Some write that the Cardinal did bear the Emperor such malice, because when the Pope was imprisoned, as before, the Cardinal wrote unto the Emperor to make him Pope; and he sent him an answer that pleased him not: whereupon he writ menacing Letters unto him, that if he would not make him Pope, he would make such a ruffling betwixt Christian, Princes as was not this hundred years before, to make the Emperor repent, yea, though it cost the whole Realm of England: the Emperor returned him answer, bidding him look well unto it, lest through his doings it should cost him the Realm of England indeed.
