Though I am unlettered, and cannot understand what these Bishops have said, neither can utter my mind in that tongue which they have done, yet I must declare the cause of my sending as well as I may, which was not to contend with or injury any man, especially in presence of such a one at whose beck all the world doth stoop, but our Legacy is to present, in the presence of the whole Church of Rome, the devotion and love of our King, which he ever had and still hath towards you, and that it might the better appear to your excellency, he hath appointed for the furniture of this Legacy his greatest and chiefest subjects of such worthiness and parentage, that if he could have found greater in his Realm he would have sent them, for the reverence of your person and holy Church of Rome: I might add more, which your Sanctitude hath already proved, the hearty fidelity of our King towards you, who at the entrance to his Kingdom, submitted himself, and all his, wholly to your will and pleasure, and we believe there is none more faithful in Christ then he, nor more devout to God, nor more moderate in keeping the unity of peace: neither do I deny touching the Archbishop of Canterbury, a man not unfurnished with gifts in his calling, being both sage and discreet, saving that he seemeth to some more quick and sharp then needeth, if this blot had not been, the King and he had not dissented: then both the temporality and spiritualty might have flourished one with the other in much peace, under so worthy a Prince, and so virtuous a pastor, therefore our message and supplication to your vigilant prudence, is that through your favour and wisdom the neck of this dissension may be broken, and reformation of unity and love by some good means may be sought.
