[836] 16th October 1528. Du Bellay to Montmorency. Le Grand, Preuves, p. 170.
[837] Coverdale's Remains (Parker Society), p. 490. The authority for this statement is a letter from Coverdale to Cromwell, which the editor of the "remains" assigns to the year 1527. Mr. Anderson (Annals of the Bible, i. p. 239), places it four years later, in 1531. Foxe asserts that Cromwell was at the siege of Rome in May 1527, on the authority of Cranmer and Cromwell himself (Acts and Mon. v. p. 365). If so, the letter cannot belong to that year; but 1531 is improbable. I am inclined to think it was written in 1528; but any way there is a difficulty with the date.
