Now master Magnus being sore offended with Testwood for plucking down his papers,1 to be revenged on him, devised with the Dean and the rest of the Canons, to send their letters to D. Chamber, one of their brethren, and the Kings Physician, who lay (for the most part) at the Court, to see what he would do against Testwood. Which letters being made, were sent with speed. But whatsoever the cause was,2 whether he durst not meddle for fear of Cromwell, or what else I cannot tell, their suite came to none effect. Then wist they not what to do, but determined to let the matter sleep, till S. Georges feast, which was not far of.
