A treatise on the pretended divorce between Henry VIII. and Catharine of Aragon
The first whereof was that the King was married to [the] Lady Anne Bulleyne long ere there was any divorce made by the said Archbishop [of Canterbury]. The which marriage was secretly made at Whitehall very early before day, none being present but Mr. Norris and Mr. Henage of the Privy Chamber and the Lady Barkeley, with Mr. Rowland the King's chaplain, that was afterward made Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield. To whom the King told that now he had gotten of the Pope a lycence to marry another wife, and yet to avoid business and tumult the thing must be done (quoth the King) very secretly; and thereupon a time and place was appointed to the said Master Rowland to solemnize the said marriage.
[25th January 1533] At which time Mr. Rowland being come accordingly, and seeing all things ready for celebration of mass and to solemnize the marriage, being in a great dump and staggering, came to the King and said—"Sir, I trust you have the Pope’s lycence, both that you may marry and that I may join you together in marriage." "What else?" quoth the King. Upon this he turned to the altar and revested himself, but yet not so satisfied, and troubled in mind he cometh eftsoones to the King and saith—"This matter toucheth us all very nighe, and therefore it is expedient that the lycence be read before us all, or else we run all—and I more deep than any other —into excommunication in marrying your grace without any baynes asking, and in a place unhallowed, and no divorce as yet promulged of the first matrimony." The King, looking upon him very amiably, "Why, Master Rowland," quoth he, "think you me a man of so small faith and credit, you, I say, that do well know my life passed, and even now have heard my confession? or think you me a man of so small and slender foresight and consideration of my affairs that unless all things were safe and sure l would enterprize this matter? I have truly a lycence, but it is reposed in another sure[r] place whereto no man resorteth but myself, which, if it were seen, should discharge us all. But if I should, now that it waxeth towards day, fetch it, and be seen so early abroad, therc would rise a rumour and talk thereof other than were convenient. Goe forth in God’s name, and do that which appertaineth to you. I will take upon me all other danger." Whereupon he went to mass, and celebrated also all ceremonies belonging to marriage. This is, then, one error and fault. For, though the first marriage were not good, yet could not the King marry before the sentence of divorce, unless he should have [had] two wives living all at one time. But now let us dig another hole or two in the wall with Ezechiell, and then shall we sce two other great filthinesses and abhominations.
