Though I understood that he was very aged and sickly, yet for the advancement of the said peace, and for the furtherance of your causes, I was contented to conform myself to your said motion[…] And upon that, your good comfort and faithful promise, I assented to the said marriage, which else I would never have granted to, as at the same time I showed unto you more at large.]"

"… for as soon as she came a lond, and also when he was married, she began to take upon her not only to rule the Queen, but also that she should not come to him, but she should be with her, nor that no lady nor lord should speak with her but she should hear it, and began to set a murmur and banding amongst ladies of the Court.

"Last Tuesday night the French King visited her and asked if she had made any promise of marriage, assuring her that if she would be plain with him he would promote it, whether it were in his realm or out of it. She then confessed to him the good mind she bore to Suffolk, and begged he would write to Henry in his behalf, as he has since done. Answered the French King thus in order to be relieved of the annoyance of his suit, which was not to her honor, and which he has now given up. Begs him to consider that if he do not favor her wishes Francis may renew his suit."

Whereunto, good brother, you condescended and granted, as you well know, promising unto me that in such case [… mine own heart and mind should be best pleased ; and that wheresoever I should dispose myself, you would wholly be contented with the same."]
