Vatican  Excuses  his  brevity  by  the  haste  of  the  courier,  hoping  to  write  in

Archives,  two  days  more  fully.  Has  forgotten  the  two  last  times  he  wrote  to  inform
him  that  what  he  had  written  to  the  Emperor  was  quite  true  of  the  great
love  and  goodwill  the  King  had  shown  the  Princess  when  he  last  came  to
her  near  this.  Among  other  familiar  conversation  he  conjured  her  to  tell  him
if  she  had  consented  to  his  will  cordially  or  with  dissimulation,  for  he  hated
nothing  more  than  dissemblers,  and  sometimes  his  councillors  advised  him  to
dissemble  with  ambassadors,  but  he  would  never  do  so,  and  he  begged
the  Princess  in  this  matter  to  show  herself  his  dau^ter.  To  which  she
replied  to  him  as  she  ought,  and  she  will  take  good  care  henceforward  to
dissemble  as  it  is  requisite,  e^>ecially  being  warned  by  me  of  the  danger  she
vrill  incur  doing  otherwise.  I  think  if  she  come  to  Court  she  will  set  many
things  right  by  her  good  sense  and  the  help  of  Cromwell,  who  shows  himself
her  most  devoted  servant.  It  is  reported  here  that  the  king  of  Scots  has
passed  into  France.  Men  speak  variously  of  the  cause ;  some  think  it  was
for  fear  of  a  rebellion  in  his  realm  on  account  of  his  new  marriage.  London,
