Moreover, for the more clear evidence of this matter that Prince Arthur had carnal knowledge of the said Lady Katherine his wife,1 it appeareth in a certain book of Records which we have to show touching this marriage, that the same time when Prince Arthur was first married with this Lady Katherine daughter to Ferdinando, certain Ambassadors of Ferdinando his Counsel were then sent hither into England for the said purpose to see and to testify, concerning the full consummation of the said matrimonial conjunction. Which Counsellors here resident, being solemnly sworn, not only did affirm to both their parents, that the Matrimony was consummate by that act: but also did send over into Spain to her father, such demonstrations of their mutual conjunction, as here I will not name, sparing the reverence of chaste ears: which demonstrations otherwise in those Records being named and testified, do sufficiently put the matter out of all doubt and question.
