Master Cromwell since Cardinal Wolsayes death, His majesty is given to understand: Theres certain bills and writings in your hand, That much concerns the state of England, My Lord of Winchester is it not so. I promise you, I Like not something he hath done, But let that pass, the King does love him well. Oh my Lord no more: things passed redress, 'Tis bootless to complain. Weel fellow you my Lord, pray lead the way. This duty in him shows a kind of grace, How fares my Lord? what are you all alone? 'Tis true, he rules the King even as he pleases. Let us not slack it, 'tis for England's good, We must be wary, else heel go beyond us. Make a lane there, the traitors at hand, Keep back Cromwell's men, Drown them if they come on, Sargiant your office. My Lord, my Lord, matters are too well known, And it is time the king had note thereof. You may not stay Lieutenant take your charge. I let him talk his time is short enough. Cromwell the majesty of England, For the good liking he conceives of thee: Makes thee master of the jewel house, Chief Secretary to himself, and with all, Creates thee one of his highness privy counsel. Come then about it, let us guard the town, This is the day that Cromwell must go down. Good morrow Cromwell, what alone so sad. We have, and he hath answered us my Lord. Then come my Lords, lets altogether bring, This new made Counseller to England's King. We did, and left none but Lord Cromwell with him. In what place was Lord Cromwell when he spoke them? My friends take heed of that which you have said, Your souls must answer what your tongues reports: Therefore take heed, be wary what you do. Let them depart my Lord of Winchester, Let these men be close kept, Until the day of trial.
Plot summary
Plot — Thomas Lord Cromwell
So devoted is young Thomas Cromwell to his studies thathe tries to stop his father's workmen from making a noise. Old Cromwell is concerned at his ambitious son's lavishness with money: he seems not to understand the economic realities of life. He is making a living by working as a copyist, but accepts a job as a secretary in Antwerp. Banister owes Friskiball £1,ooo. Bagot has him arrested in Friskiball's name, and hardens the creditor's heart by telling him that Banister has enough money to pay his debts, if he were willing to do so. Frisk.iball relents after Mistress Banister pleads for her husband, and defers the debt until the couple have become prosperous; but the vindictive Bagot buys Banister's debts in order to oppress him. Banister flees to Antwerp, but Bagot pursues and arrests him. Cromwell agref!S to help the Banisters, and speaks to Bagot; but fails to move pity in him. Bagot negotiates with the Governor of Antwerp over some jewels, w:hich turn out to be stolen. Bagot is arrested and sent back to England; Banister is released, and awarded his confi.s.cated property. Cromwell goes to Florence with his servant Hodge, but they are robbed of their clothes. Following Italian custom, they set up bills describing their misfortune, and the anglophile Friskiball gives them money. They travel on to Bologna to relieve the Earl of Bedford, who is trapped in a house surrounded by French troops. Cromwell rescues the Earl posing as a Neapolitan hired by the French to abduct him: Hodge and Bedford exchange clothing, and Hodge is arrested in the Earl's place, but released after news arrives that Bedford is safe in Mantua. Declining the invitation to join the Ead's retinue, Cromwell completes his European tour with a trip to Spain, then returns to England, where he enters the household of Sir Thomas Hales. Im.pressed by Cromwell, Cardinal Wolsey appoints him his solicitor. After Wolsey dies, accused of treason, Croli;lwell surrenders his papers for the King's perusal. A grateful Bedford introduces him to the King; he is knighted and showered with public offices, and sets about reforming the church by confiscating ecclesiastical property. Despite his elevation, he acknowledges the lowly people he knew in his youth and pays the debts he accrued then. Meanwhile Friskiball returns to London in poverty: his debtors have defaulted, and Bagot has been hanged; only Banister acknowledges him. He waits on Cromwell, who remembers him from Florence and repays his…
