Which thing after that the pope had granted, [...] restrained. turned to the great quietnesse of the king and his realme. For manie that had of|fended, for feare to fall into danger, returned to the due subiection of their prince; and other that were yet frée from perill, durst not hazard themselues so boldlie as they durst haue doone before, vpon hope of such starting holes.

His brother the duke of Yorke was stai|ed from the title of Prince by the space of a moneth, till to women it might appeare whether the ladie Ka|tharine wife to the said prince Arthur was conceiued with child or not. [It is reported that this ladie Ka|tharine thought and feared such dolorous chance to come: for when she had imbraced hir father, Edw. Hall i [...] Hen. 7. fol. [...]. and ta|ken hir leaue of hir noble and prudent mother, and sailed towards England, she was continuallie so tossed and tumbled hither and thither with boisterous winds, that what for the rage of the water, and con|trarietie of the winds, hir ship was prohibited di|uerse times to approach the shore and take land.]
