by summer 1529, Clement was the handmaid and servant of Charles V claiming, “I will
live and die an Imperialist.” Campeggio lollygags and issues a procedural sabotage
with Wolsey taking a dive. By Aug 1529, Henry is moving on Parliament as a response
to the Clement-Charles V-Campeggio ambush. Henry heads out on progress to the north

and, by this crisis and coincidence (from a human angle), Cranmer will get further
involved in the matter. By Nov 1529, Cranmer has written a manuscript on the matter
for Henry with circulation at OXBRIDGE, suggested tribunals, while Cranmer preps
for a run to the Imperial Court and Rome.
