Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Abr. Fl. ex I.S. pag. 970. The cardinall at his manor of Cawood keepeth a bountifull house.¶Cardinall Wolseie lieng at Cawood, held there an honourable and plentifull house for all commers, and also built & repared the castell, which was great|lie in decaie, hauing artificers and labourers aboue thrée hundred persons dailie in wages. At length being therevnto persuaded by the doctors of the church of Yorke, he determined to be installed there at Yorke minster, the next mondaie after Alhal|lowes daie, against which time due preparation was made for the same, but not in such sumptuous wise, as his predecessors before him had vsed. For wheras the cardinall was not abashed to send to the king, re|quiring him to lend him the mitre and pall which he was woont to weare when he sang masse in anie so|lemne assemblie: the king vpon sight of his letters, could not but maruell at the proud presumptuousnes of the man, saieng: What a thing is this, that pride shuld thus reigne in a person that is quite vnder foot.

The daie being once knowne vnto the worship|full gentlemen of the countrie, and other, as abbats, and priors,The cardinall knoweth not that he was to be arrested of treason. and notice of his installation, they sent in such prouision of vittels, that it is almost incredi|ble, all which was vnknowne to the cardinall, for as much as he was preuented and disappointed of his purpose, by the reason that he was arrested of high treason, as yée shall héereafter heare. So that most part of this former prouision that I speake of, was sent vnto Yorke the same daie of his arrest, and the next daie following: for his arrest was kept as close as could be. The order of his arrest was thus. It was appointed by the king & counsell, that sir Walter Walsh knight, one of the kings priuie chamber, should be sent downe with a commission into the north vnto the earle of Northumberland (who was sometime brought vp in house with the cardinall) and they twaine being iointlie in commission to arrest the cardinall of high treason, maister Walsh tooke his horsse at the court gate, about noone, vpon Alhal|lowes daie, toward the earle of Northumberland.

Prognostica|tions of the cardinals ru|ine or fall.And now haue I occasion to declare what hap|pened about the same time, which peraduenture sig|nified the troubles following to the cardinall. The cardinall sitting at dinner vpon Alhallowes daie, hauing at his boords end diuerse chapleins sitting at dinner, yée shall vnderstand that the cardinals great crosse stood in a corner at the tables end, leaning a|gainst the hanging, and when the boords end was ta|ken vp, and a conuenient time for the chapleins to arise, one doctor Augustine a Uenecian, and physici|an to the cardinall, rising from the table with the o|ther, hauing vpon him a great gowne of boisterous veluet, ouerthrew the crosse, which trailing downe a|long the tappet, with the point of one of the crosses, brake doctor Bonars head that the bloud ran downe,Doctor Bo|nars head broken. the companie there standing greatlie astonied with the chance.
