurred and the Rents that they had enjoyed which were points of great Importance he was resolved to use all sort of Indulgence towards them and to forgive all nor had he any design of applying any part of their Goods either to himself or to the Apostolic See of which some were affraid and such regard the Pope had to the King and Queen of England (r) Pa. 16. that he was resolved to grant upon their Intercession whatsoever should be thought convenient to such persons as they should think worth gratifying or were capable to assist in the design of setling the Religion Yet it appears The cautious proceedings of the Emperor in proposing difficulties that this did not fully satisfie the Emperor who as our Author saith Answered with new delays and owned that since the Goods were Dedicated to God it was not fit to grant every thing to those that held them and therefore tho' the Cardinal had told him how far his Power extended yet it was not fit that it should be generally known The Emperor (ſ) Pa. 17. further gave him to understand that regard must be had to the ill dispositions of the parties concerned since the Aversion that the English Nation had to the very name of Obedience to the Church or to a Red Hat or a Religious Habit was so Universal that his Son had been advised to make the Friers that came over from Spain with him to change their Habits But tho' he had done it yet the danger of Tumults deserved to be well considered It is worth considering how disengenuous an Inference The disengenuous reflections made upon the Emperors difficulties the Author of the Letter makes from this that the Cardinal intended only to grant a general discharge to all the Possessors of the Abby-lands for what was past but resolved to give no grants of them for the future Note the Queen did Interceed for all except only to such as should Merit it and for whom the Queen should interceed and whose Zeal in the matter of Religion might deserve such a favor and that the Emperor intended no more and that he thought this should be kept as a great secret when as he well knew that the Powers given to the Cardinal were of great extent and that he fully executed them as I shall make it appear when I Treat of the Breves themselves and of the Dispensation of the Cardinal pursuant to them Having thus stated the matter of Fact I shall proceed to Answer the Objection more particularly which you insist upon First therefore Objecti ∣ on Objection that only moveable Goods were granted upon condition to restore the Lands as to what Dr. Burnet saith that the Cardinal in the Absolution put
