so just and clear, and yet not admitted. Then his Lordship went further, and said, that Impedimentum allegatum erat perpetuum, because your Highness, ex causa reipublicæ, could not come out your Realm, and quia dignitas vestra est perpetua; and also quod Causa requirit celeritatem. To this, I said, that his Lordship mistook the Matter, for we said not in the Matters that your Highness could not go out of your Realm to no place, but we said, that the same could not go, ad loca tum remota, as Rome is; so that it was not perpetuum impedimentum. And to the other I shewed bim a Text, and the common opinion of Doctors in a Cause of Matrimony, being inter Regem et Reginam, which took away the thing that he had said. Then his Lordship said, That it was enough that the place were sure to the Procurator by the Chapter, Cum olim de testibus. I said, That that Chapter did not prove that Allegation, and that they mistook the Text that so did understand it, for the Alternative that is in that Text is not referred ud locum tutum, but ad ordinem Citationis inchoandæ in persona principali, aut efus procuratore; and so Petrus de Anchorano understand eth that Text; and otherwise understanding the same it should be against the Chapter, Es parte de appellatione and the common opinion there. Then he said that Aretine saith, Quod sufficit quum locus sit tutus procuratori. I said, that under his favour, Aretine saith the contrary, for he saith, Quod partibus debet locus tutus assignari si poterit, et si non poterit partibus, detur procuratoribus. Then his Lordship said to me, That I knew well he began to set forward these Disputations, and that he would do the best he could for the furtherance thereof.

he would, as he hath done in making of Cardinals, an Act much more solemn than a Dis. putation. To that, I said, his Holiness might so do if he would; howbeit, it should be preter solitum morem: and therefore desired his Holiness to consider therein the order before assigned, and that this term peremptory would not stand with the order. His Holiness then willed we should inform the Cardinals, Anchona, and de Monte, and so we did; Anchona shewed himself somewhat reasonable, and was contented the term peremptory should be put out. De Monte said that the Pope would promise to hear the Conclusions disputed in Congregations, calling thereto certain Cardinals, so that the term peremptory should not be prejudicial. Then I Edward Karne desired him, that if the said term should not be prejudicial, that it might be stricken out, for I told him plainly that I would not stand to words, the writing shew. ing the contrary; adding withal, that I would not dispute in this term, tanquam peremptorio, but would manifestly shew and protest, That I, with other your Highness's Counsel, were ready to defend the Conclusions published, according to the order given, and hitherto observed; alledging also, that the Conclusions being justified, the Matters ought to be admitted; and that if the Pope's Holiness and the Cardinals would not give audience to me and your Highness's said Counsel, for the manifest trial and showing of the truth, they should give us cause to complain upon them, and to cry out, usque ad Sidera, your Highness's Ambassadors all affirming the same. Then the said Cardinal de Monte said, that the Pope's Holiness would provide for the Disputations, notwithstanding the term peremptory assigned, and said also, that in the Morning he would speak with the Pope, and give your Ambassadors and me an answer.

The 19th of this present I went with your Highness's Ambassadors to the Pope, and delivered his Holiness in writing those things that were done in the Disputation of the 13th In the morning, which was the 20th of this of this: And then your Ambassadors were in present, the said Cardinal would that nothing hand with the Pope to alter the Intimation, of the Decree of Intimation should be maniand to put out the term peremptory, and other fested, because the other part had a Copy that were exclusory of further Disputations thereof, but would the Pope's Holiness to to be had upon the same Conclusions. The give an order that the word peremptory should Pope's Holiness said, That Disputations was be only for Disputations to be had in the Conno act Judicial requiring to be in the Consis- sistory, and not in Congregations, in which tory; and therefore he said, he would call Congregations, the Conclusions remaining certain Congregations of Cardinals, on Fri- might be disputed; and tho they had drawn day and Monday following, to hear the Dis- out this Order, yet because it was nothing putations. Then I William Benet said, That plain, neither certain to be comformable to that could not stand very well with the De- the former Order, I would have had the said cree of the Intimation, which was peremptory Cardinal to speak to the said Datary for to for any further Disputations after the 20th of make it as afore: and he was then contented, this present; and therefore I spake that the howbeit the Pope's Holiness commanded all same term peremptory might be put out of the the Cardinals to their places, so that I could Intimation, alledging withal, that upon the not have the said Order, and was driven said Friday or Monday it was no time to thereby either to dispute and accept the term, hear the Disputation, being so nigh after; tanquam peremptorium, or else to fly the Disand that his Holiness hitherto hath observed putations, giving occasion to the adverse the Consistory for the Disputations, which Party to say, that I diffided in the justness Consistory cannot be unto after Easter, if the of the Matters, and defence of the Conclumanner of the Court be observed. Then the sions. Wherepon your Highness's Ambassa Pope said, he might call a Consistory when_dors and we, with other your Learned Coun

F

sel, concluded, that I Edward Karne should protest, De non consentiendo in termino, tanquam peremptorio, and afterward to proceed to the proposing of the Conclusions, and so I did by mouth according to the tenour of a Copy, which here withal your Highness shall receive. When I had protested, and the Pope had spoken this word Acceptamus, the Queen's Advocate began to protest that they would dispute no more, and desired his Holiness to proceed in the principal Cause. Then I Edward Karne said, That the Pope's Holiness did well perceive, that the Conclusions were published and proposed, not only or them to dispute, but also for all other, come who would, for the information of his Holiness, and the whole Consistory. And therefore I said, that tho they would not dispute, yet I was there, with other your Highness's Learned Counsel, to propose the Conclusions, according to the Order given, justifying them to be Canonical, and ready to defend them against all those that would gainsay them; and thereupon desired the Pope's Holiness, that tho the Counsel of the Party Adverse would not dispute, yet with your Highness's Learned Counsel might be heard again; against which my desire the Queen's Advocate made great exclamations, till at the last the Pope commanded him to silence, and willed us to go to the Conclusions, which we did.

And here now it is determined, That we shall have no more Disputations in the Consistory, but the rest of the Conclusions to he disputed in Congregations before the Pope, purposely made for the same; and what therein shall be determined or done, your Highness from time to time shall thereof by us be advertised, and of all other our doings in that behalf.

And as concerning the Letters which your Highness sent by Francis the Courier, of the last of February, as well to the Pope, as to me Edward Karne, for the admission of me and the Matter excusatory, we shall, according to your Highness's pleasure and order assigned, in the common Letter sent unto us by your said Highness, proceed and do therein as may be most beneficial and profitable

for the same.

And thus most humbly we commend us to your Highness, beseeching Almighty God to preserve the same in felicity and health many years. At Rome the 28th of March 1532. Your Highness's most humble Subjects, Servants, and Chaplains,

great labour, and solliciting, to bring the Disputation publick out of the Consistory kept once in the week, into the Congregations, to be observed and kept before the Pope's Holiness and the Cardinals, in such place, and as oft as should please them; to the intent, as we perceived, that the said Disputation might be the sooner ended, and not take such effect as it was devised for. upon this great importune labour, I Edward Karne, was monished oftentimes to send Conclusions to be proposed to the said Congregations, as well in Palm-Sunday week, as in Easter-week, as appeareth by the Copies of the Intimations sent herewithal to your Highness: Upon which Intimations I delivered certain Conclusions, according to the order taken at the beginning, with a Protestation devised by your Grace's Counsel here, De non recedendo ab eodem ordine, et de proponendo easdem Conclusiones in Consistorio, juata eundem ordinem et non aliter. That notwithstanding the Pope's Holiness caused me to be monished again, cum Comminatione, that if I would not come in, cum Advocatis, the third day of April, procederet ad ulteriora protestatione mea prævia non obstante. Whereupon, with the advice of your said Leamed Counsel, I conceived a Protestation, and the same delivered to the Pope's Holiness, the said third day in the morning, protesting as it was therein contained, and causing it to be registered by the Datary of the which Protestation your Highness shall also receive a Copy herewithal. This notwithstanding, the Pope's Holiness, the said third day in the afternoon made a Congregation, where the said Protestation was examined; and after the Treaty had upon the same, we were in conclusion emitted again to the Consistory, there to be heard, as much as the Consistory intendeth to hear, upon the Conclusions that are published; which was much more beneficial to us, than to have had all proposed in Congregations to have been kept, as is afore. And by this means the Matter was shifted off, and deferred until the 10th of this month; at which time the Pope's Holiness kept the Consistory. And one Mr. Providel, a singular good Clerk, which came from Bonony for the furtherance of your Highness's Cause, very compendiously, and after good fashion and handling, to the great contentation, as appeared, of the Audience there, purposed three Conclusions, of the which two concerned the habilitation of me Edward Karne, to lay in the Matters Excusatory: And the third was, that the Cause ought to be committed, extra curiam, ad locum tutum utrique purti: Of the which Conclusions, and also his Sayings, the said 10th

withal. And forasmuch as at the said Consistory, neither the Imperials, neither yet the Queen's Counsel did appear; I, Edward Karne, with the advice of your Highness's Counsel, said to the Pope's Holiness, after

the Process. An Original.

the Proposition made by Mr. Providel, that XLVI.—A Letter from Benet and Cassalı about his Holiness might perceive well, that if the Party adverse had any good matter to alledg, against such things as were deduced for the justification of the Conclusions, and matter Excusatory, and did not diffide of their part, they would not have absented themselves, or shrunken from the Disputations, which they afore bad accepted and taken; wherefore I accused their contumacy and absence, desiring that it might be enacted, and thereupon departed from the Consistory, for that day dissolved.

The 14th of this present, the Pope's Holiness caused Intimation to be made unto me, of the Consistory to be kept the 17th of the same; willing me to be there, cum Advocatis, to dispute all the Conclusions not proposed and disputed Upon the which Intimation, I delivered to the Datary three Conclusions, the 19, the 20, and the 21 in order, with a Protestation devised by your learned Counsel, sent herewithal to your Highness: And in the said Consistory, Mr. Providel did also alledg for the justification of the Matters and conclusions; and over that answered to such Objections as he thought the Party adverse to make foundation upon, and that very compendiously, being sorry that the Imperials, and Queen's Counsel, did not come in to dispute the said Conclusions, and the sayings of the said Mr. Providel in the said Consistory, with my Protestation also, in not agreeing to the term, as peremptory, your Highness shall perceive in writing sent here withal.

As concerning the seven Conclusions yet remaining undisputed, we think the Pope's Holiness will hear us no further in the Consistory; saying, that the Part adverse will not abide the Disputations, nor come in to the same. Nevertheless to take otherwise out of the Consistory, with the Cardinals Information, his Holiness is well contented.

And verily, Sir, to study, labour, set forward, and call upon such things as may confer to the advancement of the Matter, and your Highness's Purpose, there shall not want, neither good will, neither diligence to the uttermost, that we can excogitate or desire, as hitherto surely neither Party hath failed; trusting in God that thereby, if Justice be not oppressed, some good effect shall follow, to the good contentation of your Highness. With these presents, your Highness shall also receive a Copy of all things that were spoken, as well for your Highness's behalf, as by the Party adverse, in the Consistory, the 20th day of March.

And thus most humbly we commend us to your Highness, beseeching Almighty God long to continue the same in his most Royal Estate. At Rome, the 29th of April.

[Cotton Libr. Vitel. B. 15.] SERENISSIME et Invictissime Domine nos ter Supreme, salutem. Tribus Superioribus Consistoriis ante vacationes habitis, de Causa Excusatoria actum fuit; sed quid illud fuerit quod in primo egerunt rescire non potuimus, quia Cardinales pæna Excommunicationis prohibiti fuerant quicquam revelare. cundo etiam aliquid super eadem causa tractarunt, quod itidem nos celaverunt. Sed ultimo illo, quod die octavo Julii Congregatum fuit, ita ut inferius patebit, constituerunt. Quum ergo postero die Pontificem adivissemus, ut quod decretum foret cognosceremus, ab eo sic accepimus; nolle se ore suo, propterea quod Jurisperitus non sit, Consistorii deliberationem pronunciare; quocirca die sequenti ad ipsum rediremus, quoniam vellet Cardinales Montem et Anconitanum id ipsum nobis proferre: Et nihilominus idem quod deinde ex ipsis Cardinalibus audivimus tune explicavit, noluit tamen nobis esse Responsi loco. Igitur sicut dixerat, redivimus, et nobis duo illi Cardinales sic retulerunt summum Dominum et Cardinales decrevisse, literas Exhortatorias cum a Pontifice, tum a Collegio Cardinalium, Majestati vestræ scribendas esse, quibus vestram Majestatem adhortarentur, ut velit hic ad Causam Procuratorem constituere, idq; per totum Octobrem proximum facere. Pontifex præterea suadebat ut ad idem nos Majestatem Vestram cohortaremur, iidemq; fecerunt Cardinales, volentes omnes ambiguitates et dubitationes tollere. Respondimus, velle quod nobis injungebatur Majestati Vestræ scribere; verum illud non posse reticere quod erga Majestatem Vestram inique actum videbatur; quum neq; Excusator admissus, neq; ipsius allegationes forent probatæ ac receptæ, id quod tam sæpe instantissime petitum fuerat. Præterea non posse nos non valde mirari, ac etiam summopere conqueri, quod quum pro comperto haberemus juris esse id fieri, esset nihilominus denegatum; quum præsertim petendo Mandatum procuratorium, tacite viderentur rejicere Excusatorem, et per ipsum allegata. Sic autem illi nobis Responderunt, neque Excusatorem fuisse rejectum, neq; per ipsum allegata, sed in eodem, quo prius, statu permanere; hoc autem excusatorium negotium minime, ut nobis judicibus clarum, sed dubium videri. Ibiq; Anconitanus quædam nostris contraria adduxit, quæ D. Karne suis literis recenset. Dicebant quoq; in hac re favorabilius nos, quam adversarios fuisse tractatos; illud etiam addentes, quod si procuratorium mandatum mittatur, justitia optime ministrabitur, ac etiam quatenus fieri possit, favorabiliter; idque et Pontifex et Cardinales ambo constanter asseverabant. Quum vero nos sæpius diceremus, excusatorem admitti debuisse, dixerunt, si recte considerare velimus, nos idem ipsum re habuisse; si enim (aibant), Procu

rator hic constituatur, literæ Remissoriæ et Compulsoriæ decernentur, ad testes in partibus examinandos. Itemq; vir aliquis probus ad id delegabitur ad utramq; partem, testesque scil. examinandos, ita ut processus in partibus fiat; Atque hoc pacto nos id consequi quod desideramus, quoniam quod ad totius causæ decisionem pertinet, ex eo quod de Pontificis potestate cognoscendum, et de jure Divino disceptandum sit, ac aliis etiam de causis, ipsam Decisionem Pontifici integram semper reservari nihilominus oporteret, quamvis causam alibi quam Romæ cognosci permissum fuisset. Nobis certe visum est, haud parum esse quod obtinuimus, longe enim pejora timebamus, quum nemo in urbe esset, qui non crederet Excusatorem una cum suis allegationibus rejectum iri. Hunc quidem eventum rei Cæsariani ægerrime tulerunt. Optime valeat Majestas vestra. Rome die

XLVIII.--Act 5. Anno Regni 25. An Act concerning the Deprivations of the Bishops of Salisbury and Worcester. WHERE before this time the Church of England, by the King's most noble Progenitors, and the Nobles of the same, have been founded, ordained, and established in the Estate and degree of Prelatic Dignities, and other Promotions Spiritual, to the intent and purpose that the said Prelates, and other Persons, having the said Dignities and Promotions Spiritual, continually should be abiding, and Reseants upon their said Promotions within this Realm; and also keep, use, and exercise Hospitality, Divine Services, teaching and preaching of the Laws of Almighty God, to such Persons as were and have been within the precinct of their Promotions or Dignities, for the Wealth of the Souls of their Givers and Founders, greatly to the honour of Almighty God. Of the which said Spiritual Persons, the King's Highness, and his most noble Progenitors, have had right honourable, and well-learned Personages, apt, meet, and convenient, for to guide and instruct his Highness, and his most noble Progenitors, in their Counsels, concerning as well their Outward as Inward Affairs, to be devised and practised for the utility and preservation of this Realm; by reason whereof the Issues, Revenues, Profits, and Treasure, rising and coming of the said Spiritual Promotions and Dignities, were and should be spent, employed, and converted within this Realm, to the great profit and commodity of the King's Subjects of the same.
