Anno. 1532.--On the 16th of January, 1532, it seems his Majesty was at York Place, and on the 18th, books were sent there to him from the bookbinder;[77] and we find that plate and furniture were conveyed there about the same time from Greenwich[78] He was still at Westminster on the 5th[79] and 22nd of February,[80] and 8th of March;[81] on the 18th of which month, according to Hall, he gave an audience to the Speaker and Members of the House of Commons.[82] No account of Henry's residence occurs after that date until the 8th of April, when Lady Sydney sent him a present of orange pies at Greenwich,[83] and where he continued until the 16th. Early in April "sodeynly began a pestylence in Westmynster,"[84] and the disease evidently extended to Greenwich, for on the 11th of that month several persons were sent out of that town "by reason of the plage."[85] On the 16th of April his Majesty went to Westminster,[86] but returned again to Greenwich before the 26th, upon which day a hawk was brought to him at that palace.[87] He was, however, at Westminster on the 8th of May,[88] though it may be inferred that he was at Greenwich on the 15th.[89] There can be little doubt that from the 8th of April to the end of May he divided his time between those palaces, for as the parliament was then sitting at Westminster, his presence was occasionally indispensable; and we learn from Hall, that on the 16th of May, Sir Thomas More delivered the great seal to the King at that place. On the 1st of June Henry was at Eltham,[90] where he resided until the 3rd of July,[91] the entries during which period are excessively curious, as indicative of the manner in which he passed his time.[92] He arrived at Waltham on or before the 4th of July,[93] and continued there, or at Hunsdon until about the 21st, when he commenced his summer progress into Berkshire, Bedfordshire, Bucks, and Oxfordshire. On the 23rd of July he was at Ampthill,[94] at which place he continued until the 28th or 29th,[95] when he proceeded to Grafton; where, on the 31st, a monk brought him a letter in a purse.[96] He quitted Grafton about the 5th of August, and on the 6th was at Buckingham;[97] on the 10th, he was at Woodstock,[98] where he ordered 56_l._ 13_s._ 4_d._ to be paid to Doctor Chambers for the scholars of Oxford, on the 14th.[99] From Woodstock he went to Langley Park, near Colnbrook, at which place a hundred crowns were given to him to play at dice on the 18th;[100] and on the 25th he was at Abingdon.[101] On the 27th he was both there and at Ewelme, the distance between which does not exceed ten miles: at the former, Sir Simon Harcourt's servant brought him a brace of greyhounds, and at the latter an Italian presented him with a melon.[102] His Majesty appears to have passed through Reading on the 28th,[103] and to have reached Windsor on the 31st of August,[104] where he remained until the 17th of September,[105] when he went to Chertsey;[106] but on the 21st he was
