Over and besides all which, it is moreover supposed, that some part of displeasure might rise against him, by reason of a certain talk, which happened a little before at Lambeth, at what time the king after the making of the vi. Articles, sent the said Lord Cromwell his Vicegerent, with the two Dukes of Norfolk & Suffolk, with all the Lords of the Parliament to Lambeth, to dine with the Archbishop (who mightily had disputed and alleged in the Parliament against the said Articles) to cheer and comfort his daunted spirits again.

There the said Cromwell with the other noble Lords sitting with the Archbishop at his table in talk,1 as every lord brought forth his sentence in commendation of Cranmer, to signify what good will both the king & they bare unto him: among the rest one of the company entering into a comparison between the said Thomas Cranmer, and Thomas Wolsey late Cardinal of York, declared in his judgement, that Cranmer was much to be preferred for his mild and gentle nature, where as the Cardinal was a stubborn and a churlish prelate, and one that could never abide any noble man, and that (said he) know you well enough, my Lord Cromwell, for he was your Master, &c. At these words the Lord Cromwell being somewhat touched to hear the Cardinals service cast in his teeth, inferred again, saying: that he could not deny but he was servant sometime to Cardinal Wolsey, neither did repent the same, for he received of him both fee, meat, and drink, and other commodities: but yet he was never so far in love with him, as to have waited upon him to Rome, if he had been chosen Pope, as he understood that he would have done if the case had so fallen out. Which when the other had denied to be true, Cromwell still persisted, affirming the same, and showing moreover what number of Florins he should have received, to be his Admiral, and to have safe conducted him to Rome, in case he had been elected Bishop of Rome. The party not a little moved with these words, told him, he lied. The other again affirmed it to be true. Upon this, great and high words rose between them. Which contention although it was through entreaty of the Archbishop and other nobles somewhat pacified for the time, yet it might be, that some bitter root of grudge remained behind, which afterward grew unto him to some displeasure. And this was, an. 1540. in the month of July. Ex testimonio, Secretarij. Cantuar.
