Excerpt from The Reign of Henry VIII, Vol. 4 of 4: From His Accession to the Death of Wolsey
On his arrival in England at the end of April, Foxe hastened to Greenwich, where he expected to find Wolsey with the King. He had left two hours before. At which my repair, he writes to Gardiner, the King, being advertised of the same, commanded me to go unto Mistress Anne's chamber; who at that time, for that my lady Princess and divers others the Queen's maidens were sick of the small-pox, lay in the gallery in the tilt yard. And so admitted unto her presence, after declaration made unto the same in generality, first, of such expeditions aswere obtained, and sith, of your singular fidelity, diligence, and dexterity used, not only in the impetration thereof, but also in hastening the coming of the Legate, with your most hearty and humble commendations; which she mest thankfully received, and seemed to take the same most marvellously to heart, ofttimes ln communication calling me Master Stevens, with promlse of large recompense for your good acquittal in the premisses.
