book in No. 15 fixes the date as August, and No. 16 is fixed for August

20th, by Wolsey's finding a lodging for Anne. No. 17 is fixed for

September (16th?) by Campeggio's arrival at Paris (September 14, 1528),

and No. 18 by his illness as towards the end of October. The scheme had

been partly worked out when the editor observed that Mr. Brewer had

already arranged them in his Calendar of State Papers, and to him

therefore this order is due.

The old arrangement was 4, 6, 10, 1, 5, 17, 16, 2, 11, 3, 13, 9, 12, 7,

14, 15, 18, 8.
