Charles Marignane, and Robert Gaguine minister of the Bonnehom|mes of the trinitie.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 [...]. Henrie is [...] that the French king should marrie the duchesse of Britaine.In deed king Henrie was loth that the French king should marrie the duchesse of Britaine himselfe (as he perceiued his meaning was) and so some the duchie of Britaine to the crowne of France: and therefore he did what he could to hinder that bar|gaine.
