[369] Father Forest hath laboured divers manner of ways to expulse Father
Laurence out of the convent, and his chief cause is, because he knoweth
that Father Laurence will preach the king's matter whensoever it shall
please his Grace to command him.--Ibid. p. 250.

[373] Vaughan to Cromwell: _State Papers,_ vol. vii. p. 489-90. "I learn
that this book was first drawn by the Bishop of Rochester, and so being
drawn, was by the said bishop afterwards delivered in England to two
Spaniards, being secular and laymen. They receiving his first draught,
either by themselves or some other Spaniards, altered and perfinished the
same into the form that it now is; Peto and one Friar Elstowe of
Canterbury, being the only men that have and do take upon themselves to be
conveyers of the same books into England, and conveyers of all other things
into and out of England. If privy search be made, and shortly, peradventure
in the house of the same bishop shall be found his first copy. Master More
hath sent oftentimes and lately books unto Peto, in Antwerp--as his book of
the confutation of Tyndal, and of Frith's opinion of the sacrament, with
divers other books. I can no further learn of More's practices, but if you
consider this well, you may perchance espy his craft. Peto laboureth
busylier than a bee in the setting forth of this book. He never ceaseth
running to and from the court here. T
