A Letter of Cardinal Wolsey's to King Henry, about Foreign News; and concerning Luther's Answer to the King's Book. An Original.

SIR;

AFTER my most humble and lowly recommendations, these shall be to advertise your Highness, that as yet, our Lord be thanked, there is not commen any Confirmation either from Rome, Venice, Italy, France, or Flanders, of the late Newes, which was sent from the Archeduke to the Lady Margaret whereof, by many other Letters, I advertised your Grace. So that nowe the said News be generally reputed and taken but as frasks; and the braging avaunts of the Spaniards be so accalmed, that they not only account such Money as they have hitherto layde upon the said News to be thereby Lost, but also they dare not nowe

aventre fyve, foure, or thre for a hundred. Howbeit, Sir, I do not Lytel marvyle that sinnes the seventh Day of the last Month, in the which it was wrytten that the feate against the Venetians should be doon, there be more Letters commen either from France, Rome, Venyse, or Italy. It is bruted in Flanders that Pavy by Dedition should be delivered to the said Venetians hands, which, if it be true, your Grace shall shortly here of the Spaniards total extermination out of Italy.

I forbere, Sir, to dispech your Letters to the Cardinal of Magunce and the Duke George of Saxe: because I have not as yet neyther Luthers original Letters, which were very necessary to be sent to the Popes Holiness, nor also any Copy thereof, which must nede be sent with your Answer to the said Cardinal and Duke. It may be your Pleasure to take Orders that the said Original Letter or Copy thereof may be sent unto me with Diligence. Other News I have none to signify unto your Highness at this present tyme, but as other shall occurr I shall not fail to advertise your Grace of the same accordingly. At your Grace mannor of Hampton Court the fourth Day of August by your

most humble Chapleyn,
