Cresacre More in his _Life of More_ (ed. 1828, p. 17) states the same thing more fully, and gives the remark of the Cardinal more accurately, thus:-- “that that boy there waiting _on him_, whoever should live to see it, would prove a marvellous rare man.”[17] [Headnote: YOUNG NOBLES IN WOLSEY’S HOUSEHOLD.] Through Wolsey’s household, says Professor Brewer, almost all the Officials of Henry the Eighth’s time passed. Cavendish, in his Life of Wolsey (vol. i. p. 38, ed. Singer, 1825) says of the Cardinal, “And at meals, there was continually in his chamber a board kept for his Chamberlains, and Gentlemen Ushers, having with them _a mess of the young Lords_, and another for gentlemen.” Among these young Lords, we learn at p. 57, was “my Lord Percy, the son and heir of the Earl of Northumberland, [who] then attended upon the Lord Cardinal, and was also his servitor; and when it chanced the Lord Cardinal at any time to repair to the court, the Lord Percy would then resort for his pastime unto the queen’s chamber, and there would fall in dalliance among the queen’s maidens, being at the last more conversant with Mistress Anne Boleyn than with any other; so that there grew such a secret love between them that, at length they were insured together, intending to marry[18].” Among the persons daily attendant upon Wolsey in his house, down-lying and up-rising, Cavendish enumerates “of Lords nine or ten, who had each of them allowed two servants; and the Earl of Derby had allowed five men” (p. 36-7). On this Singer prints a note, which looks like a guess, signed _Growe_, “Those Lords that were placed in the great and privy chambers were _Wards_, and as such paid for their board and education.” It will be seen below that he had a particular officer called “Instructor of his Wards” (_Cavendish_, p. 38, l. 2). Why I suppose the note to be a guess is, because at p. 33 Cavendish has stated that Wolsey “had also a great number daily attending upon him, both of noblemen and worthy gentlemen, of great estimation and possessions,--with no small number of the tallest yeomen that he could get in all his realm; in so much that well was that nobleman and gentleman that might prefer any tall and comely yeoman unto his service.”
