Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 After this, the duke of Norffolke departed home into his countrie, and last of all the duke of Suffolke also followed the other. For he hauing spent liberal|lie in his iournies when he went as ambassador into France, also in the solemnization of his marriage, and in houskéeping since he was maried, borrowed great summes of monie of the king,The duke of Suffolkes [...]ope hinde| [...]ed by the cardinall. which he hoped should haue béene forgiuen him: but the cardinall would not haue it so, to the intent that the duke be|ing behind hand in debt, should be the more at com|mandement. For as wealth maketh men loftie, so dooth want make them lowlie. In the moneth of Oc|tober, Edw. Hall. An ambassa| [...] from the em [...]erour Maximilian. in this eight yeare of king Henrie, Matthew bishop of Sion or Sittin, a cardinall (commonlie cal|led the cardinall of the Swizzes) came into England from the emperour Maximilian.
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.
