,.. CARDINAL POLE.
The London Alhcnaum, in a review of the
third volume of "The Lives of the Arch
biitbops of Canterbury," by tho Dean of Chi
heBtcr, which has just boon pnhlishod in
London, gives tho following interesting sketch
f Cardinal role:
We have said that Tolo wa1? of royal blood
When his grandfather Clarence, brother of
Edward the Fourth and Richard the Third,
wan drowned in ft butt of Malmsey or m tho
Thames in n Malmsey butt ho loft two chil
dren, the little Eurlof Warwick and the Lady
Margaret the latter so well known to us m
the ill-fated Countess of Salisbury. Henry the
Seventh murdered tho little Earl to got rid of
h pretender, and Lady Margaret was married
to a Welshman, Itieh.ird Polo, who persuaded
his princess that he was descended from Cad
wallader. Of this couple, Keginald was one
of the children, born iu l.MM). The family was
looked upon at Court with that sort of disliko
and fear with which poor relations are said to
be looked on by their richer kinsfolk, of
whom they are tho inevitable heirs. Queon
Katharine, indeed, would willingly have neon
in KegKiald the future husband of her daugh
ter Mary. "Such a marriage,-' says Dr. Hook,
"was regarded as possible by Polo himself,
and to this circumstance we may trace some
of tho inconsistencies of his career. It is to
be remarked that even when he was created
a Cardinal, Pole declined to being made a
priest." Meanwhile, Polo wont through
nchool and university with credit, travelled,
wrote a book, and signalized his author
ship by never writing so good a book as his
first, the life of Longolio. When ho returned,
a man, from the travel and sojourn on tho
Continent which he had begun as little more
than a boy, ho was "of spare body, fresh
complexion, of rather a broad face, but with
ycs which showed the gentleness of his dis
position,'' but which, we may add, often be
lied it, and as often belied in their apparent
truthfulness the want of veracity which
distinguished Pole on more than
one occasion. This last defect did not
spring not always at least from more im
pulse or blindness of di.sccrnmont, but was
adopted deliberately when needed. State
papers now for tho first time betray the fact
that Pole's acts aad Pole's words were often at
variance. Dr. Hook proves, moreover, that
after Pole attained to power, ho was ono of
the cruellest men of his time. In nierciless
ness to Protestants he far surpassed Gardinor,
who has suffered much misrepresentation in
this matter.
Iieginnld was not even in orders when
Henry the Eighth made him an offer of tho
Archbishopric of York. It was a princely
place for one of tjuasi royal birth, but not
being hereditary, it did not lift the Pole
family nearer to the throne. Moreover, it
was a bribe, by which Henry, or his
agent, hoped to bind Polo to the King's
party in the question of tho divorce
from Katharine. Keginald, however, declined
to commit himself; and ho lost the Archbish
opric, but not altogether, as yet, the regard
or neeming regard vof the King. At all
events, he remained unmolested, perhaps be
cause he gave at least a tacit assent to the
King's supremacy. However, furnished with
princely means, Pole repaired to Italy, whore
he gathered around him the noblest, the
subtlest, the most free, the most orthodox,
the most inquiring, tho most doubting, and
the most intellectual spirits of the time.
Dr. Hook says, and says truly we think,
that at first the tendency of Pole's moral -and
intellectual character was towards Protestant
ism, but that "through hostility to Henry he
became a Papist. " This latter name is almost
invariably used by the author as tho best one
to distinguish a partisan who is not merely a
Catholic. But Pole was, in spirit at all
events, with those who would have reformed
the Church without removing its spiritual
head at Home. Only a short timo had
elapsed since a preaching Dean in tho
Papal chapel had placed Christ on a
level with Phocion, Epaniinondas, Aristidos,
and Socrates. Zeus Pater and God the Father
were to him the same beings under different
names. In Apollo and JEsculapius he saw
types of the Son. If Jesus died on the cross
for the good of mankind, Decius and Curtius j
sacrificed themselves for the good of their j
country; and there were Queens of Heaven
Diana, Venus, Minerva, Juno before Mary '
was raised to that dignity and the Father was I
practically dethroned! Altogether, it may 1
Le said that a pn, with his eyes j
iesolv.tc!y Mint could not help bee. '
jng the necessity for a reform. Tola
had discerned that necessity; but ho had
learnt to hate the turn which events had
taken in England more than he could deplore
the corruptions of the Church of the Papaay.
At Venice (as we learn from tho Simancas
papers) Pole confided to the Imperial Envoy,
Zomoza (A. D. I.ri34) his political plans and
aspirations: ana .ornoza recommended the
Emperor not to refuse the services of a man
who was near the blood royal of England,
who was in correspondence with persons in
that country who wore planning an insurrec
tion there, and who, with aid from the Empe
ror, might place England itself under the feet
of Charles !
It is certain that at this time Pole was pro
fessing neutrality to Henry; but he speedily
threw oft that affectation. He llung a thun
derbolt into his native kingdom, in the shape
of that famous piece, "De Unitate," in which,
like M. Lodru llollin, he assorted the sacred
right of insurrection, on the part of a dissat
isfied people, against the sovereign and his
Government. In this publication Pole
spared no one who stood before
him a? an adversary nothing that
might be an obstacle iu his path. "He
broke down the iloodgales by which his vio
lent and vindictive feelings hud been hitherto
dammed up. The torrent of his indigna
tion and. wrath knew no bounds." If Pope
and Emperor would but join hands, Eng
land would be theirs; and Pole evidently cared
little what devastation might be spread, as
long as he and his party stoo4 upright in the
general wreck.
Home acted as offensively as she could just
then that is to say, when Pole went thither
he was received with royal honors, as if he
had been the rightful heir of England. A
Cardinal's hat was put upon the head that had
not yet even received the ordiuury clerloal
touHure, which intimates a mm designed for
the clergy. The cardinal on this occasion
was less pleased than tho emperor, who now
considered a union between a cardinal and
the l'rinoess Mary of England impossible;
but Cardinal Pole was not in holy orders, and
though the marriage by which his ambition
would have been gratified was, perhaps, a less
probable event than before, yet dispensations
had not been refused under similar circum
stances. Circumstances, however, began to
look grave. Pole undertook to go, as Papal
Legate, to Flanders, to confer there with in
enrgent agents on the best moans for carrying
a revolution in England to a successful issue.
Among his baggage and he travelled like
akinpr was a Pnpnl proclamation to bo pnb
libijtd iu Louuon on the uuurreetion, being
triumphant. The Pope approved it, and the
people were ' exhorted to obey his Legate, on
the grounds of his office, his merits, and his
high birth. A letter was also addressed to
James tho Fifth of Scotland, almost com
manding him to give that countenance and
support to tho English insurgents which none
could give so effectually as the King of Scot
land. Other letters woro addressed tt other
potentates. They all betrayed tho primary
object in role's mind the utter subjec
tion of England to the Papacy. Hero follows
an excellent specimen of tho author's man
ner of narrating events while ho portrays
character:
"Notwithstanding tho remonstrance from
tho lords and others of tho king's council,
Polo was still in high spirits. He knew that
fifteen lords had conspired to put down tho
Information, that among others tho Nevilles
had boon in the field, Bud thnt the western
counties wcrc'is much excited as tho north
ern. Ho expected to be summoned to Eng
land almost as soon as ho had entered
France. He littlo understood tho power of
intellect and of will which belonged to tho
great prince ou whom he had heaped
unmeasured abuse, and whom he had
ventured to lecture as a schoolboy.
At no time in a long roign was the vigor of
Henry's policy and character fo conspicuous
as it was at the present. With a considerable
portion of his subjects in open insurrection,
with discontent murmuring in every corner
of the land, with Scotland and all Europe in
arms against him, with scarcely a minister
whom he could trust or from whom ha could
seek advice, except Cromwell; so quietly, but
so decisively, did 1 enry overpower all re
sistance, that until lately, when tho State
papers were opened to the public, no his
torian, certainly no reader, was aware of
the dangers to which his government was
at this time exposed, or how near the
insurgents were to success. The calm reso
lution of Henry, the precaution nnited with
vigilance which he displayed, the amount of
labor he endured, and the anxiety he could
not always conceal, are worthy of all admira
tion. The noiseless success is an indication
of a genius which, in its proud consciousness
of strength, wished for no display; and the
political wisdom is worthy of notice, by which
ho avoided all appearance of triumph, and so
left the impression on the public mind that
the insurrection, instead of being a subject of
alarm, was simply a succession of riots, to be
treated with contempt and easily quelled."
For a long and weary period af ter this, Pole
was a mere couspir.il or destined to meet only
disoppointment. Henry was excommuni
cated, Pole was outlawed, and each ruiht
have been assassinated with the eulogy
of the assassin's respective employer. In
trigue, agitation, a knocking at half the royal
gates in Europe, to aid in the overthrow of
England, all came to naught. role became
depressed, but his spirits rose when ho heard
of that cruel slaying of his mother, the Coun
tess of Salisbury, on the scaffold. She per
ished in her innocent old age, as her littlo
brother Warwick had perished in his innocent
youth. But Pole left it to be understood that
his mother had been murdered because of her
religions opinions, whereas she was sentenced
for treasonably, it was said, corresponding
with her son. Tho execution, however, was
at best a judicial murder. When Pole thanked
God for the martyrdom of his mother, he
was himself a Papist only in discipline; ho
believed in justification by faith, and was
something of a Protestant as Dr. Garth was
a Christian, without knowing it. On the
subject of Pnpul supremacy, Polo was a fana
tic, papist, ultramontane, Italian, un-English,
to his fingers' ends. It is well known that
when justification by faith came before the
Council of Trent, Polo withdrew; as he had
hitherto beleived in it, but he accepted the
opposite conclusions pronounced by the
Council.
He has been roundly abused for withdrawing,
but Dr. Hook geuerously, and, as we hold,
successfully, defends the Cardinal at this dilli
cult juncture.
lteginald had long to wait before that op
portunity came by which he profited and
briefly triumphed. When he addressed Ed
ward the Sixth, as a royal cousin, he only
met with contempt; and when he missed
being elected as Pope, he lost an oppor
tunity which, for a moment, was very
menacing to England. WThen Mary ascended
the throne, he recognized the hour, and felt
what was a mistake that he was the irre
sistible and indispensable man. The Pope
and Cardinals, it should not be forgotten,
celebrated the death of the young king as
the gaining of a victory. With all this,
Pole had difficulty in obtaining access, to
England. Many parties wished, him absent;
some feared dangor to himself by his pre
sence. At length, Intrigues were overcome,
and the Cardinal and Papal Legate, after a
progress which was oriental in splendor, al
thouch the splendor was kept under lest
susceptibilities should be alarmed, reached
Gravesend:
"The royal barge was lying before Gravescnd,
waiting ilia letinto'H command. It was splendidly
decoruted ; a clialr of state was spread with purple,
seated on which his most reverend lordship inigat
exhibit hlniBelf to the people without Incurring
unnecessary fatigue. As Pole ascended the barge
the silver ciohh of the legate appeared on Its prow.
The pHssing scene was splendid. A multitude of
vessels were waiting for g signal to escort the legate
up the river iroiu the ornate barge or the noble
man to the hackney boat of the artisan. By the
rapidity of the st renin and the strength of the
rowers, the barge had reached the front of White
hall before any one was aware of its approach. It
had been arranged that l'ule, on his passage to
Lambeth, should pay his respects, in passing, to
tne king and queen at Whitehall; but it had been
calculated that lie would not arrive be I ore dlnne.
was over; and he had now come when the oiticials
were In the midst of their repast. Tliu rowers ceased
to pull ; they looked to the legate for orders; but be
fore he could decide what was to bo done, the Lord
High Chancellor was seen at the head of tho pier.
JilBliop tiardyner, versed in the ways of courts, and
of foreign courts, received the legate with reverence,
making a low obelsuuce, as if at once to admit Ms
superior rank. The arrangements had been, uul"r

though taken by surprise, immediately fell into tueir
places; ami between a lane of liveried ser
vants standing on either side the Loid II :uh

three great personages stood undeif i canopy, con
versing with one another for a quarter' of an hour,
due by one the members of the lepntlon were pre
sented to their majesties by Lord Paget. Tliey kiHsed
hands and were graciously received. When the
cardinal took his departure, iiotwIthHlundlng his
polite remonstrances, the queen insisted upon at
tending htm to the top of the stairs, where she
had tlrst met him. The king went with him to
the door. The Ittshnp of Winchester, the Duke
of Alva, and the nobilltv, both English and Spanish,
accompanied him to his barge at the head of the
pier. The bishop, indeed, entered the barge with
lilru niul crowed the water, lie put the leirite in
possession of Lambeth, which had been splendidly
furnished at the queen's expense, the roams being
hung with costly tapestry."
Soon, there followed the humiliating scene
in which Queen, King Philip, and Parliament
took part silence thero being taken for con
sent when, on tho nation asking pardon of
the Pope, Cardinal Pole declared it reconciled
to the Holy See. Later, in 1 .V..-, by aid of
Parliament, the net was passed by which tho
heel of ropery was fixed crushingly on the
neck of England, but not, as it was supposed,
forever. Speedily thereafter commenced that
bloody persecution of Protestants which
changed nil loyal feeling towards the Queen,
on tho part of Anglo-Catholics (as distin
guished from l ltramontanes) as well as of IIc
formers, into feelings of fear or detestation.
Within three days, in March, 1. ",15, as noon as
Cranmer was burnt, Polo was ordained priest
and consecrated Archbishop of Canter
bury, Mary assumed, for her share in tho new
order of things, tho extirpation of heresy,
"Sometimes iifty poor wretches were left for
execution, when tho judge quitted nn assize
town." After all, Homo was not satisfied, for
the Pontiff complained thnt Pole, who miser
ably failed in trying to play Cardinal Wolsey,
was more careful of Spanish interests than he
was of the Papacy. Pole, not being suf
ficiently servile to Home, was smitten with a
charge of heresy. Some faint trace of Eng
lish spirit exhibited by Tole and the Queen
caused this storm to blow over; but Home
remained as ready to insult the sovereign
and the nation as if these had not fallen
prostrate, and placed their heads beneath its
feet:
"In fact, Paul the Fourth troubled himself no fur
ther In the mailer, and Pole was contented to let
things remain as they were. Hut notwithstanding
this, the charge of heresy was nor withdrawn; the
citation of Pole to appear before the Inquisition as
a reputed heretic was never revoked, lie who
in England was condemning heretics to the stake,
was airaid to appear in Home, lest the furnace he
heated for others should be heated sevenfold for
himself. So deeply dici Pole feel and so indignantly
did he resent the injury, that he composed a trea
tise In his own defense. We know the violence of
language to which his malignant passions would
impel Pole when he went forth, pen In hand, to
meet an adversary. We can understand, tiierelore,
why he should have paused before transmitting the
treatise; and we are Impressed with the depth nnd
sineerity of his religions convictions, when we are
informed that, on reviewing what he had written,
he thought of the curse which Ham had incurred
tCicn. Ix. 122 2ft), mid saying, 'I will not discover
my father's nakedness," he threw the fair copy of
the memorial Into the lire. I wish, for the credit
of Pole, we could stop here; but the truth, though
oflen overlooked, cannot be concealed, that it was
during Pole's ascendancy In the councils of Queen
Wary, that the majority of those persecutions for
religious opinions took place which have attached
forever the epithets of 'the bloody' to) her name,
and covered her reign with ignominy and tiis
graie." For these, and a host of other iniquitous
proceedings, the Dean of Chichester holds
Polo responsible. He gives both the narra
tive and his reasons at considerable length.
Dr. Hook has nlso something to say in miti
gation of judgment; at least on the Queen:
"So dear to our hearts are the interests of com
merce, that within our own memory Kauntleroy was
hanged for forgery; so vigilant were our fathers in
their zeal for the rights of property that many a
starving fellow-creature has been condemned to
death for sheep stealing; so sacred are the game
laws that men are still destroyed like vermin who
cannot be made to understand that tho rights of pro
nertv extend over birds or beasts which they regard
as being wild. We must mete out the same measure
to Pole and to Mary: they felt that the country
would cease to be a christian land if men were per
mitted to exercise their private judgmeut iu reli
gious matters, contrary to the decision of
these councils which were regarded as expressing
the one voice of Christendom. We are, at the same
time, to remember that, under the cruel code then
In actual existence, great as was the number of
those who suffered in the cause of religion, it was
as not him? in comnarison with the numoer of those
consigned without compunction to a death If possi
ble more cruel for political oilcnces. Hundreds were
condemned for uttering sentiments which we should
now regard as patriotic, but which were at th'at
time treasonable. For one person executed in this
reign for religion there were a hundred buchered
for treason; that is. for a contention on behalf of
civil liberty against an intolerable dear -sin. We
express disgust, and we are Justified iu doing so,
at tne unieeiing coarseness oi isonner; out su:w
we ought to feel equal disgust at reading such &
sentence as the following: The queen granted a
general pardon to the people of Kent afier having
caused nre wore of the most guilty to be executed.'
Tho sentence occurs in a letter from RensM
to the Emperor. This is not said to palliate the law's
extreme severity, but to account for the fact that
neither Vary nor Pole, nor any other member of
the privy council, ever felt any compunctious visit
lugs of conscience for having permitted the law to
take its course. To execute live score was considered,
an act of mercy ; and in sparing the other guilty
persons Mary felt entitled to call herself merciful.
Any ready merciful person will admit the lull force
of those palliating and explanatory circumstances,
and, in my desire to do justice to all peisous, I have
alluded to them more than once. I am inclined to
think much more severely of Pole's case. When we
remember that his temper was merciful, and when
we compare the leniency of his government at
Viterbo with the severity he exhibited in England,
we attribute the change in his conduct to a selllsh
ness awfully criminal. It is impossible not to per
ceive that he let the law take its course without an
attempt on his partto mitigate its ferocity, In order
that the zeal against heresy in England might be a
Bulllcieiit answer to those who denounced him lis a
heretic at Re-roe."
We have only to add that Pole was not nn
enemy to "Madame Elizabeth;-' yet, to the
last, there was a full homage of love iu his
heart towards Mary, of whose death he heard,
as he was dying, with a calm, touching sor
row. Between then), however, they had lost
England:
"On the morning of the lth of November, r,V3,
Keginald Pole breathed his lust, having lived i!!ty
cight years aud six months. He had Mirvived
(jueen Marv two-and-twenty hours; he lived lojig
enough to hear the cheers with witU the a-reW.ou
of ( 'ueen Klizabeth was acclaimed ; mid the policy
of his late mistress and her minister was in
those joyful acclamations condemned. lie lay
iu state at Lambeth during forty davs,
masses being said for tho repose of irs
soul. With much formal pomp tho corpse
was conveyed to Canterbury, where it wa3 met by a
largo concourse of tho citizen i and of tho cleivf.
At his obsequies a discourse In his praise was deliv
ered from the pulpit both iu English ami in i n'!u.
According to his own deMre he was buried in
Thomas' Chapel. The place where was laid the bndy
of the last of our prlmtites whoa ; head was honored
or dUgrnced bv the red hat, or who had any cobcc u
tlon with Kome, is item, tun by these words: 'l jo
nilum l tirtUmiliii J'oli. ' " -
Such is an outline, with some samples, of
a story which, with few shortcomings aud
contradictory assertions, is told with a simple
grace and earnestness that should recommend
it universally.
