That doone, the kings councell at the barre called for iudgement.Cardinall Campeius refuseth to giue iudge|ment. With that (quoth cardinall Campei|us) I will not giue iudgement till I haue made re|lation to the pope of all our procéedings, whose counsell and commandement in this case I will ob|serue: the case is verie doubtfull, and also the partie defendant will make no answer here, but dooth ra|ther appeale from vs, supposing that we be not indif|ferent. Wherfore I will adiourne this court for this time, according to the order of the court of Rome. And with that the court was dissolued, and no more doone. This protracting of the conclusion of the mat|ter, king Henrie tooke verie displeasantlie. Then cardinall Campeius tooke his leaue of the king and nobilitie, and returned towards Rome.]

This was a EEBO page image 909 great griefe vnto the cardinall, as he that perceiued aforehand, that the king would marie the said gen|tlewoman, if the diuorse tooke place. Wherfore he be|gan with all diligence to disappoint that match, which by reason of the misliking that he had to the woman, he iudged ought to be auoided more than present death. While the matter stood in this state, and that the cause of the quéene was to be heard and iudged at Rome,The secret working and dissimulation of cardinall Wolseie. by reason of the appeale which by hir was put in: the cardinall required the pope by letters and secret messengers, that in anie wise he should defer the iudgement of the diuorse, till he might frame the kings mind to his purpose.

The king vnderstanding more plainlie by those articles, the great pride, presumption, and couetousnesse of the cardinall, was sore mooued against him; but yet kept his purpose secret for a while. Shortlie after, a parlement was called to begin at Westminster the third of Nouember next insuing.
