[313] "Il me dit que vostre Majeste ne se debvoit arrester pour empescher ung si inestimable bien que produiroit en toute la Chresteanete l'union et la bonne intelligence dentre vostre Majeste et le Roi son maistre pour l'affaire des Royne et Princesse qui n'estoient que mortelles; et que ne seroit grande dommage de la morte de la dicte Princesse au pris du bien que sortiroit de la dicte union et intelligence; en quoy il me prioit vouloir considerer quand seroy seul et desoccupe."

[319] "Le premier estoit si Dieu vouloit visiter le Roy de quelque pet.i.te maladie." The word _pet.i.te_ implied perhaps in Chapuys's mind that Dr.

b.u.t.ts contemplated a disorder of which he could control the dimensions, and the word, if he used it, is at least as suspicious as Cromwell's language about Mary.
