[8] Harleian MSS. No. 6148. This letter is quoted by Burnet in
the first volume of his "History of the Reformation:" it may be
found printed entire in the eighteenth volume of the
"Archaeologia:" and also in the second volume of Ellis's "Original
Letters," first series, p. 33. The MS. consists of a rough
copy-book of the Archbishop's letters, in his own hand writing.

Cavendish's "Life of Wolsey," by Singer, vol. ii. p. 200. This
interesting memoir was written at the close of the sixteenth

by George Wyatt, Esq, grandson of the poet of the same name, and
sixth son and heir of Sir Thomas Wyatt, who was decapitated in
the reign of Queen Mary, for his insurrection.

matrimonium duxit Annam Bulleyne, quam paulo ante amare caeperat.
ex qua suscepit filiam nomine Elizabeth." p. 689. edit. 1570.

authority of one solitary manuscript. There is no reason, however, to
doubt but that they were married in some apartment in that palace, and
most probably in the king's private closet.[13] Dr. Rowland Lee, one of
the royal chaplains, and afterwards Bishop of Coventry officiated, in the

father, mother, and brother. Lord Herbert,[14] whose authority has been
quoted by Hume, says, that Cranmer was also present,
