Footnote 264: Cranmer, _Remains_, p. 246. Footnote 265: ‘The purity of her life, her constant virginity.’—Burnet, _Records_, iii. p. 64; see, also, Wyatt, _Memoirs of Anne Boleyn_, p. 437. Footnote 266: Henry’s instructions to the Earl of Rochford are written in French, probably that they might be shown to Francis.—_State papers_, vii. pp. 429-431. Footnote 267: _State Papers_, vii. p. 421. A note mentions that the document cannot be found. It is evidently the brief given by Le Grand, _Preuves du Divorce_, p. 558. Footnote 268: ‘Te et ipsam Annam, excommunicationis pœna, innodatos declaramus.’—Le Grand, _Preuves_, p. 567. Footnote 269: ‘Granted by the pope at the suits of the imperials.’—_State Papers_, vii. p. 454. Footnote 270: ‘He can hardly believe it to be true rather than to be counterfeited.’—Ibid. p. 421.

Footnote 274: Statute against appeals, 24 Henry VIII. cap. 12; Collyers, _Ch. History_, ii. Footnote 275: Wilkins, _Concilia Mag. Britanniæ_, iii. pp. 756-759. Rymer, Fœdera, vi. p. 179. Footnote 276: _State Papers_ (Henry VIII.), i. p. 390. Footnote 277: ‘Your sufferance and grants.’—_State Papers_ (Henry VIII.), i. p. 390. Footnote 278: The two letters are in the State Paper Office; they are in Cranmer’s handwriting, and appear to have been read, both of them, by the king. Our hypothesis touching these letters differs from that of Mr. Froude (_Hist. England_, i. p. 440). _State Papers_ (Henry VIII.), i. pp. 390, 391. Footnote 279: ‘Vere et manifeste contumacem.’—_State Papers_ (Henry VIII.) i. p. 394. Footnote 280: ‘My lord of Canterbury handleth himself very uprightly.’—Ibid. p. 395.

That appears hardly probable, and is in contradiction to Cranmer’s narrative, where we read: ‘Her grace came to the Tower on Thursday at night.... Friday all day the king and queen tarried there.... The next day, which was Saturday, the knights rid before the queen’s grace towards Westminster.’—_Letters_, p. 245. Footnote 285: ‘Lambert delivered ... by the coming of Queen Anne.’—Foxe, _Acts_, v. p. 225.
