    &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;+1&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;1529&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;FONT size=-1&gt;&lt;b&gt;Background&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;The tone of this letter differs remarkably from the 
  preceding letter.&amp;nbsp; The disastrous and humiliating legatine hearings at 
  Blackfriars in May 1529 had finally convinced Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn that 
  Wolsey could not secure the annulment.&amp;nbsp; Anne now believed, and with good 
  reason, that the Cardinal had never intended for her to be queen of England 
  and had hoped the endless delays of the annulment would cool Henry's passion 
  for her.&amp;nbsp; She was angry, and now more receptive to the anti-Wolsey 
  machinations of her uncle, the duke of Norfolk, and other other noblemen who 
  resented Wolsey's influence with the king.&amp;nbsp; Anne now became their willing 
  partner in destruction; they had their way and in October of 1529, 
  the Cardinal fell spectacularly from grace.&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;FONT size=-1&gt;Upon 
  Wolsey's fall, his position was filled by his far less ostentatious and more 
  cunning protégé, Thomas Cromwell.&amp;nbsp; He learned the lessons of Wolsey's 
  life well, and his initial support of Anne Boleyn was tempered by a realistic 
  understanding of Henry VIII's temperament.&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;hr&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;My lord, &lt;BR&gt;Though you are a man of great understanding, you 
    cannot avoid being censured by every body for having drawn on yourself the 
    hatred of a king who had raised you to the highest degree to which the 
    greatest ambition of a man seeking his fortune can aspire.&amp;nbsp; I cannot 
    comprehend, and the king still less, how your reverent lordship, after 
    having allured us by so many fine promises about divorce, can have repented 
    of your purpose, and how you could have done what you have, in order to 
    hinder the consummation of it.&amp;nbsp; What, then, is your mode of 
    proceeding?&amp;nbsp; You quarreled with the queen to favor me at the time when 
    I was less advanced in the king's good graces; and after having therein 
    given me the strongest marks of your affection, your lordship abandons my 
    interests to embrace those of the queen.&amp;nbsp; I acknowledge that I have put 
    much confidence in your professions and promises, in which I find myself 
    deceived.&amp;nbsp; But, for the future, I shall rely on nothing by the 
    protection of Heaven and the love of my dear king, which alone will be able 
    to set right again those plans which you have broken and spoiled, and to 
    place me in that happy station which God wills, the king so much wishes, and 
    which will be entirely to the advantage of the kingdom.&amp;nbsp; The wrong you 
    have done me has caused me much sorrow; but I feel infinitely more in seeing 
    myself betrayed by a man who pretended to enter into my interests only to 
    discover the secrets of my heart.&amp;nbsp; I acknowledge that, believing you 
    sincere, I have been too precipitate in my confidence; it is this which has 
    induced, and still induces me, to keep more moderation in avenging myself, 
    not being able to forget that I have been Your servant, &lt;BR&gt;Anne 
  Boleyn.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
