[1] [2] This message was most thankefullie receiued at Rome, and order taken to send the said cardinall hi|ther with great expedition: but before his comming, quéene Marie had married Philip prince of Spaine, [page 1093] as after shall appeare. But here to touch somewhat the comming of the said cardinall. When he was ar|riued at Calis, there was conference had amongest the councellors of the quéene for the maner of his re|ceiuing:The councell diuided about the receiuing of the cardi|nall. some would haue had him verie honoura|blie met and interteined, as he was in all places where he had before passed, not onelie for that he was a cardinall, and a legat from the pope; but also for that he was the quéenes néere kinsman, of the house of Clarence. Neuerthelesse, after much debating, it was thought méetest, first, for that by the lawes of the realme (which yet were not repealed) he stood at|tainted by parlement, and also for that it was doubt|full how he being sent from Rome, should be accep|ted of the people, who in fiue and twentie yeares be|fore, had not béene much acquainted with the pope or his cardinals, that therefore (vntill all things might be put in order for that purpose) he should come without anie great solemnitie vnto Lambeth, where (in the archbishops house) his lodging was prepared.
