8 Item, howbeit that the said cardinall hath diuerse times lent you
great summes of monie, since the time of your reigne, yet his loane
hath béene so deferred and delaied, that for the most part, the
conuenable season of the imploieng of the good lent was passed. So that
litle fruit or none came thereof, as by experience both your realmes
haue sufficientlie in knowledge.
9 Item, where there was iewels and plate prised at eleuen thousand
pounds in weight, of the said cardinall, forfeited to you my right
redoubted lord, he gat him a restorement thereof for a loane of a
little parcell of the same: and so defrauded you wholie of them, to
your great hurt, and his auaile, the which good might greatlie haue
eased your highnesse, in sparing as much of the poore commons.
10 Item, the cardinall being feoft of my said lord your father (whome
God assoile) against his intent, gaue Elizabeth Beauchampe, thrée
hundred markes liuelihood, where that his will was, that and she were
wedded within a yeare, then to haue it, or else not, where in déed it
was two or thrée years after, to your great hurt, and diminishing of
your inheritance.
11 Item, notwithstanding that the said cardinall hath no maner of
authoritie nor interest in the crowne, nor none maie haue by anie
possibilitie; yet he presumeth and taketh vpon him in partie, your
estate roiall, in calling before him, into great abusion of all your
land, and derogation of your highnesse, which hath not béene séene nor
vsed in no daies heretofore, in greater estate than he is, without your
expresse ordinance and commandement.
12 Item, the said cardinall, nothing considering the necessitie of you
my right doubted lord, hath sued a pardon of dismes, that he should
paie for the church of Winchester, for terme of his life, giuing
thereby occasion to all other lords spirituall, to draw their good will
for anie necessitie, to grant anie disme: and so to laie all the charge
vpon the temporaltie, and the poore people.
