Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Some iudged, that this proclamation was made,What was su [...]mised to be the cause of this procla|mation. bicause the quéene (as was said) had purchased a new bull for ratification of hir marriage. Others thought that it was made, bicause the cardinall had EEBO page image 915 purchased a bull to cursse the king, if he would not restore him to his old dignities, and suffer him to correct the spiritualtie, the king not to meddle with the same. In déed manie coniectured, that the cardi|nall grudging at his fall from so high dignities, stic|ked not to write things sounding to the kings re|proch, both to the pope, and other princes; for that ma|nie opprobrious words were spoken to doctor Ed|ward Kéerne the kings orator at Rome, and that it was said to him, that for the cardinals sake the king should haue the worse spéed in the sute of his matri|monie.
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.
