[1] After the death of the pope, Polydor. Cardinall woolsie ma|keth meanes to be elected pope. doctor Richard Pace was sent to Rome, to make fréends in the behalfe of the cardinall of Yorke, who was brought into a vaine hope thorough the kings fauour and furtherance, to be elected pope. But Adrian the sixt of that name was chosen before doctor Pace could come to Rome; and so that sute was dashed. Guic. pag. 823. ¶This Adrian bishop of Derchuso (after great contention in the college of cardinals touching the election of a new pope) was preferred to the custome of lotting of voices in the conclaue, without anie affection or parcialitie of voice: he was of nation a Fleming, & in his youth hauing béene schoolemaister to Cesar, and by his meane made cardinall vnder pope Leo, did at that time gouerne Spaine in the absence of Cesar. And as there began some voices to publish for him, so car|dinall Xisto one of that election, began vnder an ora|tion speciall, to recount and amplifie his vertues and knowledge, by whose example certeine other cardi|nals yeelded, and the residue from hand to hand fol|lowed, though more by constraint than councell.
