They first came into France, and after into England, but perceiuing the minds of the kings nothing inclined to concord, they returned to Rome without any con|clusion of their purpose, but not without monie ga|thered of religious men to beare out their expenses, for they had authoritie by the popes grant to receiue in name of procuracies and expenses, six marks of e|uerie cathedrall and collegiat church thorough the realme,The cardi|nals gather monie. besides diuerse other rewards. And where any poore chapiter of nunnes or religious persons were not able of themselues, the parish churches next adioining were appointed to be contributorie with them.

Sir Thomas Turberuiles promise to the French king. to saue his life, and to deliuer him|selfe out of captiuitie, though he was neuer proued false before, promised king Philip that if he would suffer him to returne into England, he would so worke with king Edward, that he might be made by him admerall of the seas; which thing brought to passe he would deliuer the English nauie into the hands of the said king Philip.
