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.
