Norf. Faith, and so it did

Buck. Pray giue me fauour Sir: This cunning Cardinall

The Articles o'th' Combination drew

As himselfe pleas'd; and they were ratified

As he cride thus let be, to as much end,

As giue a Crutch to th' dead. But our Count-Cardinall

Has done this, and tis well: for worthy Wolsey

(Who cannot erre) he did it. Now this followes,

(Which as I take it, is a kinde of Puppie

To th' old dam Treason) Charles the Emperour,

Vnder pretence to see the Queene his Aunt,

(For twas indeed his colour, but he came

To whisper Wolsey) here makes visitation,

His feares were that the Interview betwixt

England and France, might through their amity

Breed him some preiudice; for from this League,

Peep'd harmes that menac'd him. Priuily

Deales with our Cardinal, and as I troa

Which I doe well; for I am sure the Emperour

Paid ere he promis'd, whereby his Suit was granted

Ere it was ask'd. But when the way was made

And pau'd with gold: the Emperor thus desir'd,

That he would please to alter the Kings course,

And breake the foresaid peace. Let the King know

(As soone he shall by me) that thus the Cardinall

Does buy and sell his Honour as he pleases,

And for his owne aduantage

Norf. I am sorry

To heare this of him; and could wish he were

Somthing mistaken in't

Buck. No, not a sillable:

I doe pronounce him in that very shape

He shall appeare in proofe.

Enter Brandon, a Sergeant at Armes before him, and two or three

of the

Guard.
