Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 At the contemplation of this cardinall, the king lent to the emperour a great summe of monie. But the chiefest matter that mooued the king to be so frée to Maximilian, was bicause the same monie should be imploied on men of warre against the French king, towards whome the king (or rather cardinall Woolseie) of late had conceiued a grudge, as thus. True it is, that the king bestowed the reuenues of the see of Tornaie vpon the cardinall, at what time that sée came into the kings hands: and therefore the cardinall being desirous to assure to himselfe the same, made sute to the French king, that he would prouide Guillard the former bishop of Tornaie of some other bishoprike in France, so that he might resigne the bishoprike of Tornaie clearelie into his hands. The French king, perceiuing how much this should make against his purpose, that vpon occa|sion hoped euer to recouer the possession of Tornaie, would not gratifie the cardinall herein.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Wherevpon the cardinall turning the kings mind at his plasure, persuaded him,The cardinall an enimie to peace. that the next way to abate the French kings puissance (which in the be|gining of his reigne had recouered Millan, and grew euerie daie in power more than other) should bée to mainteine the emperour with monie against him, so as the Frenchmen should be chastised without the trauell of him or his people. Herevpon was Richard Pase sent first into Germanie with a great summe of monie to wage the Swizzes, which vnder the con|duct of the emperor Maximilian inuaded the duchie of Millan; but without anie great gaine returned from thence, leauing Millan in the Frenchmens hands at that time. And now for a new reliefe was this cardinall of Sion sent from Millan, at whose in|stance monie was assigned to be deliuered, and cer|teine Genowaies vndertooke the exchange, which made not paiment thereof at the day, although they had receiued it of the king.

In this yeare the king kept his Christmasse at his manor of Gréenwich, & on the Twelfe night, Ed. Hall in Hen. 8. fol. lix. A moueable garden called the garden of Esperance, verie costlie & artificiallie wrought. accor|ding to the old custome, he and the queene came into the hall: and when they were set, and the quéene of Scots also, there entered into the hall a garden arti|ficiall, called the garden of Esperance. This garden was towred at euerie corner, and railed with railes gilt, all the bankes were set with flowers artificiall of silke and gold, the leaues cut of gréene sattin, so that they séemed verie flowers. In the midst of this garden was a piller of antique worke, all gold set with pearles and stones; and on the top of the piller, which was six square, was a louer or an arch em|bowed, crowned with gold: within which stood a bush of roses red and white, all of silke and gold, and a bush of pomegranats of like stuffe. In this garden wal|ked six knights, and six ladies richlie apparelled; and then they descended and dansed manie goodlie dan|ses, and so ascended the garden againe, and were con|ueied out of the hall, and then the king was serued of a great banket. After this Christmasse the king ex|ercised himselfe much in hawking.
