When he was ar|riued at Calis, there was conference had amongest the councellors of the quéene for the maner of his re|ceiuing:The councell diuided about the receiuing of the cardi|nall. some would haue had him verie honoura|blie met and interteined, as he was in all places where he had before passed, not onelie for that he was a cardinall, and a legat from the pope; but also for that he was the quéenes néere kinsman, of the house of Clarence. Neuerthelesse, after much debating, it was thought méetest, first, for that by the lawes of the realme (which yet were not repealed) he stood at|tainted by parlement, and also for that it was doubt|full how he being sent from Rome, should be accep|ted of the people, who in fiue and twentie yeares be|fore, had not béene much acquainted with the pope or his cardinals, that therefore (vntill all things might be put in order for that purpose) he should come without anie great solemnitie vnto Lambeth, where (in the archbishops house) his lodging was prepared.

Ab. Fl. ex I. S. pag. 1077. Stephan Gardiner ma|keth an orati|on to the lords of the councell &c. touching the quéenes marriage.¶ On the fouretéenth of Ianuarie, doctor Stephan Gardiner bishop of Winchester lord chancellour of England, in the chamber of presence at Westmin|ster, made to the lords, nobilitie, and gentlemen, an oration verie eloquent, wherein he declared that the queenes maiestie, partlie for amitie, and other weigh|tie considerations had, after much sute on the empe|rours and prince of Spaines behalfe made, deter|mined by the consent of the councell and nobilitie, to match hir selfe with the said prince in most godlie and lawfull matrimonie; and declared further, that she should haue for hir iointer thirtie thousand du|cats by the yeare, with all the low countrie of Flan|ders, and that the issue (if there happened anie) be|twéene them two lawfullie begotten, should be heire as well to the kingdome of Spaine, as also to the said low countrie. He said therefore that they were all bound to thanke God, that so noble, worthie, and famous a prince would vouchsafe so to humble him|selfe,Gardiner cõ|mendeth the king of Spaine. as in this marriage to take vpon him rather as a subiect, than otherwise. For the queene & hir coun|cell should rule all things as she did before, and that there should be of the councell no stranger, neither to haue custodie of any forts or castels, &c: nor to beare anie rule or office in the quéenes house, or else where in all England, with diuerse other articles there by him rehearsed. Wherefore he said the quéenes plea|sure and request was, that like good subiects for hir sake, they would most louinglie receiue him with re|uerence, ioie, and honour. On the next daie, the lord maior of London with his bretheren the aldermen, were sent for to the court, and to bring with them for|tie of the head commoners of the citie, vnto whome before the councell, the lord chancellor made the like oration, desiring them to behaue themselues like good subiects with all humblenesse and reioising.]
