The Cardinal now sitting in Council, together with the Governor, at Edinburgh, the 23d day of September, made answer — That as to the loading with victual, he understood that the ships had no such loading, except it was fish ; and that he could not perceive by the treaties but that the merchants, subjects of both realms, might use their accustomed traffic, with such merchandize as they have been in use to transport to other countries ; and as to the unseemly words spoken of the Governor, the co...g- nizance and punishment thereof appertained to him, and not to the King of England. After which the Cardinal having demanded — Whether the King his master would yet ratify the treaties, provided hostages should be delivered according to the tenor thereof, and whether he would restore the ships, and cause redress to be made for some inroads on the Borders? — the English ambassador not taking upon him to give any assurance of this in his Majesty ""s name, and having desired the Council here to declare their resolution to perform liter- ally the treaties, before he should write to his master to know his pleasure herein, as the Cardinal had requested him to do ; and the Council having made answer — That the matters were weighty, and they must have time to advise upon the same, and would declare their resolution upon knowledge of his master's intention ; it doth not appear that there was afterwards any further communing upon the head, but that both parties looked upon the treaties as good as at an end ; and indeed it is probable enough that the Cardinal, who then acted as Prime Minister, and who by the superiority of his genius did much outshine the Governor, had no mind to ad- here to the treaties, even though satisfaction should be made by King Henry for any infraction of them, and though he should agree to ratify them in the terms proposed.
