Compare 1577 edition: 1 The cardinall after he had soiorned in Bruges the space of thirtéene daies,The [...] receiueth the cardinall with great honour at Bruges and concluded diuerse mat|ters with the emperour, and accomplished his com|mission, he tooke leaue of his maiestie, and by con|uenient iorneis returned to Calis, where the ambas|sadors of France taried his comming: and immedi|atlie after his returne to Calis, he treated with them of peace, but not so earnestlie as he did before. In fine, nothing was concluded, but onelie that fisher|men of both the princes might fréelie fish on the seas without disturbance, till the second of Februarie next. When no conclusion of agréement could be ac|corded, the cardinall sent to the emperour the lord of S. Iohns, and sir Thomas Bullen knight, to aduer|tise his maiestie what had béene doone, and likewise to the French king, as then lieng in campe with a mightie armie in the marches about Cambreie. The earle of Worcester and the bishop of Elie were sent to informe him of all things that had béene moti|oned, exhorting him to incline to peace, but he gaue little eare thereto: and then after they had béene a ninetéene or twentie daies in his host they returned. During the continuance of the cardinall in Calis,Cardinall Woolsie car|rieth the great seale with him to Calis, & then sealeth writs and patents all writs and patents were there by him sealed, and no shiriffes chosen for lacke of his presence, hauing there with him the great seale, & full power in things, as if the king had béene there in person. ¶Ambassa|dors comming from the king of Hungarie towards the king of England, were receiued honourablie of the Cardinall during his abode in Calis.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 After the returne of the English ambassadours, which the cardinall had sent to the emperour, and to the French king, he returned into England, hauing (as some write) concluded a new league with the emperour, Polydor. and signified by waie of intendment to the French king in the treatie with his ambassadors, that the king of England meant him not so much fréendship as of late he had doone, for diuerse causes. But speciallie this was vttered, that where it was concluded that the king of Scots should be included within the league (as before yée haue heard) contra|rie to that agréement, the said king refused to enter as a confederate into the same league: and this no doubt procéeded through counsell of the French king, by whom he was wholie guided. This quarrell was laid as an occasion, whie to mooue the king of Eng|land (perceiuing himselfe to be dissembled with) to withdraw his good will from the French king.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Who when he vnderstood the drifts of the cardi|nall, and conclusion of the new league confirmed be|twixt the king of England and the emperour, he con|demned the cardinall of vntruth, accused him of dis|simulation, abhorred his practises, as by the which he lost the fruition of the king of England his freend|ship, and might no longer inioy it. And herewith he determined with himselfe neuer to put confidence in anie Englishman after, nor to bestow anie gifts or pensions vpon them. For he vsed yéerelie to send EEBO page image 871 to diuerse of the kings councell after the maner of his predecessors sundrie gifts and summes of monie:  bicause he had imploied more on the cardinall than on the residue, he was the more offended toward him as the head of all this iniurious dooing. Yet he found not himselfe so much gréeued, as to vtter anie bitter words towards the king: but contrarilie within a while after, directed his letters vnto him, signifieng that he meant to continue the league as his freend: but it maie be he did this after a dissembling sort, bi|cause he would not be at warres with two so mightie princes at one time.
