When this glorious title was come from Rome, the Cardinal brought it unto the kings grace at Greenwich, and though that the king had it already, and had read it, yet against the morning, were all the Lords and Gentlemen that could in so short space be gathered, sent for, to come & receive it with honour. In the morning, the cardinal gate him through the back side, into the Friar observants, and part of the Gentlemen went round about and welcomed him from Rome, part met him half way, and some at the Court gate. The king himself, met him in the hall, and brought him up into a great chamber,1 whereas was a seat prepared on high, for the king and the Cardinal to sit on, whiles the Bull was read. Which pomp all men of wisdom and understanding, laughed to scorn.
