What great revenues had proceeded hence, thither, the like whereof hath not been received out of any Country on this side the Alps, and that he would stand for his liberties unto death, nor would not be so shaken from the election of the Bishop of Norwich, which he seeth so commodious to him, and that if his request were not heard, he would provide by Seas that there should be no more such gadding to Rome, to export the riches of his Land thither, whereby he is less abled against his Enemies, and that he had sufficient Prelates of his ⟨p. 73⟩own, and hath no need of any from abroad.
