This iour|nie into Gascoigne was verie costlie, and to small purpose (as writers haue recorded) for the kings char|ges amounted to the summe of 27 hundred thousand pounds and aboue, except lands and rents, which he gaue vnaduisedlie to those which l [...]ttle deserued, but rather sought the hinderance both of him and his realme, besides the gift of [...]0 thousand marks, which he bestowed vpon his halfe brethren by the mothers side, not reckoning the lands nor rents, neither yet the wards nor the horsses, nor iewels which he gaue to them besides, being of price inestimable.
