on, on the other hand,
writing at the same time from the same place (for he had returned from
France, and was present with d'Inteville at the last interview), says, "The
King has made up his mind to a complete separation from Rome; and the lords
and the majority of the people go along with him."--Chastillon to the

[639] On the 15th of November, Queen Catherine wrote to the Emperor, and
after congratulating him on his successes against the Turks, she continued,

"And as our Lord in his mercy has worked so great a good for Christendom by
your Highness's hands, so has he enlightened also his Holiness; and I and
all this realm have now a sure hope that, with the grace of God, his
Holiness will slay this second Turk, this affair between the King my Lord
and me. Second Turk, I call it, from the misfortunes which, through his
Holiness's long delay, have grown out of it, and are now so vast and of so
ill example that I know not whether this or the Turk be the worst. Sorry am
I to have been compelled to importune your Majesty so often in this matter,
for sure I am you do not need my pressing. But I see delay to be so
calamitous, my own life is so unquiet and so painful, and the opportunity
to make an end now so convenient, that it seems as if God of his goodness
had brought his Holiness and your Majesty together to bring about so great
a good. I am forced to be importunate, and I implore your Highness for the
passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, that in return for the signal benefits
which God each day is heaping on you, you will accomplish for me this great
blessing, and bring his Holiness to a decision. Let him remember what he
promised you at Bologna. The truth here is known, and he will thus destroy
the hopes of those who persuade the King my Lord that he will never pass
judgment."--Queen Catherine to Charles V.: _MS. Simancas_, November 15,
1533.

[641] We remember the northern prophecy, "In England shall be slain the
decorate Rose in his mother's belly," which the monks of Furness
interpreted as meaning that "the King's Grace should die by the hands of
priests."--Vol. i. cap
