Whereby the king began somewhat more to smell and misdoubt the doings of the Bishop: but yet he so covertly and clearly conveyed his matters, playing under the board, after his wonted fetches in such sort, as I can not tell how) still he kept in with the king, to the great inquietatiō of the public state of the Realm, and especially of Christs Church.
