[319] "Le premier estoit si Dieu vouloit visiter le Roy de quelque pet.i.te maladie." The word _pet.i.te_ implied perhaps in Chapuys's mind that Dr.

b.u.t.ts contemplated a disorder of which he could control the dimensions, and the word, if he used it, is at least as suspicious as Cromwell's language about Mary.
