‘That the King hath received his Lett_er_s and is very sorry _th_at he is in such necessity, yet that for Releefe his Ma^{ty} hath differed it till he speak w_i_th his Counsail. The D. of Norfolk p_ro_miseth you his best ayd but he willeth you for the present to be content and not much to molest the King (concerning payment of yo_ur_ Debts etc) for, as he supposeth, the time is not meet for it. His Grace (i.e. _th_e King) shewed me how it is come to his knowlege that yo_ur_ Grace should haue cert_e_in words of him and other Noblemen vnto my L^d of Norfolk since the time of yo_ur_ adversityes w_hi_ch words should sound to make sedition betwixt him and my Lord of Norfolk. Mr. Page received yo_ur_ Lett_er_s directed vnto my Lady Anne, and delivered _th_e same. there is yet no answer. she gaue kind words, but will not p_ro_mise to speake to the K. for you. Certein Doctors of both the Vniversityes are here for the suppression of the Lutheran opinions. The Kings H^{nes} hath caused the sayd doctors at divers times to assemble, and hath com_m_oned w_i_th them. The fame is that Luther is dep_ar_ted this Life. I would he had never bin borne.’ ‘Cromwel writes to Card^l Wolsey, August, ‹1530›. ‘Intreating him to haue patience etc. that there shall be some offices sent into York and Nottinghamsh. to be found of yo_ur_ Lands, belonging to yo_ur_ ArchB_isho_prick. This will be very displeasant to you, but it is best to suffer it. for if they should not be found you could not howld yo_ur_ B_isho_prick quiet, notw_i_thstanding yo_ur_ p_ar_don: for yo_ur_ Restitution made by yo_ur_ Pardon is cleerly Voyd, for that the King did restitute yo_ur_ Grace before He was intitled by matter of Record.

S_ir_, some there be that do allege that yo_ur_ Grace doth keep too great a Howse and family and that you are continually a-Building--for the Love of God ther_e_fore haue a respect and refraine etc.’ ‘Crumwell writes to _th_e Cardinal, Octob‹er, 1530›. ‘I am informed yo_ur_ Grace hath in me some diffidence as if I did dissemble w_i_th you or p_ro_cure anything contrary to yo_ur_ p_ro_fit and hono_ur_ I much muse that yo_ur_ Grace should so think or report it secretly considering the paines I haue taken etc. Wherfor I beseech you to speak w_i_thout faining if you haue such conceit, that I may cleere myself.
